Abstract
Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease and is the primary contributor to adult tooth loss. Diabetes exacerbates periodontitis, accelerates periodontal bone resorption. Thus, effectively managing periodontitis in individuals with diabetes is a long-standing challenge. This review introduces the etiology and pathogenesis of periodontitis, and analyzes the bidirectional relationship between diabetes and periodontitis. In this review, we comprehensively summarize the four pathological microenvironments influenced by diabetic periodontitis: high glucose microenvironment, bacterial infection microenvironment, inflammatory microenvironment, and bone loss microenvironment. The hydrogel design strategies and latest research development tailored to the four microenvironments of diabetic periodontitis are mainly focused on. Finally, the challenges and potential solutions in the treatment of diabetic periodontitis are discussed. We believe this review will be helpful for researchers seeking novel avenues in the treatment of diabetic periodontitis.

Abstract
Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease characterized by the destruction of periodontal tissues, and the promotion of bone tissue regeneration is the key to curing periodontitis. Psoralen is the main component of Psoralea corylifolia Linn, and has multiple biological effects, including anti-osteoporosis and osteogenesis. We constructed a novel hydrogel loaded with psoralen (PSO) and stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) for direct endogenous cell homing. This study aimed to evaluate the synergistic effects of PSO/SDF-1 on periodontal bone regeneration in patients with periodontitis. The results of CCK8, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity assay, and Alizarin Red staining showed that PSO/SDF-1 combination treatment promoted cell proliferation, chemotaxis ability, and ALP activity of PDLSCs. qRT-PCR and western blotting showed that the expression levels of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), dwarf-associated transcription factor 2 (RUNX2), and osteocalcin (OCN) gene were upregulated. Rat periodontal models were established to observe the effect of local application of the composite hydrogel on bone regeneration. These results proved that the PSO/SDF-1 combination treatment significantly promoted new bone formation. The immunohistochemical (IHC) results confirmed the elevated expression of ALP, RUNX2, and OCN osteogenic genes. PSO/SDF-1 composite hydrogel can synergistically regulate the biological function and promote periodontal bone formation. Thus, this study provides a novel strategy for periodontal bone regeneration.

Nedumaran N, Rajasekar A. Clinical and Biochemical Effects of Antioxidant Gel as a Local Drug Delivery Agent in Stage II Grade A Periodontitis Patients: A Prospective Clinical Study. Cureus 2024; 16:e61707. [PMID: 38975454 PMCID: PMC11226212 DOI: 10.7759/cureus.61707] [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: 03/31/2024] [Accepted: 06/03/2024] [Indexed: 07/09/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Periodontal tissue breakdown is mainly due to pathogenic bacteria and dysregulated immune response resulting in the production of reactive oxygen species/reactive nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) causing tissue degradation. Scaling and root planing (SRP) is usually done for the management of periodontitis. However, it has been reported that adjuncts like antibiotics, antiseptics, and antioxidants in the form of local drug delivery enhance the outcome of SRP. Aim The present clinical study aims to examine the efficacy of an antioxidant oral gel (Bluem®) as a local drug delivery agent adjunct to SRP in the management of stage II grade A periodontitis in terms of clinical and biochemical parameters. Materials and methods The prospective clinical study was conducted among 40 stage II grade A periodontitis patients. The participants were then divided into two groups: Group 1 (Control)-SRP alone (n=20) and Group 2 (Test)-antioxidant gel (Bluem®) with SRP (n=20). Clinical variables including plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), probing depth (PD), and clinical attachment level (CAL) were recorded. Saliva (unstimulated) specimens were collected to measure total oxidant status (TOS), total antioxidant capacity (TAOC), and oxidative stress index (OSI). Specimen collection and assessment of clinical variables were done before intervention (baseline) and after three months. SPSS Software (Version 20.0, Armonk, NY, USA: IBM Corp) was used for statistical analysis. Intragroup and intergroup comparisons were done by paired t-test and independent t-test, respectively. A p-value <0.05 indicated that the result was statistically significant. Results On intragroup analysis, both the groups at three months revealed statistically significant improvement of PI, GI, PD, CAL, TOS, TAOC, and OSI (p<0.05) from baseline. Intergroup comparison in the third month showed a statistically significant improvement in favor of Group 2 in terms of all the clinical and biochemical parameters (p<0.05) except for PI (p>0.05). Conclusion The locally delivered antioxidant gel as an adjunct to SRP seems to be effective in reducing oxidative stress and improving the periodontal parameters among stage II grade A periodontitis patients.

Abstract
Periodontitis is an inflammatory periodontal disease defined by the progressive loss of tissues surrounding the tooth. Ampicillin is an antibiotic for managing and treating specific bacterial infections, including periodontitis. Periodontal pockets occur due to periodontal disease progression and act as a natural reservoir that is easily reachable for the insertion of a delivery system, and the amount of drug to be released has a major role in the efficiency of treatment of the disease. Polyelectrolyte complexes (PECs), particularly those based on chitosan and hyaluronic acid combinations, offer a promising avenue to overcome the challenges associated with drug delivery. These complexes are both biodegradable and biocompatible, making them an optimal choice for enabling targeted drug delivery. This study centers on developing and assessing the structure and dynamic attributes of a drug-PEC system encompassing ampicillin and chitosan-hyaluronic acid components, which represents a targeted drug delivery system to better alleviate the periodontitis. To achieve this goal, we conducted experiments including weight and drug content uniformity, swelling ındex, drug release %, FT-IR and SEM analyses, and atomistic molecular dynamics simulations on the drug PECs loaded with ampicillin with varying amounts of hyaluronic acid. All simulations and the experimental analysis suggested that increased HA amount resulted in an increase in drug release % and swelling index. The simulation outcomes provide insights into the nature of the drug and PEC interactions alongside transport properties such as drug diffusion coefficients. These coefficients offer valuable insights into the molecular behavior of ampicillin-PEC drug delivery systems, particularly in the context of their application in periodontitis treatment.

