Resumen de Favorable Healing Following Space Creation in rhBMP-2–Induced Periodontal Regeneration of Horizontal Circumferential Defects in Dogs with Experimental Periodontitis

Dr. Emiko Saito, Akira Saito, Masamitsu Kawanami

  • Background: Recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) is believed to be capable of inducing periodontal regeneration. However, the risk of aberrant healing events, such as root resorption and ankylosis, has been reported. We hypothesized that implantation of BMP-containing carriers directly on the root planed surface may be the cause of unfavorable healing. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of a 1 mm spacer membrane, which separated the rhBMP-2 in polymer-coated gelatin sponge (PGS) and the root surface, on periodontal regeneration of experimentally induced horizontal defects in dogs.

    Methods: Horizontal circumferential periodontal defects were surgically created, and experimental periodontitis was induced in 72 maxillary and mandibular premolars of four male beagle dogs. The recipient sites of each quadrant received: 1) rhBMP-2/PGS (B group) (rhBMP-2 at 1.0 mg/ml, total implant volume/ site ∼ 7.2 µl) (n = 24); 2) rhBMP-2/PGS with a spacer membrane (PB group) (n = 24); and 3) physiological saline (PS)/PGS as a control (P group) (n = 24). One quadrant was left untreated. Dogs were sacrificed at 12 weeks post-surgery, and healing was evaluated histologically.

    Results: Both groups treated with rhBMP-2/PGS demonstrated enhanced new bone formation and connective tissue attachment with cementum regeneration when compared to the control group. Sites treated with rhBMP-2/PGS showed a greater degree of bone formation than sites treated with rhBMP-2/PGS and spacer membrane, although the latter sites showed no ankylosis.

    Conclusions: Implantation of rhBMP-2/PGS enhances bone formation and connective tissue attachment in horizontal circumferential defects. In addition, the use of a spacer membrane reduces the degree of bone formation, but minimizes ankylosis.
