Abstract
The drive for minimally invasive endodontic treatment strategies has shifted focus from technically complex and destructive root canal treatments towards more conservative vital pulp treatment. However, novel approaches to maintaining dental pulp vitality after disease or trauma will require the development of innovative, biologically-driven regenerative medicine strategies. For example, cell-homing and cell-based therapies have recently been developed in vitro and trialled in preclinical models to study dental pulp regeneration. These approaches utilise natural and synthetic scaffolds that can deliver a range of bioactive pharmacological epigenetic modulators (HDACis, DNMTis, and ncRNAs), which are cost-effective and easily applied to stimulate pulp tissue regrowth. Unfortunately, many biological factors hinder the clinical development of regenerative therapies, including a lack of blood supply and poor infection control in the necrotic root canal system. Additional challenges include a need for clinically relevant models and manufacturing challenges such as scalability, cost concerns, and regulatory issues. This review will describe the current state of bioactive-biomaterial/scaffold-based engineering strategies to stimulate dentine-pulp regeneration, explicitly focusing on epigenetic modulators and therapeutic pharmacological inhibition. It will highlight the components of dental pulp regenerative approaches, describe their current limitations, and offer suggestions for the effective translation of novel epigenetic-laden bioactive materials for innovative therapeutics.

Clin Exp Dent Res 2024; 10:e860. [PMID: 38433296 PMCID: PMC10909793 DOI: 10.1002/cre2.860] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2023] [Revised: 01/27/2024] [Accepted: 01/31/2024] [Indexed: 03/05/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to assess the clinical and radiographic outcomes of non-instrumentation endodontic treatment (NIET) using a modified antibiotic mix of cefixime, ciprofloxacin and metronidazole with simvastatin (an anti-inflammatory, bone regeneration drug) on necrotic primary molars compared to conventional pulpectomy to help preservation of necrotic primary teeth until its natural exfoliation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty mandibular primary second molars with necrotic pulp tissue from 38 healthy patients aged between 4 and 8 years were randomly assigned to two groups with a 1:1 allocation ratio. Group A teeth underwent conventional root canal treatment. The procedure involved a two-visit approach, employing k-files and h-files during the initial visit, followed by the application of calcium hydroxide paste as canal dressing between visits, while Group B teeth were treated with 3Mixtatin. All teeth were clinically evaluated after 1, 3, 6, and 12 months, and radiographically at 3, 6, and 12 months. Two external examiners assessed the results. Data analysis was conducted using a chi-square test at a 0.05 significance level. RESULTS At the end of the follow-up interval, 90% of teeth in each group exhibited no clinical signs or symptoms. Additionally, inter-radicular radiolucency healing occurred in 75% of cases in the NIET group and 89.5% in the conventional pulpectomy group. However, no statistically significant difference was found between the two groups. CONCLUSION NIET using 3Mixtatin seems to be a good alternative choice to conventional pulpectomy, offering a less complex treatment approach that may help avoid the complications associated with traditional pulpectomy and could be suitable for teeth with shorter roots.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The current systematic review aims to provide the available ex vivo evidence evaluating the biological interactions of dental stem cells (DSCs) and growth factor delivery systems. METHODS Following the Preferred Reporting Items for a Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, systematic search was conducted in the electronic databases (PubMed/Medline, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar) up to January 2022. Studies evaluating the biological interactions of DSCs and growth factor delivery systems were included. The outcome measures were cell cytocompatibility, mineralization, and differentiation. RESULTS Sixteen studies were selected for the qualitative synthesis. The following growth factor delivery systems exhibit adequate cytocompatibility, enhanced mineralization, and osteo/odontoblast differentiation potential of DSCs: 1) Fibroblast growth factor (FGF-2)-loaded-microsphere and silk fibroin, 2) Bone morphogenic protein-2 (BMP-2)-loaded-microsphere and mesoporous calcium silicate scaffold, 3) Transforming growth factor Beta 1 (TGF-ß1)-loaded-microsphere, glass ionomer cement (GIC), Bio-GIC and liposome, 4) TGF-ß1-loaded-nanoparticles/scaffold, 5) Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-loaded-fiber and hydrogel, 6) TGF-ß1/VEGF-loaded-nanocrystalline calcium sulfate/hydroxyapatite/calcium sulfate, 7) Epidermal growth factor-loaded- nanosphere, 8) Stem cell factor/DSCs-loaded-hydrogel and Silk fibroin, 9) VEGF/BMP-2/DSCs-loaded-Three-dimensional matrix, 10) VEGF/DSCs-loaded-microsphere/hydrogel, and 11) BMP-2/DSCs and VEGF/DSCs-loaded-Collagen matrices. The included delivery systems showed viability, except for Bio-GIC on day 3. The choice of specific growth factors and delivery systems (i.e., BMP-2-loaded-microsphere and VEGF-loaded-hydrogel) resulted in a greater gene expression. CONCLUSIONS This study, with low-level evidence obtained from ex vivo studies, suggests that growth factor delivery systems induce cell proliferation, mineralization, and differentiation toward a therapeutic potential in regenerative endodontics.

Abstract
Tooth decay, which leads to pulpal inflammation due to the pulp's response to bacterial components and byproducts is the most common infectious disease. The main goals of clinical management are to eliminate sources of infection, to facilitate healing by regulating inflammation indental tissue, and to replace lost tissues. A variety of novel approaches from tissue engineering based on stem cells, bioactive molecules, and extracellular matrix-like scaffold structures to therapeutic applications, or a combination of all these are present in the literature. Shortcomings of existing conventional materials for pulp capping and the novel approches aiming to preserve pulp vitality highligted the need for developing new targeted dental materials. This review looks at the novel approches for vital pulp treatments after briefly addresing the conventional vital pulp treatment as well as the regenerative and self defense capabilities of the pulp. A narrative review focusing on the current and future approaches for pulp preservation was performed after surveying the relevant papers on vital pulp therapies including pulp capping, pulpotomy, and potential approaches for facilitating dentin-pulp complex regeneration in PubMed, Medline, and Scopus databases.

