Abstract: An hydrated putty was prepared by mixing submicron particles, rounded particles and granules of Biphasic Calcium Phosphate (BCP) ceramics composed of HA and β-TCP phases. The material filled entirely critical sized defects in the femoral epiphysis of NZW rabbits. After 3, 6 and 12 weeks, histology revealed that submicron particles were rapidly degraded by multinucleated TRAP-positive cells. This osteoclastic resorption stimulated bone ingrowth while the large BCP particles served as scaffold supporting bone healing by osteoconduction.

Abstract: Current resorbable membranes are generally from animal origin, like collagen, and are largely used in dentistry or orthopaedic for TGR (Tissue Guided Regeneration), in neurosurgery for Dura matter healing and others. Calcium alginates are generally used for wound dressing (external uses). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the osteogenic property of meshes realized with calcium alginate fibers. Membrane meshes were implanted in critical size defect of rabbit femoral epiphysis during 3 and 6 weeks. Micro CT and histological analysis demonstrated biocompatibility of calcium alginate meshes in bony area. Calcium alginate meshes have no osteogenic and osteoconductive properties, however calcium alginate meshes could be a good candidate for replacement of dacron balloon used in vertebroplasty.

Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the capacity of the association of calcium phosphate cement with collagen membrane for large segmental bone defect. Six adult beagle dog underwent defect creation in the ulna and was reconstructed with combination of macroporous calcium phosphate cement MCPC® and resorbable collagen membrane EZ Cure®. After 6 months of implantation, the samples were analyzed with Micro CT, light microscopy and SEM using BSE. Bridging of the defect with a lamellar and well organized bone was achieved in all animals. MCPC granules resorption was increased at the extremities of the implant. Collagen membrane at the expense of the implant was replaced by periosteum-like formation. The results demonstrate the ability of the composite to reconstruct large segmental and critical size defect in long bone.

Abstract: We have developed a novel macroporous calcium phosphate cement MCPC® that sets to poorly crystalline apatite after mixing the powder component with an aqueous solution and has interconnective macroporosity We performed cranioplasty on rat model by injecting the new macroporous calcium phosphate cement MCPC®. The mechanical property of the cement is about 12MPa after 24 hours (compression test). The cement matrix is totally transformed into poorly crystalline apatite in 48 hours. This study demonstrates that MCPC® cement was suitable and efficient for parietal bone reconstruction. Its injectability and moldability allows to be used in bone reconstruction surgery and its mechanical properties are compatible to support calvarial reconstruction. In addition, a bone ingrowth onto the BCP granules occurred on time.

Abstract: Surface roughness modulates the osseointegration of orthopaedic and dental titanium
implants. High surface roughness is currently obtained by blasting of titanium implants with silica
or aluminium abrasive particles. This process includes into the surface abrasive particles and may
cause the release of cytotoxic silica or aluminium ions in the peri implant tissue. To overcome this
drawback, we currently develop an innovative gridblasting process using Biphasic Calcium
Phosphate (BCP) particles (RBBM Resorbable and Biocompatible Blast Media) to generate
biocompatible roughened titanium surface.
This work present the technique of blasting using RBBM particles to provide a roughened surface
which does not release cytotoxic elements and (ii) to assess the effects of such a roughened surface
for bone osteointegration in critical size rabbit defect. Our results demonstrate that resorbable
biphasic calcium phosphate abrasive particles can be used to create titanium surface roughness. This
grid blasting process increases surface roughness of titanium implants and offers a non cytotoxic
surface for rapid and efficient osteointegration.