Abstract
Introduction Periodontitis, a persistent inflammatory condition, impacts the tissues supporting teeth. Beyond mechanically eradicating the biofilm, additional host-modulating agents can aid in the treatment of periodontitis. Among these, gels are a very popular choice for use in the field of dentistry as these systems boast high biocompatibility and bioadhesiveness. These qualities make them easily administered and fabricated. They are typically placed into the periodontal site via wide-port needle syringes. Many investigations have demonstrated that hydrogels possess the ability for controlled drug release and aid in periodontal wound healing. Hence, this study aimed to develop a ferulic acid hydrogel and assess its effectiveness for managing periodontitis. Materials and methods Ferulic acid hydrogel was prepared followed by haemolysis assay and biocompatibility assay. After the in vitro analysis, a clinical trial was conducted: 20 patients were divided into Group A (comprising patients in whom scaling and root planing (SRP) was done) and Group B (comprising patients in whom SRP along with hydrogel application was done). Each patient's pocket depth (PD), clinical attachment loss (CAL), gingival index (GI), and plaque index (PI) were recorded at baseline and at three months. Intergroup and intragroup comparisons of the parameters were made. Results Ferulic acid hydrogels exhibit a minimal ratio of red blood cell destruction, indicating their low haemolytic activity. Beyond 94 hours, ferulic acid hydrogel demonstrates minimal toxicity towards human fibroblasts, suggesting it has good biocompatibility. When clinical parameters were compared after three months of treatment with SRP alone, significant reductions were observed in all parameters. However, when hydrogel application was done along with SRP, greater reduction was seen in terms of all clinical parameters indicating the efficacy of the ferulic acid hydrogel as an adjunct. Conclusion Ferulic acid has distinct haemolytic activity as well as good biocompatibility. Its use also led to a considerable reduction in all clinical parameters, necessitating its role as a local drug delivery agent in the treatment of periodontitis.

Abstract
Injectable antibacterial and osteoinductive hydrogels have received considerable attention for promoting bone regeneration owing to their versatile functionalities. However, a current hydrogel with antibacterial, osteoinductive, and antioxidant properties by a facile method for periodontitis treatment is still missing. To overcome this issue, we designed an injectable hydrogel system (GPM) composed of gelatin, Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheets, and poly-l-lysine using a simple enzymatic cross-linking technique. Physicochemical characterization demonstrated that the GPM hydrogel matrix exhibited excellent stability, moderate tissue adhesion ability, and good mechanical behavior. The GPM hydrogels significantly inhibited the growth of Porphyromonas gingivalis, scavenged reactive oxygen species, attenuated inflammatory responses, and enhanced bone tissue regeneration. Intriguingly, the arrangement of the junctional epithelium, alveolar bone volume, and alveolar bone height in the GPM-treated periodontal disease group recovered to that of the healthy group. Therefore, our injectable hydrogel system with versatile functions may serve as an excellent tissue scaffold for the treatment of periodontitis.

Quercetin-loaded mesoporous nano-delivery system remodels osteoimmune microenvironment to regenerate alveolar bone in periodontitis via the miR-21a-5p/PDCD4/NF-κB pathway. J Nanobiotechnology 2024; 22:94. [PMID: 38449005 PMCID: PMC10918894 DOI: 10.1186/s12951-024-02352-4] [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: 08/13/2023] [Accepted: 02/20/2024] [Indexed: 03/08/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Impaired osteo-/angiogenesis, excessive inflammation, and imbalance of the osteoimmune homeostasis are involved in the pathogenesis of the alveolar bone defect caused by periodontitis. Unfortunately, there is still a lack of ideal therapeutic strategies for periodontitis that can regenerate the alveolar bone while remodeling the osteoimmune microenvironment. Quercetin, as a monomeric flavonoid, has multiple pharmacological activities, such as pro-regenerative, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory effects. Despite its vast spectrum of pharmacological activities, quercetin's clinical application is limited due to its poor water solubility and low bioavailability. RESULTS In this study, we fabricated a quercetin-loaded mesoporous bioactive glass (Quercetin/MBG) nano-delivery system with the function of continuously releasing quercetin, which could better promote the bone regeneration and regulate the immune microenvironment in the alveolar bone defect with periodontitis compared to pure MBG treatment. In particular, this nano-delivery system effectively decreased injection frequency of quercetin while yielding favorable therapeutic results. In view of the above excellent therapeutic effects achieved by the sustained release of quercetin, we further investigated its therapeutic mechanisms. Our findings indicated that under the periodontitis microenvironment, the intervention of quercetin could restore the osteo-/angiogenic capacity of periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs), induce immune regulation of macrophages and exert an osteoimmunomodulatory effect. Furthermore, we also found that the above osteoimmunomodulatory effects of quercetin via macrophages could be partially blocked by the overexpression of a key microRNA--miR-21a-5p, which worked through inhibiting the expression of PDCD4 and activating the NF-κB signaling pathway. CONCLUSION In summary, our study shows that quercetin-loaded mesoporous nano-delivery system has the potential to be a therapeutic approach for reconstructing alveolar bone defects in periodontitis. Furthermore, it also offers a new perspective for treating alveolar bone defects in periodontitis by inhibiting the expression of miR-21a-5p in macrophages and thereby creating a favorable osteoimmune microenvironment.

