Abstract
Calcium silicate (C3S) cements are available in kits that do not account for patients' specific needs or clinicians' preferences regarding setting time, radiopacity, mechanical, and handling properties. Moreover, slight variations in powder components and liquid content affect cement's properties and bioactivity. Unfortunately, it is virtually impossible to optimize several cement properties simultaneously via the traditional "one variable at a time" strategy, as inputs often induce trade-offs in properties (e.g., a higher water-to-powder ratio [W/P] increases flowability but decreases mechanical properties). Herein, we used Taguchi's methods and genetic algorithms (GAs) to simultaneously analyze the effect of multiple inputs (e.g., powder composition, radiopacifier concentration, and W/P) on setting time, pH, flowability, diametral tensile strength, and radiopacity, as well as prescribe recipes to produce cements with predicted properties. The properties of cements designed with GAs were experimentally tested, and the results matched the predictions. Finally, we show that the cements increased the genetic expression of odonto/osteogenic genes, alkaline phosphatase activity, and mineralization potential of dental pulp stem cells. Hence, GAs can produce cements with tailor-made properties and differentiation potential for personalized endodontic treatment.

Optimizing fabrication parameters via Taguchi method for production of high yield hydroxyapatite microsphere scaffolds using Drop-on-Demand inkjet method. J Biomed Mater Res B Appl Biomater 2023; 111:1938-1955. [PMID: 37378477 DOI: 10.1002/jbm.b.35297] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2023] [Revised: 05/27/2023] [Accepted: 06/19/2023] [Indexed: 06/29/2023]
Abstract
Drop on demand (DOD) inkjet method is a cost-efficient way of producing hydroxyapatite (HAp) microsphere scaffolds with narrow size distribution. However, DOD fabrication parameters may influence the yield and characteristics of the microsphere scaffolds. Testing different permutations and combinations of fabrication parameters is costly and time consuming. Taguchi method could be used as a predictive tool for optimizing the key fabrication parameters to produce HAp microspheres with desired yield and properties, minimizing the number of experimental combinations to be tested. The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of the fabrication parameters on the characteristics of the microspheres formed and determine optimum parameter conditions for producing high yield HAp microsphere scaffolds with the desired properties intended to serve as potential bone substitutes. We aimed to achieve microspheres with high production yield, microsphere size of <230 μm, micropore sizes <1 μm, rough surface morphology and high sphericity. Experiments were conducted using Taguchi method with a L9 orthogonal array at three levels per parameter to determine optimum parameter values for (1) operating pressure, (2) shutter speed duration, (3) nozzle height and (4) CaCl2 concentration. Based on signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio analysis, the identified optimum parameter conditions for operating pressure, shutter speed duration, nozzle height and CaCl2 concentration to be 0.9-1.3 bar, 100 ms, 8 cm and 0.4 M respectively. The microspheres obtained had an average size of 213 μm, 0.45 μm micropore size, high sphericity index of 0.95 and high production yield of 98%. Confirmation tests and ANOVA results affirms the validity of Taguchi method in optimizing HAp microspheres with high yield, desired size, micropore size and shape. HAp microsphere scaffolds produced by optimum conditions were subjected to a 7-day in-vitro study. Cells remained viable and continued to proliferate (increased 1.2-fold) over 7 days with microspheres maintaining high cell density with cells bridging between microspheres. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) assay increased 1.5-fold from day 1, suggesting good osteogenic potency of HAp microspheres as potential bone substitutes.

