Abstract
We aimed to evaluate the materials based on 4-methacryloxyethyl trimellitate anhydride/methyl methacrylate tri-n-butylborane (Super-bond [SB]) and nano hydroxyapatite (naHAp) for the repair of perforation at pulp chamber floor (PPF) in vitro and in vivo models. SB and naHAp were mixed in the mass ratio of 10% or 30% to produce naHAp/SB. Human periodontal ligament stem cells (HPDLSCs) were cultured on resin discs of SB or naHAp/SB to analyze the effects of naHAp/SB on cell adhesion, proliferation, and cementoblastic differentiation. A rat PPF model was treated with SB or naHAp/SB to examine the effects of naHAp/SB on the healing of defected cementum and periodontal ligament (PDL) at the site of PPF. HPDLSCs were spindle-shaped and adhered to all resin discs. Changing the resin from SB to naHAp/SB did not significantly alter cell proliferation. Both 10% and 30% naHAp/SB were more effective than SB in promoting cementoblastic differentiation of HPDLSCs. In the rat PPF model, 30% naHAp/SB was more effective than SB in promoting the formation Sharpey's fiber-like structures with expression of the PDL-related marker and cementum-like structures with expression of cementum-related markers. In conclusion, 30% naHAp/SB can be the new restorative material for PPF because it exhibited the abilities of adhering to dentin and healing of defected periodontal tissue.

Alqahtani AM. Guided Tissue and Bone Regeneration Membranes: A Review of Biomaterials and Techniques for Periodontal Treatments. Polymers (Basel) 2023; 15:3355. [PMID: 37631412 PMCID: PMC10457807 DOI: 10.3390/polym15163355] [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: 07/25/2023] [Revised: 08/05/2023] [Accepted: 08/08/2023] [Indexed: 08/27/2023] Open
Abstract
This comprehensive review provides an in-depth analysis of the use of biomaterials in the processes of guided tissue and bone regeneration, and their indispensable role in dental therapeutic interventions. These interventions serve the critical function of restoring both structural integrity and functionality to the dentition that has been lost or damaged. The basis for this review is laid through the exploration of various relevant scientific databases such as Scopus, PubMed, Web of science and MEDLINE. From a meticulous selection, relevant literature was chosen. This review commences by examining the different types of membranes used in guided bone regeneration procedures and the spectrum of biomaterials employed in these operations. It then explores the manufacturing technologies for the scaffold, delving into their significant impact on tissue and bone regenerations. At the core of this review is the method of guided bone regeneration, which is a crucial technique for counteracting bone loss induced by tooth extraction or periodontal disease. The discussion advances by underscoring the latest innovations and strategies in the field of tissue regeneration. One key observation is the critical role that membranes play in guided reconstruction; they serve as a barrier, preventing the entry of non-ossifying cells, thereby promoting the successful growth and regeneration of bone and tissue. By reviewing the existing literature on biomaterials, membranes, and scaffold manufacturing technologies, this paper illustrates the vast potential for innovation and growth within the field of dental therapeutic interventions, particularly in guided tissue and bone regeneration.

