Bone Grafts

Bone graft are materials used to facilitate bone formation.

Biologic mechanism that supports the use of bone graft materials :

Osteogenesis

Osteoinduction

Osteoconduction

3 of 44

Osteogenesis –

Formation of new bone which is contributed by the

vital osteoblasts originating from the bone graft material

4 of 44

Osteoinduction

stimulate osteoprogenitor cells to differentiate into osteoblasts that then begin a new bone formation.

5 of 44

Osteoconduction

Scaffold/ fillers- allow the ingrowth of capilliaries,

perivascular tissue and osteoprogenitor cells of the

host into the graft.

Types of Bone Grafts

Autografts – defined as tissues transplanted

from one site to another within the same individual.

Allografts – defined as tissue graft between individuals of same species (i.e humans)

Xenografts – defined as tissue graft between different species (i.e bone from other animal origin)

Alloplast – usually includes any synthetically derived graft material not (coming) from any animal or human origin

Ideal requirements of bone graft:

Biologic acceptability

Predictability

Clinical feasibility

Minimal operative hazards

Minimal postoperative squeal

Patient acceptance

damaging the roots

Bone removed during osteoplasty and ostectomy

Graft Procurement………..

Bone Trap

Trephine Bur

Bone Shaving Device

Suction Trap

13 of 44

Sources of cortical graft material :

Lingual ridge on the mandible

Exostoses

Edentulous ridges

Bone distal to a terminal tooth

Bone removed by osteoplasty or ostectomy

Mandible or maxilla at least 5 mm from the roots.

Intraoral Cortical Bone

14 of 44

Cortical Bone Chips

  1. Shavings of cortical bone removed during osteoplasty & ostectomy

2 Large particle size

3. Potential for sequestration

15 of 44

Osseous Coagulum

1. Mixture of bone dust and blood

2. Small particles ground from cortical bone

16 of 44

Bone Blend.

uses an autoclaved plastic capsule and pestle

Bone is removed from a predetermined site

Triturated in the capsule to a workable plastic like

Mass

Packed into bony defects.

17 of 44

Intraoral Cancellous Bone Marrow Transplants.

Cancellous bone can be obtained from :

- Maxillary tuberosity

- Edentulous areas

- Healing sockets.

18 of 44

Maxillary tuberosity :

Good amount of cancellous bone

Ridge incision is made distally from the last molar

Bone is removed with a curved and cutting rongeur.

19 of 44

Edentulous ridges :

Approached with a flap

Cancellous bone and marrow are removed with curettes

20 of 44

Healing sockets :

Allowed to heal for 8 to 12 weeks

The apical portion is used as donor material

21 of 44

Bone Swaging

Edentulous area adjacent to the defect must be present

Bone is pushed into contact with the root surface without

fracturing the bone at its base

Bone swaging is technically difficult, and its usefulness is

limited.

BONE GRAFT FROM THE ILIAC CREST

Indication

  • When a large amount of graft

material is needed

  • Provides sufficient amount of

cortical as well cancellous

bone.

BONE FROM EXTRAORAL SITES

23 of 44

  1. Root resorption

  • Post operative infections

  • Tooth loss & sequestration

  • Varying rates of healing

  • Rapid recurrence of defects

  • Difficulties in procuring the graft material

No longer in use owing to some

problems such as

24 of 44

Tibial grafts

Indication

When mostly cancellous bone is required.

Healing Of Autografts

7 days - Initiation of new bone

formation

21 days - Cementogenesis

3 months – New PDL

8 months - Graft fully incorporated

into the host with

functionally oriented fibers

between the bone and

the cementum

Maturation may take as long as 2 years

Autografts ……..

