Hyaluronic Acid Treatment of Post-Extraction Tooth Socket Healing in Subjects with Diabetes Mellitus Type 2: A Randomized Split-Mouth Controlled Study. J Clin Med 2024; 13:452. [PMID: 38256586 PMCID: PMC10816872 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13020452] [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: 11/27/2023] [Revised: 01/03/2024] [Accepted: 01/09/2024] [Indexed: 01/24/2024] Open
Abstract
The present study aimed to investigate the effect of HA in improving post-extraction socket healing in subjects with diabetes mellitus (DM) type 2. DM patients requiring bilateral extraction of the homologous teeth were visited at the C.I.R. Dental School, University of Turin. After the extractions, one site was randomly assigned to the test (T) group (postoperative application of HA), while the other site was assigned to the control group (C, no treatment). Patients were then followed after 3, 7, 14, and 21 days. Primary outcomes were the healing index and socket closure. The Mann-Whitney test or the Student's t-test was used for nonparametric or parametric distributed variables. The chi-square test was used if the estimated data in any given cell were >5, otherwise the Fisher test was adopted. A p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. In total, 36 patients (n = 36) were enrolled in this study for a total of 72 extractions (n = 72). Sockets treated with HA showed significantly (p < 0.05) better healing index values at day 7 (p = 0.01) and at day 14 (p = 0.02) and significantly (p < 0.05) better socket closure values at day 3 (p = 0.04), day 7 (p = 0.001) and day 14 (p = 0.001) compared to the C group. Based on the clinical results, HA seems to be promising in improving the timing and the quality of post-extractive wound healing in DM patients. Further clinical research, as well as histological investigations, are required to confirm the results.

Abstract
Metformin is a versatile drug with numerous medical uses. It is known primarily as an anti-hyperglycemic drug that has become the main oral blood-glucose-lowering medication for managing type 2 diabetes mellitus globally. Its use has been reported in a variety of oral conditions and dentistry in general. Recent clinical trials have indicated the effectiveness of adjunct topical application of metformin in improving the periodontal parameters of patients with diabetes and periodontitis. Additionally, studies have suggested that metformin stimulates odontogenic differentiation and mineral synthesis of stem cells in the tooth pulp. Metformin also stimulates osteoblast proliferation, decreases osteoclast activity and exerts regenerative effects on periodontal bone, thus making it a viable candidate for periodontal regeneration. Metformin monotherapy significantly enhances osseointegration of endosseous implants and has been reported to have anti-cancer effects on oral squamous cell carcinoma by impeding tumor progression. Animal studies have indicated that metformin improves orthodontic tooth movement and resists orthodontic appliance corrosion. This narrative review aims to provide a current summary of research highlighting the prospective uses of metformin in dentistry.

Impact of Metformin on Periodontal and Peri-Implant Soft and Hard Tissue. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2023; 20:1095. [PMID: 36673851 PMCID: PMC9859401 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph20021095] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/13/2022] [Revised: 01/02/2023] [Accepted: 01/05/2023] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Periodontal and peri-implant soft and hard tissue in diabetic patients have always been a topic of interest for researchers and clinicians alike. Among which, a subtopic that has attracted more attention is the beneficial effect of metformin (MF) on periodontal and peri-implant soft and hard tissue. This review aimed to assess the impact of MF on the periodontal and peri-implant soft- and hard-tissue healing among diabetic patients. Research was conducted using the keywords 'metformin', 'diabetes', 'periodontitis', 'implant', and 'peri-implantitis' via the Medline (PubMed) and Google Scholar databases. Selected articles were reviewed. A total of 21 articles, discussing the impact on periodontal health (six animal studies, seven clinical studies, and three systematic reviews) and five studies on peri-implant health (four animal studies and one clinical study) were included. All have reported a positive impact of MF on decreasing the inflammatory response, oxidative stress, and ultimate bone loss. Similarly, human studies reported a positive effect of MF on clinical and radiographic parameters compared with controls. Despite systematic reviews reporting heterogeneity among the included studies, MF has shown a positive impact on periodontal health. In animal, clinical studies, and systematic reviews, MF showed a protective impact on periodontal and peri-implant health.

Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2022; 15:ph15121518. [PMID: 36558969 PMCID: PMC9784528 DOI: 10.3390/ph15121518] [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: 11/08/2022] [Revised: 11/29/2022] [Accepted: 11/29/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Animal studies have ascertained that hyperglycemia adversely affects bone metabolism and dental implant osseointegration. However, diabetic patients show low occurrence of unfavorable hard or soft peri-implant tissue changes, differences that are possibly due to treatment with anti-diabetic medications. This scoping review aimed to systematically examine the effects of these drugs on implant outcomes and explore the predictive modality of animal studies for clinical practice according to type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Three electronic databases (MEDLINE, EBSCOHost, and Cochrane) were searched according to the PRISMA-ScR standards for studies on diabetic animals that received titanium implants and anti-diabetic treatments. Risk assessment was performed using the SYRCLE Risk-of-Bias (RoB) tool. Twenty-one papers were included, encompassing six types of medications. Fifteen studies were on T1DM animals, and only six involved T2DM models. T1DM animals were treated with non-insulin drugs in four investigations, while insulin was utilized in 11 other studies. In T2DM experiments, five administered non-insulin drugs, and only one applied locally delivered insulin. Only insulin in T1DM studies produced a positive influence on bone-implant contact (BIC), bone mineral content, and removal torque values. Inappropriate drug selection, inadequate glycemic control, and high RoB depict a mismatch between the research focus and the translational rationale to clinical practice. There remains a knowledge gap regarding T2DM investigations due to the lack of studies. More data are needed concerning intraoral implants and the performance of osseointegrated implants in patients with a later onset of diabetes. Future research should reflect the pathophysiology and treatment of each type of diabetes to ensure clinical applicability.

Abstract
Dental implants are prosthetic devices that are surgically placed in direct contact with the jawbone to support intra-oral functions and esthetics. Diabetes mellitus may contribute to peri-implant bone loss. During the last few years, there have been attempts to reduce this bone loss and improve the survival rate of implants. Metformin, an anti-diabetic drug known for its osteogenic properties, is thought to prevent peri-implant bone loss in diabetic patients. Although several studies have been conducted to study metformin's effect on diabetic and non-diabetic study models, no systematic review has analyzed and summarized these studies critically. Therefore, the objectives of this systematic review were to summarize the outcomes of these studies and critically appraise them. Seven studies were included in this systematic review. Four studies used only animal models, two used both animal and cell culture models, and one used only cell culture studies. The general characteristics and outcomes of the included studies were summarized, and Animal Research: Reporting of In Vivo Experiments (ARRIVE) guidelines were used to assess the quality of the animal studies. In vitro studies indicate that metformin may induce stem cells to undergo osteoblastic differentiation to produce a higher amount of bone and may also improve osseointegration. Nevertheless, several studies had potential sources of bias. Therefore, it is recommended that emphasis be placed on increasing the quality of future animal studies and human trials to determine the effects of metformin on the osseointegration of dental implants. Future studies are needed with adequate follow-up to evaluate the efficacy of metformin in improving the osseointegration of dental implants.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a common systematic chronic disease amongst dental patients. The elevated glucose microenvironment can prolong the healing of tooth extraction sockets. Therefore, the promotion of healing up tooth extraction sockets is of great clinical importance to the patients with diabetes mellitus. The current evidence indicates the mechanism of the recovery period of extraction sockets in hyperglycaemia conditions from physiological, inflammation, immune, endocrine and neural aspects. New advancements have been made in varied curative approaches and drugs in the management of wound healing of tooth extraction sockets in diabetes. However, most of the interventions are still in the stage of animal experiments, and whether it can be put into clinical application still needs further explorations. Specifically, our work showed topical administration of plasma-rich growth factor, advanced platelet-rich fibrin, leukocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin and hyaluronic acid as well as maxillary immediate complete denture is regarded as a promising approach for clinical management of diabetic patients requiring extractions. Overall, recent studies present a blueprint for new advances in novel and effective approaches for this worldwide health ailment and tooth extraction sockets healing.