Abstract
The furcation is the anatomic area where the roots divide on a multirooted tooth. Periodontal disease causing alveolar bone loss can lead to furcation lesions of various stages. Once furcation involvement has occurred, the area can be more difficult to clean or treat due to the complex anatomy and morphology of furcations. Teeth with short root trunks, longer tooth roots, and roots with wide furcation entrance areas/degrees of separation and wide root divergence are considered better candidates for long term maintenance. Dog teeth possess many of these advantageous anatomic features compared to human teeth. Treatment options for teeth with furcation lesions include: closed debridement, open debridement, furcation plasty, tunneling, partial tooth or root resection, root separation (hemisection or trisection), regenerative therapies, or exodontia. There are many factors to consider in determining treatment options. The favorable and unfavorable characteristics for maintenance of teeth with furcation lesions are summarized. Home care and ongoing professional care are important aspects of periodontal disease control for any patient. Studies of systemic and local antibiotic therapies in human patients have not demonstrated reduction of furcation stages, and probiotic effects at furcation sites have not been specifically examined. Human review studies show that most molar teeth once deemed "hopeless" due to stage 3 furcation lesions can be maintained for at least 5 to 15 years with supportive periodontal therapy. Similar long term studies in dogs are needed to improve the evidence-based management of canine patients with furcation lesions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the regenerative capacity of a newly-developed polycaprolactone (PCL)-based nanofibrous composite scaffold either alone or in combination with adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) as a treatment modality for class II furcation defects. MATERIALS AND METHODS After ADSCs isolation and scaffold characterization, the mandibular premolars of adult male mongrel dogs were selected and randomly assigned into three equal groups. In group I, class II furcation defects were surgically induced to the inter-radicular bone. While class II furcation defects of group II were induced as in group I. In addition, the defects were filled with the prefabricated scaffold. Moreover, class II furcation defects of group III were induced as in group II and instead the defects were filled with the prefabricated scaffold seeded with ADSCs. The dogs were sacrificed at 30 days or at 60 days. Periodontal wound healing/regeneration was evaluated by radiological examination using cone beam computed tomography and histologically using ordinary, histochemical, and immunohistochemical staining. RESULTS In the two examination periods, group II defects compared to group I, and group III compared to the other groups showed a decrease in defect dimensions radiographically. Histologically, histochemically, and immunohistochemically, they significantly demonstrated better periodontal wound healing/regeneration, predominant collagen type I of newly formed bone and periodontal ligament with a significant increase in the immunoreactivity of vascular endothelial growth factor and osteopontin. CONCLUSIONS The newly fabricated nanofibrous scaffold has enhanced periodontal wound healing/regeneration of class II furcation defects with further enhancement achieved when ADSCs seeded onto the scaffold before implantation. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The implementation of our newly-developed PCL-based nanofibrous composite scaffolds in class II furcation defect either alone or in conjunction with ADSCs can be considered as a suitable treatment modality to allow periodontal tissues regeneration.

Abstract
Periodontal disease (PD) is one of the most common inflammatory oral diseases, affecting approximately 47% of adults aged 30 years or older in the United States. If not treated properly, PD leads to degradation of periodontal tissues, causing tooth movement, and eventually tooth loss. Conventional clinical therapy for PD aims at eliminating infectious sources, and reducing inflammation to arrest disease progression, which cannot achieve the regeneration of lost periodontal tissues. Over the past two decades, various regenerative periodontal therapies, such as guided tissue regeneration (GTR), enamel matrix derivative, bone grafts, growth factor delivery, and the combination of cells and growth factors with matrix-based scaffolds have been developed to target the restoration of lost tooth-supporting tissues, including periodontal ligament, alveolar bone, and cementum. This review discusses recent progresses of periodontal regeneration using tissue-engineering and regenerative medicine approaches. Specifically, we focus on the advances of biomaterials and controlled drug delivery for periodontal regeneration in recent years. Special attention is given to the development of advanced bio-inspired scaffolding biomaterials and temporospatial control of multi-drug delivery for the regeneration of cementum-periodontal ligament-alveolar bone complex. Challenges and future perspectives are presented to provide inspiration for the design and development of innovative biomaterials and delivery system for new regenerative periodontal therapy.

Abstract
