title: Osteopromotion with synthetic oligopeptide-coated bovine bone mineral in vivo.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein (rhBMP)-2 has been shown to stimulate significant regeneration of alveolar bone and cementum in periodontal defects clinically. The aim of this study was to evaluate the osteopromotive effect of oligopeptide domain-coated bovine bone mineral granules in a rabbit calvarial defect model.
  
  
  METHODS
  The peptide-coated bovine bone was fabricated by incubating the graft material in a solution of oligopeptide domain. The cell attachment and proliferation were measured in vitro. Peptide-coated (test group) or uncoated (control group) bone minerals were implanted into 10-mm calvarial defects in rabbits, and the animals were sacrificed at 1, 2, or 4 weeks post-surgery.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The cells grown with peptide-coated bone showed significantly higher proliferation activity at all times compared to cells grown with peptide-uncoated bone mineral. At 2 weeks post-surgery, the control wounds showed a limited amount of osteoid formation in a centripetal pattern around the grafted bone, but the oligopeptide domain-coated grafted bone had formed new bone around the grafted area. At 4 weeks post-surgery, the control sites showed increased new bone formation, but they still showed a significant difference from the peptide-coated bone-implanted sites.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  At 2 and 4 weeks, accelerated new bone formation was observed within the experimental sites compared to control groups. The use of deproteinized bovine bone combined with a synthetic oligopeptide seems to be a more beneficial material for bone regeneration in the early healing period.
