The influence of fibrin sealant on demineralized bone matrix-dependent osteoinduction. A quantitative and qualitative study in rats.
Allogeneic demineralized bone matrix (DBM) and bone matrix gelatin (BMG) were implanted with or without fibrin sealant (FS) ectopically (abdominal wall) and orthotopically (7-mm trepanation defect) in 38 male Sprague-Dawley rats. Evaluation was done by descriptive histology, histomorphometry of orthotopic implants, and determination of alkaline phosphatase in ectopic implants. The observation period was 21 days with ectopic implantation and 26 days with orthotopic implantation. In all ectopic specimens, new bone developed without any qualitative difference between specimens with and without FS. The alkaline phosphatase activity did not change significantly upon addition of FS. Morphometry revealed slight differences between the groups with and without FS. The peripheral bone deposits in the BMG + FS group, was significantly larger than in the BMG group. These investigations demonstrated neither a clearly positive nor negative effect of FS on ectopic osteoinduction or BMG-dependent osteoregeneration.