Periodontal disease is categorized by the destruction of periodontal tissues. Over the years, there have been several clinical techniques and material options that been investigated for periodontal defect repair/regeneration. The development of improved biomaterials for periodontal tissue engineering has significantly improved the available treatment options and their clinical results. Bone replacement graft materials, barrier membranes, various growth factors and combination of these have been used. The available bone tissue replacement materials commonly used include autografts, allografts, xenografts and alloplasts. These graft materials mostly function as osteogenic, osteoinductive and/or osteoconductive scaffolds. Polymers (natural and synthetic) are more widely used as a barrier material in guided tissue regeneration (GTR) and guided bone regeneration (GBR) applications. They work on the principle of epithelial cell exclusion to allow periodontal ligament and alveolar bone cells to repopulate the defect before the normally faster epithelial cells. However, in an attempt to overcome complications related to the epithelial down-growth and/or collapse of the non-rigid barrier membrane and to maintain space, clinicians commonly use a combination of membranes with hard tissue grafts. This article aims to review various available natural tissues and biomaterial based bone replacement graft and membrane options used in periodontal regeneration applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Guided tissue regeneration (GTR) is often incorporated in regenerative periodontal surgical procedures. However, the actual benefits of adding GTR to such a procedure remain undocumented. The purpose of this randomized controlled trial was to investigate the contribution of GTR to the outcomes of open flap debridement (OFD) in the treatment of intrabony defects. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 16 patients of both sexes satisfying the criteria of chronic periodontitis and each of whom displayed one intrabony defect were randomly assigned to two groups, i.e. either treated with open flap surgery and GTR (group 1) or with open flap surgery alone (group 2), in this parallel-arm study. The soft tissue and hard tissue measurements, including probing pocket depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL), and bone mineral density were recorded at baseline and 3,6 and 12 months after surgery. The differences with a P < 0.05 were considered significant. RESULTS Results showed that the membrane group showed significant difference when compared with open flap surgery alone, in relation to the degree of periodontal pocket, clinical attachment loss, and bone density. CONCLUSION The findings of this study suggest that biocollagen membrane could be considered as an option in the treatment of intrabony defects. Biocollagen membrane alone gives favorable clinical results in the treatment of intrabony defects. Open flap debridement resulted in acceptable clinical results in the treatment of intrabony defects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Guided tissue regeneration (GTR) allows mesenchymal cells to repopulate the defects. However, there is limited information regarding the efficacy of different membranes. The present study was designed to histologically and histomorphometrically compare three collagen membranes in regenerative treatment of dehiscence defects in dogs. MATERIALS AND METHODS This 8 weeks experimental animal study comprised 4 healthy dogs. 5 × 5 mm periodontal dehiscences were created in each side of the mandible (4 dehiscences in each side of dogs' mandible). In each side, one dehiscence defect was left uncovered as a control site and three other sites were randomly covered with different collagen membranes (Biogide (BG), Biomend (BM), and Cytoplast (CYT)). Histomorphometric and histologic analysis were conducted at 4 and 8 weeks. Data were analyzed using ANOVA, Mann-Withney, Kruskal-Wallis and Fisher 's exact tests (α = 0.05). RESULTS According to histomorphometric analysis there was a significant difference between treatment and control groups regarding the bone formation and the distance between the reference point and apical end of junctional epithelium (DJE) (P < 0.05). At 4 weeks, the maximum amount of bone thickness and height was observed in BG and CYT respectively, and this maximum rate was seen with the use of BG at 8 weeks. It was shown that DJE reached its highest rate in BM and CYT at 4 and 8 weeks, respectively. Organized PDL was formed in treatment groups. CONCLUSION The membrane-treated groups had a statistically significant increase in bone formation and connective tissue attachment compared to control groups. However, there are some differences among experimental groups, which should be considered in GTR treatments.

Abstract
Background and aims Plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF) is a concentrated suspension of growth factors, which is used to promote periodontal tissue regeneration. The aim of this randomized, controlled, clinical trial was to evaluate of the treatment of grade II mandibular molar furcation involvement using autogenous bone graft with and without PRGF.
Materials and methods In this double-blind clinical trial, thirty mandibular molars with grade II furcation involvement in 30 patients were selected. The test group received bone graft combined with PRGF, while the control group was treated with bone graft only. Clinical parameters included clinical probing depth (CPD), vertical clinical attachment level (V-CAL), horizontal clinical attachment level (H-CAL), location of gingival margin (LGM), surgically exposed horizontal probing depth of bony defect (E-HPD), vertical depth of bone crest (V-DBC), vertical depth of the base of bony defect (V-DBD), and length of the intrabony defect (LID). After six months, a re-entry surgery was performed. Data were analyzed by SPSS 14, using Kolmogorov, Mann-Whitney U, and paired t-test.
Results After 6 months, both treatment methods led to significant improvement in V-CAL and H-CAL and significant decreases in CPD, E-HPD, V-DBD and LID; there was no significant difference in LGM and V-DBC in any of the treated groups compared to the baseline values. Also, none of the parameters showed significant differences between the study groups.
