Complementary use of preclinical imaging in minipig model studies
Contact person: Sara Gargiulo, sara.gargiuloibb.cnr.it


Description ▼
Improvements in bone-implant integration are crucial in modern dental surgery. The processes of osseointegration involve an initial mechanical interlocking between alveolar bone and the implant body (primary implant stability) and, later, a biological fixation through continuous bone apposition (contact osteogenesis) and remodeling toward the implant (secondary implant stability). The introduction of newly developed implant materials for patients care often requires the use of preclinical models to test biocompatibility, mechanical stability and safety. Among other possible species, minipigs are a recommended animal model for translational research of new dental materials before clinical trials in humans, since their bone structure and physiology are similar to that of humans. Based on the above considerations, minipig has been selected as a large animal model for the pivotal preclinical testing of innovative biomaterials and implants. This model would benefit from a non-destructive imaging modality so that mechanical and morphological endpoints can more readily be examined in the same specimens. Currently, microcomputed tomography (μCT) is a potential candidate tool as an adjunct for biomechanical testing and for standard histology. μCT is fast, precise and, unlike conventional microscopic methods, does not need long time for specimen preparation and is not limited to assessment of a restricted number of sections. High-resolution μCT allows measurements of trabecular and cortical bone and a three-dimensional (3D) representation of bone formation at the peri-implant region. In this way, μCT allows less use of samples necessary for both biomechanical and morphometric studies, in accordance with the principles of the “refinement” and “reduction” declared by Russell and Burch in 1954. In our pilot study we examined the utility of μCT for evaluating bone-implant integration in a minipig model, as an adjunct to conventional histomorphometry and biomechanical testing. The performance of an innovative hybrid nanocomposite, as a biomimetic scaffold in improving implant primary stability in post-surgical sites, were tested.  μCT increases evaluation throughput and offers the possibility for qualitative three-dimensional recording of the bone-implant system as well as for non-destructive evaluation of bone architecture and mineral density, in combination with conventional analysis methods. The proposed multimodal approach allows to improve accuracy and reproducibility for peri-implant bone measurements and could support future investigations.
