Background/purpose: Bone morphogenetic protein-9 (BMP-9) has demonstrated multiple advantages in promoting osteogenesis. Our previous findings have indicated that the use of an absorbable collagen membrane (ACM) as a carrier for growth factors is effective in stimulating bone regeneration. The objective of this study was to assess the synergistic impact of BMP-9 incorporated into ACM (ACM/BMP-9) on bone formation within rat mandibular bone defects. Materials and methods: Circular bone defects of critical size were surgically induced on both sides of the rat mandibular bone, with subsequent random allocation into distinct groups: control, ACM alone, and ACM loaded with low (0.5 μg) or high (2.0 μg) concentrations of BMP-9. We conducted real-time in vivo micro-computerized tomography scans at the baseline and at 2, 4, and 6 weeks, and measured the volume of newly formed bone (NFB), bone mineral density (BMD) of NFB, and the closure percentage of the NFB area. Histological and histomorphometric analyses were performed at 6 weeks. Results: Real-time assessment revealed notably higher levels of bone volume, BMD, and closure percentage in the NFB area for the groups treated with ACM/BMP-9 compared to the control and ACM groups. Within the high concentration of BMP-9 group, the volume and BMD of NFB exhibited a significant increase at 6 weeks compared to baseline. Histological examination confirmed the existence of osteoblasts, osteocytes, and blood vessels within the NFB. Conclusion: Considering the limitations of this research, the real-time evaluation finding indicates that ACM/BMP-9 effectively promotes bone formation in critical-size mandibular defects in rats. |