Abstract
The current research aims to develop a carrier system for the delivery of a matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitor along with a bioceramic agent to the periodontal pocket. It is proposed that the present system, if given along with a systemic antibiotic, would be a fruitful approach for periodontitis amelioration. To fulfill the aforementioned objective, a doxycycline hyclate- and hydroxyapatite-adsorbed composite was prepared by a physical adsorption method and successfully loaded inside sodium alginate-chitosan nanoparticles and optimized based on particle size and drug content. Optimized formulation was then subjected to different evaluation parameters like encapsulation efficiency, hydroxyapatite content, ζ potential, surface morphology, in vitro drug release, cell line studies, and stability studies. For the optimized formulation, particle size, polydispersity index (PDI), entrapment efficiency, ζ potential, and drug content were found to be 336.50 nm, 0.23, 41.77%, -13.85 mV, and 14.00%, respectively. The surface morphology of the placebo and adsorbed composite-loaded nanoparticles as observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed the spherical shape and rough surface of the particles. In gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) 7.6, a sustained drug release profile was obtained up to 36 h. In vitro % viability studies performed on murine fibroblast cells (NIH3T3) and human periodontal ligament (hPDL) cell lines confirmed the proliferative nature of the formulation. Also, when subjected to stability studies for 4 weeks, particle size, PDI, and drug content did not vary considerably, thereby ensuring the stable nature of nanoparticles. Henceforth, sodium alginate-chitosan nanoparticles appeared to be a good carrier system for doxycycline hyclate and hydroxyapatite for periodontal therapy. If given along with a system antibiotic, the system will serve as a fruitful tool for infection-mediated periodontal regeneration and healing.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease caused by the local microbiome and the host immune response, resulting in periodontal structure damage and even tooth loss. Scaling and root planning combined with antibiotics are the conventional means of nonsurgical treatment of periodontitis, but they are insufficient to fully heal periodontitis due to intractable bacterial attachment and drug resistance. Novel and effective therapeutic options in clinical drug therapy remain scarce. Nanotherapeutics achieve stable cell targeting, oral retention and smart release by great flexibility in changing the chemical composition or physical characteristics of nanoparticles. Meanwhile, the protectiveness and high surface area to volume ratio of nanoparticles enable high drug loading, ensuring a remarkable therapeutic efficacy. Currently, the combination of advanced nanoparticles and novel therapeutic strategies is the most active research area in periodontitis treatment. In this review, we first introduce the pathogenesis of periodontitis, and then summarize the state-of-the-art nanotherapeutic strategies based on the triple concerto of antibacterial activity, immunomodulation and periodontium regeneration, particularly focusing on the therapeutic mechanism and ingenious design of nanomedicines. Finally, the challenges and prospects of nano therapy for periodontitis are discussed from the perspective of current treatment problems and future development trends.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Periodontitis is a dramatic inflammatory disease, representing vigorous interactions between specific causative pathogens and host immune responses resulting in the activation of the destructive inflammatory cascade with the subsequent irreversible destruction of the teeth-supporting apparatus. AIM This study aims to evaluate the effect of using erythropoietin (EPO) injectable hydrogel, as an additional therapeutic option to scaling and root planing (SRP) in the treatment of stage II periodontitis patients, and to assess its effect on the level of osteocalcin and interleukin (IL)-1β in the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF). METHODOLOGY A total number of 40 patients clinically diagnosed with stage II periodontitis were included. The participants were allocated into two equal groups: study and control groups. Patients in the control group received SRP, while those in the study group received SRP followed by injectable hydrogel containing EPO. Clinical parameters such as plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), probing pocket depth (PPD), and clinical attachment level (CAL) were assessed at baseline and two months post treatment. GCF samples were collected at baseline and two months post treatment from both groups to analyze GCF IL-1β and osteocalcin levels using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). RESULTS Significant reductions in all tested clinical parameters were revealed in both groups in comparison to baseline values. A marked significant reduction in GCF IL-1β level was detected in the study group. However, two months post treatment, the osteocalcin level was decreased significantly in both groups. CONCLUSION This preliminary study shows great promise for the local application of EPO hydrogel as an adjunct to SRP for the management of stage II periodontitis.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a common chronic inflammatory disease caused by plaque that leads to alveolar bone resorption and tooth loss. Inflammation control and achieving better tissue repair are the key to periodontitis treatment. In this study, human β-Defensin 1 short motif Pep-B with inflammation inhibition and differentiation regulation properties, is firstly used in the treatment of periodontitis, and an injectable photopolymerizable Pep-B/chitosan methacryloyl composite hydrogel (CMSA/Pep-B) is constructed. We confirm that Pep-B improves inflammation, and restores osteogenic behavior and function of injured stem cells. CMSA/Pep-B has good injectability, fluidity and photopolymerizability, and can sustainably release Pep-B to maintain drug concentration in periodontal pockets. Furthermore, animal experiments showed that CMSA/Pep-B significantly ameliorated the inflammation of the periodontium and reduced the alveolar bone loss by decreasing inflammatory infiltration, osteoclast formation and collagen destruction. In conclusion, CMSA/Pep-B is envisaged to be a novel bioactive material or therapeutic drug for treating periodontitis.

Abstract
Periodontitis is the chronic inflammation of tooth-supporting tissues that leads to loss of tooth support if untreated. Conventional therapy for periodontitis (mechanical removal of microbial biofilm and oral hygiene enforcement) is augmented by anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory drugs. These drugs are frequently delivered locally into the periodontal pocket for maximum efficiency and minimum adverse effects. The potential of oleogels for periodontal drug delivery has been discussed and further, the future scope of oleogel-based drug delivery systems in dentistry. An oleogel-based local drug delivery system offers several advantages over other systems. Superior mechanical properties (firmness and compressibility), muco-adhesion, shear thinning, thixotropy, controlled drug release and the ability to incorporate water-insoluble drugs clearly distinguish and highlight the potential of oleogels as periodontal local drug delivery systems. Bigels can combine the qualities of both hydrogels and oleogels to provide a more promising option for drug delivery. However, there is limited evidence concerning oleogels as local drug delivery agents in periodontics. Further studies are needed to discern the clinical efficacy of oleogel-based drug delivery systems.

Abstract
Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease characterized by tooth loss and alveolar bone resorption. Bacteria are the original cause of periodontitis, and excess reactive oxygen species (ROS) encourage and intensify inflammation. In this study, a mussel-inspired and MnO2 NPs-reinforced adhesive hydrogel capable of alleviating periodontitis with improved antibacterial and antioxidant abilities was developed. The hydrogel was created by combining polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), 3,4-dihydroxy-d-phenylalanine (DOPA), and MnO2 nanoparticles (NPs) (named PDMO hydrogel). The hydrogel was demonstrated to be able to scavenge various free radicals (including total ROS─O2•- and OH•) and relieve the hypoxia in an inflammatory microenvironment by scavenging excess ROS and generating O2 due to its superoxide dismutase (SOD)/catalase (CAT)-like activity. Besides, under 808 nm near-infrared (NIR) light, the photothermal performance of the PDMO hydrogel displayed favorable antibacterial and antibiofilm effects toward Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Porphyromonas gingivalis (up to nearly 100% antibacterial rate). Furthermore, the PDMO hydrogel exhibited favorable therapeutic efficacy in alleviating gingivitis in Sprague-Dawley rats, even comparable to or better than the commercial PERIO. In addition, in the periodontitis models, the PDMO2 group showed the height of the residual alveolar bone and the smallest shadow area of low density among other groups, indicating the positive role of the PDMO2 hydrogel in bone regeneration. Finally, the biosafety of the PDMO hydrogel was comprehensively investigated, and the hydrogel was demonstrated to have good biocompatibility. Therefore, the developed PDMO hydrogel provided an effective solution to resolve biofilm recolonization and oxidative stress in periodontitis and could be a superior candidate for local drug delivery system in the clinical management of periodontitis with great potential for future clinical translation.