Abstract
Background Diabetic wounds are characterized by delayed healing and impaired angiogenesis. Aloe vera and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) are reported to facilitate wound healing, and the former also has hypoglycemic property. Matrix metalloproteinases are enzymes that play a role in diabetic wound pathogenesis. Objective To investigate whether oral Aloe vera can enhance the efficacy of HUVEC transplantation and inhibit the expression of matrix metalloproteinases in wound healing of diabetic mice. Materials and methods BALB/c nude mice were randomly assigned into five groups: normal control group, diabetic group (DM), DM transplanted with HUVECs, DM treated with oral Aloe vera, and DM treated with combined HUVECs and oral Aloe vera. Diabetes was induced by streptozotocin. Bilateral full-thickness excision cutaneous wounds were created. At days 7 and 14 post-wounding, the following parameters were determined: blood glucose, wound area, wound perfusion, capillary vascularity, re-epithelialization rate and tissue VEGF levels. Tissue expressions of MMP-2 and MMP-9 were compared between the DM mice and those treated with oral Aloe vera. Results Over days 7 and 14, Aloe vera exerted glucose-lowering effect in diabetic mice. Higher wound closure rate, blood flow and capillary vascularity, and lower MMP-2 and MMP-9 expressions were observed at both time points in DM treated with Aloe vera group compared with DM group (P < 0.05). Moreover, combined therapy of HUVECs and oral Aloe vera was more effective than Aloe vera or HUVECs alone in increasing VEGF levels, capillary vascularity and wound perfusion. Blood glucose levels were negatively correlated with angiogenesis (P = 0.000. Conclusion It is suggested that oral Aloe vera enhances the efficacy of HUVEC transplantation on diabetic wound angiogenesis, partly through improving glycemic control. Oral Aloe vera also promotes diabetic wound healing via inhibition of MMP-2 and MMP-9 expressions.

Abstract
Biomedical research seeks to generate experimental results for translation to clinical settings. In order to improve the transition from bench to bedside, researchers must draw justifiable conclusions based on data from an appropriate model. Animal testing, as a prerequisite to human clinical exposure, is performed in a range of species, from laboratory mice to larger animals (such as dogs or non-human primates). Minipigs appear to be the animal of choice for studying bone surgery around intraoral dental implants. Dog models, well-known in the field of dental implant research, tend now to be used for studies conducted under compromised oral conditions (biofilm). Regarding small animal models, research studies mostly use rodents, with interest in rabbit models declining. Mouse models remain a reference for genetic studies. On the other hand, over the last decade, scientific advances and government guidelines have led to the replacement, reduction, and refinement of the use of all animal models in dental implant research. In new development strategies, some in vivo experiments are being progressively replaced by in vitro or biomaterial approaches. In this review, we summarize the key information on the animal models currently available for dental implant research and highlight (i) the pros and cons of each type, (ii) new levels of decisional procedures regarding study objectives, and (iii) the outlook for animal research, discussing possible non-animal options.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to explore the effects of metformin on osteogenic differentiation of alveolar bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) from type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients (DM-BMSCs) and implant osseointegration in rats, screen the optimal concentration, and investigate whether metformin could protect against the adverse impact of T2DM on BMSC osteogenic capacity. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Different concentrations of metformin were administered to human-derived BMSCs and Wistar rats receiving implants. ALP detection, alizarin red staining, real-time RT-PCR and Western blotting were performed to detect osteogenesis and investigate the mechanism. Toluidine blue staining was performed to analyse bone-implant contact in rats. RESULTS Metformin increased implant osseointegration in a rat model and promoted the osteogenic capacity of DM-BMSCs via the AMPK/BMP/Smad signalling pathway, and 125 μM was the optimal concentration; however, concentrations over 200 µM, metformin showed an inhibitory effect on DM-BMSCs. Additionally, metformin at the optimal concentration (125 µM) identified in this study could compensate for the negative impacts of T2DM on the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. CONCLUSIONS Metformin can promote the osteogenesis of BMSCs from T2DM patients and osseointegration in rats, and it might be an effective drug for increasing the success rate of T2DM-associated implants.

Abstract
Clinical performance of osseointegrated implants could be compromised by the medications taken by patients. The effect of a specific medication on osseointegration can be easily investigated using traditional systematic reviews. However, assessment of all known medications requires the use of evidence mapping methods. These methods allow assessment of complex questions, but they are very resource intensive when done manually. The objective of this study was to develop a machine learning algorithm to automatically map the literature assessing the effect of medications on osseointegration. Datasets of articles classified manually were used to train a machine-learning algorithm based on Support Vector Machines. The algorithm was then validated and used to screen 599,604 articles identified with an extremely sensitive search strategy. The algorithm included 281 relevant articles that described the effect of 31 different drugs on osseointegration. This approach achieved an accuracy of 95%, and compared to manual screening, it reduced the workload by 93%. The systematic mapping revealed that the treatment outcomes of osseointegrated medical devices could be influenced by drugs affecting homeostasis, inflammation, cell proliferation and bone remodeling. The effect of all known medications on the performance of osseointegrated medical devices can be assessed using evidence mappings executed with highly accurate machine learning algorithms.

