Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Bioabsorbable scaffolds with superior handling characteristics for surgical applications are required, which are replaceable by autologous tissue. We constructed collagen model polypeptides comprising a poly(PHG) made by polycondensation of Pro-Hyp-Gly and porous alpha-tricalcium phosphate sponge as scaffold, by dehydrothermal crosslinking, and examined them on surgically formed canine mandibular bone defects. At 2 and 4 weeks post implantation, bone volumetric densities (VD) for the poly(PHG)/α-TCP group were higher than those for poly(PHG) and no-implant groups. Difference in VD was insignificant among the three groups 8 weeks post-implantation. Histological evaluation 4 weeks post-implantation revealed degraded poly(PHG) and newly formed bone on the α-TCP particle surfaces. At 8 weeks post-implantation, continuous cortical bone formation with Haversian structure was observed in both implant groups. Therefore, this composite can be applied in bone defect treatment.
