Sam YH, Nibali L, Ghuman M. Periodontal granulation tissue - To remove or not to remove, that is the question. J Periodontal Res 2024; 59:636-646. [PMID: 38686698 DOI: 10.1111/jre.13261] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2023] [Revised: 03/15/2024] [Accepted: 03/17/2024] [Indexed: 05/02/2024]
Abstract
Formation of granulation tissue is a fundamental phase in periodontal wound healing with subsequent maturation leading to regeneration or repair. However, persistently inflamed granulation tissue presents in osseous defects as a result of periodontitis and is routinely disrupted and discarded with non-surgical and surgical therapy to facilitate wound healing or improve chances of regeneration. Histological assessment suggests that granulation tissue from periodontitis-affected sites is effectively a chronic inflammatory tissue resulting from impaired wound healing due to persistence of bacterial dysbiotic bioflim. Nevertheless, the immunomodulatory potential and stem cell characteristics in granulation tissue have also raised speculation about the tissue's regenerative potential. This has led to the conception and recent implementation of surgical techniques which preserve granulation tissue with the intention of enhancing innate regenerative potential and improve clinical outcomes. As knowledge of fundamental cellular and molecular functions regulating periodontitis-affected granulation tissue is still scarce, this review aimed to provide a summary of current understanding of granulation tissue in the context of periodontal wound healing. This may provide new insights into clinical practice related to the management of granulation tissue and stimulate further investigation.

Lee DY. Gelatin Enhances the Wet Mechanical Properties of Poly(D,L-Lactic Acid) Membranes. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:5022. [PMID: 38732241 PMCID: PMC11084932 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25095022] [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: 04/01/2024] [Revised: 04/30/2024] [Accepted: 05/02/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024] Open
Abstract
Biodegradable (BP) poly(D,L-lactic acid) (PDLLA) membranes are widely used in tissue engineering. Here, we investigate the effects of varying concentrations of PDLLA/gelatin membranes electrospun in 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propanol (HFIP; C3H2F6O) solvent on their mechanical and physical properties as well as their biocompatibility. Regardless of the environmental conditions, increasing the gelatin content resulted in elevated stress and reduced strain at membrane failure. There was a remarkable difference in strain-to-failure between dry and wet PDLLA/gelatin membranes, with wet strains consistently higher than those of the dry membranes because of the hydrophilic nature of gelatin. A similar wet strain (εw = 2.7-3.0) was observed in PDLLA/gelatin membranes with a gelatin content between 10 and 40%. Both dry and wet stresses increased with increasing gelatin content. The dry stress on PDLLA/gelatin membranes (σd = 6.7-9.7 MPa) consistently exceeded the wet stress (σw = 4.5-8.6 MPa). The water uptake capacity (WUC) improved, increasing from 57% to 624% with the addition of 40% gelatin to PDLLA. PDLLA/gelatin hybrid membranes containing 10 to 20 wt% gelatin exhibited favorable wet mechanical properties (σw = 5.4-6.3 MPa; εw = 2.9-3.0); WUC (337-571%), degradability (11.4-20.2%), and excellent biocompatibility.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Restoring lost tissues of the periodontium, such as cementum, is essential in reducing the risk of tooth loss due to periodontitis and/or severe root resorption. Stem cell therapy is a regenerative strategy in cementum regeneration. This systematic review aimed to analyze the effect of various stem cells and their transplantation method on cementum regeneration in the dog model. METHODS Electronic databases were searched, in addition to performing hand searches and a gray literature search. Titles and abstracts were searched according to the inclusion criteria and full texts were selected to be included in this systematic review. Data was extracted from each article and risk of bias was assessed for individual studies. RESULTS Most studies reported that the treatment using a variety of stem cells resulted in significantly greater cementum regeneration. CONCLUSIONS Because of variations in additional factors included in each study and varied risk of bias among those studies, the effect of each type of stem cell on cementum regeneration in dogs is difficult to clarify. Additional information needs to be obtained from each study in order to further analyze the individual effect of stem cells on cementum regeneration in dogs.

Abstract
This study introduces the effect of the thickness of a bacterial cellulose membrane by comparing the bone regeneration effect on rat skulls when using a collagen membrane and different thicknesses of resorbable bacterial cellulose membranes for guided bone regeneration. Barrier membranes of 0.10 mm, 0.15 mm, and 0.20 mm in thickness were made using bacterial cellulose produced as microbial fermentation metabolites. Mechanical strength was investigated, and new bone formation was evaluated through animal experimental studies. Experimental animals were sacrificed after having 2 weeks and 8 weeks of recovery, and specimens were processed for histologic and histomorphometric analyses measuring the area of bone regeneration (%) using an image analysis program. In 2 weeks, bone-like materials and fibrous connective tissues were observed in histologic analysis. In 8 weeks, all experimental groups showed the arrangement of osteoblasts surrounding the supporting body on the margin and center of the bone defect region. However, the amount of new bone formation was significantly higher (p < 0.05) in bacterial cellulose membrane with 0.10 mm in thickness compared to the other experimental groups. Within the limitations of this study, a bacterial cellulose membrane with 0.10 mm thickness induced the most effective bone regeneration.