Abstract
Oral biofilms, which are also known as dental plaque, are the culprit of a wide range of oral diseases and systemic diseases, thus contributing to serious health risks. The manner of how to achieve good control of oral biofilms has been an increasing public concern. Novel antimicrobial biomaterials with highly controllable fabrication and functionalization have been proven to be promising candidates. However, previous reviews have generally emphasized the physicochemical properties, action mode, and application effectiveness of those biomaterials, whereas insufficient attention has been given to the design rationales tailored to different infection types and application scenarios. To offer guidance for better diversification and functionalization of anti-oral-biofilm biomaterials, this review details the up-to-date design rationales in three aspects: the core strategies in combating oral biofilm, as well as the biomaterials with advanced antibiofilm capacity and multiple functions based on the improvement or combination of the abovementioned antimicrobial strategies. Thereafter, insights on the existing challenges and future improvement of biomaterial-assisted oral biofilm treatments are proposed, hoping to provide a theoretical basis and reference for the subsequent design and application of antibiofilm biomaterials.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a worldwide bacterial infectious disease, resulting in the resorption of tooth-supporting structures. Biodegradable polymeric microspheres are emerging as an appealing local therapy candidate for periodontal defect regeneration but suffer from tedious procedures and low yields. Herein, we developed a facile yet scalable approach to prepare polylactide composite microspheres with outstanding drug-loading capability. It was realized by blending equimolar polylactide enantiomers at the temperature between the melting point of homocrystallites and stereocomplex (sc) crystallites, enabling the precipitation of sc crystallites in the form of microspheres. Meanwhile, epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and nano-hydroxyapatite were encapsulated in the microspheres in the designated amount. Such an assembly allowed the fast and sustained release of EGCG and Ca2+ ions. The resultant hybrid composite microspheres not only exhibited strong antimicrobial activity against typical oral pathogens (Porphyromonas gingivalis and Enterococcus faecalis), but also directly promoted osteogenic differentiation of periodontal ligament stem cells with good cytocompatibility. These dual-functional composite microspheres offer a desired drug delivery platform to address the practical needs for periodontitis treatment.

Abstract
Borneol has been successfully employed as a gelling agent for in situ forming gel (ISG). While 40% borneol can regulate drug release, there is interest in novel approaches to achieve extended drug release, particularly through the incorporation of hydrophobic substances. Herein, triacetin was selected as a hydrophobic additive solvent for doxycycline hyclate (Dox)-loaded 40% borneol-based ISGs in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) or dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), which were subsequently evaluated in terms of their physicochemical properties, gel formation morphology, water sensitivity, drug release, and antimicrobial activities. ISG density and viscosity gradually decreased with the triacetin proportion to a viscosity of <12 cPs and slightly influenced the surface tension (33.14-44.33 mN/m). The low expelled force values (1.59-2.39 N) indicated the convenience of injection. All of the prepared ISGs exhibited favorable wettability and plastic deformation. Higher gel firmness from ISG prepared using NMP as a solvent contributed to the ability of more efficient controlled drug release. High triacetin (25%)-loaded ISG retarded solvent diffusion and gel formation, but diminished gel firmness and water sensitivity. ISG containing 5% triacetin efficiently prolonged Dox release up to 10 days with Fickian diffusion and presented effective antimicrobial activities against periodontitis pathogens such as Porphyromonas gingivalis and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans. Therefore, the Dox-loaded 40% borneol-based ISG with 5% triacetin is a potential effective local ISG for periodontitis treatment.

Activation of PGC-1α-dependent mitochondrial biogenesis supports therapeutic effects of silibinin against type I diabetic periodontitis. J Clin Periodontol 2023; 50:964-979. [PMID: 36940707 DOI: 10.1111/jcpe.13811] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/22/2022] [Revised: 01/10/2023] [Accepted: 03/14/2023] [Indexed: 03/23/2023]
Abstract
AIM To investigate whether silibinin impacts diabetic periodontitis (DP) via mitochondrial regulation. MATERIALS AND METHODS In vivo, rats were divided into control, diabetes, DP and DP combined with silibinin groups. Diabetes and periodontitis were induced by streptozocin and silk ligation, respectively. Bone turnover was evaluated by microcomputed tomography, histology and immunohistochemistry. In vitro, human periodontal ligament cells (hPDLCs) were exposed to hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) with or without silibinin. Osteogenic function was analysed by Alizarin Red and alkaline phosphatase staining. Mitochondrial function and biogenesis were investigated by mitochondrial imaging assays and quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Activator and lentivirus-mediated knockdown of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma-coactivator 1-alpha (PGC-1α), a critical regulator of mitochondria biogenesis, was used to explore the mitochondrial mechanisms. RESULTS Silibinin attenuated periodontal destruction and mitochondrial dysfunction and enhanced mitochondrial biogenesis and PGC-1α expression in rats with DP. Meanwhile, silibinin promoted cell proliferation, osteogenesis and mitochondrial biogenesis and increased the PGC-1α level in hPDLCs exposed to H2 O2 . Silibinin also protected PGC-1α from proteolysis in hPDLCs. Furthermore, both silibinin and activator of PGC-1α ameliorated cellular injury and mitochondrial abnormalities in hPDLCs, while knockdown of PGC-1α abolished the beneficial effect of silibinin. CONCLUSIONS Silibinin attenuated DP through the promotion of PGC-1α-dependent mitochondrial biogenesis.

