AIM
To evaluate the effect of a local single injection of amino-terminally truncated recombinant human fibroblast growth factor-4 (rhFGF-4s) on titanium implant incorporation in a rabbit bone.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
Thirty-six threaded titanium implants were inserted into the femur and tibia of six rabbits. Three weeks prior to implant insertion 10 microg of FGF-4 in an altelocollagen carrier or the carrier alone was injected into the intended implant sites. Biomechanical evaluation by (i) resonance frequency analysis and (ii) peak removal torque measurements was performed after 6 weeks. The implants with surrounding tissue were processed to undecalcified ground sections followed by light-microscopic quantifications of the bone in threaded area and the apical parts of the implants.
RESULTS
A general trend, however not statistically significant, with higher mean values obtained in the above-mentioned tests was found. The FGF-4-treated implants revealed a significantly increased bone area in the apical part of the implants compared to the corresponding control implants.
CONCLUSION
A local single injection of rhFGF-4 may stimulate bone formation around titanium implants in bone. However, further research is required to confirm these results, understand the mechanisms of FGF, and establish optimal dose and delivery methods.
