This study was designed to characterize the development of oral structures in the BR-1 minipig and to compare these data with literature reports on domestic swine and other minipig lineages. Twelve male minipigs were anesthetized and given physical and radiographic examinations. The presence and chronology of tooth eruption from 3 to 15 months of age were assessed, and the radiographic results were interpreted by two certified researchers, who obtained a high index of agreement (kappa>0.81). The eruption chronology was similar to that reported for domestic swine and other minipig lineages. The results indicate that it is possible to use the BR-1 minipig in dental research.

Treatment of dehiscence-type defects with collagen matrix and/or enamel matrix derivative: Histomorphometric study in minipigs.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate, histomorphometrically, the use of collagen matrix (CM) and/or enamel matrix derivative (EMD) for the treatment of dehiscence-type recession defects in minipigs.
Methods: Eight healthy, male, young BR-1 minipigs, with no periodontal disease were treated. Bilateral dehiscence-type defects were surgically created on the buccal of the mandibular premolars (PI and PII).
Development of a Novel Large Animal Model to Evaluate Human Dental Pulp Stem Cells for Articular Cartilage Treatment.

Purpose: Chondral lesion is a pathology with high prevalence, reaching as much as 63% of general population and 36% among athletes. The ability of human Dental Pulp Stem Cells (DPSCs) to differentiate into chondroblasts in vitro suggests that this stem cell type may be useful for tissue bioengineering. However, we have yet to identify a study of large animal models in which DPSCs were used to repair articular cartilage.

Techniques were developed to obtain standardised intra- and extra-oral radiographs in minipigs for use in medical-dental research. Twelve male minipigs (BR-1 Minipigs) were chosen at random. Two animals each at 3, 5, 7, 9, 12 and 15 months of age were anaesthetised and subjected to radiographic examinations to assess six techniques.