Abstract
Solvent exchange-induced in situ forming gel (ISG) has emerged as a versatile drug delivery system, particularly for periodontal pocket applications. In this study, we developed lincomycin HCl-loaded ISGs using a 40% borneol-based matrix and N-methyl pyrrolidone (NMP) as a solvent. The physicochemical properties and antimicrobial activities of the ISGs were evaluated. The prepared ISGs exhibited low viscosity and reduced surface tension, allowing for easy injection and spreadability. Gel formation increased the contact angle on agarose gel, while higher lincomycin HCl content decreased water tolerance and facilitated phase separation. The drug-loading influenced solvent exchange and matrix formation, resulting in thinner and inhomogeneous borneol matrices with slower gel formation and lower gel hardness. The lincomycin HCl-loaded borneol-based ISGs demonstrated sustained drug release above the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) for 8 days, following Fickian diffusion and fitting well with Higuchi's equation. These formulations exhibited dose-dependent inhibition of Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Escherichia coli ATCC 8739, and Prophyromonas gingivalis ATCC 33277, and the release of NMP effectively inhibited Candida albicans ATCC 10231. Overall, the 7.5% lincomycin HCl-loaded 40% borneol-based ISGs hold promise as localized drug delivery systems for periodontitis treatment.

Abstract
The enhanced osteoclastogenesis contributes to alveolar bone resorption in periodontitis, which increases the risk of tooth loss. To reduce bone destruction, the inhibition of osteoclast development is proposed as a feasible treatment. CD40L-CD40-TRAF6 signal transduction plays a crucial role in inflammation, but how it regulates osteoclast activity in periodontitis has not been elucidated. In this study, we showed the potential role of CD40L-CD40-TRAF6 signaling in periodontitis. CD40L obviously promoted osteoclast formation and bone resorption capacity in vitro. Mechanistically, we found that osteoclastogenesis was enhanced by the overexpression of NFATc1 and NF-κB activation. Importantly, osteoclast activity was effectively suppressed by TRAF-STOP, a small molecular inhibitor of TRAF6. Furthermore, local injection of TRAF-STOP-loaded injectable PLGA-PEG-PLGA hydrogel could alleviate ligation-induced periodontitis in vivo. Taken together, TRAF-STOP shows promising clinical efficacy in periodontitis through alleviating osteoclastogenesis.

Abstract
Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease of the gums characterized by the degeneration of periodontal ligaments, the formation of periodontal pockets, and the resorption of the alveolar bone, which results in the destruction of the teeth's supporting structure. Periodontitis is caused by the growth of diverse microflora (particularly anaerobes) in the pockets, releasing toxins and enzymes and stimulating the immune system. Various approaches, both local and systemic, have been used to treat periodontitis effectively. Successful treatment depends on reducing bacterial biofilm, bleeding on probing (BOP), and reducing or eliminating pockets. Currently, the use of local drug delivery systems (LDDSs) as an adjunctive therapy to scaling and root planing (SRP) in periodontitis is a promising strategy, resulting in greater efficacy and fewer adverse effects by controlling drug release. Selecting an appropriate bioactive agent and route of administration is the cornerstone of a successful periodontitis treatment plan. In this context, this review focuses on applications of LDDSs with varying properties in treating periodontitis with or without systemic diseases to identify current challenges and future research directions.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease initiated by pathogenic biofilms and host immunity that damages tooth-supporting tissues, including the gingiva, periodontal ligament and alveolar bone. The physiological functions of the oral cavity, such as saliva secretion and chewing, greatly reduce the residence of therapeutic drugs in the area of a periodontal lesion. In addition, complex and diverse pathogenic mechanisms make effectively treating periodontitis difficult. Therefore, designing advanced local drug delivery systems and rational therapeutic strategies are the basis for successful periodontitis treatment. Hydrogels have attracted considerable interest in the field of periodontitis treatment due to their biocompatibility, biodegradability and convenient administration to the periodontal pocket. In recent years, the focus of hydrogel research has shifted to smart stimuli-responsive hydrogels, which can undergo flexible sol-gel transitions in situ and control drug release in response to stimulation by temperature, light, pH, ROS, glucose, or enzymes. In this review, we systematically introduce the development and rational design of emerging smart stimuli-responsive hydrogels for periodontitis treatment. We also discuss the state-of-the-art therapeutic strategies of smart hydrogels based on the pathogenesis of periodontitis. Additionally, the challenges and future research directions of smart hydrogels for periodontitis treatment are discussed from the perspective of developing efficient hydrogel delivery systems and potential clinical applications.

Abstract
Hot Melt Extrusion (HME) technology was developed to obtain blends containing lyophilized Scutellariae baicalensis root extract and chitosan in order to improve the rheological properties of the obtained blends, including tableting and compressibility properties. (Hydroxypropyl)methyl cellulose (HPMC) in 3 different ratios was used as amorphous matrix formers. The systems were characterized using X-ray powder diffraction (PXRD), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy with Attenuated Total Reflectance (FTIR-ATR), and in vitro release, permeability, and microbiological activity studies. Then, the extrudates were used to prepare tablets in order to give them the appropriate pharmaceutical form. HPMC-based systems released baicalin more slowly, resulting in delayed peaks in the acceptor fluid. This behavior can be explained by the fact that HPMC swells significantly, and the dissolved substance must have diffused through the polymer network before being released. The best tabletability properties are provided by the formulation containing the extrudate with lyophilized extract HPMC 50:50 w/w. These tablets offer a valuable baicalin release profile while maintaining good mucoadhesive properties that condition the tablet’s retention in the application site and the effectiveness of therapy.

Abstract
The main development process of periodontitis involves periodontal pathogenic bacteria as the initiating factor causing the onset of destructive inflammation, which in turn stimulates the destruction of periodontal tissue. It is difficult to achieve the eradication of periodontitis due to the complex interaction among antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and bone restoration. Herein, we propose an antibacterial-anti-inflammatory-bone restoration procedural treatment strategy with minocycline (MIN) for the efficient treatment of periodontitis. In brief, MIN was prepared into PLGA microspheres with tunable release behavior using different species of PLGA, respectively. The optimally selected PLGA microspheres (LA:GA with 50:50, 10 kDa, and carboxyl group) had a drug loading of 16.91%, an in vitro release of approximately 30 days, which also had a particle size of approximately 11.8 µm with a smooth appearance and a rounded morphology. The DSC and XRD results showed that the MIN was completely encapsulated in the microspheres as an amorphous state. Cytotoxicity tests demonstrated the safety and biocompatibility of the microspheres (cell viabilities at a concentration of 1-200 μg/mL were greater than 97%), and in vitro bacterial inhibition tests showed that the selected microspheres could achieve effective bacterial inhibition at the initial stage after administration. The favorable anti-inflammatory (low TNF-α and IL-10 levels) and bone restoration effects (BV/TV: 71.8869%; BMD: 0.9782 g/cm3; TB.Th: 0.1366 mm; Tb.N: 6.9318 mm-1; Tb.Sp: 0.0735 mm) were achieved in a SD rat periodontitis model after administering once a week for four weeks. The MIN-loaded PLGA microspheres were proved to be an efficient and safe treatment for periodontitis by procedural antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and bone restoration.

