bone has a capability to repair itself when it is fractured. repair involves the generation of intermediatetissues, such as fibrous connective tissue, cartilage and woven bone, before final bone healing can occur. theprocess of cartilage-to-bone transition (cbt) is a key for the achievement of rigid bone healing duringfracture repair. we tested this potential for elastic cartilage using a long ...

BACKGROUND: Dental disease, trauma and maxillofacial surgeries can cause alveolar bone defects. Among different kinds of treatment, autogenous bone grafts is accepted as a golden standard. On the other hand, because of limitation of treatment with autogenous bone grafts, osteogenic cells derived from stem cells are suggested. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to compare the mean density of ...

background: recently, tissue engineering has developed approaches for repair and restoration of damaged skeletal system based on different scaffolds and cells. this study evaluated the ability of differentiated osteoblasts from adipose‑derived stem cells (adscs) seeded into hydroxyapatite/ tricalcium phosphate (ha‑tcp) to repair bone. methods: in this study, adscs of 6 canines were seeded in ha...

Background: In several conditions we have face cranial bone defects. Reconstruction of these defects remains one of the most challenging problems encountered by craniofacial surgeons. Objective: To evaluate bone repair in cranial bone defects by use of an implant made of octacalcium phosphate in combination with bone matrix gelatin (OCP/BMG). Methods: We used 40, 5–6-week-old male Sprague-Dawle...

Background & Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effect of decellularized allogeneic bone graft enriched by periosteal stem cells (PSCs) and growth factors on the bone repair process in a rabbit model, which could be used in many orthopedic procedures. Methods: In this experimental study, a critical size defect (CSD) (10 mm) was created in the ...

Objective(s):To study the effect of low-frequency vibration on bone marrow stromal cell differentiation and potential bone repair in vivo. Materials and Methods:Forty New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into five groups with eight rabbits in each group. For each group, bone defects were generated in the left humerus of four rabbits, and in the right humerus of the other four rabbits. To t...
