Abstract
Mandibular defects, caused by congenital, pathological or iatrogenic insults, can significantly affect patient quality of life. The reconstruction of mandible has recently gained the interest of clinical and tissue engineering researchers. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of three-dimensional (3-D) cultured autologous grafts prepared using bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) combined with demineralized bone matrix (DBM) scaffolds for the restoration of mandibular defects. Cylindrical defects were created in the mandibular body of minipigs and filled with 3D-cultured BMSCs/DBM autografts, 2D-cultured BMSCs/DBM autografts, DBM material (without cells), or were left unfilled (blank). Using computed tomographic (CT) imaging and histological staining, we found that treatment of mandibular defects using 3-D cultured BMSCs/DBM autografts offered improvements in bone formation over both 2-D cultured autografts and cell-free DBM scaffolds. We found increased osteoid formation in 3D and 2D cultures, with more osteogenic cells present in the 3D constructs. We suggest that 3-D cultured homograft BMSCs combined with DBM scaffolds represents a new strategy for bone reconstruction, with potential futu...Continue Reading
