Abstract

Background: Odontogenic maxillary sinusitis (OMS) and oroantral communication (OAC) have been well recognized in oral and maxillofacial surgery. The treatment ranges from non-surgical treatment to surgical treatment. Purpose: This case report discusses the management of OMS and OAC through a non-surgical approach. Case: A female patient presented to our department after being referred from a different department. After informed consent was obtained, her tooth was extracted. Unfortunately, the maxillary sinus was exposed, and OMS was suspected after pus leakage occurred into the oral cavity prior to tooth extraction. The communication was found at the mesiobuccal region with a 3 mm diameter and distobuccal region with a 2 mm diameter. Case management: Due to the small size of the OAC, it was decided to close the communication using the figure-of-eight suture technique, and an absorbable gelatin sponge was placed inside the socket. Odontogenic maxillary sinusitis was treated with a combination of pharmacological therapy and dental therapy, including the removal of the source of infection and a prescription of antibiotics and nasal decongestant due to the OAC. Finally, the patient was educated about the sinus precaution step. Conclusion: Good healing of the lesion was noted in this report. Non-surgical treatment such as dental therapy and pharmacological therapy can, therefore, be considered to treat OMS. Closure of the OAC using a suture technique and a gelatin sponge can treat small-sized communication.

Abstract

Background: Beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) is widely used in bone grafting due to its biocompatibility and bioresorbability. Recently, there has been growing interest in using sustainable materials, such as green mussel shells, as an alternative source for β-TCP. These shells, rich in calcium carbonate, provide a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative for β-TCP synthesis. Purpose: To fabricate composite blocks from β-TCP derived from green mussel shells, mixed with polyacrylic acid (PAA), using a setting reaction and freeze-drying method. Methods: Beta-tricalcium phosphate powder was obtained via wet precipitation, starting with calcium carbonate from green mussel shells, converting it to calcium oxide, and then to β-TCP. The resulting powder was mixed with PAA, set, and freeze-dried to form composite blocks. Results: Characterization of the composite blocks for porosity and diametral tensile strength (DTS) showed that blocks made with green mussel shell-derived β-TCP had rougher surfaces due to larger particles than control blocks made with commercial β-TCP. Composite blocks with 70% green mussel shell-derived β-TCP and 30% PAA exhibited significantly higher porosity (26.97% ± 2.64%) and DTS (11.76 ± 1.59 MPa) than those made with commercial β-TCP (porosity: 13.40% ± 1.56%; DTS: 7.79 ± 1.29 MPa). Reducing β-TCP content to 60% resulted in increased porosity (34.22% ± 1.84%) and lower DTS (6.41 ± 0.78 MPa). Conclusion: Composite blocks made from green mussel shell-derived β-TCP and PAA showed higher porosity and significantly higher DTS than blocks made from commercial β-TCP. Decreasing β-TCP content increased porosity but decreased DTS.

Abstract

Introduction: Beta-tricalcium phosphate (βTCP) has higher solubility than hydroxyapatite (HA), allowing it to be more easily resorbed and replaced by newly formed bone. This higher solubility enables the release of calcium and phosphate ions that play important roles in bone remodeling and osteoblast activity; however, excessive ion release may lead to cytotoxic effects. Limestone, mainly composed of calcium carbonate (CaCO₃), can serve as a calcium source for the fabrication of βTCP. βTCP scaffolds can be combined with organic components such as chitosan and gelatin to form composite scaffolds for bone tissue engineering. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the cytotoxicity of a β-tricalcium phosphate–chitosan–gelatin composite scaffold as a bone substitute. Methods: Type of research was experimental laboratory. Freeze-drying method was used to produce a composite scaffold which was divided into two groups: chitosan-gelatin scaffold as control group and βTCP-chitosan-gelatin scaffold (each group consisted of three samples) To evaluate cytotoxicity, composite scaffolds were tested on osteoblast cells and the MTT assay was measured and assessed based on time evaluation at 24 hours and 72 hours. Cytotoxicity was determined based on the percentage of viable cells obtained from the MTT assay. Results: Viable cells percentage on the chitosan-gelatin scaffold was 70.32% at 24 h and increased to 99.52% at 72 h. While on the chitosan-gelatin-βTCP scaffold there were 85.11% viable cells at 24 h and increased to 89.54% at 72 h. Statistical analysis using one-way ANOVA showed no significant difference among all groups (p>0.05). However, Fisher’s LSD test indicated a significant difference in cell viability between 24 hours and 72 hours within the chitosan gelatin group. Conclusion: The βTCP-chitosan-gelatin composite scaffold demonstrated no cytotoxic effect on osteoblast cells, indicating its biocompatibility and potential suitability as a bone substitute material.
