Ageing-Associated Transcriptomic Alterations in Peri-Implantitis Pathology: A Bioinformatic Study. DISEASE MARKERS 2022; 2022:8456968. [PMID: 36267464 PMCID: PMC9578877 DOI: 10.1155/2022/8456968] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/07/2022] [Accepted: 09/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Background Ageing is associated with increased incidence of peri-implantitis but the roles of ageing-associated biological mechanisms in the occurrence of peri-implantitis are not known. This study is aimed at performing integrative bioinformatic analysis of publically available datasets to uncover molecular mechanisms related to ageing and peri-implantitis. Methods Gene expression datasets related to ageing and peri-implantitis (PI) were sought, and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were analysed. Ageing-related genes were also identified from the “Aging Atlas” database. Using intersection analysis, an age-related-PI gene set was identified. Functional enrichment analysis for enriched GO biological process and KEGG pathways, protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis, correlation analysis, and immune cell infiltration analysis to determine high-abundance immune cells were performed. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) logistic regression identified key age-related-PI genes. Transcription factor-gene and drug-gene interactions and enriched KEGG pathways for the key age-related-PI genes were determined. Results A total of 52 genes were identified as age-related-PI genes and found enriched in several inflammation-associated processes including myeloid leukocyte activation, acute inflammatory response, mononuclear cell differentiation, B cell activation, NF-kappa B signalling, IL-17 signalling, and TNF signalling. LYN, CDKN2A, MAPT, BTK, and PRKCB were hub genes in the PPI network. Immune cell infiltration analysis showed activated dendritic cells, central memory CD4 T cells, immature dendritic cells, and plasmacytoid dendritic cells were highly abundant in PI and ageing. 7 key age-related PI genes including ALOX5AP, EAF2, FAM46C, GZMK, MAPT, RGS1, and SOSTDC1 were identified using LASSO with high predictive values and found to be enriched in multiple neurodegeneration-associated pathways, MAPK signalling, and Fc epsilon RI signalling. MAPT and ALOX5AP were associated with multiple drugs and transcription factors and interacted with other age-related genes to regulate multiple biological pathways. Conclusion A suite of bioinformatics analysis identified a 7-signature gene set highly relevant to cooccurrence of ageing and peri-implantitis and highlighted the role of neurodegeneration, autoimmune, and inflammation related pathways. MAPT and ALOX5AP were identified as key candidate target genes for clinical translation.

Abstract
Dental implants seem to restore some degree of tactile function. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of gingival mechanoreceptors in dental-implant osseoperception at the cortical-response level. The gingiva of the upper-left canine implant was stripped off under local anesthesia in five cats. We used intrinsic-signal optical imaging (ISOI) to measure the population-response characteristics of the feline oral-related cortex when separately applying punctate mechanical stimuli to the left canine implant and right intact natural canine. These response characteristics were compared under local anesthesia after removal of the gingiva. Under local anesthesia, the signal strength of the implant was significantly weaker than that of the tooth under weak but not under strong stimulus. After the gingiva was stripped off, the signal strength of the implant was significantly weaker than that of the tooth at all strengths of stimulus. Based on the evoked cortical responses, the gingiva was involved in the maximal tactile function of the implant.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to investigate the cortical response characteristics evoked by natural teeth and implants. METHODS Five cats were subjected to intrinsic signal optical imaging to measure the cortical responses evoked by natural teeth and implants. The difference in tactile sensation between the implant and natural tooth was compared in detail at the cortical response level. RESULTS Some similarities were observed between the implants and natural teeth. The stimulating-response curves of the implants and natural teeth were generally S-curves, and both implants and natural teeth preferred labial-lingual direction stimulation. The implants and natural teeth differed in terms of their tactile sensitivity: implants were weaker than natural teeth in terms of both static and dynamic sensitivity. However, after saturation, there was no significant difference in tactile strength between implants and natural teeth. CONCLUSIONS Both natural teeth and implants are able to distinguish the tactile strength and stimulation direction. Although implants are less sensitive than the natural tooth, the maximal tactile function and directional preference of implants are similar to those of natural teeth.

