ADVANCED SCIENCE (WEINHEIM, BADEN-WURTTEMBERG, GERMANY) 2024; 11:e2308848. [PMID: 38380549 PMCID: PMC11077667 DOI: 10.1002/advs.202308848] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2023] [Revised: 01/23/2024] [Indexed: 02/22/2024]
Abstract
Periodontitis is a dysbiosis-driven inflammatory disease affecting the tooth-supporting tissues, characterized by their progressive resorption, which can ultimately lead to tooth loss. A step-wise therapeutic approach is employed for periodontitis. After an initial behavioral and non-surgical phase, intra-bony or furcation defects may be amenable to regenerative procedures. This review discusses the regenerative technologies employed for periodontal regeneration, highlighting the current limitations and future research areas. The search, performed on the MEDLINE database, has identified the available biomaterials, including biologicals (autologous platelet concentrates, hydrogels), bone grafts (pure or putty), and membranes. Biologicals and bone grafts have been critically analyzed in terms of composition, mechanism of action, and clinical applications. Although a certain degree of periodontal regeneration is predictable in intra-bony and class II furcation defects, complete defect closure is hardly achieved. Moreover, treating class III furcation defects remains challenging. The key properties required for functional regeneration are discussed, and none of the commercially available biomaterials possess all the ideal characteristics. Therefore, research is needed to promote the advancement of more effective and targeted regenerative therapies for periodontitis. Lastly, improving the design and reporting of clinical studies is suggested by strictly adhering to the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) 2010 statement.

Felemban B. Fibroblast Viability Through Mechanical and Chemical Root Surface Modifications in Periodontal Healing: An In Vitro Comparative Study. Cureus 2023; 15:e50381. [PMID: 38213353 PMCID: PMC10782651 DOI: 10.7759/cureus.50381] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 11/28/2023] [Indexed: 01/13/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The wound-healing process incorporates a spectrum of periodontal therapeutic interventions that strive to restore the health and function of the periodontium. Fibroblasts play pivotal roles in tissue repair and regeneration. Extensive research has been focused on mechanical and chemical root surface modifications to enhance fibroblast adhesion, which is crucial for successful wound healing. PURPOSE This study aimed to assess the combined efficacy of mechanical and chemical root surface modifications in promoting fibroblast viability to root surfaces affected by periodontitis in comparison to chemical modifications alone. MATERIALS AND METHODS Root samples were collected from healthy individuals and those with advanced periodontitis. The specimens were prepared, and the experimental groups were categorized based on the type of surface modification with mechanical and/or chemical materials, including hyaluronic acid (HA), ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), enamel matrix derivatives (EMD), and EDTA/EMD. Fibroblasts were seeded onto previously treated root samples. Cell adhesion was assessed using a viability assay. RESULTS Fibroblast viability was significantly higher on root surfaces treated with chemical agents than on those treated with mechanical and chemical modifications. Long-duration EDTA and short-duration EMD treatments were significantly effective in enhancing cell viability. EDTA/EMD surface treatments resulted in significantly higher cell viability in all groups compared to the periodontitis root surfaces. CONCLUSION EDTA, EMD, and their combined application can potentially ameliorate periodontitis-induced surface structural impairments. Mechanical surface debridement can significantly affect the effectiveness of EDTA and EMD root conditioning agents.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study evaluated clinically and histologically the efficacy of modified perforated collagen membrane (PCM) and/or leukocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF) in combination with xenogeneic block bone graft in the vertical alveolar ridge augmentation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Six adult mongrel dogs were enrolled in this randomized blinded study. After defect preparation, xenogeneic screw-fixed block graft was covered by an occlusive collagen membrane in group 1 that represented the control group (Block + CM). In group 2, L-PRF membrane was added first before top coverage by occlusive collagen membrane (Block + L-PRF + CM). Groups 3 (Block + PCM) and 4 (Block + L-PRF + PCM) were identical to the first two groups except that the occlusive collagen membrane was replaced by a perforated one. Following a healing period of 2 months, the dogs were submitted to the surgical reentry phase for clinical and histological evaluation. RESULTS Clinically, no significant differences were found among all groups regarding vertical and horizontal ridge dimensions (p = 0.155, 0.492, respectively). Histomorphometric analysis revealed that the percentage of the total bone area and mature bone was significantly higher in group 4 (69.36 ± 2.72, 33.11 ± 5.18) compared to the control group (59.17 ± 4.27, 21.94 ± 2.86) (p = 0. 027, p = 0.029). CONCLUSION The use of xenogenic block grafts in combination with a double-layered perforated collagen L-PRF membrane in vertical ridge augmentation appeared to improve the inductive power of this challenging defect type. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Size and number of perforations may affect the mechanical and handling properties of the membrane.