Abstract
Objectives In this research it was aimed to that evaluation of the effects of systemic metformin administration on the periimplant bone tissue response of TiAl6Va4 implants in experimental rat model. Materials and method Firstly TiAl6Va4 implants were inserted surgically in the metaphyseal part of the tibial bone and after, the rats were randomly separated into two groups: Controls (CNT) (n = 10) and Metformin group (M) (n = 10). No additional treatment was applied to the controls during the 4-week experimental period. Rats received 40 mg/kg metformin in every day during the four week experimental period in M group. At the end of the 28-day follow-up period, the TiAl6Va4 implants with surrounding bone were used for the histopathologic analysis. To analysis of the datas between M and CNT Student-T Test was used. Result Periimplant bone tissue filling ratios (%) were detected higher in M group compared with the CNT (P < 0.05). Conclusion Systemic administration of metformin may increases titanium implant osseointegration in non-diabetic rats.

Abstract
Background Implantology or implant dentistry is growing fast during last four decades. Facing the growing demand of implant treatment, there are extreme challenges to clinicians and researchers. First is peri-implantitis with remarkable prevalence. Though investigators have revealed that the etiology of the peri-implant infection is similar to periodontitis, clinically there is no effective treatment. Second, implantation in patients with severe systemic conditions, i.e., severe diabetes, lupus, osteoporosis, organ transplant, and cancer with intensive radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy, is another challenge to implant treatment for lack of scientific research data. Animal models are crucial to help investigators reveal the mechanisms underlying these disorders. Murine models are used most commonly. Rats are the better subject in dental implant research, due to mice could not provide clinical compatible and macro-level measurable data for implant osseointegration and peri-implantitis in oral cavity for lacking enough cancellous bone to support an implant more than 1 mm in length. Objective Our aim of this research is to find a clinical comparable rat dental implant model. Methods Six male Sprague-Dawley rats with body weight more than 500 g were used in the experiment. Each rat received two implants. One implant was placed at maxillary diastema in each side. Seven weeks after the implantation, only one implant successfully osseointegrated without movement and inflammation. Implant success and failure rate is analyzed by using Clopper-Pearson’s exact method at 95% confidence interval. Results The present data indicate that the true success rate of implantation in maxillary natural diastema in rat is less than 38.4% at a confident level of 95%. Meanwhile, Micro-CT indicates maxillary first molar position will be a promising site for implantation. Conclusion Maxillary nature diastema may not be an appropriate site for implantation research for its low successful rate, but maxillary first molar position could be a candidate for implantation research. Further researches are required to illustrate the details.

Abstract
Persons with type 1 or type 2 diabetes have a significantly higher fracture risk than age-matched persons without diabetes, attributed to disease-specific deficits in the microarchitecture and material properties of bone tissue. Therefore, independent effects of diabetes drugs on skeletal integrity are vitally important. Studies of incretin-based therapies have shown divergent effects of different agents on fracture risk, including detrimental, beneficial, and neutral effects. The sulfonylurea class of drugs, owing to its hypoglycemic potential, is thought to amplify the risk of fall-related fractures, particularly in the elderly. Other agents such as the biguanides may, in fact, be osteo-anabolic. In contrast, despite similarly expected anabolic properties of insulin, data suggests that insulin pharmacotherapy itself, particularly in type 2 diabetes, may be a risk factor for fracture, negatively associated with determinants of bone quality and bone strength. Finally, sodium-dependent glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors have been associated with an increased risk of atypical fractures in select populations, and possibly with an increase in lower extremity amputation with specific SGLT2I drugs. The role of skeletal muscle, as a potential mediator and determinant of bone quality, is also a relevant area of exploration. Currently, data regarding the impact of glucose lowering medications on diabetes-related muscle atrophy is more limited, although preclinical studies suggest that various hypoglycemic agents may have either aggravating (sulfonylureas, glinides) or repairing (thiazolidinediones, biguanides, incretins) effects on skeletal muscle atrophy, thereby influencing bone quality. Hence, the therapeutic efficacy of each hypoglycemic agent must also be evaluated in light of its impact, alone or in combination, on musculoskeletal health, when determining an individualized treatment approach. Moreover, the effect of newer medications (potentially seeking expanded clinical indication into the pediatric age range) on the growing skeleton is largely unknown. Herein, we review the available literature regarding effects of diabetes pharmacotherapy, by drug class and/or by clinical indication, on the musculoskeletal health of persons with diabetes.