Abstract
This opinion-led review paper highlights the need for novel translational research in vital-pulp-treatment (VPT), but also discusses the challenges in translating evidence to clinics. Traditional dentistry is expensive, invasive and relies on an outmoded mechanical understanding of dental disease, rather than employing a biological perspective that harnesses cell activity and the regenerative-capacity. Recent research has focussed on developing minimally-invasive biologically-based 'fillings' that preserve the dental pulp; research that is shifting the paradigm from expensive high-technology dentistry, with high failure rates, to smart restorations targeted at biological processes. Current VPTs promote repair by recruiting odontoblast-like cells in a material-dependent process. Therefore, exciting opportunities exist for development of next-generation biomaterials targeted at regenerative processes in the dentin-pulp complex. This article analyses recent research using pharmacological-inhibitors to therapeutically-target histone-deacetylase (HDAC) enzymes in dental-pulp-cells (DPCs) that stimulate pro-regenerative effects with limited loss of viability. Consequently, HDAC-inhibitors have the potential to enhance biomaterial-driven tissue responses at low concentration by influencing the cellular processes with minimal side-effects, providing an opportunity to develop a topically-placed, inexpensive bio-inductive pulp-capping material. Despite positive results, clinical translation of these innovations requires enterprise to counteract regulatory obstacles, dental-industry priorities and to develop strong academic/industry partnerships. The aim of this opinion-led review paper is to discuss the potential role of therapeutically-targeting epigenetic modifications as part of a topical VPT strategy in the treatment of the damaged dental pulp, while considering the next steps, material considerations, challenges and future for the clinical development of epigenetic therapeutics or other 'smart' restorations in VPT.

Chronic exposure to lipopolysaccharides as an in vitro model to simulate the impaired odontogenic potential of dental pulp cells under pulpitis conditions. J Appl Oral Sci 2023; 31:e20230032. [PMID: 37493701 PMCID: PMC10382076 DOI: 10.1590/1678-7757-2023-0032] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2023] [Accepted: 06/16/2023] [Indexed: 07/27/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Simulating a bacterial-induced pulpitis environment in vitro may contribute to exploring mechanisms and bioactive molecules to counteract these adverse effects. OBJECTIVE To investigate the chronic exposure of human dental pulp cells (HDPCs) to lipopolysaccharides (LPS) aiming to establish a cell culture protocol to simulate the impaired odontogenic potential under pulpitis conditions. METHODOLOGY HDPCs were isolated from four healthy molars of different donors and seeded in culture plates in a growth medium. After 24 h, the medium was changed to an odontogenic differentiation medium (DM) supplemented or not with E. coli LPS (0 - control, 0.1, 1, or 10 µg/mL) (n=8). The medium was renewed every two days for up to seven days, then replaced with LPS-free DM for up to 21 days. The activation of NF-κB and F-actin expression were assessed (immunofluorescence) after one and seven days. On day 7, cells were evaluated for both the gene expression (RT-qPCR) of odontogenic markers (COL1A1, ALPL, DSPP, and DMP1) and cytokines (TNF, IL1B, IL8, and IL6) and the production of reactive nitrogen (Griess) and oxygen species (Carboxy-H2DCFDA). Cell viability (alamarBlue) was evaluated weekly, and mineralization was assessed (Alizarin Red) at 14 and 21 days. Data were analyzed with ANOVA and post-hoc tests (α=5%). RESULTS After one and seven days of exposure to LPS, NF-κB was activated in a dose-dependent fashion. LPS at 1 and 10 µg/mL concentrations down-regulated the gene expression of odontogenic markers and up-regulated cytokines. LPS at 10 µg/mL increased both the production of reactive nitrogen and oxygen species. LPS decreased cell viability seven days after the end of exposure. LPS at 1 and 10 µg/mL decreased hDPCs mineralization in a dose-dependent fashion. CONCLUSION The exposure to 10 µg/mL LPS for seven days creates an inflammatory environment that is able to impair by more than half the odontogenic potential of HDPCs in vitro, simulating a pulpitis-like condition.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To study the odontogenic potential of dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) after induction with three different bioactive materials: activa bioactive (base/liner) (AB), TheraCal LC (TC), and mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), when combined with two different types of scaffolds. METHODS DPSCs were isolated from freshly extracted premolars of young orthodontic patients, cultured, expanded to passage 4 (P), and characterized by flow cytometric analysis. DPSCs were seeded onto two scaffolds in contact with different materials (AB, TC, and MTA). The first scaffold contained polycaprolactone-nano-chitosan and synthetic hydroxyapatite (PCL-NC-HA), whereas the second scaffold contained polycaprolactone-nano-chitosan and synthetic Mg-substituted hydroxyapatite (PCL-NC-Mg-HA). DPSC viability and proliferation were evaluated at various time points. To assess odontoblastic differentiation, gene expression analysis of dentin sialophosphoprotein (DSPP) by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and morphological changes in cells were performed using inverted microscope phase contrast images and scanning electron microscopy. The fold-change in DSPP between subgroups was compared using a one-way ANOVA. Tukey's test was used to compare the fold-change in DSPP between the two subgroups in multiple comparisons, and P was set at p < 0.05. RESULTS DSPP expression was significantly higher in the PCL-NC-Mg-HA group than in the PCL-NC-HA group, and scanning electron microscopy revealed a strong attachment of odontoblast-like cells to the scaffold that had a stronger odontogenic differentiation effect on DPSCs than the scaffold that did not contain magnesium. MTA has a significantly higher odontogenic differentiation effect on cultured DPSCs than AB or TC does. The combination of scaffolds and bioactive materials improves DPSCs induction in odontoblast-like cells. CONCLUSIONS The PCL-NC-Mg-HA scaffold showed better odontogenic differentiation effects on cultured DPSCs. Compared to AB and TC, MTA is the most effective bioactive material for inducing the odontogenic differentiation of cultured DPSCs.

Abstract
Electrospun multilayer nanofibers guided bone regeneration (GBR) with a new design were developed in this study. The synthesized multilayer GBR was composed of two distinct layers. Poly l-lactic acid (PLA) incorporated with simvastatin (SIM) was designed as PLA/SIM layer to contact with a bone defect. In addition, the hydrophilic gelatin (GT) containing thymol (THY) was fabricated as GT/THY layer to contact connective tissue, potentially for bacterial gathering. Due to the different chemical nature and weak cohesion of the hydrophilic and hydrophobic layers, hybrid fibers made of PLA/SIM and GT/THY were electrospun as cohesion promoters between these layers. The microstructure and characteristics of the synthesized multilayer substrate, named GT/PLA, were evaluated, and different fibrous monolayers were fabricated to determine the optimal concentrations of drugs. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images showed continuous, smooth, randomly aligned, and bead-free fibers. In addition, there were no drug particles on the fiber surfaces which displayed the good placement of those inside the fibers. The mats exhibited satisfactory tensile strength (4.60 ± 0.14 MPa) and favorable physicochemical properties, including proper porosity percentage (<50 %) and appropriate pore size. Suitable swelling behavior (293 ± 0.05 %) and adequate degradation rates were also approved by characterizing swelling and degradability in vitro. The GT/PLA membrane exhibited a prolonged and sustained SIM release and controlled THY release with high antibacterial efficiency. Cell viability, cell attachment assay, and nuclear staining using 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) showed that the designed GT/PLA substrate had good biocompatibility and cell attachment. Cell infiltration testing also showed that the cells were finely prevented by the outer layer (GT/THY). Overall, the obtained results in this study indicated the great potential of the prepared GT/PLA for use as a GBR which can develop osteogenic and antibacterial biomimetic periosteum optimizing the clinical application of GBR strategies.

