Evaluation of a New Porcine Bone Graft on the Repair of Surgically Created Critical Bone Defects in Rat Calvaria: Histomorphometric and Microtomographic Study

The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of a new porcine bone graft in rat calvaria bone defects. Critical defects were surgically created in 24 rats that were divided into four experimental groups according to defect filling (<i>n</i> = 6): Control Group (CG)—blood clot; Porcine B...

description The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of a new porcine bone graft in rat calvaria bone defects. Critical defects were surgically created in 24 rats that were divided into four experimental groups according to defect filling (<i>n</i> = 6): Control Group (CG)—blood clot; Porcine Bone Group (PG)—porcine-derived bone substitute; (BG): Bio-Oss Group (BG)–chemically and heat-treated bovine graft; Bonefill Group (BFG)—chemically treated bovine bone substitute. Euthanasia of the animals occurred 30 days after the surgery, and the area of the original surgical defect and the surrounding tissues were removed for micro-CT and histomorphometric analysis. In the micro-CT evaluation, the PG presented statistically significant differences (<i>p</i> < 0.05) in comparison to the CG, BG and BFG, for the parameters percentage of Bone Volume (BV/TV), Surface Bone Density (BS/TV), Number of Trabeculae (Tb.N) and Bone Connectivity (Conn), but not for Total Porosity (Po.tot) and Trabecular Thickness (Tb.Th). The histomorphometric analysis showed that the PG presented similar results to the BG regarding newly formed bone extension and to the BG and BFG regarding newly formed bone area. The porcine-derived graft presented superior microtomographic and histomorphometric results when compared to the two bovine bone substitutes.
