Self-Prepared Hyaluronic Acid/Alkaline Gelatin Composite with Nano-Hydroxyapatite and Bone Morphogenetic Protein for Cranial Bone Formation

New bone-forming substitute materials are highly useful in dental implantology. The purpose of this study was to prepare cross-linked hyaluronic acid (cHLA)/cross-linked alkaline gelatin (cAG)/nano-hydroxyapatite (nHAp)/bone morphogenic protein (BMP) constructs; and evaluate their bone-forming capab...

description New bone-forming substitute materials are highly useful in dental implantology. The purpose of this study was to prepare cross-linked hyaluronic acid (cHLA)/cross-linked alkaline gelatin (cAG)/nano-hydroxyapatite (nHAp)/bone morphogenic protein (BMP) constructs; and evaluate their bone-forming capabilities in rat cranial bone defects. The cHLA and cAG liquids processed with an epoxy cross-linker were blended with a 3:1 volume ratio, followed by freeze-drying. The dry composites were further infiltrated with water containing nHAp only (BMP (−)) or with water containing nHAp and BMP (BMP (+)). Prepared wet constructs (BMP (−) and BMP (+)) were implanted in rat cranial bone defects, while defects only were also made, and animals were fed for 8 weeks, followed by subsequent soft X-ray measurements and histological observations. The X-ray results showed that BMP (+) constructs disappeared, though caused inward extension of peripherical bone from defect edges with an increase in length of approximately 24%, larger than those of BMP (−) constructs and defect only with approximately 17% and 8% increments, respectively (<i>p</i> < 0.05). Histological observations of BMP (+) construct samples clearly indicated active bone extension consisting of an array of island-like bones. It was concluded that cHLA/cAG/nHAp/BMP could be used as novel bone-substitute materials.