Effect of HM-Exos on the migration and inflammatory response of LPS-exposed dental pulp stem cells. BMC Oral Health 2023; 23:95. [PMID: 36788505 PMCID: PMC9926843 DOI: 10.1186/s12903-023-02796-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2022] [Accepted: 02/07/2023] [Indexed: 02/16/2023] Open
Abstract
AIM The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of human milk exosomes (HM-Exos) on the viability, migration, and inflammatory responses of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-exposed human dental pulp stem cells (HDPSCs) in vitro. METHODS HM-Exos were isolated, and dynamic light scattering (DLS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to analyze their physical properties (size and shape). To construct an in vitro inflammation model, HDPSCs were exposed to LPS. The MTT test and migration assay were used to investigate the effect of HM-Exos on cell proliferation and migration, and the quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) was used to assess the expression of inflammatory genes in HDPSCs. Data were analyzed using a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with Tukey's post-test. RESULTS DLS measurement revealed that HM-Exos were 116.8 ± 3.6 nm in diameter. The SEM and TEM images revealed spherical shapes with diameters of 97.2 ± 34.6 nm. According to the results of the cell viability assay, the nontoxic concentration of HM-Exos (200 µg/ml) was chosen for the subsequent investigations. The migration assay results showed that HM-Exos improved the potential of LPS-exposed HDPSCs to migrate. The qPCR results indicated that HM-Exos significantly reduced the expression of inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 in HDPSCs after LPS stimulation. CONCLUSIONS HM-Exos increased LPS-exposed HDPSCs migration and proliferation and reduced gene expression of inflammatory cytokines. They may be a viable candidate for pulpitis therapy.

Abstract
Dental pulp and periapical diseases make patients suffer from acute pain and economic loss. Although root canal therapies, as demonstrated through evidence-based medicine, can relieve symptoms and are commonly employed by dentists, it is still difficult to fully restore a dental pulp's nutrition, sensory, and immune-regulation functions. In recent years, researchers have made significant progress in tissue engineering to regenerate dental pulp in a desired microenvironment. With breakthroughs in regenerative medicine and material science, bioactive scaffolds play a pivotal role in creating a suitable microenvironment for cell survival, proliferation, and differentiation, following dental restoration and regeneration. This article focuses on current challenges and novel perspectives about bioactive scaffolds in creating a microenvironment to promote dental pulp regeneration. We hope our readers will gain a deeper understanding and new inspiration of dental pulp regeneration through our summary.

Abstract
Dental caries and traumatic injuries to teeth may cause irreversible inflammation and eventual death of the dental pulp. Nevertheless, predictably, repair and regeneration of the dentin-pulp complex remain a formidable challenge. In recent years, smart multifunctional materials with antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and pro-regenerative properties have emerged as promising approaches to meet this critical clinical need. As a unique class of smart materials, piezoelectric materials have an unprecedented advantage over other stimuli-responsive materials due to their inherent capability to generate electric charges, which have been shown to facilitate both antimicrobial action and tissue regeneration. Nonetheless, studies on piezoelectric biomaterials in the repair and regeneration of the dentin-pulp complex remain limited. In this review, we summarize the biomedical applications of piezoelectric biomaterials in dental applications and elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms contributing to the biological effect of piezoelectricity. Moreover, we highlight how this state-of-the-art can be further exploited in the future for dental tissue engineering.

Abstract
Untreated dental caries, tooth trauma and dental anatomical variations such as dens invaginatus can result in pulpitis. However, standard root canal therapy cannot treat immature permanent teeth due to an open apical foramen and thin dentinal walls. Thus, regenerative endodontics treatment (RET) following a disinfection step with pulp regeneration has been developed. Pulp connective-tissue, dentin formation, revascularization and reinnervation can occur in this procedure which should be supplemented with intelligent biomaterials to improve repeatability and support well-coordinated regeneration. Furthermore, nanofibrous scaffolds, as one of the most commonly used materials, show promise. The purpose of this article is to highlight the advantages of nanofibrous scaffolds and discuss the future modification and application of them.

Abstract
Clinical treatment of inflamed tooth pulp mostly involves the removal of the entire pulp tissue. Because the vitality of the tooth is important for its ability to function, optimal regenerative biomaterials must be developed to maintain the vitality. Despite vast advances in the field of endodontics, the clinical translation of regenerative endodontic procedures and materials remains challenging. Patient-specific, tissue-derived stem cells play a major role in regeneration and revascularization, and these stem cells require an infection-free environment for a successful outcome. However, the high doses of antibiotics currently used to maintain an infection-free environment for tissue regeneration can be toxic for the stem cells. The introduction of nanotechnology in the field of regenerative procedures has overcome these issues and demonstrated promising results. Nanoparticles can be used to deliver antibiotics at very low doses owing to their small size, thereby enhancing antimicrobial activity and reducing the cytotoxic effect. Additionally, nanofibrous scaffolds provide an environment that is favorable for stem-cell migration and proliferation, thereby favoring the regeneration of the pulp-dentin complex. Nanotechnology can be used in the construction of nanofibrous scaffolds incorporated with different bioactive nanoparticles for favorable clinical outcomes. Nonetheless, the role of nanotechnology and the controlled release of various bioactive nanomolecules enhancing stem cell proliferation and regeneration of true pulp-dentin complex remains poorly understood. Given the importance of nanotechnology in tissue regeneration, this review provides an overview of the potential applications of nanotechnology in tooth pulp-dentin regeneration.

Abstract
The state-of-the-art approach to regenerating different tissues and organs is tissue engineering which includes the three parts of stem cells (SCs), scaffolds, and growth factors. Cellular behaviors such as propagation, differentiation, and assembling the extracellular matrix (ECM) are influenced by the cell's microenvironment. Imitating the cell's natural environment, such as scaffolds, is vital to create appropriate tissue. Craniofacial tissue engineering refers to regenerating tissues found in the brain and the face parts such as bone, muscle, and artery. More biocompatible and biodegradable scaffolds are more commensurate with tissue remodeling and more appropriate for cell culture, signaling, and adhesion. Synthetic materials play significant roles and have become more prevalent in medical applications. They have also been used in different forms for producing a microenvironment as ECM for cells. Synthetic scaffolds may be comprised of polymers, bioceramics, or hybrids of natural/synthetic materials. Synthetic scaffolds have produced ECM-like materials that can properly mimic and regulate the tissue microenvironment's physical, mechanical, chemical, and biological properties, manage adherence of biomolecules and adjust the material's degradability. The present review article is focused on synthetic materials used in craniofacial tissue engineering in recent decades.