Abstract
Introduction Impaired diabetic wound healing is an important issue in diabetic complications. The present study aims to evaluate the protective effect on glycemic control against impaired diabetic wound healing using a diabetic rat model. We investigated the wound healing process and effect on the impaired wound repair by glycemic control in the Spontaneously Diabetic Torii (SDT) fatty rat, which is a new animal model of obese type 2 diabetes and may be a good model for study impaired wound healing. Material and methods Male SDT fatty rats at 15 weeks of age were administered orally with sodium glucose co-transporter (SGLT) 2 inhibitor for 3 weeks. Wounds were induced at 2 weeks after SGLT 2 inhibitor treatment, and the wound areas were periodically examined in morphological and histological analyses. Results The SDT fatty rats showed a delayed wound healing as compared with the normal rats, but a glycemic control improved the impaired wound healing. In histological analysis in the skin of SDT fatty rats showed severe infiltration of inflammatory cell, hemorrhage and many bacterial masses in the remaining and slight fibrosis of crust on skin tissue. Thought that this results skin performance to be a delay of crust formation and regeneration of epithelium; however, these findings were ameliorated in the SGLT 2 inhibitor treated group. Conclusion Glycemic control is effective for treatment in diabetic wounds and the SDT fatty rat may be useful to investigate pathophysiological changes in impaired diabetic wound healing.

Abstract
Several behavioral and pharmacological strategies improve longevity, which is indicative of delayed organismal aging, with the most effective interventions extending both life- and healthspan. In free living creatures, maintaining health and function into old age requires resilience against a multitude of stressors. Conversely, in experimental settings, conventional housing of rodents limits exposure to such challenges, thereby obscuring an accurate assessment of resilience. Caloric restriction (CR) and exercise, as well as pharmacologic strategies (resveratrol, rapamycin, metformin, senolytics), are well established to improve indices of health and aging, but some paradoxical effects have been observed on resilience. For instance, CR potently retards the onset of age-related diseases, and improves lifespan to a greater extent than exercise in a variety of models. However, exercise has proven more consistently beneficial to organismal resilience against a broad array of stressors, including infections, surgery, wound healing and frailty. CR can improve cellular stress defenses and protect from frailty, but also impairs the response to infections, bed rest and healing. How an intervention will impact not only longevity, health and function, but also resiliency, is critical to better understanding translational implications. Thus, organismal robustness represents a critical, albeit understudied aspect of aging, which needs more careful attention in order to better inform on how putative age-delaying strategies will impact preservation of health and function in response to stressors with aging in humans.

Abstract
The Goto-Kakizaki (GK) rat is a spontaneous type 2 diabetic animal model, which is characterized by a progressive loss of beta islet cells with fibrosis. In the present study, the hypoglycemic effect of asiatic acid (AA) in GK rats was examined. GK rats receiving AA at a daily dose of 25 mg·kg(-1) for four weeks showed a significant reduction in blood glucose levels. Age-matched normal Wistar rats were given 0.5% sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC-Na) solution for the same periods and used as control. Compared to the normal Wistar rats, GK rats treated with AA showed improvement in insulin resistance partially through decreasing glucose level (P < 0.01) and insulin level (P < 0.05). Furthermore, the results of immunohistochemistry indicate that AA treatment reduced islet fibrosis in GK rats. Fibronectin, a key protein related to islet fibrosis, was over-expressed in GK rats, which was reversed significantly by AA treatment (P < 0.05). These findings suggest that AA has a beneficial effect on lowering blood glucose levels in GK rats and improves fibrosis of islets in diabetes, which may play a role in the prevention of islets dysfunction.
