Abstract
Biomimetic materials are able to mimic the structure and functional properties of native tissues especially natural oral tissues. They have attracted growing attention for their potential to achieve configurable and functional reconstruction in oral medicine. Though tremendous progress has been made regarding biomimetic materials, significant challenges still remain in terms of controversy on the mechanism of tooth tissue regeneration, lack of options for manufacturing such materials and insufficiency of in vivo experimental tests in related fields. In this review, the biomimetic materials used in oral medicine are summarized systematically, including tooth defect, tooth loss, periodontal diseases and maxillofacial bone defect. Various theoretical foundations of biomimetic materials research are reviewed, introducing the current and pertinent results. The benefits and limitations of these materials are summed up at the same time. Finally, challenges and potential of this field are discussed. This review provides the framework and support for further research in addition to giving a generally novel and fundamental basis for the utilization of biomimetic materials in the future.

Bioact Mater 2023; 27:181-199. [PMID: 37091064 PMCID: PMC10120318 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2023.03.024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2022] [Revised: 02/20/2023] [Accepted: 03/30/2023] [Indexed: 04/25/2023] Open
Abstract
Lamellar bone, compactly and ingeniously organized in the hierarchical pattern with 6 ordered scales, is the structural motif of mature bone. Each hierarchical scale exerts an essential role in determining physiological behavior and osteogenic bioactivity of bone. Engineering lamellar bone with full-scale hierarchy remains a longstanding challenge. Herein, using bioskiving and mineralization, we attempt to engineer compact constructs resembling full-scale hierarchy of lamellar bone. Through systematically investigating the effect of mineralization on physicochemical properties and bioactivities of multi-sheeted collagen matrix fabricated by bioskiving, the hierarchical mimicry and hierarchy-property relationship are elucidated. With prolongation of mineralization, hierarchical mimicry and osteogenic bioactivity of constructs are performed in a bidirectional manner, i.e. first rising and then descending, which is supposed to be related with transformation of mineralization mechanism from nonclassical to classical crystallization. Construct mineralized 9 days can accurately mimic each hierarchical scale and efficiently promote osteogenesis. Bioinformatic analysis further reveals that this construct potently activates integrin α5-PI3K/AKT signaling pathway through mechanical and biophysical cues, and thereby repairing critical-sized bone defect. The present study provides a bioinspired strategy for completely resembling complex hierarchy of compact mineralized tissue, and offers a critical research model for in-depth studying the structure-function relationship of bone.

Takahashi S, Yamamoto T, Takahashi T, Yawaka Y. Incremental lines in human cellular cementum: A histological study. J Oral Biosci 2023; 65:55-61. [PMID: 36521753 DOI: 10.1016/j.job.2022.12.001] [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: 11/20/2022] [Revised: 12/05/2022] [Accepted: 12/07/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Human cellular cementum has incremental lines that demarcate individual cementum lamellae. The structural and functional details of the lines remain poorly understood. This study was designed to examine human cellular cementum using light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and contact microradiography and to elucidate the ultrastructure of incremental lines and their significance in cellular cementogenesis. METHODS Longitudinal paraffin and ground sections of human mandibular molars were prepared. Paraffin sections were stained with hematoxylin, or hematoxylin and eosin, or impregnated with silver. Hematoxylin-stained sections were observed via scanning electron microscopy using NaOH maceration. Silver-impregnated sections were further stained with hematoxylin. Hematoxylin-stained ground sections were examined using contact microradiography. RESULTS The incremental lines were found to be collagen fibril-poor layers. The outer area of each cementum lamella consisted of highly mineralized fibrils involved in constructing an alternating lamellar structure, whereas the inner area consisted of irregularly arranged, less highly mineralized, fibrils. The incremental lines corresponded with the innermost sites of the inner area. CONCLUSIONS Based on the obtained findings, we suggest that cellular cementogenesis progresses as follows. (1) Cementoblasts alternate between low-to high-activity states. (2) In the earliest low-activity stage, cementoblasts generate poorly mineralized, fibril-poor, incremental lines. (3) As cementoblasts recover activity, fibril-organization and mineralization advance in the cementum. (4) In the high-activity stage, cementoblasts reach full activity and construct the highly mineralized, alternating lamellar structure. (5) Cementoblasts revert back to the low-activity stage. (6) The above processes are repeated, thus, alternately generating the incremental lines and cementum lamellae.