Peri-implant soft tissue status and crestal bone loss around immediately-loaded narrow-diameter implants placed in cigarette-smokers: 6-year follow-up results. Clin Implant Dent Relat Res 2020; 22:220-225. [PMID: 32157803 DOI: 10.1111/cid.12893] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2019] [Revised: 02/18/2020] [Accepted: 02/25/2020] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND It is hypothesized that in the long-term, soft tissue inflammation (reflected by increased scores of peri-implant probing-depth [PD]) and crestal bone loss (CBL) is higher in cigarette-smoker than nonsmokers with narrow diameter implants (NDIs). PURPOSE The aim of the present 6-years' follow-up clinical observational study was to compare the peri-implant soft tissue inflammatory parameters (plaque index [PI], gingival index [GI], and PD) and CBL around immediately-loaded NDIs placed in cigarette-smokers and nonsmokers. MATERIALS AND METHODS In all groups, peri-implant GI, PI and PD were measured on six sites (distolingual/palatal, mesiolingual/palatal mesiobuccal, distobuccal, midlingual/palatal, and midbuccal) per implant. The CBL was gauged on digital bitewing x-rays, which were standardized using the long cone paralleling technique. CBL was demarcated as the vertical distance from 2 mm below the implant-abutment connection to the most crestally-positioned alveolar bone. RESULTS All study-participants were male. Twenty-six cigarette smokers and twenty-five nonsmokers were included. The mean age of cigarette-smokers and nonsmokers was 45.5 ± 10.3 and 47.4 ± 9.4 years, respectively. Cigarette-smokers had a smoking history of 10.6 ± 0.4 pack years. Family history of tobacco usage was more often reported by cigarette-smokers (57.7%) than nonsmokers (20%). All cigarette-smokers and nonsmokers were aware that smoking is a risk-factor of loss of implant. Three (11.5%) of cigarette-smokers reported that they have attempted to quit smoking and 76.9% of cigarette-smokers (n = 20) reported that they had no intention to quit smoking in the future. The peri-implant P-I (P < .01), PD (P < .01) and mesial (P < .01), and distal (P < .01) CBL were significantly high in cigarette-smokers compared with nonsmokers. There was no statistically significant difference in GI among the groups. CONCLUSION Cigarette-smoking enhances peri-implant soft tissue inflammation and increases CBL around immediately-loaded NDIs.

Effect of platelet-rich and platelet-poor plasma on peri-implant innervation in dog mandibles. Int J Implant Dent 2019; 5:40. [PMID: 31797145 PMCID: PMC6890900 DOI: 10.1186/s40729-019-0193-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2019] [Accepted: 10/24/2019] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Autologous plasma fractions, such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and platelet-poor plasma (PPP), contain growth factors that can enhance neural cell survival and are therefore likely to have the ability to promote nerve regeneration. The present study compared the effect of PRP and PPP application on myelinated nerve density and diameter in the peri-implant bone region. In addition, the effect of healing time on nerve regeneration was assessed. Materials and methods Nine beagle dogs randomly received 54 dental implants in the bilateral mandible according to a split-mouth design. Each implant was randomly assigned to one of three implant protocols: delayed implant placement with delayed loading (DIP + DL) with local application of PRP, DIP + DL with local application of PPP and DIP + DL without any plasma additive. The animals were euthanized at 1, 3, and 6 months after loading (3 dogs per time point). Block biopsies were prepared for histomorphometry in the peri-implant bone within 500 μm around the implants. Results Myelinated nerve fibers were identified in the trabecular bone and in the osteons near the implants surface. The nerve fibers in the PRP group (median ± IQR; 2.88 ± 1.55 μm) had a significantly (p < 0.05) greater diameter compared to the PPP (2.40 ± 0.91 μm) and control (2.11 ± 1.16 μm) group. The nerve diameter after 6 months healing (3.18 ± 1.58 μm) was significantly (p < 0.05) greater compared to 1 (2.08 ± 0.89 μm) and 3 (2.49 ± 1.22 μm) months. No significant difference was found for myelinated nerve density between groups and healing time. Conclusions The present study showed that the healing time significantly influenced the diameter of the myelinated nerve fibers in peri-implant bone. PRP exerted a significant effect on the diameter of the myelinated nerve fibers as compared to PPP. Large-scale animal studies and longer follow-up periods are needed to confirm these findings and to verify whether platelet plasma can facilitate nerve regeneration process.