Advantages

1. Promotes osteogenesis

2. Risk of disease transfer

avoided

3. Easily procured

Disadvantages

1. Inadequate material

2. Not comfort with

hospitilization

3. Inflicting surgical trauma in

other parts of the body

Allografts

28 of 44

Allografts

  1. They are obtained from cortical bone within 12 hours of the death of the donor

  1. They are cut into pieces , washed in absolute alcohol , defatted & deep frozen

  1. Radiation , freezing and chemical treatment - suppress the antegenic potential

29 of 44

Allografts

  1. Material are demineralized and grounded to a particle size of about 250 to 750 μm and freeze dried

5. Finally , it is vaccum sealed in glass vials and stored in tissue banks

30 of 44

Types of Allografts:

Frozen Illiac Cancellous Bone and Marrow

Freeze-dried bone allografts (FDBAs)

Demineralized freeze-dried bone allografts (DFDBA)

Irradiated cancellous bone allografts (ICBA)

Allografts

31 of 44

Frozen Illiac Cancellous Bone and Marrow

Possibility of

- Disease transfer

- Antigenicity

- The need for extensive cross matching

These precluded the use of frozen illiac allografts in modern

periodontics

32 of 44

Freeze-dried bone allografts (FDBAs)

The graft is dried at low temperature (lyophilized)

without any liquid phase in the whole process.

Demineralized freeze-dried bone allografts (DFDBA)

The mineral phase of the FDBA is removed, exposing the collagen

and the BMP.

Regenerate bone by osteoinduction and osteoconduction

To induce new bone formation, this bone has to contain sufficient

Quantities of BMP’s.

Disadvantages

  • Risk of graft rejection
  • infection
  • Non-union
  • Risk of rapid resorption

Xenografts are obtained from a species other than the

host species.

Cattle bone, coral and products of algae.

Natural hydroxyapatite

Deorganified bovine bone.

Xenografts

35 of 44

Natural hydroxyapatite

Synthesized from the calcium carbonate (CaCO3) skeleton of coral.

Three-dimensional microstructure of natural bone with average pore sizes of 200µ.

The material is highly biocompatible and bonds readily to adjacent hard and soft tissues.

Eg. - Interpore 200

36 of 44

Deorganified bovine bone

Is an inorganic bone of bovine origin.

Eg

Osteograft

Bio-Oss

Most physiological bone substitute; it becomes completely

incorporated and integrated into the human bone after remodeling

37 of 44

Disadvantages of deorganified bovine bone grafts

(besides their bovine origin) are-

Increased risk of a host immune response

Brittleness

Recommendation to be combined with autogenous bone

Mandatory use of GTR membranes with it.

There are three main groups of alloplasts:

  1. Ceramics

(synthetic hydroxyapatite, tricalciumphosphate,

Bioactive glass)

2. Calcium carbonate

3. Composite polymers (resorbable and nonresorbable)

Alloplasts

39 of 44

CERAMICS

Synthetic Hydroxyapatite (HA)

Biocompatible and bonds readily to adjacent hard and soft tissues

Calcium to phosphorus ratio of 10:6

Ex. Calcitite (dense, nonresorbable particulates)

Osteograft

Osteogen

40 of 44

Tricalcium Phosphate (TCP)

Chemically similar to HA

calcium to phosphorus ratio of 3:2

Depending on the sintering temperature

Alpha (α) (1180°C) TCP resorbs very slowly

Ex. Biovision

beta (β) –phase 900°C

beta (β) TCP replaced by natural bone in 8- 12 months

Eg -Augmen®, Synthograf®, and Cerasorb®

41 of 44

Bioactive Glass

  • Mixture of calcium salts and phosphate (in the same

proportions as in bone and teeth), sodium salts, and silicon.

  • Sizes of the granules vary between 90 and 710 µ,

with an average of 300-355 µ

  • Bonds to bone by forming a hydroxycarbonate apatite (HCA)

layer

COMPOSITE POLYMERS

Resorbable

  • Composed of either Polylactic or Polyglycolic acid

  • High molecular weight -breakdown time of up to three years.

  • Low-density copolymer -breakdown time three or four months.

  • Available in three different forms (powder, sponge, and gel)
