The alveolar bone regeneration efficiency and the orthodontic impactions of the alveolar bone grafting materials.

Materials References Combinatory Materials Type of Study Alveolar Bone Regeneration Efficiency Side Effects Impact on Orthodontics
Volume Cellular Activity Inflammation Pain Graft Failure Tooth Movement Rate Adverse Effect
BMP2 Kawamoto et al. (2002) poly [D,L-(lactide-co-glycolide)]/gelatin sponge complex Animal study (dog) Significantly greater regenerated bone than spongiosa autograft More osteoinductive activity associated with rhBMP2 N/A N/A N/A Both rhBMP2 and spongiosa groups showed similar responses to orthodontic force as normal alveolar bone Root resorption on pressure side with rhBMP2
Hammoudeh et al. (2017) DBM scaffold Clinical study (secondary alveolar cleft repair) Comparable bone regrowth and density as autologous iliac crest bone graft N/A Self-limited facial swelling, minor wound dehiscence Improved without intervention No increase in serious adverse events compared to iliac bone graft Similar spontaneous canine eruption rate was observed among rhBMP2 and iliac crest bone groups N/A
Chandra et al. (2019) N/A Clinical study (PAOO) A highly significant increase in bone density compared to conventional corticotomy procedure BMP-2 stimulates recruitment and differentiation of osteoclasts No significant difference on wound healing No significant difference on pain scores N/A Reduced orthodontic treatment time N/A
Jiang et al. (2020) BMP2-functionalized BioCaP granules Animal study (dogs) Compared to bovine xenograft: 1.25-fold enhanced bone formation, 1.42-fold more graft resorption, 1.36-fold higher bone density BMP mediated osteogenesis-angiogenesis coupling Reduced inflammation compared to bovine xenograft Not observed N/A Slightly reduced orthodontic tooth movement rate but statistically not significant compared to bovine xenograft Less root resorption and reduced periodontal probing depth compared to bovine xenograft
β-TCP de Ruiter et al. (2011) N/A Animal study (goats) More bone ingrowth than autografted iliac bone grafts, but the difference was not significant No significant difference between β-TCP and iliac bone groups No significant difference N/A N/A No difference in orthodontic tooth movement between β-TCP and iliac bone Minor degree of apical root resorption, analogous with human situation
Klein et al. (2019) N/A Animal study (mice) β-TCP and long bone allograft both induce normal bone healing, similarly to non-grafted normally healing sites Increased osteoclast recruitment induced by β-TCP at the early stages of healing compared to allograft using long bones No adverse inflammatory response Not observed Not observed β-TCP and allograft both slowed orthodontic movement compared to control without grafting; no difference in orthodontic movement between β-TCP and allografts N/A
Bioactive glasses El Shazley et al. (2016) N/A Clinical study (extraction socket preservation) TAMP grafted sockets healed with vertical trabeculae and large vascularized marrow spaces; better preservation of socket contour TAMP scaffolds enhanced the recruitment of stem cells from grafted sockets N/A N/A Not observed N/A N/A
Shoreibah et al. (2012) N/A Clinical study (PAOO) Significantly higher bone density was observed with bioactive glasses compared to the control group without grafting Bioactive glass particles attract osteoprogenitor cells and osteoblasts N/A N/A N/A Significant reduction in total treatment time compared to the control group without grafting No statistical difference on root resorption; absence of any significant apical root resorption
Bahammam, (2016) N/A Clinical study (PAOO) Lower bone density than bovine xenograft but not statistically significant. Both bioactive glass and bovine xenograft showed significantly greater density than the control group without grafting Bioactive glass has homeostatic properties and demonstrated both osteoprotection and osteoconduction Not observed Not observed Not observed No difference was observed among bioactive glass, bovine xenograft, and control (no graft) groups No significant difference in root length in all bioactive glass, bovine, and control (no graft) groups
PRF Tehranchi et al. (2018) N/A Clinical study (extraction socket preservation) Significantly higher bone density than control group without grafting PRF contains various growth factors, cytokines, and enzymes N/A 15% of patients reported severe post-injection pain N/A PRF accelerated orthodontic tooth movement, particularly in extraction cases N/A
Sar et al. (2019) N/A Animal study (rabbits) N/A PRF membrane alone led to an almost 3 times higher osteoblast cell count and almost 2.5 times higher blood vessel count when compared to the untreated control Not observed Not observed N/A PRF accelerated tooth movement No orthodontic-related discomfort was observed
BM-MSCs Tanimoto et al. (2015) N/A Animal study (dogs) Radiopaque newly formed bone was observed with periodontal ligament space using MSCs, whereas the bone on carbonated hydroxyapatite control group is immature MSCs exert new bone formation by osteogenic differentiation and induce capillary vessels N/A N/A N/A No difference in amount of tooth movement compared to carbonated hydroxyapatite for control; MSCs exhibit consistent tooth movement rate but control group did not Not observed
