N2 - Optimal repair of large craniomaxillofacial (CMF) defects caused by trauma or disease requires the development of new, synthetic osteoconductive materials in combination with cell-based therapies, to overcome the limitations of traditionally used bone graft substitutes. In this study, tyrosine-derived polycarbonate, E1001(1k) scaffolds were fabricated to incorporate the osteoinductive coating, Dicalcium phosphate dihydrate (DCPD). The biocompatibility of E1001(1k)-DCPD, E1001(1k)-βTCP and E1001(1k) scaffolds was compared using in vitro culture with human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs). We found that the DCPD coating was converted to carbonated hydroxyapatite over time in in vitro culture in Osteogenic Media, while the βTCP did not. hDPSCs exhibited slow initial attachment and proliferation on DCPD E1001(1k) scaffolds, but subsequently improved over time in culture, and promoted osteogenic differentiation. To the best of our knowledge, this study highlights for the first time the effects of Osteogenic Media on phase changes of DCPD, and on DCPD scaffold cytocompatibility with hDPSCs. DCPD showed similar hDPSC biocompatibility as compared to βTCP, and osteogenic differentiation of seeded hDPSCs. These studies suggest that E1001(1k)-DCPD scaffolds are a superior tool for craniofacial bone regeneration and provide the foundation for future in vivo testing.
