Craniomaxillofacial bone defects represent a clinical challenge in the fields of maxillofacial surgery and (implant) dentistry. Regeneration of these bone defects requires the application of bone graft materials that facilitate new bone formation in a safe, reliable, and predictive manner. In addition to autologous bone graft, several types of (synthetic) bone substitute materials have become clinically available, and still major efforts are focused on improving such bone substitute materials by optimizing their properties. Given the regulatory necessity to evaluate the performance of new bone substitute materials for craniomaxillofacial bone regeneration in a large animal model with similarity to human bone before clinical application, we here describe a mini-pig mandibular bone defect model that allows for the creation of multiple (critical-size) bone defects within the mandibular body of a single animal. As examples of bone substitute materials, we utilize both the clinically used BioOss granules and an experimental calcium phosphate cement for filling the created defects. Regarding the latter, its advantages are the injectable application within the defect site, in which the material rapidly sets, and the tailorable degradation properties via the inclusion of hydrolytically degrading polymeric particles. For both bone substitute materials, we show the suitability of the bone defect model to assess bone regeneration via histology and micro-computed tomography. Impact statement Given the regulatory necessity to evaluate the performance of new bone substitute materials for craniomaxillofacial bone regeneration in a large animal model with similarity to the human bone before clinical application, we here describe a mini-pig mandibular bone defect model that allows for the creation of multiple (critical-size) bone defects within the mandibular body of a single animal that can be used for the evaluation of the bone regenerative capacity of new bone grafting materials as well as tissue-engineered products for alveolar bone regeneration. |