Abstract
The autogenous tooth transplantation approach to replace missing teeth has been in use for a long time. Different surgical techniques have been developed to improve prognosis and longevity of transplanted teeth with complete root formation. Many factors reportedly affected short- and long-term success of the procedure: complications such as ankylosis and root resorption up to the tooth exfoliation have occurred frequently. Several studies have appeared on this issue over the years. However, outcomes of transplantations have not yet been conclusively determined as no randomized clinical trials have been published on this issue, and their effectiveness has been evaluated only in observational studies. On the other hand, interesting information from specific experimental studies on the healing pattern of the interface between the root surface and alveolar bone in the replantation/transplantation model, and from non-related studies dealing with mechanically induced periodontal trauma, has been available and potentially useful since the 1970s to 1980s. However, this information has not been incorporated into clinical literature regarding tooth autotransplantation. This commentary aims to show how information from related and unrelated experimental models was translated to a clinical setting and led to a novel approach, successfully applied, in the autotransplantation of a multirooted tooth with completed root formation.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this animal study was to perform a 3-dimensional micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) analysis in order to investigate the influence of root surface distance to the alveolar bone and the periodontal ligament on periodontal wound healing after a guided tissue regeneration (GTR) procedure. METHODS Three adult Sus scrofa domesticus specimens were used. The study sample included 6 teeth, corresponding to 2 third mandibular incisors from each animal. After coronectomy, a circumferential bone defect was created in each tooth by means of calibrated piezoelectric inserts. The experimental defects had depths of 3 mm, 5 mm, 7 mm, 9 mm, and 11 mm, with a constant width of 2 mm. One tooth with no defect was used as a control. The defects were covered with a bioresorbable membrane and protected with a flap. After 6 months, the animals were euthanised and tissue blocks were harvested and preserved for micro-CT analysis. RESULTS New alveolar bone was consistently present in all experimental defects. Signs of root resorption were observed in all samples, with the extent of resorption directly correlated to the vertical extent of the defect; the medial third of the root was the most commonly affected area. Signs of ankylosis were recorded in the defects that were 3 mm and 7 mm in depth. Density and other indicators of bone quality decreased with increasing defect depth. CONCLUSIONS After a GTR procedure, the periodontal ligament and the alveolar bone appeared to compete in periodontal wound healing. Moreover, the observed decrease in bone quality indicators suggests that intrabony defects beyond a critical size cannot be regenerated. This finding may be relevant for the clinical application of periodontal regeneration, since it implies that GTR has a dimensional limit.

Abstract
The ultimate goals of periodontal therapy remain the complete regeneration of those periodontal tissues lost to the destructive inflammatory-immune response, or to trauma, with tissues that possess the same structure and function, and the re-establishment of a sustainable health-promoting biofilm from one characterized by dysbiosis. This volume of Periodontology 2000 discusses the multiple facets of a transition from therapeutic empiricism during the late 1960s, toward regenerative therapies, which is founded on a clearer understanding of the biophysiology of normal structure and function. This introductory article provides an overview on the requirements of appropriate in vitro laboratory models (e.g. cell culture), of preclinical (i.e. animal) models and of human studies for periodontal wound and bone repair. Laboratory studies may provide valuable fundamental insights into basic mechanisms involved in wound repair and regeneration but also suffer from a unidimensional and simplistic approach that does not account for the complexities of the in vivo situation, in which multiple cell types and interactions all contribute to definitive outcomes. Therefore, such laboratory studies require validatory research, employing preclinical models specifically designed to demonstrate proof-of-concept efficacy, preliminary safety and adaptation to human disease scenarios. Small animal models provide the most economic and logistically feasible preliminary approaches but the outcomes do not necessarily translate to larger animal or human models. The advantages and limitations of all periodontal-regeneration models need to be carefully considered when planning investigations to ensure that the optimal design is adopted to answer the specific research question posed. Future challenges lie in the areas of stem cell research, scaffold designs, cell delivery and choice of growth factors, along with research to ensure appropriate gingival coverage in order to prevent gingival recession during the healing phase.

