Area of Science:

Biomaterials Science
Dental Research
Animal Models

Background:

Preclinical dental research relies on animal models, with pigs being anatomically similar to humans.
A knowledge gap exists regarding the multiscale properties of minipig jawbones for implant studies.
Understanding these properties is vital for comparing animal models to human tissues.

Purpose of the Study:

To establish a multimodal framework for assessing minipig jawbone quantity and quality.
To investigate the morphological, compositional, and mechanical properties of three minipig genotypes.
To correlate global and local bone properties with mineralization and mechanical performance.

Main Methods:

Utilized micro-computed tomography (micro-CT), Raman spectroscopy, and nanoindentation for global analysis.
Developed a femtosecond laser ablation protocol for high-throughput micropillar fabrication and testing.
Employed site-matched Raman spectroscopy and micropillar compression for local mineral-mechanical relationships.

Main Results:

Significant differences in relative bone mineralization were found between minipig genotypes, not evident with micro-CT alone.
Bone hardness positively correlated with relative mineralization.
Local analysis revealed genotype-specific differences in yield stress and mineral to matrix ratios within osteonal regions.

Conclusions:

The developed multimodal framework effectively characterizes minipig jawbone properties at both global and local scales.
Findings highlight genotype-dependent variations in bone mineralization and mechanical characteristics.
The study provides a foundation for improved animal models in dental research and potential clinical applications.