Abstract
Calcium phosphate (CaP)-based materials have been extensively used for mineralized tissues in the craniofacial complex. Owing to their excellent biocompatibility, biodegradability, and inherent osteoconductive nature, their use as delivery systems for drugs and bioactive factors has several advantages. Of the three mineralized tissues in the craniofacial complex (bone, dentin, and enamel), only bone and dentin have some regenerative properties that can diminish due to disease and severe injuries. Therefore, targeting these regenerative tissues with CaP delivery systems carrying relevant drugs, morphogenic factors, and ions is imperative to improve tissue health in the mineralized tissue engineering field. In this review, the use of CaP-based microparticles, nanoparticles, and polymer-induced liquid precursor (PILPs) amorphous CaP nanodroplets for delivery to craniofacial bone and dentin are discussed. The use of these various form factors to obtain either a high local concentration of cargo at the macroscale and/or to deliver cargos precisely to nanoscale structures is also described. Finally, perspectives on the field using these CaP materials and next steps for the future delivery to the craniofacial complex are presented.

Cell Transplant 2023; 32:9636897231202541. [PMID: 37798942 PMCID: PMC10557410 DOI: 10.1177/09636897231202541] [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: 05/19/2023] [Revised: 08/12/2023] [Accepted: 09/05/2023] [Indexed: 10/07/2023] Open
Abstract
This study aims to investigate the effects of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2VitD3) on osteogenic differentiation of human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) and the activity of hPDLSC sheets and the differences in the tissue regeneration activity of hPDLSC sheets on tooth root fragment treated by different methods. Healthy caries-free premolars were collected. The hPDLSCs were obtained by enzymatic digestion. Surface markers of stem cells were analyzed by flow cytometry and the multidirectional differentiation ability of hPDLSCs was detected. During the osteogenic differentiation of hPDLSCs, 1,25(OH)2VitD3 was added and the effect of 1,25(OH)2VitD3 on osteogenic differentiation of hPDLSCs was assessed using Western blotting, quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, cell staining, and immunofluorescence. After hPDLSC sheets were prepared, histology and immunofluorescence analysis of the effect of 1,25(OH)2VitD3 on sheet activity were performed. In addition, root fragments were prepared and treated with scaling, 24% EDTA (ethylenediamide tetraacetic acid), and Er,Cr:YSGG lasers, respectively, and the tissue regeneration activity of hPDLSC sheets on different root fragments were observed. 1,25(OH)2VitD3 promoted the high gene and protein expressions of osteogenic markers ALP (alkaline phosphatase), Runx2, and OPN (osteopontin antibody) in hPDLSCs, along with enhanced ALP activity and staining, alizarin red staining, and immunofluorescence staining, indicating that the osteogenic differentiation ability of hPDLSCs was improved. Extracellular matrix secretion was increased in hPDLSC sheets, along with the positive expressions of the protein markers fibronectin and collagen I, suggesting that 1,25(OH)2VitD3 could enhance these effects. In addition, the root fragments treated by Er,Cr:YSGG laser were more suitable for the attachment and regeneration of hPDLSC sheets, demonstrating that 1,25(OH)2VitD3 could improve the tissue regeneration performance of these sheets. 1,25(OH)2VitD3 can promote osteogenic differentiation of hPDLSCs and thus plays an active role in hPDLSC sheet formation and tissue regeneration. In addition, the Er,Cr:YSGG laser can be used as the recommended treatment method for the root surface regenerated by hPDLSCs.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a multifactorial inflammatory condition associated with an oral microbiome dysbiosis that results in gingival inflammation and clinical attachment loss. Periodontal therapies are based on scaling and root planing to disturb the bacterial biofilm mechanically and remove calculus and contaminated cementum. Research does not support the use of root modifiers for decontamination and biomodification of periodontally affected root surfaces. Standardized clinical trials in large populations, assessing biological and patient-reported outcome measures, are necessary to evaluate candidate biomaterials for decontamination and biomodification of periodontally affected root surfaces.

