Popis: The response of bone cells to a newly developed porous beta-tricalcium phosphate composed of rod-shaped particles (RSbeta-TCP), beta-TCP composed of conventional non-rod-shaped particles (Cbeta-TCP), and hydroxyapatite (HA) was analyzed using in vivo implantation and in vitro osteoclastogenesis systems. Implantation of the materials into the rabbit femur showed that RSbeta-TCP and Cbeta-TCP were bioresorbable, but HA was not. Up to 12 weeks after the implantation, bioresorption of RSbeta-TCP and Cbeta-TCP accompanied by the formation of new bone occurred satisfactorily. At 24 weeks post-implantation, most of the RSbeta-TCP had been absorbed, and active osteogenesis was preserved in the region. However, in the specimens implanted with Cbeta-TCP, the amount of not only the implanted Cbeta-TCP but also the newly formed bone tissue decreased, and bone marrow dominated the region. The implanted HA was unbioresorbable throughout the experimental period. When osteoclasts were generated on RSbeta-TCP, Cbeta-TCP, or HA disks, apparent resorption lacunae were formed on the RSbeta-TCP and Cbeta-TCP, but not HA disks. Quantitation of the calcium concentration in the culture media showed an earlier and more constant release of calcium from RSbeta-TCP than Cbeta-TCP. These results showed that the microstructure of beta-TCP affects the activity of bone cells and subsequent bone replacement.