Conclusion Although autogenous bone grafts, with or without PRGF, were successful in treating grade II furcation involvement, no differences between the study groups were observed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study is to verify the regenerative potential of particulate anorganic bone matrix-synthetic peptide-15 (ABM-P-15) in class III furcation defects associated or not with expanded polytetrafluoroethylene membranes. METHODS Class III furcation defects were produced in the mandibular premolars (P2, P3, and P4) of six dogs and filled with impression material. The membranes and the bone grafts were inserted into P3 and P4, which were randomized to form the test and control groups, respectively; P2 was the negative control group. The animals were sacrificed 3 months post-treatment. RESULTS Histologically, the complete closure of class III furcation defects was not observed in any of the groups. Partial periodontal regeneration with similar morphologic characteristics among the groups was observed, however, through the formation of new cementum, periodontal ligament, and bone above the notch. Histologic analysis showed granules from the bone graft surrounded by immature bone matrix and encircled by newly formed tissue in the test group. The new bone formation area found in the negative control group was 2.28 + or - 2.49 mm(2) and in the test group it was 6.52 + or - 5.69 mm(2), which showed statistically significant differences for these groups considering this parameter (Friedman test P <0.05). There was no statistically significant difference among the negative control, control, and test groups for the other parameters. CONCLUSIONS The regenerative potential of ABM-P-15 was demonstrated through new bone formation circumscribing and above the graft particles. The new bone also was accompanied by the formation of new cementum and periodontal ligament fibers.

Abstract
In periodontal research, animal studies are complementary to in vitro experiments prior to testing new treatments. Animal models should make possible the validation of hypotheses and prove the safety and efficacy of new regenerating approaches using biomaterials, growth factors or stem cells. A review of the literature was carried out by using electronic databases (PubMed, ISI Web of Science). Numerous animal models in different species such as rats, hamsters, rabbits, ferrets, canines and primates have been used for modeling human periodontal diseases and treatments. However, both the anatomy and physiopathology of animals are different from those of humans, making difficult the evaluation of new therapies. Experimental models have been developed in order to reproduce major periodontal diseases (gingivitis, periodontitis), their pathogenesis and to investigate new surgical techniques. The aim of this review is to define the most pertinent animal models for periodontal research depending on the hypothesis and expected results.

Abstract
PURPOSE Periodontal regenerative therapies for defects created by severe periodontitis are mainly focused on bone regeneration. Although cementum regeneration needs to be better understood, it is believed to play an important role in periodontal regeneration. The first step toward a full understanding of cementum regeneration is to compare repaired cementum to pristine cementum. This study, which used histological techniques, was designed to focus on cementum regeneration and to compare pristine cementum to repaired cementum after surgical procedures with 8 and 24 week healing periods in a canine model. METHODS Buccal and lingual mucoperiosteal flaps of 10 beagle dogs were surgically reflected to create critical-sized defects. Intrabony one-wall defects, of which dimension is 4 mm width and 5 mm depth, were made at the distal aspect of mandibular second premolars and the mesial aspect of mandibular fourth premolars in the right and left jaw quadrants. Animals were sacrificed after 8 and 24 weeks post-surgery for histological specimen preparation and histometric analysis. RESULTS The repaired cementum was composed mostly of acellular cementum and cellular mixed fiber cementum and was thicker in the apical area than in the coronal area. The acellular cementum of the supracrestal area appeared to be amorphous. The newly formed cellular cementum was partially detached from the underlying circumpulpal dentin, which implied a weak attachment between new cementum and dentin, and this split was observed to a lesser extent in the 24 week group than in the 8 week group. The vertical height of the repaired cementum was greater in the 24 week group than in the 8 week group. CONCLUSIONS Within the limitations of this study, we can conclude that repaired cementum after root planing was mainly acellular cementum and cementum tissue that matured to a shape similar to pristine cementum as the healing progressed from 8 to 24 weeks.

Abstract
For the determination of key factors or devices that promote periodontal regeneration, preclinical investigations using in vivo animal models are critical for evaluating the biological responses before human clinical trial testing. In this chapter, we provide an overview on the commonly used preclinical animals for the study of reconstructive procedures to promote bone and soft tissue repair of tooth-supporting periodontal defects. Steps are provided on the animal management for evaluation of outcome measures using descriptive histology, histomorphometry, three-dimensional imaging, and safety assessments. The use of these key measures of periodontal regeneration should aid investigators in the selection of appropriate surrogate endpoints to be utilized in the clinical arena, which are not practical or ethical in humans. These methods will prepare investigators and assist them in identifying endpoints that can then be adapted to human clinical trial planning.