Abstract
Absorbable implants made of magnesium alloys may revolutionize surgical intervention, and fine magnesium wire will be critical to many applications. Functionally, the wires must have sufficient mechanical properties to withstand implantation and in-service loading, have excellent tissue tolerance, and exhibit an appropriate degradation rate for the application. Alloy chemistry and thermomechanical processing conditions will significantly impact the material's functional performance, but the exact translation of these parameters to implant performance is unclear. With this in mind, fine (127 µm) WE43B magnesium alloy wires in five thermomechanical process (TMP) conditions (90% cold work [CW], and 250, 375, 400, and 450°C heat treatments) were investigated for their effect on mechanical and corrosion behavior. The TMP conditions gave clear metallurgical differences: transverse grain dimensions ranged from 200 nm (CW) to 3 µm (450°C), UTS varied from 324 MPa (450°C) to 608 MPa (250°C), and surgical knotting showed some were suitable (CW, 400°C, 450°C) while others were not (250°C, 350°C). In vitro and in vivo corrosion testing yielded interesting and in some cases conflicting results. After 1 month immersion in cell culture medium, wire corrosion was extensive, and TMP conditions altered the macrocorrosion morphology but not the rate or total release of magnesium ions. After 1 month subdermal implantation in mice, all wires were well tolerated and showed very little corrosion (per µCT and histology), but differences in localized corrosion were detected between conditions. This study indicates that WE43B wires treated at 450°C may be most suitable for surgical knotting procedures. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
Along with the development of new materials, advanced medical imaging and surgical techniques, osseointegrated dental implants are considered a successful and constantly evolving treatment modality for the replacement of missing teeth in patients with complete or partial edentulism. The importance of restoring the peripheral neural feedback pathway and thus repairing the lack of periodontal mechanoreceptors after tooth extraction has been highlighted in the literature. Nevertheless, regenerating the nerve fibers and reconstructing the neural feedback pathways around osseointegrated implants remain a challenge. Recent studies have provided evidence that platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a promising treatment for musculoskeletal injuries. Because of its high biological safety, convenience and usability, PRP therapy has gradually gained popularity in the clinical field. Although much remains to be learned, the growth factors from PRP might play key roles in peripheral nerve repair mechanisms. This review presents known growth factors contributing to the biological efficacy of PRP and illustrates basic and (pre-)clinical evidence regarding the use of PRP and its relevant products in peripheral nerve regeneration. In addition, the potential of local application of PRP for structural and functional recovery of injured peripheral nerves around dental implants is discussed.

The influence of residual root number and bone density on combined implant-residual tooth supported prosthesis after tooth hemisection: A finite element study. Ann Anat 2016; 208:103-108.

Abstract
The aim of the present study has been to analyze the influence of residual root number and bone density on the loading distribution of restorations combining implant and residual tooth after tooth hemisection using finite element analysis. Based on the image data of two patients, one has one distal root and the other has two distal roots in the mandibular right first molar, eight models were created (four models for each patient): a single crown was placed on the implant and residual tooth in two different bone densities; two separate crowns for the implant and residual tooth in two different bone densities. Vertical force of 100-N was applied on the crowns. The results show that the increase in number of residual roots decreased the magnitude of all biomechanical parameters. Higher values were observed in models with low bone density, especially in one distal root models. The maximum values of strains in spongious bone with the model (one distal root, low spongious bone density, a single crown was placed on the implant and residual tooth) even reached 9000μstrain. From a biomechanical point of view, when two residual roots exist, a single crown placed on the implant and distal half of the molar or two separate crowns for them seem to be an acceptable treatment option, regardless of the bone density. If there is one residual root and the bone density is low, the prosthesis which combines implant with the root might not be used.

