Abstract
Objective: To evaluate effects of dentin collagen versus Er:YAG laser application through enhancing human periodontal ligament fibroblast (PDLF) cells to attach to intact root surfaces imitating delayed replanted roots. Background Data: Accidental traumatic injuries with teeth avulsion are managed by replantation. Root resorption, poor conditioning, and non-viable fibroblasts are factors responsible for failure. Methods: Thirty six human healthy single-rooted premolars were collected. Six teeth were used for PDLF, six teeth used for dentin collagen, whereas the remaining 24 teeth (48 root slices) were used for PDLF cell density and morphology. Each root was soaked in 5.25% NaOCl. Three groups (n = 16 slices/each) were planned as follows: I: Control (untreated); II: dentin collagen application; III: Er:YAG laser irradiation (4 mm distance, 40 mJ/pulse, under coolant). Following incubation, cell density and morphology of PDLF were investigated under SEM. Statistical analysis was performed using analysis of variance with Scheffé's test, and p < 0.05 was considered significant. Results: All groups showed increased cultured PDLF following incubation. Regarding cell density, attached PDLFs were significantly lower in untreated controls (36.5 ± 6.36) (p < 0.00001 i.e., <0.05) in negative empty and/or light cellular areas, compared with dentin collagen (65 ± 6) and laser-irradiated (66.75 ± 5.77) groups that did not show significant differences (p = 0.940 i.e., >0.05) and showed intermediate and/or heavy cellular areas. Regarding cell morphology, controls showed round and/or oval appearance with less lamellipodia, whereas dentin collagen and laser groups showed flat morphology with cytoplasmic processes. Conclusions: Both dentin collagen and Er:YAG laser showed comparable effectiveness as biomodification tools with good biocompatibility for human PDLF cell attachment on intact root slices imitating delayed replantation. Dentin collagen as a natural bioactive material is considered an alternative to Er:YAG laser to enhance the regenerative effects.

Abstract
Background: Intentional replantation (IR) is an emerging and cost-effective last-resort treatment for persistent apical periodontitis. Adjunctive phototherapy for IR aims to improve the management of challenging cases by enhancing disinfection, stimulating healing and promoting regeneration. Objective: We report a novel phototherapy-assisted IR protocol conducted on a compromised lateral incisor with an extensive periapical infection (Ø > 10 mm) in a 68-year-old diabetic male. Methods: The IR protocol involved pre- and postoperative photobiomodulation (660 nm, 0.2 J/cm2, 60 sec/site), antimicrobial photodynamic therapy of the root surface (660 nm, 0.6 J/cm2, 30 sec, methylene blue photosensitizer), and Er:YAG root and socket debridement (2940 nm, 21 J/cm2, 30 sec). The total time from extraction to replantation was 14 min 35 sec. Results: The tooth at 3.5-year follow-up remained clinically functional with radiographic resolution of the infection indicating a successful reimplantation. Conclusions: This case report demonstrated that an adjunctive phototherapy IR protocol can effectively treat a compromised tooth with extensive periapical infection.

[PMID: 38041248 DOI: 10.1002/jbio.202300332] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/19/2023] [Revised: 11/20/2023] [Accepted: 11/20/2023] [Indexed: 12/03/2023]
Abstract
The erbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Er: YAG) laser has been successfully applied in caries removal; however, little is known about proper parameters of Er: YAG laser on different conditions of caries removal, especially the influence of Er: YAG irradiation on human dental pulp cells (hDPCs). Here, we tested the effects of Er: YAG laser at different output energy levels (100, 200, 300, 400, and 500 mJ) on biobehaviors of hDPCs. To simulate clinical deep caries conditions, hDPCs were cultured on the pulpal side of 500-μm-thick dentin disks in an in vitro pulp chamber model. Temperature change, structural change, and ablation depth of dentin disk were also recorded. The findings suggested that the biological behaviors of hDPCs are strongly correlated with the energy output of the Er: YAG laser. Er: YAG laser irradiation at 100 mJ may be proper and safe for deep caries removal since it would not cause any adverse effect on hDPCs biobehaviors.

