Figure Lengend Snippet: MicroCT analyses of regenerated bone 17 weeks after treatment on the sites of segmental defects treated with 4 osteoinductive formulations, namely, rhBMP2/ACS (Infuse), rhBMP6/ABC (Osteogrow), and 2 formulations of Osteogrow-C. (A) Bone volume (mm 3 ) of newly formed bone at the defect site among tested formulations. (B) Measurements of cortical thickness among tested formulations. (C) Residual ceramics volume (mm 3 ) among tested Osteogrow-C formulations. (D) Segmentation of ulnar bone (gray) and ceramic particles in green (TCP) and blue colors (BCP) showing the different resorption rates of ceramic particles. (E) Trabecular parameters, namely, thickness (mm), number (1/mm), and separation (mm), among experimental groups. The number of analyzed specimens was 5 or 4 per group. All P values below 0.05 were considered significant and are marked with asterisks: * P ≤ 0.05, ** P ≤ 0.01, and *** P ≤ 0.001.
Article Snippet: Implants composed of rhBMP2/ACS (group D) were prepared by uniform application of rhBMP2 solution (100 μg; Medtronic BioPharma B.V., The Netherlands) to ACS (Integra LifeSciences Corporation, NJ, USA) with dimensions of 12.7 mm × 25.4 mm × 7 mm (Fig. ).
