Autogenous healing of concrete can be helpful in structural maintenance by healing cracks using a healing material created by the precipitation of calcite and by the hydration of unhydrated binder around the cracks. Against this backdrop, this study investigated the physicochemical properties and autogenous healing performance of ternary blended binder composed of ordinary Portland cement (OPC), blast furnace slag (BFS), and calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA) clinker. Ternary blended binders with various contents of OPC-BFS-CSA clinker were prepared, and their physicochemical properties and autogenous healing performances were examined using various analytical techniques and visually observed using a microscope. The obtained results indicated that increase in the BFS content accompanied the increased the amount of unreacted BFS even after 28 days of curing and had a positive effect on the autogenous healing performance due to its latent hydration. However, replacing the CSA clinker did not increase the autogenous healing performance owing to an insufficient sulfate source for the formation of ettringite. The main precipitates around the cracks were calcite, C-S-H. Other hydration products such as portlandite, monosulfate, and ettringite, which were not found in the Raman and scanning electron microscope analyses.

이 연구에서는 인공균열치유방법으로서 전기화학적 전착기법을 활용한 균열치유에 관한 실험연구를 통해 부 식모니터링의 관점에서 자기균열치유 및 인공균열치유의 비교분석을 수행하였다. 이를 위해 가압전류의 특성 분석, 갈 바닉 전류의 비교분석, 선형분극저항의 비교분석 및 치유전과 치유후의 균열 치유 향상도를 사진화상 분석기법을 통한 정량화 비교로서 수행하였다. 연구결과로부터, 가압전류 모니터링에서 고정 가압전류에 따른 전압의 결과는 시간의 경 과에 따라 일정부분까지 증가하다가 수렴하는 것을 알 수 있었고, 갈바닉 전류 측정에 의해 인공균열치유의 경우가 자 기균열치유에 비해 더욱 넓은 범위의 전류 vs. 전압 범위 분포를 보여 부식저항성을 안정화하고 있음도 확인하였다. 한 편 사진 화상 분석기법을 통해서는 인공균열치유 기법의 경우가 약 1.63배 자기균열치유에 비해 균열치유 향상효과를 가지는 것으로 분석되었다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of autogenous tooth graft materials after maxillary sinus bone grafts. Methods: The study involved 23 implants in 22 patients who visited the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and the Department of Periodontics, Chosun University Dental Hospital, in 2008 and received autogenous tooth graft materials for maxillary sinus bone grafts. Results: For eight patients with maxillary bone graft materials prior to implant placement, the healing period averaged five months. For eleven patients with simultaneous maxillary bone graft and implant placement, eight patients received a second surgery, with an average healing time of six months. Three patients had a longer observation period with only a fixture implanted. Three patients who received only a bone graft required more time to implant placement because of the lack of residual bone and also for personal reasons. Only 5 patients had biopsies performed and complications such as infection and dehiscence healed well. The application of autogenous graft materials to the maxillary bone graft sites did not exert any significant effects on the success rates. When a mixture of graft materials was used, the post-surgical bone resorption rate was reduced. Histological analysis showed that new bone formation and remodeling were initiated during the three-to-six month healing period. Bone formation capacity increased continuously up to six months after the maxillary bone graft. Conclusion: According to this analysis, excellent stability and bone-forming capacity were seen in cases where autogenous materials were used alone or mixed with other materials. Autogenous tooth graft materials may be substituted instead of autogenous bones.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of adding autogenous bone to the toothash-plaster mixture in the healing process of bone. Full-thickness round osseous defects with the diameter of 20mm were made at the calvarial bone of adult dogs (n=19) bilaterally, which were thought to be critical size defect. The right defects were repaired with the toothash-plaster mixture plus autogenous bone (compressed volume 0.3cc) and the left defects with only toothash-plaster mixture. At 2-, 4-, 8-, 12- and 20- week after implantation, dogs were sacrificed and evaluated the osseous healing of bony defects clinically, radiographically, and microscopically. The results were as follows; 1. At the clinical observation, the wound healed very well without any problem except severe swelling in the early period after operation. Slight depression was recognized at the both sides when the portions of cranial defect were palpated. 2. There were statistically significant differences between toothash-plaster mixture groups and autogenous bone added groups at the same period, and among the groups in the bone density of the digital radiograms (P<0.001). There was a tendency that bone density was increasing with time. 3. In light microscopic examination, new bone formation was more active in the autogenous bone added groups than toothash-plaster mixture groups at the early period after implantation but there is little difference at 20-week after implantation. 4. In fluorescent microscopic examination, the fluorescent band could be observed at the area of active bone formation and the band was more distinct in the autogenous bone added groups then toothash-plaster mixture groups. 5. In transmitted electron microscopic examination, organelles such as rER, Golgi complex and secretory granule and osteoblast were observed. In summary higher volume ratio of autogenous bone is needed to improve the bone healing in that there is little difference between toothash-plaster mixture group and autogenous bone added group at the 20-week after implantation in spite of new bone formation was more active in the autogenous bone added groups than toothash-plaster mixture groups at the early period after operation.