Abstract
Although neurophysiological and psychophysical proof of osseoperception is accumulating, histomorphometric evidence for the neural mechanisms of functional compensation following immediate and delayed implant loading is still lacking. For this randomized split-mouth study, six mongrel dogs randomly received one of four treatment protocols at 36 implant-recipient sites over 16 weeks (third maxillary incisor, third and fourth mandibular premolar): immediate implant placement and immediate loading (IIP+IL); delayed implant placement and delayed loading (DIP+DL); delayed implant placement and immediate loading (DIP+IL); and natural extraction socket healing (control). Histomorphometry was performed in the peri-implant bone and soft tissues within 300 µm around the implants. Immunocytochemistry and transmission electron microscopy were used to confirm the presence of neural structures and to reveal their ultrastructural characteristics, respectively. Myelinated nerve fibres densely populated the peri-implant crestal gingival and apical regions, although they were also identified in the woven bone and in the osteons near the implant threads. Compared with the control group in the mandible, the group that received IIP+IL showed a higher innervation (in N⋅mm−2, 5.94±1.12 vs. 3.15±0.63, P<0.001) and smaller fibre diameter (in µm, 1.37±0.05 vs. 1.64±0.13, P=0.016), smaller axon diameter (in µm, 0.89±0.05 vs. 1.24±0.10, P=0.009) and g-ratio (0.64±0.04 vs. 0.76±0.05, P<0.001) in the middle region around the implants. Compared with DIP+IL in the mandible, IIP+IL had a higher nerve density (in N⋅mm−2, 13.23±2.54 vs. 9.64±1.86, P=0.027), greater fibre diameter (in µm, 1.32±0.02 vs. 1.20±0.04, P=0.021), greater axon diameter (in µm, 0.92±0.01 vs. 0.89±0.03, P=0.035) and lower g-ratio (0.69±0.01 vs. 0.74±0.01, P=0.033) in the apical region around the implants. It may be assumed that the treatment protocol with IIP+IL is the preferred method to allow optimized peri-implant re-innervation, but further functional measurements are still required.

Abstract
Objective The objective of the study was to systematically review the literature for studies reporting gene expression analyses (GEA) of the biological processes involved in early human peri-implant bone healing. Methods Electronic databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE) were searched in duplicate. Controlled and uncontrolled studies reporting GEA of human peri-implant tissues - including ≥5 patients and ≥2 time points - during the first 4 weeks of healing were eligible for inclusion. Methodological quality and risk of bias were also assessed. Results Four exploratory studies were included in reporting GEA of either tissues attached to SLA or SLActive implants after 4 to 14 days or cells attached to TiOBlast or Osseospeed implants after 3 to 7 days. A total of 111 implants from 43 patients were analyzed using validated array methods; however, considerable heterogeneity and risk of bias were detected. A consistent overall pattern of gene expression was observed; genes representing an immuno-inflammatory response were overexpressed at days 3 to 4, followed by genes representing osteogenic processes at day 7. Genes representing bone remodeling, angiogenesis, and neurogenesis were expressed concomitantly with osteogenesis. Several regulators of these processes, such as cytokines, growth factors, transcription factors, and signaling pathways, were identified. Implant surface properties seemed to influence the healing processes at various stages via differential gene expression. Conclusion Limited evidence from gene expression studies in humans indicates that osteogenic processes commence within the first post-operative week and they appear influenced at various stages by implant surface properties.
