Multidimensional 3D-Printed Scaffolds and Regeneration of Intrabony Periodontal Defects: A Systematic Review. J Funct Biomater 2024; 15:44. [PMID: 38391897 PMCID: PMC10889986 DOI: 10.3390/jfb15020044] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2024] [Revised: 02/11/2024] [Accepted: 02/14/2024] [Indexed: 02/24/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The utilization of regenerative techniques in periodontology involves tailoring tissue engineering principles to suit the oral cavity's unique environment. Advancements in computer-assisted technology, specifically utilizing cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), enabled the fabrication of 3D-printed scaffolds. The current review aims to explore whether 3D-printed scaffolds are effective in promoting osteogenesis in patients with periodontal defects. METHODS A thorough exploration was undertaken across seven electronic databases (PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, Cochrane, Web of Science, Ovid) to detect pertinent research in accordance with specified eligibility criteria, aligning with the PRISMA guidelines. Two independent reviewers undertook the screening and selection of manuscripts, executed data extraction, and evaluated the bias risk using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale for non-randomized clinical trials and SYRCLE's risk of bias tool for animal studies. RESULTS Initially, 799 articles were identified, refined by removing duplicates. After evaluating 471 articles based on title and abstract, 18 studies remained for full-text assessment. Eventually, merely two manuscripts fulfilled all the eligibility criteria concerning human trials. Both studies were prospective non-randomized clinical trials. Moreover, 11 animal studies were also included. CONCLUSIONS The use of multidimensional, 3D-printed, customized scaffolds appears to stimulate periodontal regeneration. While the reported results are encouraging, additional studies are required to identify the ideal characteristics of the 3D scaffold to be used in the regeneration of periodontal tissue.

A study of method agreement in a medically compromised patient population. Clin Oral Investig 2024; 28:127. [PMID: 38289447 PMCID: PMC10827808 DOI: 10.1007/s00784-024-05527-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2023] [Accepted: 01/23/2024] [Indexed: 02/01/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Poor oral health and dental infections can jeopardize medical treatment and be life-threatening. Due to this, patients with head and neck malignancies, generalized tumor spread, organ transplant, or severe infection are referred for a clinical oral and radiographic examination. The aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic agreement of three radiographic modalities: intraoral radiographs (IO), panoramic radiographs (PX), and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) for diagnosis of dental diseases. MATERIALS AND METHODS Three hundred patients were examined with IO, PX, and CBCT. Periapical lesions, marginal bone level, and caries lesions were diagnosed separately by four oral radiologists. All observers also assessed six teeth in 30 randomly selected patients at two different occasions. Kappa values and percent agreement were calculated. RESULTS The highest Kappa value and percent agreement were for diagnosing periapical lesions (0.76, 97.7%), and for the assessment of marginal bone level, it varied between 0.58 and 0.60 (87.8-89.3%). In CBCT, only 44.4% of all teeth were assessable for caries (Kappa 0.68, 93.4%). The intra-observer agreement, for all modalities and diagnoses, showed Kappa values between 0.5 and 0.93 and inter-observer agreement varied from 0.51 to 0.87. CONCLUSIONS CBCT was an alternative to IO in diagnosing periapical lesions. Both modalities found the same healthy teeth in 93.8%. All modalities were performed equally regarding marginal bone level. In caries diagnosis, artifacts were the major cause of fallout for CBCT. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Intraoral radiography is the first-hand choice for diagnosing dental disease. For some rare cases where intraoral imaging is not possible, a dedicated panoramic image and/or CBCT examination is an alternative.

Abstract
Minimally invasive periodontal regenerative surgical procedures are a paradigm shift that demands a unique approach encompassing specialized armamentarium, magnification tools, knowledge of handling properties of biomaterials, and specific flap designs. Biologically driven flap design is dictated by optimal soft and hard tissue handling, flap perfusion, and wound stability, all in the pursuit of primary intention healing. The unique architecture of the infrabony defect is a determining factor on incision tracing, boundaries of flap extension, and biomaterial selection. The purpose of this article is to propose a flap design classification based on the osseous topography of infrabony defects during biologically driven minimally invasive surgical periodontal regenerative therapy.

