Nowadays, the process of bone regeneration for future implants and prosthetic treatment is supplemented by inserting bone-replacement materials into such defects. A problem arises in the case of large cysts, where bone-replacement materials cannot be used to secure proper bone regeneration. After operations on large mandible cysts, the patients are often compelled to use an obdurate for a period of about 2 years to heal the site or decompress the cyst. This makes the treating process very strenuous and long for patients. On the other hand, an excellent alternative seems to be the use of autogenic materials causing no significant mutilation or severe complications. Currently, the best in the regeneration of bone is considered to be autogenously materials that have not only osteoconductive properties, but also osteoinductive and osteogenic. However, it is important to note that obtaining this material was the least burdensome for the patient and it was possible to collect a large amount of tissue. Based on the case presented in this paper, we suggest a tibiae bone as a donor place and platelet rich fibrin as a membrane covering the material and support rapid healing (Dent. Med. Probl. 2014, 51, 2, 252–258). Key words: guided bone regeneration, bone defect, autogenic bone graft, platelet-rich fibrin. Streszczenie Metody stosowane w leczeniu małych torbieli są ugruntowane i niepodważalne. Obecnie proces regeneracji kości pod przyszłe leczenie implantologiczne oraz protetyczne polega na uzupełnieniu defektów kostnych materiałami kościozastępczymi. Pojawia się problem w przypadku dużych torbieli i dużych ubytków kości, ponieważ materiały kościozastępcze w tych przypadkach nie mogą być zastosowane. Po zabiegach chirurgicznych usunięcia dużej torbieli żuchwy pacjenci są często zmuszani do korzystania z obturatora przez około 2 lata w celu zmniejszenia i dekompresji torbieli. To powoduje, iż leczenie staje się długie i męczące dla pacjentów. Doskonałą alternatywą wydaje się jednak zastosowanie materiałów autogennych, które nie powodują znacznego okaleczenia oraz licznych komplikacji. Obecnie za najlepsze w regeneracji kostnej uważa się materiały autogenne, które mają nie tylko właściwości osteokondukcyjne, lecz także osteoindukcyjne i osteogenne. Ważne jest jednak, aby pozyskanie tego materiału było jak najmniej obciążające dla pacjenta oraz możliwe było pobranie dużej ilości tkanek. Opierając się na przypadku opisanym w pracy, autorzy proponują kość piszczelową jako miejsce dawcze oraz fibrynę bogatopłytkową jako membranę pokrywającą przeszczepiony materiał i wspomagający jego szybkie wgajanie (Dent. Med. Probl. 2014, 51, 2, 252–258). Słowa kluczowe: fibryna bogatopłytkowa, sterowana regeneracja kości, autogenny przeszczep kości, ubytek kostny. Guided Regeneration of Bone Defects After Cystectomy Odontogenic cysts are usually treated by surgical methods [1]. To avoid neoplastic metaplasia of the cyst lining epithelium (some authors report that this occurs in 17% of the cases), most odontogenic cysts are treated by one-stage procedure [1]. In the past, large cysts were most often treated by two-stage methods as suggested by Drozdowski (modified Partsch I) due to the high risk of pathological fractures. Stage 1 consists of cutting a hole into the cyst cavity through the layers between the mouth and the cyst lumen. The hole is preserved by means of an obturator until the time a radical procedure can be performed. Stage 2, i.e. enucleation of the cyst, is performed when the cyst becomes small enough to remove it safely for adjacent anatomical structures and teeth. Disadvantages of this method are long duration of the treatment, necessity to perform two operations, discomfort connected with the necessity to use an obturator or to observe special regulations of oral hygiene, and possible neoplastic transformation of the cyst lining [2]. One-stage (Partsch I) treatment consists of enucleating the cyst sac with its contents and closing the postoperative wound [1]. The bone cavity becomes filled with clot that will undergo gradual organization and regeneration resulting finally in fibrous or bone tissue. Apart from the morphology of the defects, one of the most commonly reported local factors restricting the regeneration processes is their size. So-called critical size defects (CSDs) will not be filled with good bone tissue. Studies on human patients have shown that CSD values range most often from 5 mm to 7 mm. If the defects are greater, the plasma will extravasate, causing the retraction and isolation of the fibrin marginal layer from its walls. As a result, mesenchymal cells will fail to penetrate properly the defect, and the blood clot will be replaced by connective tissue. This may lead to the development of scar tissue [3]. Systemic factors also have a great impact on bone healing, as well as bone loss itself, its shape, the volume of the spatial arrangement. Therefore, the surgical treatment of cysts larger than 7 mm will require special attention, aside from the enucleation of the lesion, so as to stimulate correct bone reconstruction, in terms of volume and quality, in the defect site, that will facilitate in the future application of prostheses, conventional or implantological, after the bone has regenerated. Methods of treatment used in order to fill intraosseous defects with good bone tissue are commonly called guided bone regeneration (GBR). A combined therapeutic approach, consisting