Abstract
Periodontitis is one of the most common oral polymicrobial infectious diseases induced by the complex interplay between the altered subgingival microbiota and the host’s dysregulated immune-inflammatory response, leading to the initiation of progressive and irreversible destruction of the periodontal tissues and eventually to tooth loss. The main goal of cause-related periodontal therapy is to eliminate the dysbiotic subgingival biofilm in order to arrest local inflammation and further periodontal tissue breakdown. Because, in some cases, subgingival mechanical instrumentation has limited efficiency in achieving those goals, various adjunctive therapies, mainly systemic and locally delivered antimicrobials, have been proposed to augment its effectiveness. However, most adjunctive antimicrobials carry side effects; therefore, their administration should be precociously considered. HybenX® (HY) is a commercial therapeutical agent with decontamination properties, which has been studied for its effects in treating various oral pathological conditions, including periodontitis. This review covers the current evidence regarding the treatment outcomes and limitations of conventional periodontal therapies and provides information based on the available experimental and clinical studies related to the HY mechanism of action and effects following its use associated with subgingival instrumentation and other types of dental treatments.

Wu C, Li W, Cen D, Zhou Q. Is insufficient sleep duration a risk indicator for periodontal disease? A systematic review. Int J Dent Hyg 2023; 21:18-27. [PMID: 36385732 DOI: 10.1111/idh.12633] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2021] [Revised: 08/15/2022] [Accepted: 10/24/2022] [Indexed: 11/19/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES In this study, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess whether people who achieved <7 h of sleep were more likely to develop periodontal disease (PD). SOURCES We executed electronic searches in the PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane Library, as well as a manual search of articles published by leading journals in related fields, for observational studies, published in English from 1 January 1966 to 31 March 2021.which evaluated the relationship between sleep duration and PD. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) quality evaluation scale was used for the cross-sectional studies, and the random effects model was used to summarize the effect sizes in the included studies with a 95% confidence interval (CI). RESULTS A total of six cross-sectional studies met the inclusion criteria, totaling 107,777 participants, of which 69,773 had PD. The results of the present indicated that shorter sleep duration (<7 h) is significantly associated with PD (Odd ratio [OR], 1.19; 95% CI, 1.16-1.23; p < 0.001; I2 , 0.0%, I2 interval, 0%-75%). The strength of the sensitivity analysis and cumulative meta-analysis confirmed the reliability of the results. CONCLUSION Although the inclusion of only six studies makes it difficult to explore whether there is a publication bias, we found that insufficient sleep duration was closely related to PD, and we therefore speculated that getting enough sleep may help prevent PD.

Abstract
After periodontal tissue injury, reconstruct soft tissue sealing around the tooth surface is of fundamental importance to treat periodontitis. Among multiple cell types, fibroblast plays a central role in reestablishing functional periodontium. To enhance fibroblast activity, a novel metal-organic framework-based nanoplatform is fabricated using mesoporous Prussian blue (MPB) nanoparticles to load baicalein (BA), named MPB-BA. Drug release test displayed sustained BA release of MPB-BA. Cell proliferation, transwell migration and wound healing tests revealed accelerated fibroblast proliferation and migration for the established MPB-BA nanoplatform. Moreover, vinculin immunofluorescence staining, western blot and quantitative real-time PCR analysis showed up-regulated vinculin protein and integrin α5 and integrin β1 gene expressions for MPB-BA, suggesting improved cell adhesion. In addition, hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and Masson trichromatic staining suggested superior anti-inflammatory and collagen fiber reconstruction effects for MPB-BA in a rat experimental periodontitis model in vivo. Our study may provide a promising strategy for the treatment of periodontitis.

Abstract
Oral diseases, such as dental caries, periodontitis and oral cancer, have a very high morbidity over the world. Basically, many oral diseases are commonly related to bacterial infections or cell malignant proliferation, and usually located on the superficial positions. These features allow the convenient and efficient application of photodynamic therapy (PDT) for oral diseases, since PDT is ideally suitable for the diseases on superficial sites and has been widely used for antimicrobial and anticancer therapy. Photosensitizers (PSs) are an essential element in PDT, which induce the generation of a large number of reactive oxygen species (ROS) upon absorption of specific lights. Almost all the PSs are small molecules and commonly suffered from various problems in the PDT environment, such as low solubility and poor stability. Recently, reports on the nanomedicine-based PDT have been well documented. Various functionalized nanomaterials can serve either as the PSs carriers or the direct PSs, thus enhancing the PDT efficacy. Herein, we aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of the features of different oral diseases and discuss the potential applications of nanomedicine-based PDT in the treatment of some common oral diseases. Also, the concerns and possible solutions for nanomaterials-mediated PDT are discussed.