Abstract
The development of new medical formulations (NMF) for reconstructive therapies has considerably improved the available treatment options for individuals requiring periodontal repair or oral implant rehabilitation. Progress in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine modalities strongly depends on validated pre-clinical research. Pre-clinical testing has contributed to the recent approval of NMF such as GEM 21S and INFUSE bone grafts for periodontal and oral regenerative therapies. However, the selection of a suitable pre-clinical model for evaluation of the safety and efficacy of a NMF remains a challenge. This review is designed to serve as a primer to choose the appropriate pre-clinical models for the evaluation of NMF in situations requiring periodontal or oral reconstruction. Here, we summarize commonly used pre-clinical models and provide examples of screening and functional studies of NMF that can be translated into clinical use.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to evaluate acellular dermal matrix (ADM) as a membrane for guided tissue regeneration (GTR) in the treatment of mandibular Class II furcation lesions and to compare it to a bioabsorbable membrane. METHODS Class II furcation lesions were created surgically and chronified in six mongrel dogs on the buccal surfaces of mandibular third and fourth premolars, bilaterally. After 1 month, GTR was performed. Each side was assigned randomly to the control group (CGr: bioabsorbable membrane made of polyglycolic acid: trimethylene carbonate) or the test group (TGr: ADM as a membrane). Clinical measurements of the width and thickness of the keratinized tissue (WKT and TKT, respectively) were made before GTR. The dogs were sacrificed 12 weeks following GTR, and histomorphometric analysis was performed. Area measurements were taken of new tissue, epithelium, connective tissue, and new bone; bone height and new cementum were measured. RESULTS The formation of new bone, cementum, and periodontal ligament were similar in both groups. There were no statistically significant differences between the groups for any histomorphometric measurement. The TGr had a statistically significant increase in WKT and TKT after 3 months. The mean TKT gain was 1.03 mm for the TGr and 0.26 mm for the CGr (P <0.05). CONCLUSION The ADM demonstrated histomorphometric results similar to the bioabsorbable membrane and resulted in a greater increase in the thickness of the keratinized tissue.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe the periodontal tissues formed following guided tissue regeneration (GTR) therapy of intra-bony defects (IBD). METHODS Eight adult Macaca fascicularis monkeys were used. Proximal IBD were created at the mandibular second pre-molars and second molars. After 3 months, GTR surgery was performed. The animals were euthanized at 6 months and 2 years after surgery. Block biopsies were harvested, and prepared for histological analysis. RESULTS At 6 months the defect had healed with new cementum (NC), periodontal ligament (PDL) and bone. The NC seemed to be firmly anchored to the dentin. Supra-crestally, the NC consisted of a 10 microm thick layer of acellular extrinsic fibre cementum (AEFC). Sub-crestally, the NC was considerably thicker and consisted of an inner layer of AEFC and an outer thicker layer of cellular mixed fibre cementum (CMFC). The extrinsic fibre density amounted to about 10 fibres per 100 microm. The PDL was wider than the pristine PDL and widened in coronal direction. After 2 years of healing, the thickness of the NC in the sub-crestal compartment had increased by about 20 microm and the fibre density had increased by about 50%. CONCLUSION After 2 years of healing the structure of the regenerated tissues resembled that of pristine periodontal tissues.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Up until now, no predictable periodontal regeneration of Class III furcation defects has been demonstrated after treatment with different available techniques. Recently, a bone graft enriched with a peptide was developed and has shown satisfactory results when applied in intrabony defects. The aim of this study was to compare the use of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) membrane associated (test group) or not (control group) with anorganic bovine-derived bone matrix (ABM)/synthetic peptide, in the treatment of Class III furcation defects in dogs. METHODS Six mongrel dogs were used in this study, and the second and fourth mandibular lower premolars were extracted. Class III furcation defects were surgically created in the third premolars and filled with impression material. Afterwards, the defects were surgically assessed for debridement and