[Tetracycline tracing of artificial bone composite with high biological induction in repairing bone defect]
1Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, West China University of Medical Sciences, Chengdu 610041.
Abstract:
The tetracycline tracing method was adopted to study the new bone formation at the early stage of two different composite artificial bones (HA-bBMP-Co and HA-Co)in repairing segmental bone defect in 8 rabbits. The results indicated that from the early stage even just one week after implantation, HA-bBMP-Co acted much faster than HA-Co did in inducing new bone formation, suggesting that HA-bBMP-Co be of good quality in ferms of histo-compatibility and osteoinduction.