Abstract
This study aimed to develop polycaprolactone (PCL) electrospun membranes coated with mineral trioxide aggregate/hydroxyapatite (MTA/HA) as a potential material for dental pulp capping. Initially, the PCL membrane was prepared by an electrospinning process, which was further surface coated with MTA (labeled as PCLMTA) and HA (labeled as PCLHA). The physico-chemical characterization of the fabricated membranes was carried out using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM)/Energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, and contact angle analysis. The biocompatibility of the human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) on the fabricated membranes was checked by XTT assay, and the hDPSCs adhesion and spreading were assessed by FE-SEM and confocal microscopy. The wound healing ability of hDPSCs in response to different electrospun membrane extracts was examined by scratch assay. The surface morphology analysis of the membranes by FE-SEM demonstrated a uniform nanofibrous texture with an average fiber diameter of 594 ± 124 nm for PCL, 517 ± 159 nm for PCLHA, and 490 ± 162 nm for PCLMTA. The elemental analysis of the PCLHA membrane indicated the presence of calcium and phosphorous elements related to HA, whereas the PCLMTA membrane showed the presence of calcium and silicate, related to MTA. The presence of MTA and HA in the PCL membranes was also confirmed by Raman spectroscopy. The water contact analysis demonstrated the hydrophobic nature of the membranes. The results indicated that PCL, PCLHA, and PCLMTA membranes were biocompatible, while PCLMTA exhibited better cell adhesion, spreading, and migration.

Abstract
Novel technologies and platforms have allowed significant breakthroughs in dental pulp tissue engineering. The development of injectable scaffolds that can be combined with stem cells, growth factors, or other bioactive compounds has enabled the regeneration of functional dental pulps able to secrete dentin in preclinical and clinical studies. Similarly, cell-homing technologies and scaffold-free strategies aim to modulate dental pulp self-regeneration mediated by resident stem cells and can evade some of the technical challenges related to cell-based tissue engineering strategies. This article will discuss emerging technologies and platforms for the clinical applications of dental pulp tissue engineering.

Abstract
With advances in knowledge and treatment options, pulp regeneration is now a clear objective in clinical dental practice. For this purpose, many methodologies have been developed in attempts to address the putative questions raised both in research and in clinical practice. In the first part of this review, laboratory‐based methods will be presented, analysing the advantages, disadvantages, and benefits of cell culture methodologies and ectopic/semiorthotopic animal studies. This will also demonstrate the need for alignment between two‐dimensional and three‐dimensional laboratory techniques to accomplish the range of objectives in terms of cell responses and tissue differentiation. The second part will cover observations relating to orthotopic animal studies, describing the current models used for this purpose and how they contribute to the translation of regenerative techniques to the clinic.

Abstract
Revascularization of the pulp tissue is one of the fundamental processes and challenges in regenerative endodontic procedures (REPs). In this regard, the current study is aimed at synthesizing the mineral trioxide aggregate- (MTA-) based scaffolds as a biomaterial for REPs. Poly (ε-caprolactone) (PCL)/chitosan (CS)/MTA scaffolds were constructed and evaluated by FTIR, SEM, XRD, and TGA analyses. Proliferation and adhesion of human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) were assessed on these scaffolds by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and MTT assays, respectively. The expression of angiogenic markers was investigated in gene and protein levels by real-time PCR and western blotting tests. Our results indicated that the obtained appropriate physicochemical characteristics of scaffolds could be suitable for REPs. The adhesion and proliferation level of hDPSCs were significantly increased after seeding on PCL/CS/MTA scaffolds. The expression levels of VEGFR-2, Tie2, and Angiopoietin-1 genes were statistically increased on the PCL/CS/MTA scaffold. In support of these findings, western blotting results showed the upregulation of these markers at protein levels in PCL/CS/MTA scaffold (P < 0.05). The current study results suggested that PCL/CS/MTA scaffolds provide appropriate structures for the adhesion and proliferation of hDPSCs besides induction of the angiogenesis process in these cells.