root planing. Teeth were randomly assigned into test and control groups. The membranes were removed after 4 weeks, and the animals were sacrificed 12 weeks later. RESULTS Comparisons between groups by the Wilcoxon signed rank test showed no statistically significant differences in the parameters evaluated. In the control group, a new bone area (NBA) of 41.71%+/-24.07%, connective tissue area (CTA) of 36.34%+/-15.50%, and epithelium tissue area (ETA) of 9.39%+/-5.85% were observed. The new cementum extension (NCE) was 24.16%+/-13.18%. The test group presented an NBA of 31.84%+/-12.58%, CTA of 47.72%+/-11.33%, ETA of 9.17%+/-6.81%, and an NCE of 30.13%+/-16.43%. CONCLUSION There was no statistically significant difference between the two therapies: ePTFE membrane associated with ABM/synthetic peptide flow or ePTFE membrane only.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate in an animal model the healing of degree II furcation defects treated with: an experimental barrier of resin-modified glass-ionomer cement (GIC), a polylactic acid barrier (GUI), and flap surgery (CTR). MATERIAL AND METHODS In 3 beagles, 18 class II furcation defects were surgically produced in mandibular and maxillary premolars and exposed to plaque accumulation for 21 days. Following a full flap, notches were made at the base to the bone defect. GIC barriers were prepared immediately before use from a commercial product and fit to place with the same product. The GIC barriers were removed after 30 days and the dogs euthanized after 120 days. Histologic sections were analyzed in a computer-assisted microscope. Epithelium, new cementum with inserting fibers, and connective tissue lining the root surface in-between notches were measured and medians of percentage values calculated. RESULTS In the GIC, epithelium constituted 3.5% (median values) of the notch-to-notch root area; new cementum was 83.6% and connective tissue 12.9%. These values were 0%, 73.6%, and 26.4% for the GUI group and 35.6%, 43.2%, and 0% for the CTR group. Bone fill median values were 54.3% for GIC, 20.6% for GUI, and 24.6% for CTR. CONCLUSION GIC and GUI prevented epithelial migration and promoted the formation of new periodontal tissues in experimentally induced class II furcation defects in dogs.

Abstract
This study investigated, both histologically and histometrically, the efficacy of enamel matrix derived proteins (EMD) associated with bioactive glass (BG) and an absorbable membrane in the treatment of class III furcation defects in mongrel dogs. After surgical defect creation and chronification, the lesions were randomly divided into three groups according to the treatment employed: Test Group 1 - EMD + BG + membrane, Test Group 2 - EMD + membrane and Control Group - BG + membrane. After a 90-day healing period, the dogs were sacrificed. The descriptive analysis and the histometric data showed similar results for the experimental groups in all studied parameters (MANOVA, p > 0.05). The association of Emdogain® with bioglass and GTR, or with GTR only, showed similar results when compared with the ones obtained with bioglass associated with membrane in the treatment of class III furcation defects in dogs. The three modalities of treatment showed partial filling of the furcations, with bone and cementum regeneration limited to the apical portion of the defects.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe periodontal wound healing in dehiscence-type defects following guided tissue re-generation (GTR) therapy. METHODS Ten adult Macaca fascicularis monkeys were used. Buccal dehiscence-type defects were created at the maxillary second pre-molars and second molars. After 3 months, GTR surgery was performed. The animals were euthanized at 6 weeks, 6 months and 2 years after surgery. Block biopsies were harvested, and prepared for histological analysis. RESULTS A new attachment apparatus was structured already after 6 weeks of healing. A 10-20 microm thin layer of acellular extrinsic fibre cementum (AEFC) had formed along the instrumented root surface. At 6 months, the thickness of the supracrestal cementum was comparable with that at 6 weeks, while the thickness of the subcrestal cementum had increased to 40-60 microm. In this zone, the cementum consisted of an inner layer of AEFC attached to the circum-pulpal dentin and an outer layer of cellular mixed fibre cementum (CMFC). The numerical extrinsic fibre density was twice that at 6 weeks. At 2 years, the periodontal tissues resembled the pristine periodontium. CONCLUSION Periodontal healing following GTR therapy of recession-type defects will result in a restitutio ad integrum, i.e. healing by re-generation. A continuous maturation process occurs over at least 2 years.