Abstract
Attainment of periodontal regeneration is a significant clinical goal in the management of advanced periodontal defects arising from periodontitis. Over the past 30 years numerous techniques and materials have been introduced and evaluated clinically and have included guided tissue regeneration, bone grafting materials, growth and other biological factors and gene therapy. With the exception of gene therapy, all have undergone evaluation in humans. All of the products have shown efficacy in promoting periodontal regeneration in animal models but the results in humans remain variable and equivocal concerning attaining complete biological regeneration of damaged periodontal structures. In the early 2000s, the concept of tissue engineering was proposed as a new paradigm for periodontal regeneration based on molecular and cell biology. At this time, tissue engineering was a new and emerging field. Now, 14 years later we revisit the concept of tissue engineering for the periodontium and assess how far we have come, where we are currently situated and what needs to be done in the future to make this concept a reality. In this review, we cover some of the precursor products, which led to our current position in periodontal tissue engineering. The basic concepts of tissue engineering with special emphasis on periodontal tissue engineering products is discussed including the use of mesenchymal stem cells in bioscaffolds and the emerging field of cell sheet technology. Finally, we look into the future to consider what CAD/CAM technology and nanotechnology will have to offer.

Abstract
Reconstructive therapies to promote the regeneration of lost periodontal support have been investigated through both preclinical and clinical studies. Advanced regenerative technologies using new barrier-membrane techniques, cell-growth-stimulating proteins or gene-delivery applications have entered the clinical arena. Wound-healing approaches using growth factors to target the restoration of tooth-supporting bone, periodontal ligament and cementum are shown to significantly advance the field of periodontal-regenerative medicine. Topical delivery of growth factors, such as platelet-derived growth factor, fibroblast growth factor or bone morphogenetic proteins, to periodontal wounds has demonstrated promising results. Future directions in the delivery of growth factors or other signaling models involve the development of innovative scaffolding matrices, cell therapy and gene transfer, and these issues are discussed in this paper.

Comparative evaluation of platelet-rich plasma and guided tissue regeneration membrane in the healing of apicomarginal defects: a clinical study. J Endod 2011; 37:773-80.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of the study was to compare the healing responses of platelet-rich plasma (PRP), PRP + a collagen sponge, and a collagen membrane used as guided tissue regeneration (GTR) materials for the treatment of apicomarginal defects. METHODS Thirty patients with suppurative chronic apical periodontitis and apicomarginal communication were selected and allocated randomly into three groups according to the barrier technique to be used during periradicular surgery: the collagen membrane group, the PRP group, and the PRP + collagen sponge group. Clinical and radiographic measurements were determined at baseline and every 3 months after surgery up to 1 year. Cases were defined as healed when no clinical signs or symptoms were present, and radiographs showed complete or incomplete (scar tissue) healing of previous radiolucencies. RESULTS The PRP and PRP + collagen sponge groups depicted 83.33% and 88.89% healing, respectively, in terms of combined clinical-radiographic healing as compared with 80% in the collagen membrane group. All the three treatments showed highly significant (P < .05) reductions in the periodontal pocket depth (PD), the clinical attachment level (CAL), the gingival margin position (GMP), the size of the periapical lesion, the percentage reduction of the periapical rarefactions, and periapical healing. No significant differences between the three groups were evident for these parameters (P > .05). CONCLUSIONS GTR applied to apicomarginal defects using PRP or PRP + collagen sponge lead to similar enhancements of the clinical outcome of periradicular surgery in terms of periapical healing, gain of periodontal support, PD reduction, and PRP may be an alternative treatment for GTR membrane in the treatment of apicomarginal defects.

