Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to develop a novel device that concatenates alignment of infrared lasers and parallel procedure of irradiation. The purpose of this is to seek standardization of in vitro cell irradiation, which allows analysis and credible comparisons between outcomes of different experiments. BACKGROUND DATA Experimental data obtained from infrared laser therapies have been strongly dependent upon the irradiation setup. Although further optical alignment is difficult to achieve, in contact irradiation it usually occurs. Moreover, these methods eventually use laser in a serial procedure, extending the time to irradiate experimental samples. METHODS A LASERTable (LT) device was designed to provide similar infrared laser irradiation in 12 wells of a 24 well test plate. It irradiated each well by expanding the laser beam until it covers the well bottom, as occurs with unexpanded irradiation. To evaluate the effectiveness of this device, the spatial distribution of radiation was measured, and the heating of plain culture medium was monitored during the LT operation. The irradiation of LT (up to 25 J/cm(2) - 20 mW/cm(2); 1.250 sec) was assessed on odontoblast-like cells adhered to the bottom of wells containing 1 mL of plain culture medium. Cell morphology and metabolism were also evaluated. RESULTS Irradiation with LT presented a Gaussian-like profile when the culture medium was not heated >1°C. It was also observed that the LT made it 10 times faster to perform the experiment than did serial laser irradiation. In addition, the data of this study revealed that the odontoblast-like cells exposed to low-level laser therapy (LLLT) using the LT presented higher metabolism and normal morphology. CONCLUSIONS The experimental LASERTable assessed in this study provided parameters for standardization of infrared cell irradiation, minimizing the time spent to irradiate all samples. Therefore, this device is a helpful tool that can be effectively used to evaluate experimental LLLT protocols.

Abstract
Classical tooth development theory suggests that dental papilla cells (DPCs) are the precursor cells of odontoblasts, which are responsible for dentin development. However, our previous studies have indicated that dental follicle cells (DFCs) can differentiate into odontoblasts. To further our understanding of tooth development, and the differences in dentinogenesis between DFCs and DPCs, the odontogenic differentiation of DFCs and DPCs was characterized in vitro and in vivo. DFCs and DPCs were individually combined with treated dentin matrix (TDM) before they were subcutaneously implanted into the dorsum of mice for 8 weeks. Results showed that 12 proteins were significantly differential, and phosphoserine aminotransferase 1 (PSAT1), Isoform 2 of hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha (HIF1A) and Isoform 1 of annexin A2 (ANXA2), were the most significantly differential proteins. These proteins are related to regulation of bone balance, angiogenesis and cell survival in an anoxic environment. Both DFCs and DPCs express odontogenic, neurogenic and peridontogenic markers. Histological examination of the harvested grafts showed that both DFCs and DPCs form pulp-dentin/cementum-periodentium-like tissues in vivo. Hence, DFCs and DPCs have similar odontogenic differentiation potential in the presence of TDM. However, differences in glucose and amino acid metabolism signal transduction and protein synthesis were observed for the two cell types. This study expands our understanding on tooth development, and provides direct evidence for the use of alternative cell sources in tooth regeneration.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We analyzed gene-expression profiles after 14 day odontogenic induction of human dental pulp cells (DPCs) using a DNA microarray and sought candidate genes possibly associated with mineralization. MATERIALS AND METHODS Induced human dental pulp cells were obtained by culturing DPCs in odontogenic induction medium (OM) for 14 day. Cells exposed to normal culture medium were used as controls. Total RNA was extracted from cells and analyzed by microarray analysis and the key results were confirmed selectively by reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). We also performed a gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) of the microarray data. RESULTS Six hundred and five genes among the 47,320 probes on the BeadChip differed by a factor of more than two-fold in the induced cells. Of these, 217 genes were upregulated, and 388 were down-regulated. GSEA revealed that in the induced cells, genes implicated in Apoptosis and Signaling by wingless MMTV integration (Wnt) were significantly upregulated. CONCLUSIONS Genes implicated in Apoptosis and Signaling by Wnt are highly connected to the differentiation of dental pulp cells into odontoblast.

Abstract
Dental papilla mesenchymal cells (DPMCs) have been supposed to possess the relatively independent and critical role for tooth development and morphogenesis. Here, we characterized the role of ADAM28, a member of a disintegrin and metalloproteinase (ADAM) family, in the regulative mechanisms of odontogenic capability of hDPMCs. Immunofluorescence staining showed the ubiquitous expression of ADAM28 in multiple human dental mesenchymal and epithelial cells. After confirming the effect of eukaryotic expression plasmid containing ADAM28 coding region and ADAM28 antisense oligodeoxynucleotide (AS-ODN), we respectively transfected them into hDPMCs and observed the biological markers for proliferation and differentiation. Overexpression of ADAM28 favored the proliferation and lineage-specific differentiation of hDPMCs, while blockage of ADAM28 exerted the opposite effects and induced apoptosis. These results identified an unrecognized hypothesis that ADAM28 may function as positive regulator of growth and differentiation of hDPMCs and act as an important molecule mediating reciprocal epithelial-mesenchymal signaling during tooth organ development.