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
BACKGROUND This study aims to compare cytotoxicity and induced apoptosis of a new bioceramic cement containing different concentrations of simvastatin on stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED). MATERIALS AND METHODS This research was an in vitro study. To evaluate the cytotoxicity and induced apoptosis of the bioceramic cement containing different concentrations of simvastatin, the SHED were exposed to the cement during 1, 3, and 7 days. Pure bioceramic cement and pure simvastatin with concentrations of 1, 0.1, and 0.01 μM were also tested to evaluate the possible synergic effect. Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) as the gold standard of pulp dressing materials was compared. MTT assay and Annexin V assay were used to evaluate cytotoxicity and induced apoptosis, respectively. The data were analyzed using ANOVA and Tukey post hoc tests at the significance level of 0.05. RESULTS During 7 days, MTA, bioceramic cement, simvastatin 0.1 and 0.01 μM, and bioceramic cement containing 0.1 and 0.01 μM simvastatin increased (P < 0.05) and simvastatin with concentration of 1 μM decreased the cell viability (P < 0.05). Except for MTA and bioceramic cement containing 0.1 and 0.01 μM simvastatin, all other compounds induced apoptosis within 7 days (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION After 7 days, the viability of the SHED in the presence of a new bioceramic cement containing 0.1 and 0.01 μM simvastatin was not compromised. Moreover, this cement showed superior results than MTA and provided an environment for cell proliferation. This finding appears to be due to the pharmacological effects of low concentrations of simvastatin.

Abstract
Endodontics has made significant progress in regenerative approaches in recent years, thanks to advances in biologically based procedures or regenerative endodontic therapy (RET). In recent years, our profession has witnessed a clear conceptual shift in this therapy. RET was initially based on a blood clot induced by apical bleeding without harvesting the patient’s cells or cell-free RET. Later, the RET encompassed the three principles of tissue engineering, stromal/stem cells, scaffolds, and growth factors, aiming for the regeneration of a functional dentin pulp complex. The regenerated dental pulp will recover the protective mechanisms including innate immunity, tertiary dentin formation, and pain sensitivity. This comprehensive review covers the basic knowledge and practical information for translational applications of stem cell-based RET and tissue engineering procedures for the regeneration of dental pulp. It will also provide overall information on the emerging technologies in biological and synthetic matrices, biomaterials, and signaling molecules, recent advances in stem cell therapy, and updated experimental results. This review brings useful and timely clinical evidence for practitioners to understand the challenges faced for a successful cell-based RET and the importance of preserving or reestablishing tooth vitality. The clinical translation of these current bioengineering approaches will undoubtedly be beneficial to the future practice of endodontics.

Abstract
Background. The bond strength of the materials used as a cervical barrier in the pulp regeneration is essential for the success of treatment. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of triple antibiotic paste (TAP), double antibiotic paste (DAP), and simvastatin as intracanal medicaments on the dislodgement resistance of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and calcium-enriched mixture (CEM). Methods. A total of 160 extracted human single-rooted teeth were selected, and root canal preparation was carried out. The teeth in each group were randomly divided into four subgroups: TAP, DAP, simvastatin, and the control group (without intracanal medicament). Four weeks after placing the medicaments, it was removed by sodium hypochlorite, and MTA and CEM were placed in the coronal third of the root canals. After a week, 2-mm-thick dentin disks were prepared from the coronal third of the roots, and the push-out test was performed using a universal testing machine. The data were analyzed using two-way ANOVA and independent t-test at a significance level of 0.05. Results. Regardless of the intracanal medicament, there was no significant difference between the overall bond strength of MTA (59.3±10 MPa) and CEM (55.8±11 MPa) (P=0.6). Furthermore, there were no significant differences in bond strength between the two intracanal medicament groups and the control group (P>0.05). Conclusion. Under the limitations of the current study, DAP, simvastatin, and TAP, as intracanal medicaments, did not adversely affect the push-out bond strength of CEM and MTA.

Sphingosine-1-phosphate hinders the osteogenic differentiation of dental pulp stem cells in association with AKT signaling pathways. Int J Oral Sci 2022; 14:21.

Abstract
Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is an important lipid mediator that regulates a diverse range of intracellular cell signaling pathways that are relevant to tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. However, the precise function of S1P in dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) and its osteogenic differentiation remains unclear. We here investigated the function of S1P/S1P receptor (S1PR)-mediated cellular signaling in the osteogenic differentiation of DPSCs and clarified the fundamental signaling pathway. Our results showed that S1P-treated DPSCs exhibited a low rate of differentiation toward the osteogenic phenotype in association with a marked reduction in osteogenesis-related gene expression and AKT activation. Of note, both S1PR1/S1PR3 and S1PR2 agonists significantly downregulated the expression of osteogenic genes and suppressed AKT activation, resulting in an attenuated osteogenic capacity of DPSCs. Most importantly, an AKT activator completely abrogated the S1P-mediated downregulation of osteoblastic markers and partially prevented S1P-mediated attenuation effects during osteogenesis. Intriguingly, the pro-inflammatory TNF-α cytokine promoted the infiltration of macrophages toward DPSCs and induced S1P production in both DPSCs and macrophages. Our findings indicate that the elevation of S1P under inflammatory conditions suppresses the osteogenic capacity of the DPSCs responsible for regenerative endodontics.

Characterization of Biological Properties of Dental Pulp Stem Cells Grown on an Electrospun Poly(l-lactide- co-caprolactone) Scaffold. MATERIALS 2022; 15:ma15051900.

Abstract
Poly(l-lactide-co-caprolactone) (PLCL) electrospun scaffolds with seeded stem cells have drawn great interest in tissue engineering. This study investigated the biological behavior of human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) grown on a hydrolytically-modified PLCL nanofiber scaffold. The hDPSCs were seeded on PLCL, and their biological features such as viability, proliferation, adhesion, population doubling time, the immunophenotype of hDPSCs and osteogenic differentiation capacity were evaluated on scaffolds. The results showed that the PLCL scaffold significantly supported hDPSC viability/proliferation. The hDPSCs adhesion rate and spreading onto PLCL increased with time of culture. hDPSCs were able to migrate inside the PLCL electrospun scaffold after 7 days of seeding. No differences in morphology and immunophenotype of hDPSCs grown on PLCL and in flasks were observed. The mRNA levels of bone-related genes and their proteins were significantly higher in hDPSCs after osteogenic differentiation on PLCL compared with undifferentiated hDPSCs on PLCL. These results showed that the mechanical properties of a modified PLCL mat provide an appropriate environment that supports hDPSCs attachment, proliferation, migration and their osteogenic differentiation on the PLCL scaffold. The good PLCL biocompatibility with dental pulp stem cells indicates that this mat may be applied in designing a bioactive hDPSCs/PLCL construct for bone tissue engineering.

Mineral-induced bubbling effect and biomineralization as strategies to create highly porous and bioactive scaffolds for dentin tissue engineering.