Abstract
Introduction Periodontitis, a complex infectious disease that may lead to irreversible loss of periodontium, is considered a predisposing agent for developing insulin resistance due to the release of inflammatory mediators, showing a bilateral relationship with diabetes mellitus. The investigation of periodontal disease requires a clinical approach and complete intraoral radiographs, even with increasing concerns about radiation exposure. Thus, this study assesses pixel linear analysis accuracy using digital radiography via Digora® in detecting alveolar bone destruction in diabetic rats with periodontal disease. Methodology 40 rats were divided into groups (n = 10): control (C), rats with periodontal disease (PD), experimental diabetic rats (ED), experimental diabetic rats with periodontal disease (ED-PD). Diabetes was induced by streptozotocin and periodontal disease by periodontal ligature. After 30 days, maxillae bone destruction was obtained by linear analysis of vertical bone loss using digital radiography and then assessed by micro-CT and histology. Data were analyzed by ANOVA and Tukey’s test (p < 0.05). Results Radiographic, micro-CT and histological analysis presented accurate and similar results. PD and ED-PD groups showed higher bone destruction than C and ED groups (p < 0.05). Moreover, the ED-PD group had higher bone loss than the PD group (p < 0.05). Conclusion The pixel linear analysis via digital radiography was an accurate, low-cost alternative in detecting alveolar bone loss in this rat model. Micro-CT and histological analysis may also be used to obtain linear measures to assess and compare periodontal bone destruction in diabetic rats.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) technology has continuously evolved since its appearance in oral medicine in the early 2000s. OBJECTIVES To present recent advances in CBCT in oral medicine: i) selection of recent and consensual evidence-based sources, ii) structured summary of the information based on an iterative framework and iii) compliance with ethical, public health and patient-centered concerns. MAIN FINDINGS We will focus on technological advances, such as sensors and reconstruction algorithms used to improve the constant quality of the image and dosimetry. CBCT examination is now performed in almost all disciplines of oral medicine: currently, the main clinical disciplines that use CBCT acquisitions are endodontics and oral surgery, with clearly defined indications. Periodontology and ear, nose and throat medicine are more recent fields of application. For a given application and indication, the smallest possible field of view must be used. One of the major challenges in contemporary healthcare is ensuring that technological developments do not take precedence over admitted standards of care. The entire volume should be reviewed in full, with a systematic approach. All findings are noted in the patient's record and explained to the patient, including incidental findings. This presupposes the person reviewing the images is sufficiently trained to interpret such images, inform the patient and organize the clinical pathway, with referrals to other medical or oral medicine specialties as needed. CONCLUSION A close collaboration between dentists, medical physicists, radiologists, radiographers and engineers is critical for all aspects of CBCT technology.

Abstract
Dental radiography can be used to detect alveolar bone levels around periodontal and peri-implant structures. Periodontal radiographic images can assess alveolar bone height, periodontal ligament, furcation involvement, and evidence of bone destruction. Peri-implant radiographic images can assess the alveolar bone height in relation to the implant structure. As an adjunct to patient care, radiography can aid in the diagnosis of non-health.

