摘要

Purpose: This study is to evaluate the bone quality of surrounding areas of implants with bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) transplantation to rat femur, which have become osteoporosis-induced models.
Materials and Methods: The Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 3 groups: the first group where their ovaries were removed (OVX group), the second group where a sham surgery was given (SHAM group), and the third group where BMSCs were transplanted to an OVX group (OVX-BMSCs group). In the OVX-BMSCs group, 1 X 10(5) BMSCs were transplanted into femur with implant. Each value of the bone to implant contact and the bone area of each cortical bone and cancellous bone was obtained. Bone density of the width of 500 mu m from the implants was measured.
Results: Each ratio of bone to implant contact, bone area, and bone density in the OVX-BMSCs group was significantly higher than those of OVX group as to the cancellous bone.
Conclusion: The BMSCs transplantation therapy improved local bone healing in the cancellous bone surrounding implants and also significantly improved bone binding with implants. (Implant Dent 2011;20:236-245)
