    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To repair segmental mandibular defects with autogenous bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) and coralline hydroxyapatite. METHODS: Isolated BMSCs were in vitro expanded and osteogenically induced. In 11 canines, a 3 cm segmental mandibular defect in right mandible was created. Five canine's defects were repaired with cell-scaffold constructs made from induced BMSCs and coralline hydroxyapatite (CHA); Others were repaired with CHA as control. The engineered bone was evaluated by X-ray, CT, gross and histological examination, biomechanical test 12, 26, 32 weeks post-operation respectively. RESULTS: BMSCs grew well on the CHA. X-ray and CT images showed better callus formation at connection sites in experimental group over time while worse formation at connection sites eventually in control group. At 32 weeks post-operation in experimental group, the defects were well repaired grossly. Histologically, there were bony healing and lamellar bone formation, in experimental group fibrous healing and woven bone formation in control group. Biomechanical test revealed no significant difference between experimental group and normal control group. CONCLUSIONS: Canine segmental mandibular defects can be ultimately repaired with the tissue-engineered bone generated by autogenous osteogenic BMSCs and CHA scaffold.
