| Abstract | |
Some experimental studies on the bone tissue responses to cyanoacrylate can be found in the literature, although neither evaluating the histological response and the fixation of onlay bone grafts with Indermil™. The aim of the proposed study is (1) to analyze the bone grafts volume maintenance fixed to the mandible of rabbits using Indermil™ or titanium screw, as well as (2) assess the healing of onlay grafts to the recipient bed and (3) the differences of level expression of Trap protein involved in reabsortion of these bone grafts using Indermil™ or an osteosynthesis screw. Eighteen adult New Zealand White rabbits were submitted to calvaria onlay bone grafts on both sides of the mandible. On one side the onlay bone graft were fixated with Indermil™, and on the other side bone graft with an osteosynthesis screw. The wounds were then closed, and a computed tomography was realized immediately after this procedure. The animals were killed after 1 (n=9) and 6 weeks (n=9), then the animals were submitted to another computed tomography (CT). The CT images were used to estimate the bone grafts volume maintenance. Histological sections of the grafted areas were prepared to evaluate the healing of bone grafts in the receptor site and the expression level of Trap protein. The CT scan showed better volume maintenance of the bone grafts fixed with Indermil™ (p≤0.05) compared to those fixed with screws, in both the experimental times. The immunohistochemical evaluation showed that the protein Trap expression in 6-week period was significantly higher compared to the 1-week period, without showing significant difference between the groups. Histological analysis revealed that although the Indermil™ has caused the destruction of the periosteum, the stability provided by the glue allowed that the bone graft revascularization and incorporation has occurred in a similar manner to the control group. These results indicate that the Indermi™ behaved than the screw as osteosynthesys material. However, further studies are needed to investigate the toxicity of this compound when used as a means of bone fixation. (AU) | |