Abstract
We isolated dental papilla mesenchymal cells (DPMCs) from different rat incisor germs at the late bell stage and incubated them as cell pellets in polypropylene tubes. In vitro pellet culture of DPMCs presented several crucial characteristics of odontoblasts, as indicated by accelerated mineralization, positive immunostaining for dentin sialophosphoprotein and dentin matrix protein 1, and expression of dentin sialophosphoprotein mRNA. The allotransplantation of these pellets into renal capsules was also performed. Despite the absence of dental epithelial components, dissociated DPMCs with a complete loss of positional information rapidly underwent dentinogenesis and morphogenesis, and formed a cusp-like dentin-pulp complex containing distinctive odontoblasts, predentin, dentin, and dentinal tubules. These results imply that DPMCs at the late bell stage can reexhibit the dental morphogenesis and dentinogenesis by themselves, and epithelial-mesenchymal interactions at this stage may not be indispensable. Furthermore, different DPMC populations from the similar stage may keep the same developmental pattern.

Abstract
Here we report on the spontaneous immortalization upon serial passages of mouse fetal dental papilla cells, which present odontoblast phenotype features. The cells named odontoblast-lineage cell (OLC) produced dentin extracellular matrix proteins, such as DSP and DMP1, and maintained transcripts of various matrix components as osteopontin, BMP-4, procollagen-1, and MEPE. The addition of osteogenic differentiation medium with beta-glycerophosphate and ascorbic acid was effective for inducing calcification and mineralization in vitro in cell cultures for up to 28 days. For the first time, we investigated the expression of Lhx6 and Lhx7 genes during induced biomineralization, since these new members of LIM homeodomain proteins have been recently proposed tracking odontoblastic phenotypes. Our results indicate that beta-glycerophosphate treatment of OLC cultures decreases Lhx6 transcript levels in vitro. Our findings proved odontoblast phenotype-specificity, which demonstrates that this novel odontoblast-lineage cell line is a valuable tool for future experiments in odontology.

Abstract
An in vitro agar model was developed to study the effect of intracanal medicaments on periapical tissues and was used to study the diffusion of three calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) medicaments of varying viscosity through simulated root canals with various sizes of apical foramina. Experimental medicaments were added to pipette tips used to represent tooth roots, which were fixed in syringes containing brain heart infusion agar and calcium-reactive dye. OH and Ca concentrations were measured in the agar at 30 minutes and 24 hours. Ca concentration and pH increased with larger aperture sizes, and higher pH and Ca diffusion was produced by a 10% Ca(OH)2 solution than was produced by Pulpdent or a Ca(OH)2 paste. The results suggest that the properties of the Ca(OH)2-containing vehicle could affect the action of the medicament in the periapical tissues.

Abstract
Close regulation of odontoblast differentiation and subsequent secretory activity is critical for dentinogenesis during both embryogenesis and tissue repair. Some dental papilla cells achieve commitment and specific competence, allowing them to respond to epithelially derived inductive signals during the process of odontoblast differentiation. Temporo-spatial regulation of odontoblast differentiation is dependent on matrix-mediated interactions involving the basement membrane (BM). Experimental studies have highlighted the possible roles of growth factors in these processes. Regulation of functional activity of odontoblasts allows for both ordered secretion of the primary dentin matrix and maintenance of vitality and down-regulation of secretory activity throughout secondary dentinogenesis. After injury to the mature tooth, the fate of the odontoblast can vary according to the intensity of the injury. Milder injury can result in up-regulation of functional activity leading to focal secretion of a reactionary dentin matrix, while greater injury can lead to odontoblast cell death. Induction of differentiation of a new generation of odontoblast-like cells can then lead to reparative dentinogenesis. Many similarities exist between development and repair, including matrix-mediation of the cellular processes and the apparent involvement of growth factors as signaling molecules despite the absence of epithelium during repair. While some of the molecular mediators appear to be common to these processes, the close regulation of primary dentinogenesis may be less ordered during tertiary dentinogenic responses.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study was undertaken to elucidate the type and origin of collagen fibrils which construct the large tubules in deciduous coronal dentin by scanning electron microscope and anti-types I and III collagen antibody procedures. METHODS The studies were performed on human deciduous teeth. The teeth were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde solution and then fractured either mesio-distally parallel to the long axis of the tooth or transversely perpendicular to the long axis of the tooth crown. The specimens were three-dimensionally observed employing the scanning electron microscope to distinguish the content of large tubules. Polyclonal antibodies of anti-type I and anti-type III collagen with 20 nm colloidal gold, and secondary electron imaging and backscatter electron imaging of high-resolution field emission scanning electron microscopy were used to examine the types of collagen fibrils. RESULTS The large tubules extended from the vicinity of the incisal edge of the dentino-enamel junction to the pulp cavity. Inside the large tubules, fibers in compact bundles run parallel to the longitudinal axis of the tubules. The fiber bundles consisted of collagen fibrils which were 50-150 nm in diameter with typical cross striation. Immuno-scanning electron microscopy showed type I collagen-labelling gold particles and type III collagen-labelling gold particles to be abundant on the fibrils. Types I and III collagen-labelling gold particles were present on the banded collagen fibrils regardless of their diameter. CONCLUSIONS It was found that type III collagen is present together with type I collagen on the fibrils constructing the large tubules of the human deciduous dentin. This immunohistochemical study suggested that the fibrils constructing the large tubules were derived from the von Korff fibers, and types I and III collagens formed copolymers.
