- Abstract
- Purpose: Collagen has long been recognized as an excellent carrier for growth factors, and membrane-type collagen has been widely applied in dentistry for guided bone regeneration. This study was conducted to examine the effects of an activin A/BMP2 chimera (AB204) combined with a collagen membrane (CM) on bone repair in a rat calvarial defect model. Methods: A unilateral calvarial defect measuring 5.0 mm was surgically created in 32 Sprague-Dawley rats. The rats were then randomly assigned to 1 of 4 groups, each consisting of 8 animals: control (untreated), CM (treated with a CM only), CM/bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2) (treated with a CM and 1.0 μg of BMP2), and CM/AB204 (treated with a CM and 1.0 μg of AB204). Bone regeneration was evaluated using micro-computed tomography (CT) and histological analysis at 2 and 4 weeks following surgery. Results: Micro-CT analysis revealed that bone formation in the CM/BMP2 and CM/AB204 groups was superior to that observed in the control and CM groups at both 2 and 4 weeks postoperatively. BMP2 induced greater bone regeneration than AB204 at 2 weeks; however, AB204 resulted in a greater bone volume at 4 weeks, achieving the highest values recorded. No significant differences were found between the CM/BMP2 and CM/AB204 groups at either time point (P>0.05). On histological examination, new bone formation was evident in both CM/BMP2 and CM/AB204 groups. Conclusions: Within the limitations of this study, the findings indicate that AB204 may enhance osteogenic potential when used in combination with CM for bone regeneration.
