SEM was also employed to compare the allograft surfaces to that of human bone exposed by in vitro osteoclastic resorption. The allografts were seeded with hBMSCs, and the number of adhered cells was assessed at 3 and 7 days. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity was quantified as a measure of osteogenic differentiation after 21 days. <b>Results:</b> Marked differences were seen between the physicochemical characteristics of the solvent-dehydrated and freeze-dried allografts, as well as between their resulting bone microarchitectures and that of osteoclast-resorbed human bone. Increased hBMSC adhesion and differentiation were observed on the solvent-dehydrated allografts compared to freeze-dried allografts, which suggests a higher putative osteogenic potential. The latter was attributed to better preservation of the bone collagen microarchitecture integrity, which may provide not only a more complex substrate architecture, but also a more favorable microenvironment to allow nutrients and oxygen to flow to the adhered cells. <b>Conclusion:</b> Commercially available cancellous bone allografts significantly differ in their physicochemical characteristics, stemming from differences in tissue processing and sterilization methods undertaken by tissue banks. These differences impact the response of MSCs in vitro and may alter the biologic performance of the grafts in vivo. Therefore, it is important to consider these characteristics when choosing a bone substitute for clinical application, as the physicochemical properties of the grafts play a crucial role in their interactions with the biologic environment and subsequent incorporation into the native bone.</p>","PeriodicalId":50298,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Oral & Maxillofacial Implants","volume":"38 1","pages":"169-180"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9349282","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Skin reaction according to Holgers (SRH), probing depth (PD) , and sulcus fluid flow rate (SFFR), as well as patient-specific data, such as age, sex, smoking and irradiation status, cleaning agent and frequency, defect etiology, implant system, implant location, time span since implantation, and type of retention, were assessed and statistically analyzed via mixed-model calculations.

There were 18 patients (52 implants, 46.8%) who had received radiotherapy. Mean inflammation levels were low.
