In Vitro Biocompatibility of a Novel Semi-Rigid Shell Barrier System: As a New Application for Guided Bone Regeneration
Overview
Affiliations
This study evaluated the in vitro biocompatibility of a novel, semi-rigid shell barrier system for guided bone regeneration (GBR) based on polycaprolactone and biphasic calcium phosphate membranes and consisting of a semi-rigid shell (SR) and two semi-resorbable barrier membranes, i.e., a buffered (BF) and an airdried (AD) membrane. In vitro biocompatibility, cell cytotoxicity, cell proliferation and differentiation were evaluated with osteoblast (MC3T3-E1) and fibroblast (L929) cells compared to the d-PTFE membrane (Cytoplast, CP). The osteoblasts and fibroblasts were well attached and proliferated on all materials from days 1, 3, and 7 without cell cytotoxicity. All groups showed that osteoblast and fibroblast cell proliferation increased from day 1 to day 14-17 and decreased on day 21. On day 21, the CP membrane presented significantly higher osteoblast cell numbers than the BF membrane and the SR shell ( = 0.000). The CP membrane presented a significantly higher amount of fibroblast cells than the other groups ( = 0.000). The SR shell and the BF membrane demonstrated higher osteoblast cell differentiation markers including ALP activity, osteocalcin, and mineral secretion than the CP and the AD membrane. The semi-rigid shell barrier system demonstrated good in vitro biocompatibility and supported osteogenic cell proliferation and differentiation better than the d-PTFE membrane.