Abstract
In the diagnosis and treatment of oral diseases, imaging examination is a more important auxiliary method. Among them, the application of digital X-ray examination is the most common. However, because the image information provided by this technology is a two-dimensional model, it is
difficult to obtain a comprehensive image, so there is a missed diagnosis. With the development of imaging technology, cone-beam CT (CBCT) is widely used in the diagnosis and treatment of oral diseases. This is a non-invasive imaging examination. The diagnosis effect is achieved by cone-beam
computed tomography or volume tomography. It has less radiation and low cost. Clear imaging and high spatial resolution. This study compared the diagnostic effect of cone-beam CT and traditional X-ray examination in diseases related to oral medicine to observe the diagnostic superiority of
cone-beam CT. In this study, we can know that 30 patients with periapical periodontal disease have been treated by this technique, and the detection accuracy rate is 100.00%. The damage of the apical root of the patient’s tooth is completely displayed in the image. The measurement results
of the bone defect around the tooth are accurate and space and the location image is presented in front of the doctor, so the detection accuracy of this technology is high. The study found that cone beam CT is effective in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases in oral medicine, and can clearly
show the three-dimensional structure of oral tissue, which is convenient for physicians to observe the shape of the disease and improve the accuracy of disease diagnosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nature and its products can be utilized for regeneration in periodontal destruction and damage to supporting tissues. We come across the use of various graft materials to reestablish the lost bone and for the long-term survival of teeth. The objective of this study was to evaluate the bone fill efficacy of Morinda citrifolia fruit extract in the periodontal bone defect. MATERIALS AND METHODS This randomized study included twenty patients indicated for periodontal regenerative therapy and were equally divided and assigned into the experimental and control group. Open flap debridement alone was performed in the control group, while placement of extract along with open flap debridement was done in the experimental group. Clinical parameters assessed were gingival index, probing pocket depth, and relative attachment level, and the amount of bone fill was assessed using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) at baseline and at 6-month interval. RESULTS From the values of clinical parameters, there was a mean reduction in probing pocket and gain in attachment level and a 27.7% increase in bone fill in experimental group as compared to the control group from CBCT analysis. CONCLUSIONS The use of M. citrifolia fruit extract in the intraosseous defect was found to be efficacious in terms of relative attachment level and the amount of bone fill, and it had shown some anti-inflammatory affect.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This article aims to appraise how scientific evidence related to CBCT has changed over the years, based on levels of evidence and diagnostic efficacy. METHODS A general search strategy was used in different databases (Pubmed, Embase, and Web of Science) to identify systematic reviews (SRs) on CBCT until November of 2020. The SRs included were divided according to different specialties of dentistry. A critical review of the articles was made, describing the level of evidence and efficacy. RESULTS In total, 75 articles were selected. There was an increase in the number of SRs on CBCT from 2014 onwards, as 83% of the SRs on this topic were published after 2013, and 72% between 2016 and to date. Twenty SRs (27%) performed meta-analysis. Only 28% of the SRs provided a detailed description of CBCT protocols. According to SR evidence, almost all specialties of dentistry have advanced concomitantly with the introduction of CBCT. The majority of SRs were related to clinical applications (level 2 of efficacy), followed by technical parameters (level 1 of efficacy). Only some CBCT models were mentioned in the SRs selected. CONCLUSION Over the course of 20 years, SRs related to CBCT applications for a broad range of dental specialties have been published, with the vast majority of studies at levels 1 and 2 of diagnostic efficacy. Not all CBCT models available on the market have been scientifically validated. At all times, one should remain cautious as such not to simply extrapolate in vitro results to the clinical setting. Also, considering the wide variety of CBCT devices and protocols, reported results should not be overstated or generalized, as outcomes often refer to specific CBCT devices and protocols.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Two clinical parameters, the gingival thickness (GT) and the width of keratinized tissue (WKT), describe the gingival phenotype, which is defined as the 3-dimensional volume of the gingiva. The periodontal phenotype additionally includes the thickness of the labial plate of the alveolar crest (TLPAC). MATERIAL AND METHODS Thirty patients with healthy periodontium on the upper canines and incisors underwent measurements for crestal, supracrestal, free gingival thickness (FGT), the alveolar crest-gingival margin (AC-GM), alveolar crest-cementoenamel junction distance, and the TLPAC at 2, 4, and 8 mm apically from the edge of the alveolar crest using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) with computer-aided design and prosthetic-driven implant planning technology. For each tooth, the gingival and periodontal phenotype was evaluated on the basis of the gingival thickness, width of keratinized tissue (WKT), and TLPAC measurements. Each patient's periodontal phenotype was evaluated according to the coronal width/length ratio of both the upper central incisors. RESULTS The dentogingival units had varying average values for the 3 periodontal phenotypes (thin phenotype: FGT 0.65±0.06 mm, WKT 4.85±1.18 mm, AC-GM 3.17±0.64 mm, TLPAC2 0.66±0.28 mm; medium phenotype: FGT 0.87±0.07 mm, WKT 5.49±1.23 mm, AC-GM 3.36±0.65 mm, TLPAC2 0.76±0.37 mm; and thick phenotype: FGT 1.20 mm, WKT 6.00 mm, AC-GM 3.90 mm, TLPAC2 0.90 mm). Positive correlations were seen among WKT, FGT, AC-GM, and TLPAC2. CONCLUSIONS Positive correlations between the FGT and WKT, and the AC-GM distance confirm that measurements using CBCT with computer-aided design and prosthetic-driven implant planning technology can evaluate the gingival phenotype and TLPAC2 for the periodontal phenotype.