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
OBJECTIVE To validate a proposed model (Berglundh et al. 2003) and to evaluate the rate and degree of osseointegration at turned (T) and sand blasted and acid etched (SLA) implant surfaces during early phases of healing. MATERIAL AND METHODS The devices used for the study of early healing had a geometry that corresponded to that of a solid screw implant with either a SLA or a T surface configuration. A circumferential trough had been prepared within the thread region (intra-osseous portion) that established a geometrically well-defined wound chamber. Twenty Labrador dogs received totally 160 experimental devices to allow the evaluation of healing between 2 h and 12 weeks. Both ground and decalcified sections were prepared from mesial/distal and buccal/lingual device sites. Histometric and morphometric analyses of the ground sections and morphometric analysis of the tissue components in decalcified sections were performed. RESULTS The ground sections provided an overview of the various phases of tissue formation, while the decalcified, thin sections enabled a more detailed study of events involved in bone tissue modeling and remodeling for both SLA and T surfaces. The initially empty wound chamber became occupied with a coagulum and a granulation tissue that was replaced by a provisional matrix. The process of bone formation started already during the first week. The newly formed bone present at the lateral border of the cut bony bed appeared to be continuous with the parent bone, but on the SLA surface woven bone was also found at a distance from the parent bone. Parallel-fibered and/or lamellar bone as well as bone marrow replaced this primary bone after 4 weeks. In the SLA chambers, more bone-to-device contact, more initial woven bone and earlier lamellar bone formation was found than in the T chambers. CONCLUSION Osseointegration represents a dynamic process both during its establishment and its maintenance. While healing showed similar characteristics with resorptive and appositional events for both SLA and T surfaces, the rate and degree of osseointegration were superior for the SLA compared with the T chambers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of enamel matrix proteins (EMD) has been recently introduced as a new treatment alternative for periodontal regeneration. However, no histological studies are available investigating the effect of EMD in the treatment of degree III furcation involvements. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the healing of mandibular degree III furcation involvements histologically following treatment with guided tissue regeneration (GTR), EMD and a combination of EMD and GTR. MATERIAL AND METHODS Degree III furcation involvements were surgically created at the teeth 36, 37, 46, 47 in three monkeys (Macaca fascicularis). Spontaneous healing of the defects was prevented by placing impression material into the defects. After 6 weeks, full-thickness flaps were elevated at the buccal and lingual aspect of the experimental teeth. Following removal of all granulation tissue from the furcation defects, scaling/root planing and conditioning of the root surfaces with 24% EDTA gel, the defects were treated with one of the following treatment modalities: (i) EMD, (ii) GTR or (iii) a combination of EMD and GTR. The defects serving as control did not receive any treatment, except from complete coverage with coronally displaced flaps. After 5 months of healing, the animals were killed and perfused with 10% buffered formalin for fixation. The experimental teeth with surrounding tissues were dissected free, decalcified in EDTA, dehydrated and embedded in paraffin. 8 microm thick histological sections were cut and stained and subsequently examined under the light microscope. RESULTS The histological analysis revealed that with GTR or combined EMD and GTR treatment, new attachment formation (new cementum with inserting collagen fibers) had occurred on almost the entire circumference of the furcation and new bone was almost filling the defect in the situations where the membrane was not exposed. The sites treated only with EMD exhibited new attachment and new bone formation to a varying extent, while the control sites presented only limited new attachment and bone formation. CONCLUSION The results provided histological evidence suggesting that both GTR and EMD may result in true periodontal regeneration, and suggest that this type of healing might be favored by such treatments in comparison with flap surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe a model for the investigation of different phases of wound healing that are involved in the process resulting in osseointegration. MATERIAL AND METHODS The implants used for the study of early healing had a geometry that corresponded to that of a solid screw implant with an SLA surface configuration. A circumferential trough had been prepared within the thread region (intra-osseous portion) that established a geometrically well-defined wound compartment. Twenty Labrador dogs received 160 experimental devices totally to allow the evaluation of healing between 2 h and 12 weeks. Both ground sections and decalcified sections were prepared from different implant sites. RESULTS The experimental chamber used appeared to be conducive for the study of early phases of bone formation. The ground sections provided an overview of the various phases of soft and hard tissue formation, while the decalcified, thin sections enabled a more detailed study of events involved in bone tissue modeling and remodeling. The initially empty wound chamber became occupied with a coagulum and a granulation tissue that was replaced by a provisional matrix. The process of bone formation started already during the first week. The newly formed bone present at the lateral border of the cut bony bed appeared to be continuous with the parent bone, but woven bone was also found on the SLA surface at a distance from the parent bone. This primary bone that included trabeculae of woven bone was replaced by parallel-fibered and/or lamellar bone and marrow. Between 1 and 2 weeks, the bone tissue immediately lateral to the pitch region, responsible for primary mechanical stability of the device, became resorbed and replaced with newly formed viable bone. Despite this temporary loss of hard tissue contact, the implants remained clinically stable at all times. CONCLUSION Osseointegration represents a dynamic process both during its establishment and its maintenance. In the establishment phase, there is a delicate interplay between bone resorption in contact regions (between the titanium body and mineralized bone) and bone formation in 'contact- free' areas. During the maintenance phase, osseointegration is secured through continuous remodeling and adaptation to function.