Abstract
This case report describes endodontic, restorative, and periodontal treatment of a complicated crown-root fracture of the right maxillary fourth premolar tooth in a dog. A buccal portion ('slab') had separated from the tooth, which extended subgingivally into root structure. Following completion of standard root canal therapy, a periodontal flap was elevated. Alveolectomy and alveoloplasty were performed, and inflamed soft tissues were debrided. The fracture site was prepared, restored, and shaped to receive a dental bulge contour. A gingival collar expansion technique was utilized to allow for apical positioning of gingiva at the distobuccal crown-root segment. Clinical and radiographic examination 15-months following treatment showed no evidence of endodontic failure. The restorations were intact, and periodontal probing depths were slightly increased probably due to gingival enlargement from concurrent cyclosporine therapy. The importance of biologic width maintenance in periodontal surgery and need for owner compliance with home oral hygiene are discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to histologically evaluate the healing of surgically created Class II furcation defects treated using an autogenous bone (AB) graft with or without a calcium sulfate (CS) barrier. METHODS The second, third, and fourth mandibular premolars (P2, P3, and P4) of six mongrel dogs were used in this study. Class II furcation defects (5 mm in height x 2 mm in depth) were surgically created and immediately treated. Teeth were randomly divided into three groups: group C (control), in which the defect was filled with blood clot; group AB, in which the defect was filled with AB graft; and group AB/CS, in which the defect was filled with AB graft and covered by a CS barrier. Flaps were repositioned to cover all defects. The animals were euthanized 90 days post-surgery. Mesio-distal serial sections were obtained and stained with either hematoxylin and eosin or Masson's trichrome. Histometric, using image-analysis software, and histologic analyses were performed. Linear and area measurements of periodontal healing were evaluated and calculated as a percentage of the original defect. Percentage data were transformed into arccosine for statistical analysis (analysis of variance; P <0.05). RESULTS Periodontal regeneration in the three groups was similar. Regeneration of bone and connective tissue in the furcation defects was incomplete in most of the specimens. Statistically significant differences were not found in any of the evaluated parameters among the groups. CONCLUSION Periodontal healing was similar using surgical debridement alone, AB graft, or AB graft with a CS barrier in the treatment of Class II furcation defects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Root resorption and ankylosis have been reported rarely as sequelae to guided tissue regeneration (GTR). The authors describe a clinical case of root resorption following GTR that involved the use of a bioabsorbable membrane. CASE DESCRIPTION Two years after GTR was performed on a Class II furcation defect, the clinical examination revealed root resorption reaching the pulp chamber. The furcation defect was filled with epithelium and connective tissue, which contained inflammatory infiltrate and fragments of the membrane. The authors also observed areas of the tooth that exhibited points of ankylosis and root resorption. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS Clinical trials have reported favorable clinical and histologic results with GTR. However, this case report, along with other case reports and studies in animals, suggests a high risk of root resorption and ankylosis after GTR, which could limit the indications for this technique.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to assess local inflammatory changes associated with the implantation of three different porcine collagen membranes having potential use in periodontal regeneration. METHODS Materials were implanted subcutaneously into prepared sites along the dorsal skin surface of 60 female Wistar rats. Saline and turpentine were used as negative and positive controls, respectively. Animals were killed and biopsies obtained after 3 d, and at 1, 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks after membrane implantation. A panel of six monoclonal antibodies was used to identify circulating monocytes (ED1), resident tissue macrophages (ED2), lymphoid macrophages (ED3), Ia-antigen expression (OX6), T-lymphocytes (OX19), and B-lymphocytes (OX33). Cells identified by each antibody were subjected to quantitative immunocytochemistry to compare any differences present among groups. Sera obtained 8 weeks after grafting were used in immunoblotting assays to detect the presence of systemic antiporcine antibodies. RESULTS We found that the mononuclear cell subsets associated with implantation of porcine collagen membranes were similar to those obtained with saline administration. On the other hand, the use of turpentine resulted in an inflammatory infiltrate characterized by significantly higher numbers of all six monoclonal cell subsets at all time periods evaluated, compared to either saline or any of the membranes (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The collagen membranes do not appear to be associated with a significant local inflammatory response, nor a systemic immune response, and thus appear to be well tolerated, rendering them useful in periodontal regeneration.

Abstract
We report an unusual case of external root resorption (ERR) that developed in a 37-year-old black male approximately 1 year following routine partial thickness connective tissue graft surgery. The lesion was accessed via flap surgery, thoroughly root planed, and the mucoperiosteal flap replaced. The site healed uneventfully and the patient has been closely observed for over 1 year without symptoms or recurrence of the resorptive lesion and the affected tooth remained vital. Clinicians performing partial-thickness connective tissue grafts should be alert to the possible occurrence of root resorption over extended periods of time. The authors speculate that retention of the donor periosteum with placement on the recipient dentin and root biomodification may limit the resorptive response following connective tissue graft procedures to treat tooth root recession.

Abstract
UNLABELLED BACKGROUND AND DESCRIPTION OF CASE: The etiology and pathogenesis of generalized cervical root resorptions is not well understood. In the present report, a case of severe cervical root resorption involving 24 anterior and posterior teeth is presented. The lesions developed within a period of 2 years after the patient had changed to an acid-enriched diet. They extended far into the coronal dentin and were associated with gingival inflammation and crestal bone resorption. However, no generalized clinical attachment loss had occurred. Culturing of subgingival plaque revealed the presence of several putative periodontal pathogens among which Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans and Porphyromonas gingivalis. Treatment consisted of mechanical debridement supported by systemic antibiotics (amoxycillin plus metronidazole) and dietary advice. RESULTS Within 1 year after the onset of treatment, all resorptive lesions had repaired by ingrowth of a radio-opaque mineralized tissue. The crestal areas showed radiological evidence of bone repair. 3 years after the onset of therapy, one premolar was extracted and examined histologically. It appeared that irregularly-shaped masses of woven bone-like tissue had invaded into the domain of the resorbed coronal dentin and were bordered by thin layers of acellular cementum. CONCLUSION It is concluded that, in this patient, the cervical resorptions were likely the result of an osteoclastic response extending into the roots because the root-protective role of the junctional epithelium did not develop. We hypothesize that this was due to the combined effects of a periodontopathogenic microflora and a dietary confounding factor.