of filling the defect with augmentation material, covering it with a barrier membrane and closing the wound is considered by the majority of authors as 253 the best way of treating intraosseous defects [4]. Alloplastic bone-replacement materials, xenogenic or allogenic materials and autogenic bone grafts are currently being used to fill bone defects [5, 6]. Among a wide variety of reconstructive materials used in medicine, the patient’s own tissue (autogenic material) in the form of bone chips or blocks, harvested and grafted at the same time, is definitely the best [7]. Such a material activates three important mechanisms: osteogenesis, i.e. creating bone tissue as a result of transferring progenitor cells which undergo differentiation into osteoblasts, osteoinduction, i.e. stimulating mesenchymal cells through bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) to differentiate into osteoblasts, and osteoconduction, i.e. creating a skeleton to enable bone tissue growth. The bone can be harvested intraorally or extraorally. Inside a mouth, the bone is usually harvested from retromolar regions in the mandible, mentum, maxillary tuber or edentulous maxilla, but the volume of such bone is limited. If larger defects must be filled, the bone is harvested from remote places, most often from the iliac ala, rib, parietal bone or shank bone. In the case of cancellous bone grafts, the greatest volumes are obtained from the iliac crest and proximal tibial metaphysis [6]. Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is used to isolate the autogenic graft that has been placed to fill the defect after a cystectomy from the mucoperiosteal flap, and for its regenerative and healing properties. Platelet-rich fibrin is a product of peripheral blood centrifugation, and it contains plasmatic growth factors like platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), insulin growth factor (IGF), transforming growth factor β (TGF-β), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), epidermal growth factor (EGF), hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and cytokinins. The autogenic nature of the material eliminates the danger of a cross infection developing. Although immunogenic, the material shows strong tissue-forming potential. Dense fibrin network of PRF together with PDGF content inhibit the growth of keratocytes into the postoperative wound, and make favourable conditions for reconstructing physiological structures [8,9]. Ease of preparation and manipulation combined with low costs make PRF a reasonable alternative for artificial resorbable and nonresorbable barrier membranes. There are reports on using PRF in periodontology and implantology, both as clots immediately after centrifugation and as ready membranes. A total of 23 cystectomies of large cysts, using tibial bone chips and platelet-rich fibrin, were performed in Department and Hospital of Maxillofacial and Oral Surgery, Katowice, between 2010 and 2012. Healing of the donor or recipient sites was 254 correct and bone reconstruction normal in most of the patients. One of the cases is presented below to show some details of the procedure. Case Report A 33-year-old woman B.K. (case record no.10/654C) was referred by her family doctor to Outpatient Clinic of Maxillofacial and Oral Surgery, Silesian Medical University, Katowice, on 18 August 2010 because of tissue deformation in the region corresponding to molar teeth 46 and 47 which she had observed a few weeks before. She used medical drugs (Propranolol 10 mg 3 × 1 tabl. daily, Amertil 10 mg 1 × 1 tabl. daily and Buderhin 1 × 1 one dose to each nostril) due to systemic diseases (arterial hypertension, cardioneurosis, allergy to pollen from trees, grasses and corn). Her history revealed nephrotic syndrome in childhood and radical operation on her right middle ear for Fig. 1. Pantomographic x-ray picture of the patient before operation Ryc. 1.

Intraoral examination revealed ectatic mandibular body around 47–48 and necrotic pulp with 25, 27. A pantomography revealed a follicular cyst in tooth 48 and an impacted tooth 47 (Fig. 1, 2). Upon adequate preparation, including sanation of the mouth, the patient was admitted to Hospital of Maxillofacial Surgery in Katowice on 27 September 2010. Cystectomy was performed together with the removal of the impacted teeth in a standard way. A hole was planned across the compact bone with the diameter sufficient to allow enucleation of the entire cyst sac (Fig. 4). Donor site bone (Fig. 3, 5) was harvested upon making an incision on the skin and subcutaneous tissue 2 cm below and medially from the right tibial tubercle, removing the compact bone with a trephine and curetting the cancellous Fig. 3.

PRF membranes were prepared through centrifugation of peripheral vein fresh blood (48 mL). The wounds in the mouth and lower limb (Fig. 10) were treated surgically. The patient received antibiotic prophylaxis after the operation: Taromentin 3 × 625 mg p.o. for 6 days in the hospital and 8 days upon discharge, Metronidazol 3 × 500 mg p.o. for 6 days, Trilac 3 × 1 caps. as protection. A follow-up pantomography (Fig. 11) and radiography of the shank (Fig. 12) were performed. On day 2 and day 5 her body temperature rose to 37.6°C in the afternoon. The sutures were removed after 14 days. The length of Fig. 9. Operation – using a cancellous bone graft and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) to fill the bone defect Ryc. 9.