Abstract
The objective of the study was to assess the biological and mechanical characteristics of chitosan-based scaffolds enriched by mineral phases and biomineralized in simulated body fluid (SBF) as a possible biomaterial for dentin regeneration. Thus, porous chitosan scaffolds were prepared by the mineral-induced bubbling-effect technique and subjected to biomineralization to create biomimetic scaffolds for dentin tissue engineering. Suspensions containing calcium hydroxide, nanohydroxyapatite, or β-tricalcium phosphate were added to the chitosan (CH) solution and subjected to gradual freezing and freeze-drying to obtain CHCa, CHnHA, and CHβTCP porous scaffolds, respectively, by the bubbling effect. Then, scaffolds were incubated in SBF for 5 days at 37°C, under constant stirring, to promote calcium-phosphate (CaP) biomineralization. Scanning electron microscopy revealed increased pore size and porosity degree on mineral-containing scaffolds, with CHCa and CHnHA presenting as round, well-distributed, and with an interconnected pore network. Nevertheless, incubation in SBF disrupted the porous architecture, except for CHCaSBF , leading to the deposition of CaP coverage, confirmed by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy analyses. All mineral-containing and SBF-treated formulations presented controlled degradation profiles and released calcium throughout 28 days. When human dental pulp cells (HDPCs) were seeded onto scaffold structures, the porous and interconnected architecture of CHCa, CHnHA, and CHCaSBF allowed cells to infiltrate and spread throughout the scaffold structure, whereas in other formulations cells were dispersed or agglomerated. It was possible to determine a positive effect on cell proliferation and odontogenic differentiation for mineral-containing formulations, intensely improved by biomineralization. A significant increase in mineralized matrix deposition (by 8.4 to 18.9 times) was observed for CHCaSBF , CHnHASBF , and CHβTCPSBF in comparison with plain CH. The bioactive effect on odontoblastic marker expression (ALP activity and mineralized matrix) was also observed for HDPCs continuously cultivated with conditioned medium obtained from scaffolds. Therefore, biomineralization of chitosan scaffolds containing different mineral phases was responsible for increasing the capacity for mineralized matrix deposition by pulpal cells, with potential for use in dentin tissue engineering.

[PMID: 35053286 PMCID: PMC8774278 DOI: 10.3390/biom12010138] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2021] [Revised: 01/09/2022] [Accepted: 01/11/2022] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is widely used for induction of inflammation in various human tissues, including dental pulp. The purpose of this study was to summarize current medical literature focusing on (1) cell types used by researchers to simulate dental pulp inflammation, (2) LPS variants utilized in experimental settings and how these choices affect the findings. Our study was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). We searched for studies reporting outcomes of lipopolysaccharide application on dental pulp cells in vitro using electronic databases: MEDLINE, Web of Science and Scopus. Having gathered data from 115 papers, we aimed to present all known effects LPS has on different cell types present in dental pulp. We focused on specific receptors and particles that are involved in molecular pathways. Our review provides an essential foundation for further research using in vitro models of pulpitis.

Abstract
Dental stem cells can differentiate into different types of cells. Dental pulp stem cells, stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth, periodontal ligament stem cells, stem cells from apical papilla, and dental follicle progenitor cells are five different types of dental stem cells that have been identified during different stages of tooth development. The availability of dental stem cells from discarded or removed teeth makes them promising candidates for tissue engineering. In recent years, three-dimensional (3D) tissue scaffolds have been used to reconstruct and restore different anatomical defects. With rapid advances in 3D tissue engineering, dental stem cells have been used in the regeneration of 3D engineered tissue. This review presents an overview of different types of dental stem cells used in 3D tissue regeneration, which are currently the most common type of stem cells used to treat human tissue conditions.

Abstract
Engineering multifunctional hydrogel systems capable of amplifying the regenerative capacity of endogenous progenitor cells via localized presentation of therapeutics under tissue inflammation is central to the translation of effective strategies for hard tissue regeneration. Here, we loaded dexamethasone (DEX), a pleotropic drug with anti-inflammatory and mineralizing abilities, into aluminosilicate clay nanotubes (halloysite clay nanotubes (HNTs)) to engineer an injectable multifunctional drug delivery system based on photo-cross-linkable gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) hydrogel. In detail, a series of hydrogels based on GelMA formulations containing distinct amounts of DEX-loaded nanotubes was analyzed for physicochemical and mechanical properties and kinetics of DEX release as well as compatibility with mesenchymal stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHEDs). The anti-inflammatory response and mineralization potential of the engineered hydrogels were determined in vitro and in vivo. DEX conjugation with HNTs was confirmed by FTIR analysis. The incorporation of DEX-loaded nanotubes enhanced the mechanical strength of GelMA with no effect on its degradation and swelling ratio. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images demonstrated the porous architecture of GelMA, which was not significantly altered by DEX-loaded nanotubes' (HNTs/DEX) incorporation. All GelMA formulations showed cytocompatibility with SHEDs (p < 0.05) regardless of the presence of HNTs or HNTs/DEX. However, the highest osteogenic cell differentiation was noticed with the addition of HNT/DEX 10% in GelMA formulations (p < 0.01). The controlled release of DEX over 7 days restored the expression of alkaline phosphatase and mineralization (p < 0.0001) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated SHEDs in vitro. Importantly, in vivo data revealed that DEX-loaded nanotube-modified GelMA (5.0% HNT/DEX 10%) led to enhanced bone formation after 6 weeks (p < 0.0001) compared to DEX-free formulations with a minimum localized inflammatory response after 7 days. Altogether, our findings show that the engineered DEX-loaded nanotube-modified hydrogel may possess great potential to trigger in situ mineralized tissue regeneration under inflammatory conditions.

Biol Proced Online 2021; 23:18. [PMID: 34521356 PMCID: PMC8442352 DOI: 10.1186/s12575-021-00155-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2021] [Accepted: 08/19/2021] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND In the area of oral and maxillofacial surgery, regenerative endodontics aims to present alternative options to conventional treatment strategies. With continuous advances in regenerative medicine, the source of cells used for pulp tissue regeneration is not only limited to mesenchymal stem cells as the non-mesenchymal stem cells have shown capabilities too. In this review, we are systematically assessing the recent findings on odontoblastic differentiation induction with scaffold and non-scaffold approaches. METHODS A comprehensive search was conducted in Pubmed, and Scopus, and relevant studies published between 2015 and 2020 were selected following the PRISMA guideline. The main inclusion criteria were that articles must be revolving on method for osteoblast differentiation in vitro study. Therefore, in vivo and human or animal clinical studies were excluded. The search outcomes identified all articles containing the word "odontoblast", "differentiation", and "mesenchymal stem cell". RESULTS The literature search identified 99 related studies, but only 11 articles met the inclusion criteria. These include 5 odontoblastic differentiation induction with scaffold, 6 inductions without scaffolds. The data collected were characterised into two main categories: type of cells undergo odontoblastic differentiation, and odontoblastic differentiation techniques using scaffolds or non-scaffold. CONCLUSION Based on the data analysis, the scaffold-based odontoblastic induction method seems to be a better option compared to the non-scaffold method. In addition of that, the combination of growth factors in scaffold-based methods could possibly enhance the differentiation. Thus, further detailed studies are still required to understand the mechanism and the way to enhance odontoblastic differentiation.

