Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose was to evaluate whether a novel porous hydroxyapatite (HA) scaffold with a 25-30-µm groove structure (pHAMG) may improve bone osteogenesis, angiogenesis, and bone integration of titanium dental implants in animal models. METHODS The pHAMG was prepared by chemical precipitation method and its elemental composition and crystal structure were evaluated. The ability of the scaffolds to induce ectopic osteogenesis and the ability of scaffolds combined with titanium dental implants to induce orthotopic peri-implant angiogenesis, osteogenesis, and osteointegration were tested after implantation into the femur muscle pocket in rats and the mandibular defects in beagle dogs, respectively. The elemental composition was evaluated by SEM-EDS; the expression of the relevant osteogenic/inflammation marker and the anti-/pro-inflammation markers was evaluated by immunostaining and immunofluorescence, respectively. RESULTS In animal experiments with ectopic and peri-implant osteogenesis, pHAMG resulted in significantly larger neovascularization by hematoxylin-eosin staining, as well as deposition of collagen fibers by Masson staining than HA. Meanwhile, microgrooves in pHAMG upregulate more bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) 2 and interleukin-4 (IL-4) and -10 (IL-10) and downregulate more IL-1β and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) than that in HA. The pHAMG showed greater expression of arginase (Arg)-1 and lower expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) than HA. CONCLUSION The novel pHAMG can better repair bone defects in ectopic and orthotopic model. It also transfers macrophages to anti-inflammatory phenotypes, promoting angiogenic and osteogenesis in scaffolds, and bone integration in implants. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The novel pHAMG induce greater osteogenesis and angiogenesis which could be utilized in the clinical treatment.

Abstract
The oral cavity is an environment with diverse bacteria; thus, antibacterial materials are crucial for treating and preventing dental diseases. There is a high demand for materials with an enamel-like architecture because of the high failure rate of dental restorations, due to the physical differences between dental materials and enamel. However, recreating the distinctive apatite composition and hierarchical architecture of enamel is challenging. The aim of this study was to synthesize a novel material with an enamel-like structure and antibacterial ability. We established a non-cell biomimetic method of evaporation-based bottom-up self-assembly combined with a layer-by-layer technique and introduced an antibacterial agent (graphene oxide) to fabricate a biofunctional material with an enamel-like architecture and antibacterial ability. Specifically, enamel-like graphene oxide-hydroxyapatite crystals, formed on a customized mineralization template, were assembled into an enamel-like prismatic structure with a highly organized orientation preferentially along the c-axis through evaporation-based bottom-up self-assembly. With the aid of layer-by-layer absorption, we then fabricated a bulk macroscopic multilayered biofunctional material with a hierarchical enamel-like architecture. This enamel-inspired biomaterial could effectively resolve the problem in dental restoration and brings new prospects for the synthesis of other enamel-inspired biomaterials.

Abstract
Bone defect regeneration depends on the population and lifespan of M2 macrophages, which are regulated by dual signals generated by the "physical" spatial configuration of biological tissues and "molecular" chemokines. Herein, inspired by the reprogramming of macrophages, immunoengineered porous microspheres are constructed to accelerate bone repair through the regulation of both "physical" and "molecular" signals. The porous structure of injectable poly (l-lactic acid) (PLLA) microspheres prepared by the microfluidic technique provides a "physical signal" for osteogenic differentiation. Additionally, interleukin (IL)-4-loaded liposomes (Ls) are modified on PLLA microspheres through amide bonds to produce IL-4/Ls/PLLA microspheres, providing a "molecular signal" in stimulating the differentiation of macrophages to M2 type. It is confirmed that IL-4/Ls/PLLA microspheres could induce M2-macrophages polarization and potentiate osteoblast proliferation and differentiation while coculturing with macrophages and osteoblasts in vitro. Besides, IL-4/Ls/PLLA microspheres are proved to promote bone defect regeneration by inducing the conversion of M1 macrophages to M2 through dual biosignal-functional regulation in both the calvaria defect and maxillary sinus defect models. Overall, the immuno-reprogrammed IL-4/Ls/PLLA microspheres achieve the precise immuno-reprogramming of macrophages by dual biosignal-functional regulation. This immune reengineering strategy paves a way for clinical bone defect treatment.