Abstract
BACKGROUND, AIMS The present case report describes the clinical application of autotransplantation using furcation involved roots. METHOD After initial therapy, root resection was performed upon the patient's molar teeth with furcation involvement in the mandible. 2 distal roots of the molar teeth were autotransplanted as abutments to replace missing premolar and molar teeth in the mandible. RESULTS On re-examination, 1 year after the transplantation, these roots showed no signs of periodontal or technical complications. The results suggest the potential use of autotransplantation techniques using furcation involved roots in reconstructive therapy. This may be a new approach in periodontal therapy.

Abstract
Collagen materials have been utilized in medicine and dentistry because of their proven biocompatability and capability of promoting wound healing. For guided tissue regeneration (GTR) procedures, collagen membranes have been shown to be comparable to non-absorbable membranes with regard to probing depth reduction, clinical attachment gain, and percent of bone fill. Although these membranes are absorbable, collagen membranes have been demonstrated to prevent epithelial down-growth along the root surfaces during the early phase of wound healing. The use of grafting material in combination with collagen membranes seems to improve clinical outcomes for furcation, but not intrabony, defects when compared to the use of membranes alone. Recently, collagen materials have also been applied in guided bone regeneration (GBR) and root coverage procedures with comparable success rates to non-absorbable expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) membranes and conventional subepithelial connective tissue grafts, respectively. Long-term clinical trials are still needed to further evaluate the benefits of collagen membranes in periodontal and peri-implant defects. This article will review the rationale for each indication and its related literature, both in vitro and in vivo studies. The properties that make collagen membranes attractive for use in regenerative therapy will be addressed. In addition, varieties of cross-linking techniques utilized to retard the degradation rate of collagen membranes will be discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of barrier membranes in the treatment of periodontal defects is well documented. There has been an increase in the use of bioabsorbable materials which do not require a second surgical procedure for removal. However, there are little data evaluating the efficacy of bioabsorbable membranes in the treatment of intrabony defects. The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the regenerative potential of 2 bioabsorbable barrier membranes without the use of grafting materials in the treatment of interdental intrabony defects. METHODS Twenty-three 2- or 3-walled intrabony defects were treated in 19 patients with a mean age of 50.4 years. All had completed nonsurgical treatment and a period of supportive periodontal therapy. The sites were randomly chosen to receive a barrier membrane composed of type I bovine collagen (11) or a copolymer of polylactic acid (PGA/PLA;12). A pressure sensitive disc probe was used to evaluate the following criteria at baseline and re-entry: 1) occlusal surface to the apical depth of probe penetration (OS-DP); 2) occlusal surface to the gingival margin (OS-GM); 3) occlusal surface to the alveolar crest (OS-AC); and 4) occlusal surface to the base of the osseous defect (OS-BD). Full thickness mucoperiosteal flaps were reflected to expose the surgical sites. The defects were debrided of the granulomatous tissue, the root surfaces instrumented and conditioned with 4 one-minute applications of 50 mg/ml of tetracycline. The barrier membranes were adapted to cover the defects and the flaps replaced. The postsurgical healing was uneventful and similar in both treatment modalities. RESULTS Twenty-three sites were surgically re-entered 6 months from the time of the initial surgery. The deepest probe depth for each site was used for statistical analysis. There was a mean relative attachment gain of 2.58+/-1.90 mm for the collagen, and 2.77+/-2.13 mm for the copolymer. There was a decrease in probing depth of 3.27+/-1.91 mm and 0.69+/-1.35 mm of recession for the collagen. The PGA/PLA copolymer had 3.55+/-2.47 mm reduction in probe depth and 0.78+/-1.14 mm of recession. CONCLUSIONS The data indicated the bioabsorbable collagen and copolymer membranes resulted in comparable results. A larger sample size would be necessary to determine if one membrane was superior to the other.

Abstract
Although the periodontal ligament (PL) contains an abundance of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), there are only a few histochemical studies describing GAGs in the developing PL. In the present study, the relationship between the formation of principal fibers and the molecular species of GAGs in the developing PL was examined by light microscopic histochemistry. Jcl:ICR mice were killed on day 0 to day 28 after birth. Paraffin-embedded tissue sections were routinely made and stained with hematoxylin-eosin (H&E), Azan, or the sensitized high iron diamine (S-HID) procedure combined with enzyme digestions. Before tooth eruption, thin threads of collagen fibers in the PL assembled and constructed principal fibers, which projected from both the side of the alveolar bone and the root of the tooth. After tooth eruption, the principal fibers from both sides were tightly entangled. In the developing PL, the molecular species of GAGs was mainly dermatan sulfate. Moreover, the relative amount of dermatan sulfate increased together with the maturation of the principal fibers, while the principal fibers adjacent to the alveolar bone and cementum contained chondroitin sulfate. These results suggest that dermatan sulfate contributes to collagen fiber assembly in the PL and that chondroitin sulfate relates to PL adhesion to the alveolar bone and to the cementum of the root.

