Identical bone defects were made in the canine mandible; six defects in each animal were filled with porous α-TCP with bFGF bound via heparin (bFGF group), whereas the other was filled with unmodified porous α-TCP (control group). Micro-computed tomography and histological evaluation were performed 2, 4, and 8 weeks after implantation. The bone mineral density of the bFGF group was higher than that of the control group at each time point (P < 0.05), and the bone mineral content of the bFGF group was higher than that of the control group at 4 and 8 weeks (P < 0.05). Histological evaluation 2 weeks after implantation revealed that the porous -TCP had degraded and bone had formed on the surface of -TCP particles in the bFGF group. At 8 weeks, continuous cortical bone with a Haversian structure covered the top of bone defects in the bFGF group. These findings demonstrate that porous -TCP with immobilized bFGF can promote bone regeneration.}, school = {大阪歯科大学}, title = {Porous Alpha-Tricalcium Phosphate with Immobilized Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor Enhances Bone Regeneration in a Canine Mandibular Bone Defect Model}, year = {}, yomi = {こばやし, のぶひろ} }
