Angiogenesis in newly augmented bone observed in rabbit calvarium using a titanium cap.

Objectives: In our previous work using a rabbit experimental model, we identified the importance of using a rigid support device for augmenting the development of mineralized bone. In the early stage of healing, newly generated tissue has not filled occlusive spaces, and mineralized bone forms and tends to climb along the inner wall of a device. Even though the blood supply is critical for successful bone augmentation, few studies have been conducted on angiogenesis in augmented bone.

Article Synopsis
- - The study examined how ipriflavone (IP) affects bone regeneration using a guided bone regeneration (GBR) procedure in rabbits, divided into three groups based on IP intake: No-IP, Post-IP, and Pre-IP.
- - After three months, results showed that the absorption of newly generated bone tissue was significantly lower in the Pre-IP and Post-IP groups compared to the No-IP group, indicating that IP helps in maintaining bone mass.
- - It was concluded that taking IP daily, whether before or after GBR, could reduce tissue resorption and improve the quality of bone growth, though the findings are based on this specific rabbit model.
Objective: This study evaluated new bone regeneration beyond the skeletal envelope within an occlusive titanium cap on rabbit calvaria using microfocus computed tomography images.
Methods: In 10 rabbits, the calvaria was exposed and a circular groove was prepared. After penetrating the marrow, a standard hemispherical titanium cap was placed in the groove and covered with a cutaneous flap.