Abstract
Teeth are complex structures where a soft dental pulp tissue is enriched with nerves, vasculature and connective tissue and encased by the cushioning effect of dentin and the protection of a hard enamel in the crown and cementum in the root. Injuries such as trauma or caries can jeopardise these layers of protection and result in pulp exposure, inflammation and infection. Provision of most suitable materials for tooth repair upon injury has been the motivation of dentistry for many decades. Wnt signalling, an evolutionarily conserved pathway, plays key roles during pre- and post-natal development of many organs including the tooth. Mutations in the components of this pathway gives rise to various types of developmental tooth anomalies. Wnt signalling is also fundamental in the response of odontoblasts to injury and repair processes. The complexity of tooth structure has resulted in diverse studies looking at specific compartments or cell types of this organ. This review looks at the current advances in the field of tooth development and regeneration. The objective of the present review is to provide an updated vision on dental biomaterials research, focusing on their biological properties and interactions to act as evidence for their potential use in vital pulp treatment procedures. We discuss the outstanding questions and future directions to make this knowledge more translatable to the clinics.

Abstract
The development of biomaterials based on the combination of biopolymers with bioactive compounds to develop delivery systems capable of modulating dentin regeneration mediated by resident cells is the goal of current biology-based strategies for regenerative dentistry. In this article, the bioactive potential of a simvastatin (SV)-releasing chitosan-calcium-hydroxide (CH-Ca) scaffold was assessed. After the incorporation of SV into CH-Ca, characterization of the scaffold was performed. Dental pulp cells (DPCs) were seeded onto scaffolds for the assessment of cytocompatibility, and odontoblastic differentiation was evaluated in a microenvironment surrounded by dentin. Thereafter, the cell-free scaffold was adapted to dentin discs positioned in artificial pulp chambers in direct contact with a 3-dimensional (3D) culture of DPCs, and the system was sealed to simulate internal pressure at 20 cm/H2O. In vivo experiments with cell-free scaffolds were performed in rats' calvaria defects. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy spectra proved incorporation of Ca and SV into the scaffold structure. Ca and SV were released upon immersion in a neutral environment. Viable DPCs were able to spread and proliferate on the scaffold over 14 d. Odontoblastic differentiation occurred in the DPC/scaffold constructs in contact with dentin, in which SV supplementation promoted odontoblastic marker overexpression and enhanced mineralized matrix deposition. The chemoattractant potential of the CH-Ca scaffold was improved by SV, with numerous viable and dentin sialoprotein-positive cells from the 3D culture being observed on its surface. Cells at 3D culture featured increased gene expression of odontoblastic markers in contact with the SV-enriched CH-Ca scaffold. CH-Ca-SV led to intense mineralization in vivo, presenting mineralization foci inside its structure. In conclusion, the CH-Ca-SV scaffold induces differentiation of DPCs into a highly mineralizing phenotype in the presence of dentin, creating a microenvironment capable of attracting pulp cells to its surface and inducing the overexpression of odontoblastic markers in a cell-homing strategy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this review is to highlight recent progress in the field of biomaterials-mediated dental pulp tissue engineering. Specifically, we aim to underscore the critical design criteria of biomaterial platforms that are advantageous for pulp tissue engineering, discuss models for preclinical evaluation, and present new and innovative multifunctional strategies that hold promise for clinical translation. MATERIALS AND METHODS The current article is a comprehensive overview of recent progress over the last 5 years. In detail, we surveyed the literature in regenerative pulp biology, including novel biologic and biomaterials approaches, and those that combined multiple strategies, towards more clinically relevant models. PubMed searches were performed using the keywords: "regenerative dentistry," "dental pulp regeneration," "regenerative endodontics," and "dental pulp therapy." RESULTS Significant contributions to the field of regenerative dentistry have been made in the last 5 years, as evidenced by a significant body of publications. We chose exemplary studies that we believe are progressive towards clinically translatable solutions. We close this review with an outlook towards the future of pulp regeneration strategies and their clinical translation. CONCLUSIONS Current clinical treatments lack functional and predictable pulp regeneration and are more focused on the treatment of the consequences of pulp exposure, rather than the restoration of healthy dental pulp. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Clinically, there is great demand for bioinspired biomaterial strategies that are safe, efficacious, and easy to use, and clinicians are eager for their clinical translation. In particular, we place emphasis on strategies that combine favorable angiogenesis, mineralization, and functional tissue formation, while limiting immune reaction, risk of microbial infection, and pulp necrosis.

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
OBJECTIVES Although integrins have been shown to be associated with proliferation and differentiation in some stem cells, the regulatory effect of integrin α6 (ITGα6) on the human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) has not been reported. Here, we detected the roles of ITGα6 in hDPSCs. MATERIALS AND METHODS Attached to Cytodex 3 microcarriers, hDPSCs grown under stimulated microgravity (SMG) or conventional culture conditions were measured the proliferation and different gene expression. Further, ITGα6 was silenced in hDPSCs, and its effect on proliferation, differentiation, and cytoskeletal organization was analyzed. RESULTS SMG conditions increased the number of Ki67-positive hDPSCs and progression into S phase of cell cycle. WB analysis showed the expression of ITGα6 was upregulated in hDPSCs under SMG conditions. Knockdown of ITGα6 decreased the expression of stemness markers, CD105 and STRO-1 in hDPSCs, but promoted the osteogenic and odontogenic differentiation by increased ALP expression and Alizarin Red nodules. Moreover, RNA-seq demonstrated that RHO/ROCK signaling pathway upregulated silencing ITGα6-hDPSCs. Treatment with Y-27632 inhibited the effect of ITGα6 depletion on hDPSCs stemness, rearranged the cytoskeleton, promoted the pluripotency, proliferation ability, and inhibited the differentiation. CONCLUSION ITGα6 promotes hDPSCs stemness via inhibiting RHO/ROCK and restoring cytoskeleton.