Matrix Vesicle-Mediated Mineralization and Osteocytic Regulation of Bone Mineralization. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23179941. [PMID: 36077336 PMCID: PMC9456179 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23179941] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2022] [Revised: 08/23/2022] [Accepted: 08/29/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Bone mineralization entails two mineralization phases: primary and secondary mineralization. Primary mineralization is achieved when matrix vesicles are secreted by osteoblasts, and thereafter, bone mineral density gradually increases during secondary mineralization. Nearby extracellular phosphate ions (PO43−) flow into the vesicles via membrane transporters and enzymes located on the vesicles’ membranes, while calcium ions (Ca2+), abundant in the tissue fluid, are also transported into the vesicles. The accumulation of Ca2+ and PO43− in the matrix vesicles induces crystal nucleation and growth. The calcium phosphate crystals grow radially within the vesicle, penetrate the vesicle’s membrane, and continue to grow outside the vesicle, ultimately forming mineralized nodules. The mineralized nodules then attach to collagen fibrils, mineralizing them from the contact sites (i.e., collagen mineralization). Afterward, the bone mineral density gradually increases during the secondary mineralization process. The mechanisms of this phenomenon remain unclear, but osteocytes may play a key role; it is assumed that osteocytes enable the transport of Ca2+ and PO43− through the canaliculi of the osteocyte network, as well as regulate the mineralization of the surrounding bone matrix via the Phex/SIBLINGs axis. Thus, bone mineralization is biologically regulated by osteoblasts and osteocytes.

J Periodontol 2022; 93:1725-1737.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To date, therapeutic approaches for cementum regeneration are limited and outcomes remain unpredictable. A significant barrier to improve therapies for cementum regeneration is that the cementocyte and its intracellular signal transduction mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study aims to elucidate the regulatory mechanism of Wnt pathway in cementogenesis. METHODS The effects of canonical Wnt signaling were compared in vitro using immortalized murine cementocyte cell line IDG-CM6 and osteocyte cell line IDG-SW3 by qRT-PCR, Western blot, confocal microscopy, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) assay and Alizarin red S staining. In vivo, histological changes of cementum and bone formation were examined in transgenic mice in which constitutive activation of β-catenin is driven by Dmp1 promoter. RESULTS Expression of components of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway were much greater in the IDG-SW3 cells compared to the IDG-CM6 cells resulting in much lower expression of Sost/sclerostin in the IDG-SW3 cells. In the IDG-CM6 cells, low dose Wnt3a (20 ng/ml) had a modest effect while high dose (200 ng/ml) inhibited runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), osterix (Osx), ALP and osteopontin (OPN) in contrast to the IDG-SW3 cells where high dose Wnt3a dramatically increased mRNA expression of these same markers. However, high Wnt3a significantly increased mRNA for components of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in both IDG-CM6 and IDG-SW3 cells. In vivo, constitutive activation of β-catenin in the Dmp1-lineage cells in mice leads to bone hyperplasia and cementum hypoplasia. CONCLUSION(S) These findings indicate that Wnt signaling has distinct and different effects on the regulation of long bone as compared to cementum. This article is protected by copyright.

Abstract
Despite tremendous attention is given to the construction of biomimetic cementum for regeneration of tooth cementum, the lack of recapitulating the composition and hierarchical structure of cementum often leads to the poor performance of constructed materials. How to highly mimic the sophisticated composition and hierarchy of cementum remains a longstanding challenge in constructing the biomimetic cementum. Inspired by cementum formation process, a novel construction approach via a combination of bioskiving and fluorine-containing biomineralization is developed in this study. The alternative collagen lamellae (ACL) that can highly mimic the rotated plywood structure of cementum collagen matrix is fabricated via bioskiving. Followed by biomineralization in the amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) solution with different concentration of fluorine, a series of biomimetic cementum is constructed. Screened by physicochemical characterization, the biomimetic cementum with the composition and hierarchical structure highly similar to human cementum is selected. Through in vitro biological assay, this biomimetic cementum is proven to significantly promote the adhesion, proliferation, and cementogenic differentiation of periodontal ligament cells (PDLCs). Furthermore, in vivo study demonstrates that biomimetic cementum could induce cementogenesis. This biomimetic cementum constructed via combinatory application of bioskiving and fluorine-containing biomineralization stands as a promising candidate for achieving cementum regeneration.