Int J Implant Dent 2021; 7:50. [PMID: 34095987 PMCID: PMC8180471 DOI: 10.1186/s40729-021-00333-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2020] [Accepted: 03/19/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Bilayer collagen membranes are routinely used in guided bone/tissue regeneration to serve as osteoconductive scaffolds and prevent the invasion of soft tissues. It is recommended to place the membranes with their dense layer towards the soft tissue and their porous layer towards the bony defect area. However, evidence supporting this recommendation is lacking. This study aimed to determine whether the alignment of bilayer collagen membranes has an effect on bone regeneration. Methods In two groups of ten male Sprague-Dawley rats each, a 5-mm calvarial defect was created. Thereafter, the defect was randomly covered with a bilayer, resorbable, pure type I and III collagen membrane placed either regularly or upside-down (i.e., dense layer towards bone defect). After 4 weeks of healing, micro-computed tomography (μCT), histology, and histomorphometry of the inner cylindrical region of interest (4.5 mm in diameter) were performed to assess new bone formation and the consolidation of the collagen membrane in the defect area. Results Quantitative μCT showed similar bone volume (median 8.0 mm3, interquartile range 7.0–10.0 vs. 6.2 mm3, 4.3–9.4, p = 0.06) and trabecular thickness (0.21 mm, 0.19–0.23 vs. 0.18 mm, 0.17–0.20, p = 0.03) between upside-down and regular placement, both leading to an almost complete bony coverage. Histomorphometry showed comparable new bone areas between the upside-down and regularly placed membranes, 3.9 mm2 (2.7–5.4) vs. 3.8 mm2 (2.2–4.0, p = 0.31), respectively. Both treatment groups revealed the same regeneration patterns and spatial distribution of bone with and without collagen fibers, as well as residual collagen fibers. Conclusions Our data support the osteoconductive properties of collagen membranes and suggest that bone regeneration is facilitated regardless of membrane layer alignment.

Abstract
(1) Background: The aim of this study was examining the ex vivo and in vivo properties of a composite made from polycaprolactone (PCL) and biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) (synprint, ScientiFY GmbH) fabricated via fused deposition modelling (FDM); (2) Methods: Scaffolds were tested ex vivo for their mechanical properties using porous and solid designs. Subcutaneous implantation model analyzed the biocompatibility of PCL + BCP and PCL scaffolds. Calvaria implantation model analyzed the osteoconductive properties of PCL and PCL + BCP scaffolds compared to BCP as control group. Established histological, histopathological and histomorphometrical methods were performed to evaluate new bone formation.; (3) Results Mechanical testing demonstrated no significant differences between PCL and PCL + BCP for both designs. Similar biocompatibility was observed subcutaneously for PCL and PCL + BCP scaffolds. In the calvaria model, new bone formation was observed for all groups with largest new bone formation in the BCP group, followed by the PCL + BCP group, and the PCL group. This finding was influenced by the initial volume of biomaterial implanted and remaining volume after 90 days. All materials showed osteoconductive properties and PCL + BCP tailored the tissue responses towards higher cellular biodegradability. Moreover, this material combination led to a reduced swelling in PCL + BCP; (4) Conclusions: Altogether, the results show that the newly developed composite is biocompatible and leads to successful osteoconductive bone regeneration. The new biomaterial combines the structural stability provided by PCL with bioactive characteristics of BCP-based BSM. 3D-printed BSM provides an integration behavior in accordance with the concept of guided bone regeneration (GBR) by directing new bone growth for proper function and restoration.