Abstract
The benefits of using a surgical microscope in periodontal therapy were mainly based on subjective statements made by patients or periodontists. We aimed to provide laboratory evidence for the advantages of using a surgical microscope during root scaling on periodontitis teeth. In the present study, the extracted teeth were categorized into four groups: normal teeth (normal control [NC] group), untreated periodontitis teeth (periodontitis control [PC] group), root surface scaled without magnification (macro group), and root surface instrumented with a microscope (micro group). To analyze both the mechanical and biological properties of the root surfaces, we performed nanoindentation in addition to the traditional methods. We found that by using a surgical microscope, we improved the clearance of bacterial deposits and calculi on periodontitis root surfaces. Nanoindentation results revealed that the nanotopography pattern, elastic modulus, and nanohardness of the root surface in the micro group were closest to those in the NC group. The immunofluorescence assay and cell proliferation analyses revealed improved morphology and enhanced adhesion and proliferation of periodontal ligament cells on the root surface in the micro group compared with the macro group. After instrumentation, the expression levels of interleukin-6 and interleukin-8 decreased when compared with the PC group. Our results demonstrated that surgical microscope application could improve the outcomes of periodontal treatment, implying that a surgical microscope can be a powerful tool for periodontists to seek accurate clinical periodontal performance and gain better biocompatibility of the treated root surfaces.

Abstract
Simvastatin (SV) is an often prescribed statin reducing the LDL-concentration in circulating blood. The aim of this study was to evaluate the pleiotropic effects of SV to primary human odontoblast-like cells. Twenty four wisdom teeth of different subjects were extracted and the pulp tissue was removed and minced under sterile conditions. After mincing, the requested cells were passaged according to established protocols. Osteoblastic marker (ALP conversion), viability and mineralization were determined at days 14, 17 and 21 after simvastatin exposition (0.01 µM, 0.1 µM, 1.0 µM, 2.0 µM). The sample size per group was 24 cultures with three replicates per culture for ALP-conversion and mineralization and 6 replicates for viability. A Kruskal–Wallis test was used for statistical analysis. After adding SV, viability was significantly (p < 0.01) decreased in a time- and dose-dependent manner, whereas after 21 days, mineralization was significant (p < 0.01). ALP-conversion in groups with SV concentrations of 1 and 2 µM SV was significantly (p < 0.01) increased. Pleiotropic effects regarding mineralization in higher SV concentrations were possibly induced via alternative mineralization pathways as almost equal elevations of ALP conversion were not evident in the control and experimental groups.

Abstract
The present study evaluated the odontogenic potential of human dental pulp cells (HDPCs) exposed to chitosan scaffolds containing calcium aluminate (CHAlCa) associated or not with low doses of simvastatin (SV). Chitosan scaffolds received a suspension of calcium aluminate (AlCa) and were then immersed into solutions containing SV. The following groups were established: chitosan-calcium-aluminate scaffolds (CHAlCa - Control), chitosan calcium-aluminate with 0.5 µM SV (CHAlCa-SV0.5), and chitosan calcium-aluminate with 1.0 µM SV (CHAlCa-SV1.0). The morphology and composition of the scaffolds were evaluated by SEM and EDS, respectively. After 14 days of HDPCs culture on scaffolds, cell viability, adhesion and spread, mineralized matrix deposition as well as gene expression of odontogenic markers were assessed. Calcium aluminate particles were incorporated into the chitosan matrix, which exhibited regular pores homogeneously distributed throughout its structure. The selected SV dosages were biocompatible with HDPCs. Chitosan-calcium-aluminate scaffolds with 1 µM SV induced the odontoblastic phenotype in the HDPCs, which showed enhanced mineralized matrix deposition and up-regulated ALP, Col1A1, and DMP-1 expression. Therefore, one can conclude that the incorporation of calcium aluminate and simvastatin in chitosan scaffolds had a synergistic effect on HDPCs, favoring odontogenic cell differentiation and mineralized matrix deposition.

Abstract
Postmenopausal osteoporosis is a common chronic dynamic bone disorder, caused by estrogen deficiency. To address this issue, we constructed a controlled drug-release system composed of poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) brush modified mesoporous hydroxyapatite (MHA-SIM-P) loaded with simvastatin (SIM) using an ovariectomised (OVX) rat model. Quantitative alkaline phosphatase activity assay, alizarin red staining and RT-PCR were tested to evaluate the osteogenic ability in vitro. The results showed that the MHA-SIM-P nanoparticles significantly improved the osteogenic differentiation of OVX bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) in vitro. In osteoporotic animal model, the therapeutic efficiency for bone defect was evaluated by μCT analysis, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase, haematoxylin and eosin staining, which showed improved bone formation and less osteoclastic response in OVX rats after surgery for 3 and 6 weeks. This polymer brush modified MHA system provided a sustained release system of hydrophobic SIM to inhibit osteoporosis together with MHA nanoparticle promoting the osteogenesis. Thus, this novel strategy exhibited great potential for promoting osteogenic ability and treating local osteoporotic defects.

Abstract
Endodontic pathosis is preliminary caused by bacteria and their by-products that interact with pulpal and periradicular host tissues. The purge of the root canal system (RCS) from bacteria is a necessity for successful endodontic treatment. Different approaches have been considered to reduce the number of microorganisms and confront microbiota in the radicular area; namely chemomechanical preparation and intracanal medication. However, various studies have shown that, due to the intricate anatomy of RCS, bacteria can persist in distant areas and significantly decrease the degree of success in endodontic ministrations. Thereby, elimination of bacteria remains a challenge, specifically from the infectious root canals. In recent years, local drug delivery systems (LDDS), loaded with drugs and/or antibacterial agents, have been deliberated for the removal of microorganisms or as a medicinal adjunct to mechanical instrumentation. Owing to the resistant species and complexities in the structure of root canals, it seems that LDDS may be able to closely affect microorganisms and improve the success rate of endodontic treatment. Furthermore, they are capable of limiting drugs to RCS, and can achieve a more effective therapeutic dose/concentration in the target site. Furthermore, and due to successful outcomes, administration of LDDS has also been given great attention for regenerative purposes. Micro/nanoparticles, liposomes, nanofibers, sealers and so forth represent typical delivery systems used for endodontic treatments. This study addresses pivotal LDDS used in endodontics and their applications.

Int J Biochem Cell Biol 2019; 117:105628.

Abstract
Previously we have demonstrated that sclerostin inhibits stress-induced odontogenic differentiation of odontoblasts and accelerates senescence of dental pulp cells (DPCs) Odontoblasts and DPCs are main functioning cells for inflammation resistance and tissue regeneration in dentine-pulp complex. Sclerostin is relevant for systemic inflammation and chronic periodontitis processes, but its effects on dental pulp inflammation remains unclear. In this study, we found that sclerostin expression of odontoblasts was elevated in lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammatory environment, and exogenous sclerostin increased the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines in inflamed odontoblasts. Furthermore, sclerostin activated the NF-κB signaling pathway in inflamed odontoblasts and the NF-κB inhibitor reversed the exaggerative effects of sclerostin on the pro-inflammatory cytokines production. Additionally, sclerostin promoted adhesion and migration of inflamed DPCs, while inhibiting odontoblastic differentiation of inflamed DPCs. Sclerostin also might enhance pulpal angiogenesis. Taken together, it can therefore be inferred that sclerostin is upregulated in inflamed odontoblasts under pulpal inflammatory condition to enhance inflammatory responses in dentine-pulp complex and impair reparative dentinogenesis. This indicates that sclerostin inhibition might be a therapeutic target for anti-inflammation and pro-regeneration during dental pulp inflammation.

