| Research Abstract |
Purpose :
Transport distraction osteogenesis, a kind of bone lengthening, has been used to reconstruct missing bones and soft tissues in a segmental deformity. We investigated the applicability of this technique to the arthroplasty of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) with an internal distraction appliance.
Nitric oxide is a principal regulator of bone remodeling systems. We also investigated the effects of nitric oxide on bone formation.
Materials and Methods :
1. The transport disc of the rabbits was advanced 0.9 mm per day for 14 days. After the completion of the lengthening, the rabbits were sacrificed at intervals.
2. The osteoblastic and osteoclastic activities were measured after stimulation by free radical donors, cytokines or growth factors.
Results :
1. More than 8 weeks after the completion of lengthening, the mature cortical bone was reconstructed. A collagenous structure like a cap was formed over the leading edge. This cap may substitute for an articular disc. The new bone has remodeled and resembled the condylar head.
2. Nitric oxide has the bone forming- and bone resorbing- effects.
Conclusion : The bone transport technique is promising for the reconstruction of TMJ.Nitric oxide regulates the bone remodeling system.
