Descrição
Resumo:The aim of this study was to characterize and evaluate zirconia/hydroxyapatite in a critical size calvarial defect model in rats. Zirconia/hydroxyapatite (80/20) scaffold was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Critical size (8 mm) calvarial defects were created in wistar rats (n=48) and divided into four groups (90 days): G0 Group: positive control; G1 Group: hydroxyapatite; G2 Group: Zirconia; G3 Group: Zirconia/hydroxyapatite (80/20). Calvaria were subjected to Micro CT, histological and immunohistochemical analyses (RANK, RANKL, OPG, osteocalcin and FGF-2). IL-1 beta, IL-10 and TNF-alpha levels were analyzed by Elisa Immunoassay. The XRD analysis confirmed the formation of a crystalline structure and SEM showed the presence of regions corresponding to Zirconia and Hydroxyapatite. The Micro CT showed increased bone volume (BV/TV) and bone mineral density (BMD) in the G3 group (P<0.05). In addition, discrete periosteal bone formation was found at the interface of the defect edge and the external surface of the scaffold in the G3 group, showing osteocytes inside and osteoblasts (P<0.05) with scarce mononuclear inflammatory cells (P<0.01) in the central region of the defect. The immunostaining was moderate for RANKL, Osteocalcin and FGF-2 in the G3 group (P<0.5), while it was intense for OPG (P<0.001). IL-1 beta levels were decreased and IL-10 levels increased (P<0.05). Zirconia/hydroxyapatite (80/20) scaffold repair in critical size calvarial defects increased bone density, osteoblast and osteoclast cell numbers, FGF-2, osteocalcin and OPG immunostaining and IL-10 levels