During the postoperative period she reported skin hypesthesia in her right lower lip and in the region of right shank tibial tubercle. She was given vit. B1 forte 3 × 1 tabl. daily. A pantomography was performed after 2 months (Fig. 13) and after 6 months (Fig. 14) showing correct bone regeneration of the right mandibular angle. Lower lip dysesthesia disappeared after 6 months, but she received biostimulating laser therapy for a slight skin hypesthesia in her right shank (3 × 5 cm) which still persisted. Fig. 12.

Zdjęcie RTG podudzi kontrolne 2 dni po zabiegu chirurgicznym Discussion As bone tissue has limited regenerative abilities, large mandibular defects, if no augmentation materials are used, take a long time to heal and often without full success [10]. Therefore, it is necessary to fill them with materials which have the ability to activate all basic mechanisms that lead Guided Regeneration of Bone Defects After Cystectomy to bone reconstruction: osteoconduction, osteoinduction and osteogenesis. There are many reports in the literature on materials and methods used for this purpose [3–7, 10]. Cancellous bone, harvested from the proximal tibia, and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), obtained as a result of venous blood centrifugation, were in sufficient volumes to fill a large defect after the removal of the cyst together with the two impacted molars. Using autogenic grafts is the best method to stimulate the reconstruction of bone tissue [11– 14]. An autogenic bone graft not only fulfils a supporting function but it stimulates reconstructive processes on the recipient site due to its mother cells, osteoblasts and quite a number of morphogenetic proteins. Apart from its supporting function, a bone graft plays a role as biological stimulator of osteogenesis. Each graft behaves in a similar way: it is gradually resorbed to finally replace the recipient’s own tissue. Host’s cells cause resorption of the dead bone tissue, thus leading to the release of factors inducing osteogenesis. A new bone tissue is created on the graft-resorbed surfaces. Gradually, the graft will be completely replaced. The process of bone graft reconstruction takes a long time, sometimes many months or even years [5]. In the case of large bone defects, special attention should be given to the proper choice of a donor site, as a sufficient volume of bone tissue has great significance for the treatment. Iliac ala and proximal tibial metaphysis seem to be the cancellous bone donor sites of choice for filling large defects after cystectomies. Other donor sites will give definitely smaller bone grafts. Engelstad et al. [acc. 15] compared the volumes of compressed cancellous bone harvested by means of conventional surgical methods from three donor sites in fresh cadavers. The greatest volumes were obtained from proximal tibia (11.3 mL) as compared with posterior iliac crest (10.1 mL) or anterior iliac crest (7.0 mL). Many authors report that autogenic bone harvesting from the proximal tibial metaphysis is accompanied by definitely less complications as compared with the iliac ala. O’Keeffe et al. [14] noted that the rate of complications after graft harvesting from the proximal tibial metaphysis was 1.3%. Much higher rate of complications is connected with harvesting from the iliac ala. Dimitriou et 257 al. [15] report that the rate of complications, infections, hematomas, fractures, hypertrophied scars) in their group was over 19% with graft harvesting from the iliac bone as compared with 6% with grafts from long bones. Geideman et al. [16] observed only one complication in one patient (postoperative hematoma) among a group of 155 patients in whom a cancellous bone graft was harvested from the proximal tibia. Bone graft harvesting from the iliac crest is often followed by persistent chronic donor site pain. Sacco et al. [17] report that only 1% of their study patients in whom a bone graft was harvested from the iliac ala did not complain of donor site pain on discharge. Their further observations were that only 17% of patients did not complain of pain after 6 weeks and 43% of patients did not complain of pain after 3 months. On the other hand, donor site pain persisted in 41% of patients after 6 months, in 33% of patients after 1 year and in 31% of patients after 2 years [17]. Owoola et al. [18] compared the bone donor sites: proximal tibial metaphysis and iliac crest, based on intraoperative evaluation (amount of the blood loss, volume of the harvested graft, time needed for graft harvesting) and six-month follow-up. Graft harvesting from the iliac crest took a much longer time and involved a greater intraoperative loss of blood and postoperative pain [18]. Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), described for the first time in 2001 by dr. Joseph Choukroun et al. of Nice, is currently widely used in oral surgery and maxillofacial surgery. In Dohan Choukroun et al. [19–23] published a series of their studies describing PRF and its potential clinical applications. When placed on the surfaces of autogenic bone chips and inserted into a defect after cystectomy, PRF membranes not only function as a barrier separating the graft from the mucoperiosteal flap but also stimulate correct the healing of the postoperative wound as they contain a number of growth factors that are gradually released. PRF harvesting technique is relatively simple and does not require any clotting factors, bovine thrombin, calcium chloride or gelating factors. PRF is solely a product of blood centrifugation. Based on our first experience we believe that using an autogenic cancellous bone, harvested from the tibial tubercle, together with PRF membranes obtained from patient’s venous blood upon centrifugation, is a very good solution.
