    Notes: Objectives: To study in detail the performance of deproteinized cancellous bovine bone (DPBB, Bio-Osso®) granules as a bone substitute, a histomorphometric was performed on five patients treated with DPBB for reconstruction of the severely atrophic maxilla.Material and Methods: DPBB was used as mixture with autogenous bone particles, in concentrations that increased from 20% to 100% DPBB, with the time of healing increasing accordingly from 5 to 8 months. A total of 20 vertical biopsies was taken at the time of fixture installation and used for histomorphometry as undecalcified Goldner stained sections.Results: The results show that in all cases, the DPBB granules had been interconnected by bridges of vital newly formed bone. The volume of bone in the grafted area correlated inversely with the concentration of DPBB grafted, and varied between 37% and 23%. However, the total volume of mineralized material (bone plus DPI3B granules) remained within the same range in all five patients (between 53% and 59%). The high values for osteoid and resorption surface, and the presence of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase-positive multinucleated osteoclasts in resorption lacunae, indicated that bone remodeling was very active in all grafts. Osteoclasts were also observed in shallow resorption pits on DPBB surfaces. The percentage DPBB surface in contact with bone remained stable at about 35% and could not be related to the proportion of DPBB grafted.Conclusion: Although the number of patients examined was limited, the data suggest that deproteinized cancellous bovine bone, preferably combined with autogenous bone particles, is a suitable material for sinus floor elevation in the severely atrophic human maxilla.

    Notes: Abstract. Endochondral ossification in the epiphyseal growth plate of long bones is associated with programmed cell death (PCD) of a major portion of the chondrocytes. Here we tested the hypothesis that at the ossification front of the epiphyseal growth plate osteoclasts preferentially phagocytose chondrocytes that are undergoing PCD. We injected biotin-labelled annexin-V (anx-V-biotin, an early marker of PCD) intravenously in young adult mice. After 30 min of labelling, long bones were recovered and the tissue distribution examined of anx-V-biotin-labelled cells in the growth plate using ABC-peroxidase histochemistry. Positive staining for anx-V-biotin was detected in hypertrophic chondrocytes still present in closed lacunae at some distance from the ossification front. At the ossification front, chondrocyte lacunae were opened and close contacts were seen between tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase-positive osteoclasts and hypertrophic cartilage cells. Osteoclasts were significantly more frequently in contact with anx-V-biotin-labelled chondrocytes than with unlabelled chondrocytes. Osteoclasts also contained labelled and unlabelled phagocytic fragments within their cytoplasm. We conclude that in the growth plate osteoclasts preferentially phagocytose hypertrophic chondrocytes that are dying, suggesting these dying cells may signal osteoclasts for their removal.

    Notes: Abstract. Amelogenins are a group of related matrix proteins, synthesised and secreted by ameloblasts during the formation of dental enamel. We have examined expression patterns and the tissue distribution of amelogenins by in situ hybridisation and by immunohistochemistry of developing teeth of embryonic (E12–E15) and neonatal (1- to 4-day-old) golden hamsters. Amelogenin expression and (intracellular) immunostaining for amelogenins were first observed in late embryonic stages in E14 incisors and E15 first molars in partially polarised pre-ameloblasts located along a thin layer of predentine before any overt deposition of enamel. Expression of mRNA and protein staining for amelogenins increased with age and early pre-dentine became immunopositive. The highest mRNA levels and substantial immunostaining for amelogenins were noted in neonatal-stage secretory ameloblasts fully engaged in enamel matrix deposition. After completion of the secretory phase, amelogenin gene expression continued at a lower level in post-secretory stages and was seen in transition-phase and maturation-phase ameloblasts. No amelogenin transcripts were observed in odontoblasts at any stage of their development. However, young odontoblasts stained weakly with anti-amelogenin antibodies before they formed the first layer of dentine, although this staining disappeared in odontoblasts at later stages of development. We conclude that amelogenin gene transcription occurs as early as the polarisation stage of pre-ameloblasts and is closely followed by translation of mRNA into amelogenin proteins. Odontoblasts do not transcribe the amelogenin gene and probably endocytose and digest amelogenins from the pre-dentine. Amelogenins are also transcribed but at a low level in post-secretory stages of amelogenesis.

    Effect of adriamycin on hamster molar tooth development in vitro: 1. Morphological changes (1989)

    Notes: The effect of adriamycin (1 mg/liter) on the development of the golden hamster 3-day-old second maxillary molars (M2) was investigated in vitro. Exposure of the molars to 1 mg/liter adriamycin during the first 2 hours of culture produced smaller teeth 3-7 days later, as determined by measurements of dry weights and by histological observations. Higher doses caused severe necrosis. The more differentiated pulp fibroblasts showed osteodentin formation 3 days after treatment with adriamycin (1 mg/liter), while the more immature ones underwent necrosis. The phenotypic changes brought on by the drug were permanent, and osteodentin continued to be formed throughout the course of this study. In addition the cervical loop region was inhibited from growing, while the production of the matrices of enamel and dentin appeared to be increased at 3 and 5 days after treatment. Electron microscopy of the forming osteodentin matrix revealed a random arrangement of banded collagen fibers during the early stage of osteodentin formation. As more matrix was formed, the collagen became quite compact and appeared quite similar to dentin. Finally, matrix vesicles were found among the collagenous matrix that was not yet mineralized. With the exception of the increased production of enamel and dentin, these in vitro results confirmed those earlier in vivo studies on the effect of adriamycin on rat incisor tooth.
