RESUMO

The fresh-frozen bone allograft (FFBA) is an alternative to surgical procedures of bone grafts, mainly in the preservation of alveolar ridge prior the installation of osseointegrated implants. However there are paradigms that surround the relation between immune response to alloantigens present inside the graft and the clinical response of the graft. An attempt to understand this relationship, the FFBA was evaluated as a graft to preserve the alveolar ridge post-extraction. The results show a statistically significant reduction in height, thickness and volume of the ridge between the initial and final examination, however this reduction was not clinically significant. The ridge preservation allowed implant installation and osseointegration. In addition, histologic analysis suggests a good performance of the graft with no foreign body reaction and formation of new bone at all sites. In analyzing the behavior immune response, the results showed that stimulation with alloantigens present in bone allograft induced no delayed hypersensitivity reaction in vivo. Additionally, periphery blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from patients no proliferate in response to alloantigens in vitro. However, the data also demonstrated that the alloantigens increase IL-2 and IFN- production, but no IL-4 and IL-10 production, by PBMCs from patients. When evaluate the relation between the cytokines production and clinical parameters, the results demonstrate that there statistically significant correlation between IL-2 production in vitro and ridge height changes (%), although this clinical parameter is not clinically significant. In fact, the alloantigens in FFBA are not sufficient for its contraindications as grafting material.