Abstract
The periodontal ligament, located between the cementum and the alveolar bone, has a width ranging from 0.15 to 0.38 mm. Regeneration and homeostasis of the periodontal ligament are highly significant functions in relation to periodontal therapy, tooth transplantation or replantation, and orthodontic tooth movement. The purpose of this review is to discuss the regulatory mechanisms of regenerative and homeostatic functions in the periodontal ligament based on currently published studies and also on our own experimental data. We consider the capability of the ligament tissue to promote or to suppress calcification in connection with bone and cementum formation and the maintenance of the periodontal ligament space. Also discussed are the involvement of the periodontal ligament tissue in the regenerative ability, cell proliferation, growth and differentiation factors, extracellular matrix proteins, homeostatic phenomena, function of Malassez epithelial rests, tooth movement, or occlusal loading. Regulatory mechanisms for regeneration and homeostasis of the periodontal ligament are hypothetically proposed.

Abstract
AIM The comparison of the clinical, radiographic, and microbiological healing results in deep intrabony defects following GTR therapy with two different bioresorbable membranes in a prospective split-mouth design. MATERIAL AND METHODS 31 pairs of contralateral intrabony defects were randomly treated with either an experimental Polydioxanon (PDS) membrane or a Polylactic acid (PLA) matrix barrier. After 6, 12 and 24 months, healing results were assessed using clinical examinations (REC, PPD, CAL, vertical relative attachment gain V-rAG), quantitative digital subtraction radiography (amount and area of bone density changes), and microbiological analysis. RESULTS Postoperative membrane exposures occurred in 14 PDS and 2 PLA treated sites. 6, 12 and 24 months p.o., both membranes provided a significant gain in CAL [median values: 6 months (PDS vs. PLA: 3.0 vs. 3.0 mm); 12 and 24 months (PDS vs. PLA: 4.0 vs. 4.0 mm)], which corresponded to a V-rAG of 57.1% (PDS) vs. 62.5% (PLA) after 24 months. PDS and PLA treated sites revealed significant bone density gain 6, 12 and 24 months after surgery. 38.8% (PDS) vs. 41.8% (PLA) of the initial defect areas showed bone density gain. While the gain in bone density was significantly greater in PDS than in PLA sites, neither CAL gain nor the area of bone density changes revealed significant differences. Microbiological culture revealed similar bacterial loads in PDS and PLA sites during the first 12 months. CONCLUSION This 24-month study indicates that the PDS and PLA membranes can provide similar favorable regeneration results in deep intrabony periodontal defects, although considerably more postoperative membrane exposures have to be expected in PDS treated sites.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The poor predictability of periodontal regenerative treatment of Class III furcation defects stimulates the study of alternatives to improve its results, such as the use of polypeptide growth factors. The objective of this study was to evaluate, both histologically and histometrically, the effects of topical application of basic fibroblast growth factor (b-FGF) associated with guided tissue regeneration (GTR) in the treatment of Class III defects surgically induced in dogs. METHODS All second and fourth premolars of 5 mongrel dogs were used and randomly assigned to one of three treatment groups: group 1 (control), treated with scaling and root planing, tetracycline hydrochloride (125 mg/ml) conditioning, and GTR with a collagen membrane; group 2, same treatment as group 1 plus 0.5 mg of b-FGF; group 3, same treatment as group 1 plus 1.0 mg of b-FGF. After a 90-day healing period, routine histologic processing and staining with hematoxylin and eosin and Masson trichrome were performed. RESULTS The descriptive analysis indicated better regenerative results in both groups treated with b-FGF while the histometric data, analyzed by means of analysis of variance (ANOVA), showed greater filling of the defects in group 2 in comparison to the defects in groups 3 and 1, respectively, which was represented by a smaller area of plaque-occupied space (P = 0.004) as well as a greater amount of newly formed cementum (P = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS These results indicate that b-FGF, especially in smaller doses, may enhance the regenerative results in Class III furcation lesions, leading to greater filling of these defects with both mineralized and non-mineralized tissues.
