Abstract
- Abstract: Objectives: Collagen membranes are not limited to be occlusive barriers as they actively support bone regeneration. However, the impact of bone‐derived growth factors on their osteoconductive competence has not been examined. Methods: Twenty adult Sprague Dawley rats were included in the study. Calvaria defects with a diameter of five millimeter were created. The defect was covered with one layer of a collagen membrane previously soaked in conditioned medium of porcine bone chips or in culture medium alone. After 4 weeks, microcomputed tomography was performed. Undecalcified thin‐ground sections were subjected to light and scanning electron microscopy. Primary outcome parameter was the bone volume in the defect. Unit of analysis was the bone‐conditioned medium (BCM). Results: In the central defect area of the control and the BCM group, median new bone connected to the host bone was 0.54 and 0.32 mm³, respectively (<italic>p</italic> = .10). In the ectocranial defect area, the control group showed significantly more bone than the BCM group (0.90 and 0.26 mm³; <italic>p</italic> = .02). Based on an exploratory interpretation, the control group had smaller bony islands than the BCM group. Scanning electron microscopy and histology indicate the formation of bone but also the collagen membrane to be mineralized in the defect site. Conclusions: These results demonstrate that the commercial collagen membrane holds an osteoconductive competence in a rat calvaria defect model. Soaking collagen membranes with BCM shifts bone formation toward the formation of bony islands rather than new bone connected to the host bone. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