Abstract
Background. The aim of this study was the clinical and laboratory evaluation of using polycaprolactone (PCL) nanofibers loaded with oxytetracycline hydrochloride (OTC) and zinc oxide (ZnO) as an adjunct to mechanical therapy in managing stage II grade A periodontitis patients concerning GCF lipocalin2- levels. Methods. Fifty stage II grade A periodontitis patients (27 women and 23 men, with an age range of 30‒60) were enrolled in the study. The patients were randomly assigned to five equal groups and treated with scaling and root planing (SRP), followed by local application of PCL nanofibers: group I: SRP + PCL loaded with OTC and ZnO, group II: SRP + PCL loaded with OTC, group III: SRP + PCL loaded with ZnO, group IV: SRP + unloaded PCL, and group V: SRP alone. Additionally, 10 healthy subjects with healthy periodontium (group VI) (age- and gender-matched) served as the negative control. Nanofibers were applied in the selected pockets of periodontitis patients in groups I to IV once weekly for two months. All the participants were examined clinically by assessing periodontal indices (gingival index, plaque index, pocket depth, and clinical attachment level), and biochemically by assessing GCF lipocalin-2 levels. Results. Compared to controls, periodontitis groups (I, II, III, IV, and V) showed significant elevation of both clinical parameters and GCF lipocalin2- levels at baseline. In addition, these parameters improved significantly after treatment, which was more pronounced in groups I, II-, and III) compared to groups IV and V. However, it did not reach normal values. Conclusion. In association with SRP, PCL nanofibers loaded with OTC and ZnO had beneficial therapeutic effects at both clinical and laboratory levels.

Abstract
The treatment of periodontitis can be very challenging due to its complex etiologies. A new pharmacologic strategy entitled “host-modulation therapy,” has been introduced to improve periodontal treatment outcomes. Supposedly, a multifunctional drug with the potential for bacterial infection prevention, host-response modulation and bone healing promotion would be a promising option for periodontitis therapy, but related studies remain substantially lacking. In this study, we successfully conjugated tetracycline with odanacatib (a selective inhibitor of cathepsin K) to construct a multifunctional drug (TC-ODN). We discovered that TC-ODN could promote macrophages polarizing toward anti-inflammatory phenotype and promote osteogenesis of PDLSCs under inflammatory microenvironment. In vivo, TC-ODN could be absorbed and distributed specifically to the bone after systemic administration, and accumulation of TC-ODN increased bone mineral density in ovariectomized rats. Importantly, periodontal administration of TC-ODN could successfully promote bone healing in periodontitis rats with alveolar bone loss. The findings in our study uncovered the excellent biocompatibility and multifunction of TC-ODN, including bone-targeted accumulation, immunoregulation, anti-inflammatory activity and promotion of bone healing, which might contribute to the clinical treatment of periodontitis.

Abstract
Bone and periodontium are tissues that have a unique capacity to repair from harm. However, replacing or regrowing missing tissues is not always effective, and it becomes more difficult as the defect grows larger. Because of aging and the increased prevalence of debilitating disorders such as diabetes, there is a considerable increase in demand for orthopedic and periodontal surgical operations, and successful techniques for tissue regeneration are still required. Even with significant limitations, such as quantity and the need for a donor area, autogenous bone grafts remain the best solution. Topical administration methods integrate osteoconductive biomaterial and osteoinductive chemicals as hormones as alternative options. This is a promising method for removing the need for autogenous bone transplantation. Furthermore, despite enormous investigation, there is currently no single approach that can reproduce all the physiologic activities of autogenous bone transplants. The localized bioengineering technique uses biomaterials to administer different hormones to capitalize on the host’s regeneration capacity and capability, as well as resemble intrinsic therapy. The current study adds to the comprehension of the principle of hormone redirection and its local administration in both bone and periodontal tissue engineering.

Abstract
Scaling and root planing represent the gold standard in the treatment of periodontal disease, but these therapeutic methods cannot eliminate the remaining periodontopathogenic bacteria in cement, tubules, and periodontal soft tissue. Thus, a number of additional therapeutic means have been adopted, including local and systemic antibiotic therapy, as well as the use of photodynamic therapy techniques. Recently, special attention has been paid to potential phytotherapeutic means in the treatment of periodontal disease. In this review, we aim to present the effects generated by the extract of Curcuma longa, the various forms of application of turmeric as an additional therapeutic means, as well as the aspects related to its biotolerance.

Abstract
The management of periodontitis remains a vital clinical challenge due to the interplay between the microorganisms of the dental biofilm and the host inflammatory response leading to a degenerative process in the surrounding tissues. Quercetin (QUE), a natural flavonol found in many foods, including apples, onions and tea, has exhibited prolonged and strong antibiofilm and anti-inflammatory effects both in vitro and in vivo. However, its clinical application is limited by its poor stability and water solubility, as well as its low bioavailability. Thus, in the present study, electrospun polylactic acid (PLA) nanofibers loaded with different amounts (5−10% w/w) of QUE were produced to rapidly respond to the acidic microenvironment typical of periodontal pockets during periodontal disease. This strategy demonstrated that PLA-QUE membranes can act as a drug reservoir releasing high QUE concentrations in the presence of oral bacterial infection (pH < 5.5), and thus limiting Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 and Streptococcus mutans biofilm maturation. In addition, released QUE exerts antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects on P. gingivalis Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated human gingival fibroblast (HGFs). The reported results confirmed that PLA-QUE membranes could inhibit subgingival biofilm maturation while reducing interleukin release, thereby limiting host inflammatory response. Overall, this study provided an effective pH-sensitive drug delivery system as a promising strategy for treating periodontitis.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease that can lead to significant destruction of tooth-supporting tissues, compromising dental function and patient's health. Although the currently employed treatment approaches can limit the advance of the disease, the development of multifunctional and hierarchically structured materials is still in demand for achieving successful tissue regeneration. Here, we combine coaxial electrospinning and 3D printing techniques to prepare bilayered zein-based membranes as a potential dual drug delivery platform for periodontal tissue regeneration. A layer of core-sheath electrospun nanofibers consisting of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)/curcumin (Curc)/tetracycline hydrochloride (TH) as the core and zein/poly(ε-caprolactone)(PCL)/β-glycerolphosphate (β-GP) as the sheath was deposited over a 3D printed honeycomb PLA/zein/Curc platform in order to render a bilayered structure that can mimic the architecture of periodontal tissue. The physicochemical properties of engineered constructs as well as the release profiles of distinct drugs were mainly controlled by varying the concentration of zein (10, 20, 30%, w/w relative to dry PCL) on the sheath layer of nanofibers, which displayed average diameters ranging from 150 to 400 nm. In vitro experiments demonstrated that the bilayered constructs provided sustained release of distinct drugs over 8 days and exhibited biocompatibility toward human oral keratinocytes (Nok-si) (cell viability >80%) as well as antibacterial activity against distinct bacterial strains including those of the red complex such as Porphyromonas gingivalis and Treponema denticola, which are recognized to elicit aggressive and chronic periodontitis. Our study reveals the potential of zein-based bilayered membranes as a dual drug delivery platform for periodontal tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Local delivery of drug is a promising strategy to manage periodontitis characterized by chronic inflammation of the soft tissue surrounding the teeth. An optimized system should prolong the drug retention time and exhibit controlled drug permeation through the buccal mucosal layer. This study was aimed to develop hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC)-based gel containing metronidazole (MTZ) loaded in solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs), and to enhance the antimicrobial activity of MTZ. SLNs were prepared using a combination method of solvent evaporation and hot homogenization. The results showed that the fabricated SLNs, comprising of Precirol (2.93%, w/v), Tween 80 (1.8%, w/v), and the drug:lipid ratio of 19.3% (w/w), were approximately 200 nm in size, with a narrow distribution. The HEC (3%, w/w)-based gel formed a smooth, homogeneous structure and had preferable mechanical and rheological properties. Moreover, the MTZ-loaded SLNs-based HEC gel (equivalent to 1% of MTZ, w/w) exhibited a sustained in vitro drug release pattern, optimal ex vivo permeability, and enhanced in vitro antimicrobial activity after 24 h of treatment. These findings indicate the potential of the MTZ-loaded SLNs-based HEC formulation for local drug delivery at the buccal mucosa in managing periodontal disease.