Purpose: Autogenous tooth bone graft is proven to be efficient. We evaluated the bone healing effect and clinical capabilities of autogenous tooth bone materials as a scaffold when growth factor is used together with this material. Materials and Methods: Subjects were those who needed implant placement and bone graft because of missing tooth or alveolar bone defect and who kept their autogenous tooth or needed extraction of other tooth. Group I included autogenous tooth bone graft with growth factor, whereas Group II had only autogenous tooth bone graft. We investigated the bone healing state through computed tomography taken just before surgery and 3 to 4 months after surgery to evaluate the effectiveness of bone graft. Group I had 9 patients, whereas Group II had 5 patients. We compared the pre- and post-operative increase of the Hounsfield unit and bone height by analyzing the computed tomography images. Result: Sinus bone grafts numbered 8 cases, and vertical ridge augmentation was performed together with 3 cases of these. Vertical ridge augmentation was performed in 2 cases, and horizontal ridge augmentation in 1 case alone. Socket graft was done in 3 cases. The post-operative mean value of the Hounsfield unit was 960 in Group I and 836.7 in Group II, but the increase was almost similar, i.e., 636.9 in Group I and 634.7 in Group II on the average. Increase of bone height was 7.6 mm in Group I and 11.1 mm in Group II on the average. This difference was attributable to the fact that most of the cases were sinus bone graft in Group II. Conclusion: In this study, we suggest the possibility of autogenous tooth bone graft materials as a scaffold besides their bone healing ability.

Objectives: This study sought to evaluate the efficacy of collagen graft materials, as compared to other graft materials, for use in healing calvarial defects in rabbits. Materials and Methods: Ten mm diameter calvarial defects were made in ten rabbits. The rabbits were then divided into 4 groups: control, autogenous bone graft, SureOss graft, and Teruplug graft. Bone regeneration was evaluated using histological and radiographic methods. Results: Based on visual examination, no distinct healing profile was observed. At 4 weeks after treatment, histological analysis showed there was no bone regeneration in the control group; however, at 8 weeks after treatment, new bone formation was observed around the margin of the defective sites. In the autogenous bone graft group, new bone formation was observed at 4 weeks after treatment and mature bone was detected around the grafted bone after 8 weeks. In the SureOss graft group, at 4 weeks after treatment, acute inflammatory and multinuclear cells were noted around the grafted materials; at 8 weeks after treatment, a decrease in graft materials coupled with new bone formation were observed at the defective sites. In the Teruplug graft group, new bone formation was detected surrounding the bone margin and without signs of inflammation. There were statistically significant differences observed between the graft and control group in terms of bone density as evidenced by radiographic analysis using computed tomography (P<0.05), particularly for the autogenous bone graft group (P<0.001). Conclusion: These results suggested that autogenous bone, SureOss and Teruplug have the ability to induce bone regeneration as compared to an untreated control group. The osteogenic potential of Teruplug was observed to be lower than that of autogenous bone, but similar to that of SureOss.

Micromorphometric and histological examinations were conducted with a collected tissue specimen nine months after sinus bone graft using autogenous tooth bone graft material (AutoBT). As a result of micro-computed tomographic analysis, the total bone volume (graft material+new bone) was 76.45%, and the proportion of new bone was 45.4%. The bone mineral density and the average Hounsfield Unit of new bone were 0.26 and 1,164.69, respectively. The histological examination showed that AutoBT particles were united well with new bone. AutoBT was considered to have excellent bone healing ability after sinus graft and bone density that can resist repneumatization.

The extracted right mandibular third molar of a 37-year-old man was transplanted into the first molar area, and a bone graft procedure using autogenous tooth-bone graft material was performed for the space between the root and the alveolar socket. Reattachment was achieved after 10 months. Therefore, autogenous tooth-bone graft material is considered reasonable for bone induction and healing in the autotransplantation of teeth.