Abstract: Dedicated to Minimal Invasive Surgery MIS particularly in spine for vertebroplasty, the
surgeons and radiologists ask for improvement of radio opacity, to be sure of the injection site, and to
prevent injection in blood vessels. MBCP Gel® is an Injectible biomaterial non self hardening, the
biomaterials consists of BCP granules associated with a hydrosoluble polymer. These materials have
been shown to be perfectly biocompatible and potentially resorbable and, thanks to their initial
plasticity, they assume the shape of the bone defects very easily, eliminating the need to shape the
material to adjust to the implantation site. MBCP gels do not have mechanical properties like the
hydraulic bone cements. However bone cells are able to invade the spaces created by the
disappearance of the polymer carrier. Bone ingrowth takes place all around the granules at the expense
of the resorption of the BCP granules. In time, the mechanical property is increased due to the
presence of the newly formed bone. This study demonstrates an improvement of MBCP gel by freeze
drying and reconstitution using iodine solution or sterile water in a classical model of rabbit bone
defects.

Abstract: The aim of this study was to study bone marrow quality from various location and
species for reconstruction of segmental critical size defect in irradiated weigh bearing bone.
Sample of bone marrow aspirates from rabbits and Beagle dog were analyzed. Rabbits were
implanted with a composite associating resorbable collagen membrane plus micro
macroporous biphasic calcium phosphate (MBCP®) and autologous bone marrow (BM)
injected after irradiation. Bone marrow samples were found to be significantly less rich in
tibia than in humerus and ilium in Dog and less rich in Dog than in Rabbit (p<0,05).
Successful osseous colonization bridging of the defect were obtain at 16 weeks in all animals.
Identical repartition of bone ingrowth and residual ceramic at the different levels of the
implant suggest an osteoinduction role of the bone marrow graft in the center of the defect.
This model succeeded in reconstruct a large segmental defect in weight bearing and
irradiated bone in rabbit.

Abstract: This paper reports on the research into multiphase bone substitutes carried out by laboratories from the ‘Pays de la
Loire’ region in France. This collaborative research was funded by both the French Government and the Regional
Council in the period 2000-2007. Calcium phosphate bioceramics, polymers and combinations have been
developed as bone substitutes for various maxillofacial and orthopaedic applications. These bone substitutes
should support and regenerate bone tissue and resorb after implantation. In the bone tissue engineering area, they
have been combined with autologous bone marrow cells or bioactive factors. The bone substitutes were tested in
various animal models mimicking clinical situations or under pathological conditions (osteoporosis). In order to
complete our research, the multiphase materials were also evaluated in clinical trials.

Abstract: We have performed and evaluated a composite combining PL DLLA and PCa able to
have a better control of the hydrolysis and maintain of the mechanical property on time, until
wound healing was achieved. Bioabsorbable osteoconductive composite is devoted to the
development of resorbable osteosynthesis for spine and osteoarticular surgeries. Such resorbable
osteosynthesis will be associated to new bone substitute having high osteogenic property but
without initial mechanical property. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the resorption kinetic
of a composite using PL DLLA (Poly [L-Lactide-co-D,L-Lactide] acide) charged with PCa granules
and the interaction with injectable bioceramic without self hardening. MBCP gel® is a composite
associating a mineral phase of an intimate nanoscale melting of hydroxyapatite and beta tri calcium
phosphate and an aqueous phase containing a synthetic polymer derived from cellulose HPMC
(hydroxyl propyl methyl cellulose).

Abstract: Resorbable osteosynthesis based on PLLA and derivatives will be associated to bone
substitute for bone reconstruction. We have performed rand evaluated a composite combining PL
DLLA and Biphasic calcium phosphate able to have a), a better controlled hydrolysis in the purpose
to preserve on time the mechanical property, and b), for long term efficiency, bone ingrowth at the
expense of the osteosynthesis and the associated bone substitute. A new calcium phosphate cement
MCPC® was tested with such composite. The novel macroporous calcium phosphate cement
MCPC sets to poorly crystalline apatite after mixing the powder component and an aqueous
solution. Interconnective macroporosity was induced on time by resorption of one part of the
MCPC®. The multiphasic calcium phosphate components in the cement, are resorbed at different
rates allowing the replacement by newly formed bone. This study reports the biocompatibility and
the interactions of a composite using PL DLLA (Poly [L-Lactide-co-D,L-Lactide] acid) charged
with biphasic calcium phosphate granules and a self setting calcium phosphate cement of new
generation.