Long noncoding RNA distal-less homeobox 2 antisense 1 restrains inflammatory response and apoptosis of periodontal ligament cells by binding with microRNA-330-3p to regulate Ro60, Y RNA binding protein. Arch Oral Biol 2021; 133:105298. [PMID: 34752991 DOI: 10.1016/j.archoralbio.2021.105298] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2021] [Revised: 10/22/2021] [Accepted: 10/23/2021] [Indexed: 01/08/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to investigate the role of long noncoding RNA distal-less homeobox 2 antisense 1 (DLX2-AS1) in lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammatory response and apoptosis of periodontal ligament cells (PDLCs). DESIGN Lipopolysaccharide was used to induce inflammation response of PDLCs. The expression of DLX2-AS1, microRNA-330-3p and Ro60, Y RNA binding protein (RO60) in lipopolysaccharide-treated PDLCs was detected by reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was performed to evaluate the concentration of inflammatory cytokines in PDLCs after DLX2-AS1 overexpression or RO60 downregulation. The apoptosis of PDLCs after lipopolysaccharide treatment or indicated transfection was analyzed by flow cytometry analysis. The level of apoptosis-related proteins, Bax and Bcl-2, were examined by western blotting. The binding capacity between microRNA-330-3p and DLX2-AS1 (or RO60) was verified by luciferase reporter assays. RESULTS DLX2-AS1 was downregulated in PDLCs after lipopolysaccharide treatment. DLX2-AS1 overexpression decreased the production of inflammatory cytokines and inhibited cell apoptosis. microRNA-330-3p bound with DLX2-AS1 and displayed high expression in lipopolysaccharide-induced PDLCs. In addition, the downregulation of RO60, a target gene of microRNA-330-3p, reversed the suppressive influence of DLX2-AS1 overexpression on the inflammatory response and apoptosis of PDLCs. CONCLUSIONS DLX2-AS1 restrains inflammatory response and apoptosis of PDLCs via the microRNA-330-3p/RO60 axis.

Abstract
Vital pulp therapy (VPT) is deliberated as an ultraconservative/minimally invasive approach for the conservation of vital pulpal tissues, preservation of dental structure, and maintenance of tooth function in the oral cavity. In VPT, following the exposure of the dental pulp, the environment is prepared for the possible healing and probable refunctionalisation of pulpal connective tissue. However, to succeed in VPT, specific biomaterials are used to cover and/or dress the exposed pulp, lower the inflammation, heal the dental pulp, provoke the remaining odontoblastic cells, and induce the formation of a hard tissue, i.e., the dentinal bridge. It can be assumed that if the employed biomaterial is transferred to the target site using a specially designed micro-/nanosized local drug delivery system (LDDS), the biomaterial would be placed in closer proximity to the connective tissue, may be released in a controlled and sustained pattern, could properly conserve the remaining dental pulp and might appropriately enhance hard-tissue formation. Furthermore, the loaded LDDS could help VPT modalities to be more ultraconservative and may minimise the manipulation of the tooth structure as well as pulpal tissue, which could, in turn, result in better VPT outcomes.

Abstract
Existing local drug delivery systems for periodontitis suffer from poor antibacterial effect and unsatisfied periodontal regeneration. In this study, a smart gingipain-responsive hydrogel (PEGPD@SDF-1) was synthesized as an environmentally sensitive carrier for on-demand drug delivery. The PEGPD@SDF-1 hydrogel was synthesized from polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEG-DA) based scaffolds, dithiothreitol (DTT), and a novel designed functional peptide module (FPM) via Michael-type addition reaction, and the hydrogel was further loaded with stromal cell derived factor-1 (SDF-1). The FPM exhibiting a structure of anchor peptide-short antimicrobial peptide (SAMP)-anchor peptide could be cleaved by gingipain specifically, and the SAMP was released out of the hydrogel for antibacterial effect in response to gingipain. The hydrogel properties were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), swelling ratio analysis, degradation evaluation, and release curve description of the SAMP and SDF-1. Results in vitro indicated the PEGPD@SDF-1 hydrogel exhibited preferable biocompatibility and could promote the proliferation, migration, and osteogenic differentiation of periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs). Antibacterial testing demonstrated that the PEGPD@SDF-1 hydrogel released the SAMP stressfully in response to gingipain stimulation, thereby strongly inhibiting the growth of Porphyromonas gingivalis. Furthermore, the study in vivo indicated that the PEGPD@SDF-1 hydrogel inhibited P. gingivalis reproduction, created a low-inflammatory environment, facilitated the recruitment of CD90+/CD34- stromal cells, and induced osteogenesis. Taken together, these results suggest that the gingipain-responsive PEGPD@SDF-1 hydrogel could facilitate in situ periodontal tissue regeneration and is a promising candidate for the on-demand local drug delivery system for periodontitis.
