Abstract
Since the advent of nanoscience, nanobiomaterials have been applied in the dental industry. Graphene and its derivatives have attracted the most interest of all of them due to their exceptional look, biocompatibility, multiplication differential, and antibacterial capabilities. We outlined the most recent developments about their applications to dentistry in our review. There is discussion of the synthesis processes, architectures, and characteristics of materials based on graphene. The implications of graphene and its counterparts are then meticulously gathered and described. Finally, in an effort to inspire more excellent research, this paper explores the obstacles and potential of graphene-based nanomaterials for dental aspects.

[PMID: 37848582 DOI: 10.1007/s00784-023-05333-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2023] [Accepted: 10/10/2023] [Indexed: 10/19/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate the site-specific characteristics of rat mandible periosteal cells (MPCs) and tibia periosteal cells (TPCs) to assess the potential application of periosteal cells (PCs) in bone tissue engineering (BTE). MATERIALS AND METHODS MPCs and TPCs were isolated and characterized. The potential of proliferation, migration, osteogenesis and adipogenesis of MPCs and TPCs were evaluated by CCK-8, scratch assay, Transwell assay, alkaline phosphatase staining and activity, Alizarin Red S staining, RT‒qPCR, and Western blot (WB) assays, respectively. Then, these cells were cocultured with human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) to investigate their angiogenic capacity, which was assessed by scratch assay, Transwell assay, Matrigel tube formation assay, RT‒qPCR, and WB assays. RESULTS MPCs exhibited higher osteogenic potential, higher alkaline phosphatase activity, and more mineralized nodule formation, while TPCs showed a greater capability for proliferation, migration, and adipogenesis. MPCs showed higher expression of angiogenic factors, and the conditioned medium of MPCs accelerated the migration of HUVECs, while MPC- conditioned medium induced the formation of more tubular structure in HUVECs in vitro. These data suggest that compared to TPCs, MPCs exert more consequential proangiogenic effects on HUVECs. CONCLUSIONS PCs possess skeletal site-specific differences in biological characteristics. MPCs exhibit more eminent osteogenic and angiogenic potentials, which highlights the potential application of MPCs for BTE. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Autologous bone grafting as the main modality for maxillofacial bone defect repair has many limitations. Constituting an important cell type in bone repair and regeneration, MPCs show greater potential for application in BTE, which provides a promising treatment option for maxillofacial bone defect repair.

Abstract
The mandible (lower jaw) bone is aesthetically responsible for shaping the lower face, physiologically in charge of the masticatory movements, and phonetically accountable for the articulation of different phonemes. Thus, pathologies that result in great damage to the mandible severely impact the lives of patients. Mandibular reconstruction techniques are mainly based on the use of flaps, most notably free vascularized fibula flaps. However, the mandible is a craniofacial bone with unique characteristics. Its morphogenesis, morphology, physiology, biomechanics, genetic profile, and osteoimmune environment are different from any other non-craniofacial bone. This fact is especially important to consider during mandibular reconstruction, as all these differences result in unique clinical traits of the mandible that can impact the results of jaw reconstructions. Furthermore, overall changes in the mandible and the flap post-reconstruction may be dissimilar, and the replacement process of the bone graft tissue during healing can take years, which in some cases can result in postsurgical complications. Therefore, the present review highlights the uniqueness of the jaw and how this factor can influence the outcome of its reconstruction while using an exemplary clinical case of pseudoarthrosis in a free vascularized fibula flap.

Abstract
Postmenopausal osteoporosis (POP) is a chronic disease of bone metabolism that occurs in middle-aged and elderly women. POP can cause abnormalities of the skeletal system in the whole body, and the jaw bone is also impacted, affecting the function of the oral and maxillofacial regions. Mandibular bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MBMSCs) play an important role in mandibular bone metabolism, and abnormal differentiation of MBMSCs can affect the metabolic balance between new and old bone. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) can induce the differentiation of MBMSCs. In this study, the changes in biological characteristics of mandible and MBMSCs in the bone microenvironment of postmenopausal osteoporosis were firstly analyzed, and then the key miRNAs screened from miRNAs gene chips were sorted out for verification and functional exploration. It was found that miR-344d-3p promoted the osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 and MBMSCs. It inhibited the adipogenic differentiation of 3T3-L1 and MBMSCs. In addition, Dnmt3a may be the target gene of miR-344d-3p. In conclusion, this study found new biological indicators related to bone metabolism, which are of great significance in the field of bone reconstruction.

The Impact of Graphene Oxide on Polycaprolactone PCL Surfaces: Antimicrobial Activity and Osteogenic Differentiation of Mesenchymal Stem Cell. COATINGS 2022.

Abstract
In dentistry, bone regeneration requires osteoinductive biomaterial with antibacterial properties. Polycaprolactone (PCL) may be combined with different nanofillers including reduced graphene oxide (rGO). Here, the amount of rGO filler was defined to obtain a biocompatible and antibacterial PCL-based surface supporting the adhesion and differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Compounds carrying three different percentages of rGO were tested. Among all, the 5% rGO-PCL compound is the most bacteriostatic against Gram-positive bacteria. All scaffolds are biocompatible. MSCs adhere and proliferate on all scaffolds; however, 5% rGO-PCL surface supports the growth of cells and implements the expression of extracellular matrix components necessary to anchor the cells to the surface itself. Moreover, the 5% rGO-PCL surface has superior osteoinductive properties confirmed by the improved alkaline phosphatase activity, mineral matrix deposition, and osteogenic markers expression. These results suggest that 5% rGO-PCL has useful properties for bone tissue engineering purposes.

Abstract
Osteoporotic patients suffer from bone microstructure damage and are prone to fracture and bone defect. Due to the damage of bone healing ability, the bone repair of osteoporotic patients is usually slow. Here we aimed to explore the function and potential molecular mechanism of miR-100 in osteogenic differentiation ability of bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs). Ovariectomy was performed on mice to induce osteoporosis. BMSCs were extracted from normal and ovariectomized (OVX) mice to examine the effect of microRNA (miR)-100 on BMSC osteogenic differentiation. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining and safranin O-fast green staining assays were performed on femur tissues to reveal pathological changes. The osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs were determined by Alkaline Phosphatase and Alizarin red staining assays. The results showed that miR-100 expression was significantly upregulated in bone tissues and BMSCs from osteoporotic mice. MiR-100 knockdown partially improved osteogenic function of OVX mice-derived BMSCs. Next, mechanistic target of rapamycin kinase (MTOR) was identified as the target downstream miR-100. MiR-100 deficiency can activate the protein kinase B (AKT)/mTOR pathway. MiR-100 controlled the osteogenic function of BMSCs by the AKT/mTOR pathway. Collectively, our findings demonstrate that inhibition of miR-100 facilitates bone regeneration defects of BMSCs in osteoporotic mice through AKT pathway, indicating that miR-100 might be an effective target for the treatment of osteoporotic mandibular injury and bone defect diseases.