Abstract
Poly-l-lactic acid (PLLA) is widely used in clinic, for example, as biodegradable coronary artery stents. However, inflammatory responses in endothelial cells associated with PLLA degradation are relatively undefined. We previously reported inflammation in human aortic endothelial cells (HAEC) in vitro and in vivo. Here, we further assessed inflammatory injury, including cell migration, cell function, and inflammatory cytokines expressed in HAEC treated with PLLA and curcumin by CCK-8, wound healing assay, ELISA, and Western blot. Significant inhibition of cell migration, remarkable dysfunction, and inflammatory responses were found in HAEC treated with PLLA degradation extract, and these effects were alleviated by Cur treatment. These findings indicated that cautious evaluation of biodegradable polymers should be performed, and Cur represents a promising anti-inflammatory agent for alleviating endothelial dysfunction and inflammation caused by PLLA degradation. In addition, Cur should be further studied experimentally in in vivo experiments on animal models as a potential therapeutic to reduce thrombosis of biodegradable polymer stents.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study assessed the human pulp response after adhesive restoration of cavities by indirect pulp capping with a conventional or a resin-modified glass ionomer cement. MATERIALS AND METHODS Deep cavities prepared in 26 human premolars were lined with Riva Light Cure (Riva LC), Riva Self Cure (Riva SC), or Dycal, and then restored with composite resin. Four teeth were used as intact control. After time intervals of 7 or 30 days, the teeth were extracted, processed for histological evaluation of the pulp, and the remaining dentin thickness (RDT) between the cavity floor and the pulp was measured. RESULTS At 7 days, a slight pulp inflammation associated with discrete tissue disorganization was observed in most of t the teeth lined with Riva LC and Riva SC. Moderate pulp inflammation occurred in one tooth lined with Riva LC. Bacteria were identified in one specimen of the same group that exhibited no pulp damage. At 30 days, slight pulp inflammation and discrete tissue disorganization persisted in two specimens treated with Riva LC, in which a thin layer of tertiary dentin was deposited. Mean RDTs ranged from 383.0 to 447.8 μm. CONCLUSIONS Riva LC produced more damage to the pulp than Riva SC. However, the initial pulp damage decreased over time and after 30 days both GICs were labeled as biocompatible. CLINICAL RELEVANCE In this study conducted with human teeth, the conventional and the resin-modified glass ionomer cements investigated were shown not to cause post-operative sensitivity or persistent pulp damage when applied as liners in very deep cavities, thereby indicating their biocompatibility.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to develop a porous chitosan-calcium-aluminate scaffold (CH-AlCa) in combination with a bioactive dosage of 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1α,25VD), to be used as a bioactive substrate capable to increase the odontogenic potential of human dental pulp cells (HDPCs). MATERIALS AND METHODS The porous CH-AlCa was developed by the incorporation of an AlCa suspension into a CH solution under vigorous agitation, followed by phase separation at low temperature. Scaffold architecture, porosity, and calcium release were evaluated. Thereafter, the synergistic potential of CH-AlCa and 1 nM 1α,25VD, selected by a dose-response assay, for HDPCs seeded onto the materials was assessed. RESULTS The CH-AlCa featured an organized and interconnected pore network, with increased porosity in comparison with that of plain chitosan scaffolds (CH). Increased odontoblastic phenotype expression on the human dental pulp cell (HDPC)/CH and HDPC/CH-AlCa constructs in the presence of 1 nM 1α,25VD was detected, since alkaline phosphatase activity, mineralized matrix deposition, dentin sialophosphoprotein/dentin matrix acidic phosphoprotein 1 mRNA expression, and cell migration were overstimulated. This drug featured a synergistic effect with CH-AlCa, since the highest values of cell migration and odontoblastic markers expression were observed in this experimental condition. CONCLUSIONS The experimental CH-AlCa scaffold increases the chemotaxis and regenerative potential of HDPCs, and the addition of low-dosage 1α,25VD to this scaffold enhances the potential of these cells to express an odontoblastic phenotype. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Chitosan scaffolds enriched with calcium-aluminate in association with low dosages of 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 provide a highly bioactive microenvironment for dental pulp cells prone to dentin regeneration, thus providing potential as a cell-free tissue engineering system for direct pulp capping.

Abstract
Cellulose nanocrystal (CNC)/poly(lactic acid) (PLA) in situ nanocomposite scaffolds were fabricated by in situ polymerization of lactic acid and CNC which was directly utilized as aqueous suspension, followed by a process of thermally induced phase separation. The CNC/PLA in situ nanocomposite porous scaffolds were characterized by mechanical test, protein adsorption, hemolysis test, in vitro degradation measurement, TEM, FTIR, SEM and WAXD. Compared to the PLA scaffold, the CNC/PLA in situ nanocomposite scaffolds showed a greatly increased compression modulus, an improved hemocompatibility and protein adsorption capacity. The inclusion of CNCs boosted the in vitro degradation of the in situ nanocomposite porous scaffolds and facilitated the deposition of Ca2+, CO32-, PO43- ions in simulated body fluid. Furthermore, cell cultures were carried out on the CNC/PLA in situ nanocomposite porous scaffolds. In comparison with the PLA scaffold, the in situ nanocomposite scaffolds improved cell attachment and enhanced cell proliferation, denoting low cytotoxicity and good cytocompatibility. It can therefore be concluded that such scaffolds with excellent mechanical property, biocompatibility, biomineralization capacity and bioactivity hold great potential for bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Microparticles (MPs) exhibit fast dissolution, characterized by a burst drug release pattern. In the present work, we prepared core-shell MPs of simvastatin (SIM) and zein with chitosan (CS) and nano-hydroxyapatite (nHA) as a drug carrier using the coaxial electrospray deposition method. The morphology, formation and in vitro osteogenic differentiation of these MPs were studied. The synthetic MPs have a diameter of about 1 μm and they are composed of non-toxic natural materials. They provide an effective way to enable long-term sustained-release activity, which is controlled by their double layer structures. The CS-nHA/zein-SIM MPs presented a low initial burst release (approximately 35-47%) within the first 24 h of application followed by the sustained release for at least 4 weeks. In vitro cell culture experiments were performed and the results revealed that the CS-nHA/zein-SIM core-shell MPs were beneficial to the adhesion, proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). The CS-nHA/zein-SIM MPs with a low SIM concentration were beneficial to cell proliferation and promotion of osteogenic differentiation.