Abstract
Clinically, the most apparent difference between the primary and permanent dentitions is the physiologic loss of the primary tooth by root resorption. Root resorption is associated with loss of integrity of the periodontal ligament (PDL), followed by recruitment of resorptive cells that remove root structure. We therefore cultured primary dentition PDL fibroblasts (PPDL cells) to investigate in vitro their production of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitors of MMP (TIMPs), and the effects of soluble factors produced by these cells on osteoclast-like cell differentiation. These studies demonstrate that PPDL cells in vitro have a heterogeneous morphology, and they constitutively synthesize 92-kDa gelatinase, 72-kDa gelatinase, and 53/57-kDa procollagenase as well as TIMP-1, -2, and a third inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase, as determined by substrate gel zymography and immunoblot analysis. Compared with PDL cells from the permanent dentition, PPDL cells generally produced a greater amount of collagenase but similar amounts of the gelatinases and inhibitors. PPDL cells were treated with pro-inflammatory cytokines to determine their effect on the expression of matrix-degrading enzymes and inhibitors. Interleukin-1alpha and tumor necrosis factor-alpha enhanced the constitutive expression of proteinases but not that of inhibitors in PPDL cells. Conditioned media from PPDL cell lines inhibited the differentiation of osteoclast-like cells in mouse bone marrow cultures. These findings indicate that PPDL cells may modulate the cascade of root resorption both by their regulated production of proteinases and inhibitors and by synthesis of unknown soluble factor(s) that may regulate osteoclast development.

Abstract
This case report describes the treatment of an external root resorption with extensive loss of tooth structure and bone at the labial surface of an upper left central incisor. The area of bone loss and root resorption was surgically exposed and an impression was taken using curing silicone. An individual ceramic insert was fabricated, allowing endodontic retreatment through an artificial root canal. The insert was incorporated using a dentin bonding system and a dual curing luting composite. Following endodontic retreatment and internal bleaching, a ceramic veneer was bonded to the tooth to obtain good esthetics and to improve stability. Twenty months after surgical treatment no further root resorption could be detected radiographically. A shallow residual pocket but no bleeding on probing was found.

Abstract
The proliferative activity of the long junctional epithelium (LJE) in rats was examined using stains for argyrophilic proteins of the nucleolar organizer region (AgNORs protein). The LJE was experimentally produced by insertion of a rubber piece between maxillary molars for 1 wk. After removal of the rubber, the length and AgNORs parameters of the LJE were measured and analyzed statistically. The LJE widely covered the apical side of the exposed root surface 4 wk after the removal. Its length was longest after 4 and 8 wk; it became shorter subsequently. The AgNORs were visible as black dots of various sizes and numbers on the sections. A high potential for proliferation was obvious in the LJE after 4 wk and was maintained until 12 wk after the removal. The AgNORs ratio on the connective tissue interface of the LJE was about twice of that of normal junctional epithelium after 4-12 wk. The proliferative activity on the root surface side was slightly increased after 4 wk. There was no significant difference in proliferative activity between the coronal and apical sides. These results suggest that the proliferative activity of the LJE is maintained continuously at a high level on the connective tissue interface supplying the epithelial cells. Basal cells proliferate at the connective tissue interface of the LJE, migrate directly to the root surface or via the apical portion and finally desquamate from the surface of the epithelium.

Abstract
Teeth were autogenously transplanted by the 2-stage technique in adult patients and examined up to 5 years after surgery for the prevalence of, and correlation between, tooth graft loss, root resorption, ankylosis, periodontal attachment loss, tooth mobility, and pain. The influence on the dependent variables of independent variables related to the patient, the donor tooth, the recipient site, and the transplantation procedure was examined. Pain was correlated to transplanted teeth, later extracted, and teeth with periodontal attachment loss. The expected correlation of root resorption to periodontal attachment loss was not verified owing to incomplete follow-up. The older the patient was, the less root resorption was found. Variables indicative of infection of the recipient bed and of traumatic injuries to the donor tooth at the transplantation were found to be detrimental to the tooth transplant.

Abstract
The cell occlusive effects on human gingival fibroblasts of degradable lactic acid-glycolic acid copolymer membranes (noncoated membranes) and membranes coated with a sucrose ester of fatty acid (coated membranes) were studied and compared with those of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (e-PTFE) membranes. The membranes were immersed in a culture medium periodically for 21 days and interposed into a chemotaxis chamber, and the fibroblasts then were cultured in the chamber for another 7 days. The passage rate of cells through the membranes was calculated and the change in surface structure of each membrane after immersion for 28 days was observed by an environmental scanning electron microscope. The passage rate of coated membranes (3.4+/-2.2%) was significantly lower than that of noncoated (25.7+/-5.1%) at the 28th day whereas the passage rate of e-PTFE membranes was 0.8-1.5%. Many pores were observed on the noncoated membranes before immersion while the coating material covered most of the pores on the coated membranes. The average pore size of the noncoated membranes was larger than that of the coated membranes at day 28. The structure of the e-PTFE membranes underwent no change. The passage rate of the coated membranes was not different from the e-PTFE membranes, suggesting an effect that might be useful for a guided tissue regeneration procedure.

