Hidroxiapatita carbonatada e plasma rico em plaquetas em enxertos ósseos

Abstract

In recent years, hydroxyapatite has been one of the most used materials for bone implants, because of their biological characteristics similar to the human bone. Currently, Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) has aroused interest in regenerative medicine, because of the potential to accelerate tissue regeneration. In this work, we propose to evaluate the influence of PRP in osteogenesis capacity of HAC in critical induced fractures in rats. The nanocarboapatite (HAC) sample was synthesized similar in composition and crystallinity to human bone, and mixed with the PRP to be implanted in the fibula from rats. The sample HAC was characterized by thermal analysis (TG), vibrational spectroscopy in the infrared region (IR), elemental analysis (CHN) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). The results showed that the sample HAC obtained exhibited a single phase with about 6% carbonate, and a average crystallite size of 61.80 Å The results of the implants 20, 40, 60 and 80 days after surgery showed that there was fractures in critical size bony growth for all samples. As control rats were used implant empty tube or a simple fracture critical size. The results of this study show that PRP did not significantly influence the transformation of HAC in bone tissue.