Abstract
New procedures envisioned for dental pulp regeneration after pulpectomy include cell homing strategy. It involves host endogenous stem cell recruitment and activation. To meet this cell-free approach, we need to design a relevant scaffold to support cell migration from tissues surrounding the dental root canal. A composite membrane made of electrospun poly(lactic acid) nanofibers and electrosprayed polycaprolactone with tannic acid (TA) microparticles which mimics the architecture of the extracellular matrix was first fabricated. After rolling the membrane in the form of a 3D conical scaffold and subsequently coating it with gelatin, it can be directly inserted into the root canal. The porous morphology of the construct was characterized by SEM at different length scales. It was shown that TA was released from the 3D conical scaffold after 2 days in PBS at 37 °C. Biocompatibility studies were first assessed by seeding human dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) on planar membranes coated or not coated with gelatin to compare the surfaces. After 24 h, the results highlighted that the gelatin-coating increased the membrane biocompatibility and cell viability. Similar DPSC morphology and proliferation on both membrane surfaces were observed. The culture of DPSCs on conical scaffolds showed cell colonization in the whole cone volume, proving that the architecture of the conical scaffold was suitable for cell migration.

Abstract
Bone defects and periodontal disease are pathological conditions that may become neglected diseases if not treated properly. Hydroxyapatite (HA), along with tricalcium phosphate and bioglass ceramic, is a biomaterial widely applied to orthopedic and dental uses. The in vivo performance of HA is determined by the interaction between HA particles with bone cells, particularly the bone mineralizing cells osteoblasts. It has been reported that HA-induced osteoblastic differentiation by increasing the expression of osteogenic transcription factors. However, the pathway involved and the events that occur in the cell membrane have not been well understood and remain controversial. Advances in gene editing and the discovery of pharmacologic inhibitors assist researchers to better understand osteoblastic differentiation. This review summarizes the involvement of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), p38, Wnt, and bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2) in osteoblastic cellular regulation induced by HA. These advances enhance the current understanding of the molecular mechanism of HA as a biomaterial. Moreover, they provide a better strategy for the design of HA to be utilized in bone engineering.

Abstract
Since the discovery of dental pulp stem cells, a lot of teams have expressed an interest in dental pulp regeneration. Many approaches, experimental models and biological explorations have been developed, each including the use of stem cells and scaffolds with the final goal being clinical application in humans. In this review, the authors' objective was to compare the experimental models and strategies used for the development of biomaterials for tissue engineering of dental pulp with stem cells. Electronic queries were conducted on PubMed using the following terms: pulp regeneration, scaffold, stem cells, tissue engineering and biomaterial. The extracted data included the following information: the strategy envisaged, the type of stem cells, the experimental models, the exploration or analysis methods, the cytotoxicity or viability or proliferation cellular tests, the tests of scaffold antibacterial properties and take into account the vascularization of the regenerated dental pulp. From the 71 selected articles, 59% focused on the "cell-transplantation" strategy, 82% used in vitro experimentation, 58% in vivo animal models and only one described an in vivo in situ human clinical study. 87% used dental pulp stem cells. A majority of the studies reported histology (75%) and immunohistochemistry explorations (66%). 73% mentioned the use of cytotoxicity, proliferation or viability tests. 48% took vascularization into account but only 6% studied the antibacterial properties of the scaffolds. This article gives an overview of the methods used to regenerate dental pulp from stem cells and should help researchers create the best development strategies for research in this field.

Abstract
Due to traffic accidents, injuries, burns, congenital malformations and other reasons, a large number of patients with tissue or organ defects need urgent treatment every year. The shortage of donors, graft rejection and other problems cause a deficient supply for organ and tissue replacement, repair and regeneration of patients, so regenerative medicine came into being. Stem cell therapy plays an important role in the field of regenerative medicine, but it is difficult to fill large tissue defects by injection alone. The scientists combine three-dimensional (3D) printed bone tissue engineering scaffolds with stem cells to achieve the desired effect. These scaffolds can mimic the extracellular matrix (ECM), bone and cartilage, and eventually form functional tissues or organs by providing structural support and promoting attachment, proliferation and differentiation. This paper mainly discussed the applications of 3D printed bone tissue engineering scaffolds in stem cell regenerative medicine. The application examples of different 3D printing technologies and different raw materials are introduced and compared. Then we discuss the superiority of 3D printing technology over traditional methods, put forward some problems and limitations, and look forward to the future.