Abstract
Dental enamel is the hardest tissue in the human body, providing external protection for the tooth against masticatory forces, temperature changes and chemical stimuli. Once enamel is damaged/altered by genetic defects, dental caries, trauma, and/or dental wear, it cannot repair itself due to the loss of enamel producing cells following the tooth eruption. The current restorative dental materials are unable to replicate physico-mechanical, esthetic features and crystal structures of the native enamel. Thus, development of alternative approaches to repair and regenerate enamel defects is much needed but remains challenging due to the structural and functional complexities involved. This review paper summarizes the clinical aspects to be taken into consideration for the development of optimal therapeutic approaches to tackle dental enamel defects. It also provides a comprehensive overview of the emerging acellular and cellular approaches proposed for enamel remineralization and regeneration. Acellular approaches aim to artificially synthesize or re-mineralize enamel, whereas cell-based strategies aim to mimic the natural process of enamel development given that epithelial cells can be stimulated to produce enamel postnatally during the adult life. The key issues and current challenges are also discussed here, along with new perspectives for future research to advance the field of regenerative dentistry.

Abstract
Overall perspective of nanotechnology and reinforcement of dental biomaterials by nanoparticles has been reported in the literature. However, the literature regarding the reinforcement of dental biomaterials after incorporating various nanostructures is sparse. The present review addresses current developments of glass ionomer cements (GICs) after incorporating various metallic, polymeric, inorganic and carbon-based nanostructures. In addition, types, applications, and implications of various nanostructures incorporated in GICs are discussed. Most of the attempts by researchers are based on the laboratory-based studies; hence, it warrants long-term clinical trials to aid the development of suitable materials for the load bearing posterior dentition. Nevertheless, a few meaningful conclusions are drawn from this substantial piece of work; they are as follows: (1) most of the nanostructures are likely to enhance the mechanical strength of GICs; (2) certain nanostructures improve the antibacterial activity of GICs against the cariogenic bacteria; (3) clinical translation of these promising outcomes are completely missing, and (4) the nanostructured modified GICs could perform better than their conventional counterparts in the load bearing posterior dentition.

Abstract
Nanomaterials are commonly considered as those materials in which the shape and molecular composition at a nanometer scale can be controlled. Subsequently, they present extraordinary properties that are being useful for the development of new and improved applications in many fields, including medicine. In dentistry, several research efforts are being conducted, especially during the last decade, for the improvement of the properties of materials used in dentistry. The objective of the present article is to offer the audience a complete and comprehensive review of the main applications that have been developed in dentistry, by the use of these materials, during the last two decades. It was shown how these materials are improving the treatments in mainly all the important areas of dentistry, such as endodontics, periodontics, implants, tissue engineering and restorative dentistry. The scope of the present review is, subsequently, to revise the main applications regarding nano-shaped materials in dentistry, including nanorods, nanofibers, nanotubes, nanospheres/nanoparticles, and zeolites and other orders porous materials. The results of the bibliographic analysis show that the most explored nanomaterials in dentistry are graphene and carbon nanotubes, and their derivatives. A detailed analysis and a comparative study of their applications show that, although they are quite similar, graphene-based materials seem to be more promising for most of the applications of interest in dentistry. The bibliographic study also demonstrated the potential of zeolite-based materials, although the low number of studies on their applications shows that they have not been totally explored, as well as other porous nanomaterials that have found important applications in medicine, such as metal organic frameworks, have not been explored. Subsequently, it is expected that the research effort will concentrate on graphene and zeolite-based materials in the coming years. Thus, the present review paper presents a detailed bibliographic study, with more than 200 references, in order to briefly describe the main achievements that have been described in dentistry using nanomaterials, compare and analyze them in a critical way, with the aim of predicting the future challenges.