Abstract
Root surface resorption, ankylosis (replacement resorption) and alveolar bone resorption are not uncommon sequelae to periodontal healing in both animal and human trials whether the treatment objective is regenerative, preventive, or conservative. The present report describes a case with progressive cervical root resorption in a patient who received periodontal regenerative treatment with guided tissue regeneration (GTR). A 46-year-old woman was referred for treatment of severe periodontitis. Remaining radiographic attachment was less than 50%. Following a period of 18 months, during which non-surgical and surgical therapies were performed, angular defects were diagnosed on radiographs and recurrent bleeding periodontal pockets (6 mm) were found in the proximal areas of 24 and 25. Root caries was not present. Periodontal surgery with GTR was performed in this area. No immediate postsurgical complications were noted. Two years later, clinical and radiographic examinations revealed gingival recession with bleeding periodontal pockets (6 mm) which had partly uncovered severe proximal cervical resorptions in 25. Root surface caries was not present. Following surgical inspection, the root of 25 was removed. The root was subsequently prepared for histological analysis. Resorption cavities covered almost the entire cervical proximal surface of the root above intact infracrestal cementum and were covered by numerous CD68+, both mononuclear and multinucleated cells. In a central area as indicated on the radiographs, the cavities penetrated into the root canal. There was no evidence of root caries.

Abstract
There are presently a number of different barriers available for use clinically in guided tissue regeneration (GTR) procedures. A number of trials using these techniques and comparing different types of barrier membranes are being published in the scientific literature. This review discusses issues related to clinical trials on the use of barrier membranes in periodontal regeneration. Outcome measures, both clinical and histological, are discussed in relation to results following GTR procedures. The difference between regeneration and repair is reviewed as well as methods of clinical and histologic assessment of both these outcomes. Data regarding the impact of patient variables and tooth or defect variables on outcomes are presented and suggestions for study designs are made based on these variables. Aspects of assessing for an appropriate sample size in superiority and equivalency trials using GTR techniques are presented as well as interpretation of results following these trials and their clinical significance.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to develop an experimental model in rats of an osseous submucous cleft palate and to examine if bone regeneration can be achieved in such defects by the placement of membranes according to the principle of guided tissue regeneration (GTR). An osseous submucous cleft palate defect (5 mm x 2 mm) was created surgically in Wistar rats. Membranes of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene were placed so that they covered both the nasal and the palatal aspect of the defect before the palatal mucoperiosteal flap was repositioned and sutured. Histological analysis after seven weeks of healing showed that significantly more test animals (5/9) healed with newly formed bone and a suture-like tissue in the middle of the defects than controls treated without membranes (0/17). In specimens evaluated macroscopically after 12 weeks, the corresponding rates for the test group were 12/12 compared with 0/13. These observations indicate that an experimental model of an osseous submucous cleft palate can be established in rats, and that complete osseous healing and creation of a midpalatal suture-like tissue in the bony defect is favoured by the placement of membranes according to the principle of GTR.

Abstract
Guided tissue regeneration (GTR) to enhance genuine new periodontal attachment may improve preorthodontic conditions for moving teeth into infrabony defects or for vertical movements of teeth with reduced bone support. The possible benefits of GTR for combined periodontal/orthodontic therapy are discussed and substantiated with preliminary experimental findings.