Saudi Dent J 2023; 35:547-552. [PMID: 37520595 PMCID: PMC10373072 DOI: 10.1016/j.sdentj.2023.05.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2023] [Revised: 05/04/2023] [Accepted: 05/07/2023] [Indexed: 08/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Gingival recession is a characteristic indicator of periodontitis and one of the factors that contributes to increased tooth clinical crown length. Patients with root exposure frequently undergo periodontal surgical procedures in addition to adjunctive therapy to increase root coverage area and soft tissue stability. Purpose This study aimed to evaluate fibroblast-root surface adhesion and determine whether periodontitis-damaged root surface microstructure can be restored using ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and an enamel matrix derivative (EMD), individually or in combination. Material and methods Teeth extracted from patients with periodontal disease were used to create 60 samples, with each group containing six specimens. The test groups were provided root planing or root condition-specific materials (hyaluronic acid [HA], 24% EDTA, EMD, or EDTA/EMD) for varying treatment time periods. In contrast, the control group did not undergo any surface modifications. The samples and fibroblast cells were incubated for 72 h. The number of living cells on the root surface in each group was calculated using a 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay (cell viability assessment). Results The control, root planing, and EMD groups showed that the root surfaces treated with EDTA for 4 min had significantly better cell adhesion. Surface EDTA treatment for 2 min significantly promoted cell attachment compared to root planing treatment. The root surfaces modified with EDTA/EMD for 2 and 4 min showed significantly improved cellular migration and adhesion compared to the root surface treated with root planing. Conclusion EDTA and EDTA/EMD substantially affected the root surface, which was related to the length of the treatment process. This effect shifts the surface properties, alters fibroblast interactions with the root surface, and recruits more cells to cover a larger area.

Abstract
Aims The aim of the current study was to examine the effects of diode laser (970 nm) when used as adjunct to mechanical debridement on reattachment of fibroblast cell cultures to the root surface. Materials and Methods Eighteen extracted single-rooted human teeth were used in the study. Briefly, the anatomical crowns were removed; roots were sectioned and preserved in antiseptic solution. The sections were divided into three groups: (i) scaling and root planing (SRP), (ii) SRP followed by diode laser exposure and (iii) untreated control group. All the sections were inoculated with NIH 3T3 mouse fibroblast cell lines and cell attachment was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy analysis and growth was quantitatively assessed by MTT assay after days 1, 3 and 5. Results On intragroup analysis, there was significant cell proliferation seen on day 1 and day 5. However, no significant differences were observed between the treatment groups at the various time points. Conclusion 970-nm diode laser exposure had a positive effect in enhancing the fibroblast reattachment to root surfaces. However, to ascertain the role of laser treatment in enhancing the rapid cell growth compared to SRP, further quantitative studies with more sample numbers are required.

Abstract
Objectives Nd:YAG and Er:YAG lasers have been previously used as an adjunct in periodontal therapy. The aim of this single-blinded randomized controlled clinical trial was to evaluate the efficacy of a combined application of Nd:YAG and Er:YAG laser irradiation in periodontal treatment. Materials and methods Twenty-two patients with at least one site of ≥ 6 mm periodontal probing depth (PPD) after mechanical debridement with curettes and sonic instruments at periodontal reevaluation were included in the study. Patients were randomly allocated at a 1:1 ratio to either a combined Nd:YAG/Er:YAG laser therapy (test group) or a “turned off” laser therapy (control group). The Nd:YAG laser was used for periodontal pocket deepithelialization and to stabilize the resulting blood clot. The Er:YAG laser was primarily used for root surface modification. PPD (mm), clinical attachment level (CAL, mm), and bleeding on probing (BOP, +/−) at the site of laser treatment were evaluated at baseline and 2 months after treatment. Results The mean improvements from baseline to 2-month follow-up for PPD were significantly better in the laser group (2.05 ± 0.82 mm) compared to the control group (0.64 ± 0.90 mm; p = 0.001). Likewise, the gain in CAL was significantly better in the laser group (1.50 ± 1.10 mm) than in the control group (0.55 ± 1.01mm; p = 0.046). Conclusions The combined application of Nd:YAG and Er:YAG laser irradiation as an adjunct to conventional non-surgical therapy showed a significant beneficial effect on periodontal treatment results. Clinical relevance Combined Nd:YAG and Er:YAG laser irradiation could be a useful procedure additionally to conventional non-surgical periodontal therapy to improve periodontal treatment results.