Abstract
It is well-accepted that most osteogenic differentiation processes do need growth factors assistance to improve efficiency. As a material cue, hydroxyapatite (HAp) can promote osteogenic differentiation of stem cells only in a way. Up to now, rare work related to the relationship between HAp nanostructures and stem cells in osteogenic differentiation process without the assistance of growth factors has been reported. In this study, one-dimensional (1D) HAp nanostructures with tunable length were synthesized by an oleic acid assisted solvothermal method by adjusting the alcohol/water ratio (η). The morphology of 1D HAp nanostructures can be changed from long nanowires into nanorods with the η value change. Different substrates constructed by 1D HAp nanostructures were prepared to investigate the effect of morphology of nanostructured HAp on stem cell fate without any growth factors or differentiation induce media. Human adipose-derived stem cells (hADSCs), a kind of promising stem cell for autologous stem cell tissue engineering, were used as the stem cell model. The experiments prove that HAp morphology can determine the performance of hADSCs cultured on different substrates. Substrate constructed by HAp nanorods (100 nm) is of little benefit to osteogenic differentiations. Substrate constructed on HAp long nanowires (50 μm) causes growth and spread inhibition of hADSCs, which even causes most cells death after 7 days of culture. However, substrate constructed by HAp short nanowires (5 μm) can destine the hADSCs differentiation to osteoblasts efficiently in normal medium (after 3 weeks) without any growth factors. It is surprise that hADSCs have changed to polyhedral morphology and exhibited the tendency to osteogenic differentiation after only 24 h culture. Hydroxyapatite nanostructures mediated stem cell osteogenic differentiation excluding growth factors provides a powerful cue to design biomaterials with special nanostructures, and helps to elucidate the interaction of stem cell and biomaterials nanostructures. The results from this study are promising for application in bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Metal ions are frequently incorporated into crystalline materials to improve their electrochemical properties and to confer new physicochemical properties. Naturally-occurring phosphate apatite, which is formed geologically and in biomineralization processes, has extensive potential applications and is therefore an attractive functional material. In this study, we generate a novel building block for flexible optoelectronics using bio-inspired methods to deposit a layer of photoactive titanium-modified hydroxyapatite (TiHA) nanoparticles (NPs) on conductive polypyrrole(PPy)-coated wool yarns. The titanium concentration in the reaction solution was varied between 8-50 mol% with respect to the phosphorous, which led to titanate ions replacing phosphate in the hydroxyapatite lattice at levels up to 17 mol%. PPy was separately deposited on wool yarns by oxidative polymerization, using two dopants: (i) anthraquinone-2,6-disulfonic acid to increase the conductivity of the PPy layer and (ii) pyroglutamic acid, to reduce the resistivity of the wool yarns and to promote the heterogeneous nucleation of the TiHA NPs. A specific titanium concentration (25 mol% wrt P) was used to endow the TiHA NPs on the PPy-coated fibers with a desirable band gap value of 3.68 eV, and a specific surface area of 146 m2 g-1. This is the first time that a thin film of a wide-band gap semiconductor has been deposited on natural fibers to create a fiber-based building block that can be used to manufacture flexible electronic devices.

Abstract
Human tooth enamel has tightly packed c-axis-oriented hydroxyapatite (HAP: Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2) nanorods with high elastic modulus. Fabrication of an enamel architecture in vitro supports the repair of teeth using HAP; however, existing methods require complex and laborious steps to form an enamel-like structure. Here we present a very simple and effective technique for forming artificial enamel in near-physiological solution using a substrate composed of amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) nanoparticles. Without any functionalized modification of the substrate surface, faint dissolution and successive phase transformation automatically induce formation of an intermediate layer of low-crystalline HAP nanoparticles, on which highly oriented HAP nanorods grow by geometrical selection. We also show that an enamel structure forms on a substrate of amorphous calcium carbonate when the surface nanoparticles react so as to form an intermediate layer similar to that in ACP. Our results demonstrate that there is a wide range of substrate choices for nanorod array formation. Contrary to current understanding, a stable surface designed in nanoscale is not essential for the growth of arranged guest crystals. Reactive amorphous nanoparticles and their transformation efficiently induce a nanorod array structure.

Abstract
Nanotechnology has paved multiple ways in preventing, reversing or restoring dental caries which is one of the major health care problems. Nanotechnology aided in processing variety of nanomaterials with innovative dental applications. Some showed antimicrobial effect helping in the preventive stage. Others have remineralizing potential intercepting early lesion progression as nanosized calcium phosphate, carbonate hydroxyapatite nanocrystals, nanoamorphous calcium phosphate and nanoparticulate bioactive glass particularly with provision of self-assembles protein that furnish essential role in biomimetic repair. The unique size of nanomaterials makes them fascinating carriers for dental products. Thus, it is recentlyclaimedthat fortifying the adhesives with nanomaterials that possess biological meritsdoes not only enhance the mechanical and physical properties of the adhesives, but also help to attain and maintain a durable adhesive joint and enhanced longevity. Accordingly, this review will focus on the current status and the future implications of nanotechnology in preventive and adhesive dentistry.