Abstract
Periapical pathology indicating endodontic infection, when present in marginal periodontitis-affected teeth, has recently been shown to be an aggravating factor in progression of marginal destruction. This has been associated with patency of dentinal tubules in the tooth cervix, an area normally devoid of cementum following periodontal therapy. These studies are, however hampered by that only circumstantial evidence such as presence of periapical destruction have been applied as criteria of endodontic infection. The purpose of the present investigation was to study to what extent a predefined selection of endodontic pathogens inoculated in the root canal can influence periodontal pathology and healing in areas of the root covered by or devoid of cementum, using root resorption as a histomorphometric marker. Exposed dentine surfaces, in the present study showed significantly larger areas of resorption in infected roots compared to non-infected roots, while cementum surfaces showed an almost identical distribution of tissue reactions regardless of root canal infection or not. It was concluded that endodontic pathogens or their products were not able to penetrate the cementum barrier. The significantly larger areas of resorption on exposed dentine surfaces in infected roots compared to non-infected roots indicated that endodontic pathogens or their products could spread through dentinal tubules to a root surface void of cementum. Extrapolated to the marginal situation this indicated that endodontic pathogens in the root canal might be able to aggravate marginal infection in areas of root devoid of cementum.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to evaluate periodontal tissue alterations during the maintenance phase following GTR therapy. 18 patients (average age 54 years, range 39-79 years) with 19 local periodontal defects were monitored longitudinally using clinical periodontal parameters and radiographic assessments of bone level changes. 6 out of originally 24 patients were not available at the 4-year examination (2 patients were unwilling to participate and in 4 patients root amputations or tooth extractions had to be performed). Evaluations were performed at baseline, 3 months, 1 year and 4 years following GTR therapy (using non-resorbable Gore-Tex Periodontal Material). The changes observed at the deepest site of each tooth treated by GTR were compared to those encountered in the entire dentition. Supportive periodontal therapy was performed according to the patient's individual needs between 3 and 12 times between the 1 and 4 years examination. The plaque index and the gingival index at the 4 years examination were assessed and had increased to almost double the value of baseline, although the BOP remained lower compared to baseline data. Between the 1 and 4 years examinations, 1.27 mm of clinical attachment was lost as a mean. Regarding the site of each tooth treated with GTR with the initially deepest probing pocket depth, 1.42 mm of clinical attachment was lost during the maintenance phase. However, compared to baseline data, 1.37 mm of new attachment could be maintained. The clinical attachment level was maintained within +/- 1 mm in 12 out of 19 sites during the 4 years of maintenance.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Periapical pathology indicating endodontic infection, when present in periodontitis-affected teeth, has recently been shown to be correlated to marginal periodontal breakdown. This has been associated with patency of dentinal tubules in the tooth cervix, an area normally devoid of cementum following periodontal therapy. These studies are, however hampered by that only circumstantial evidence such as presence of periapical destruction have been applied as criteria of endodontic infection. The aim of the present investigation was to assess the effects of endodontic pathogens on marginal periodontal wound healing on root surfaces devoid of cementum but surrounded by healthy periodontal membrane. Significant differences between infected and non-infected teeth were found with respect to pathological pocket and connective tissue: The experimental defects were covered by approximately 20% more pocket epithelium in infected teeth while defects in non-infected teeth showed approximately 10% more connective tissue coverage. It was concluded, that an intra-canal infection of endodontic pathogens stimulates epithelial downgrowth along denuded dentin surfaces with marginal communication. Extrapolated to the clinical situation, endodontic infections in periodontitis-prone patients may augment periodontitis propagation.

Abstract
Guided tissue regeneration (GTR) may result in the formation of new bone, cementum, and periodontal ligament. The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy of a resorbable synthetic material, which has been used extensively in general surgery for wound support, to promote GTR. Forty healthy patients with adult periodontitis, each having a Class II furcation defect, participated in the study. After initial therapy, mucoperiosteal flaps were elevated and furcations debrided with hand and rotary instruments. In 20 patients the molar Class II furcation defects were treated with a GTR procedure using the resorbable synthetic material (experimental), and 20 patients received a mucoperiosteal flap debridement procedure without barrier placement (control). Probing depth and attachment level measurements were taken immediately before surgery, at 6 weeks, and 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 months after surgery. All areas healed uneventfully. Comparison of clinical attachment level measurements indicated significantly greater gain of attachment at sites receiving barriers. Fifteen of 20 Class II furcations in the synthetic barrier group, but only one of 20 in the control group, were converted to Class I defects. Barriers were still clinically detectable at 4 weeks, but were absent at 6 weeks. The synthetic barriers enhanced gain of clinical attachment in human Class II furcation defects.

Abstract
Inflammatory reactions of the marginal periodontal tissues and loss of attachment could partly account for the often occurring rejection of autogenously transplanted mature teeth. The periodontal conditions of transplanted teeth were investigated from 1 month up to 5 years postoperatively. The parameters plaque, bleeding on probing to the bottom of the pocket, probing pocket depth (PPD), gingival recession and probing attachment loss were analysed by multiple regression analysis. No significant difference was found between transplanted and control teeth in bleeding on probing the bottom of the pockets up to 5 years postoperatively with the exception of increased bleeding on probing of the transplanted teeth at the 1-month postsurgery examination. No significant difference of the mean probing depth between transplanted teeth and control teeth was found at the mesio- and distobuccal surfaces. The transplanted teeth at the buccal surface showed increase of the mean pocket depth during the observation period. Increased mean probing depth without progression over time was found at the transplanted teeth compared to the controls at the distolingual, lingual and mesiolingual surfaces. A small mean gingival recession at the transplants was observed. Loss of attachment was recorded at 13% of the surfaces. Totally 50% of the transplants showed loss of attachment and 5% were removed because of extensive attachment loss. On 13% of the transplanted teeth with loss of attachment, root resorption was also found.