BACKGROUND It is unknown whether cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) image reconstruction characteristics, including section thickness, may affect linear bone measurements of periodontal intrabony defects. The aim of this study was to compare intrasurgical and CBCT-based linear measurements of intrabony defects focusing on CBCT section thickness. METHODS Sixty-six intrabony defects were assessed in 21 patients with chronic generalized severe periodontitis. Linear measurements of alveolar bone (radiographic bone level [rBL]), assessed in CBCT images at diverse section thicknesses: 0.25 mm (voxel size), 1 mm, and 3 mm, were compared with clinical bone level (cBL) measurements obtained intrasurgically. To provide identical reference points for rBL and cBL measurements, individually adjusted grooves on the reference stent were prepared for each periodontal defect site. CBCT measurements were performed in two rounds by two trained observers. Observer agreement was assessed by intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC). ANOVA assessed the difference among cBL and rBL at different section thicknesses. RESULTS Intra- and inter-observer agreement was excellent (ICC >0.99) and highly significant independent of the observer, evaluation round, and CBCT section thickness. Mean rBL in the diverse CBCT section thicknesses was very close to that measured clinically (cBL). There was no statistically significant difference between cBL and rBL for any section thickness, neither for the overall evaluated sites, nor the maxilla or mandible separately. CONCLUSIONS No statistically significant difference between clinical and radiographic bone level for 0.25-, 1-, and 3-mm CBCT section thicknesses were observed when assessing intrabony periodontal defects.

Abstract
Abstract Lateral luxation injuries are one of the most severe periodontal injuries in dental trauma. The correct diagnosis followed by repositioning of the tooth on the right position is fundamental for the periodontal ligament healing. This study reported a clinical case of lateral luxation of maxillary central incisor involving a new cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) software for reconstruction (e-Vol DX) to confirm the lateral luxation after no conclusive dental trauma injury definition by using conventional exam. The lateral luxation injury was digitally reduced by insertion of tooth back to its alveolus, and at the same session, the tooth was stabilized with a rigid splint and further changed to a semi-rigid nylon splint. During the pulpal status monitoring, the pulp was diagnosed necrotic, then the root canal was treated to prevent root resorption. External office-bleaching and restorative procedure was performed. The 4-years follow up and new imaging exam and digital reconstruction confirmed bone healing and no complication. CBCT images analyzed by eVol DX can be used to determine and to guide lateral luxation treatment.

Abstract
The paper is a comprehensive but compact review of the literature on the state of illnesses of the human stomatognathic system, related consequences in the form of dental deficiencies, and the resulting need for prosthetic treatment. Types of prosthetic restorations, including implants, as well as new classes of implantable devices called implant-scaffolds with a porous part integrated with a solid core, as well as biological engineering materials with the use of living cells, have been characterized. A review of works on current trends in the technical development of dental prosthetics aiding, called Dentistry 4.0, analogous to the concept of the highest stage of Industry 4.0 of the industrial revolution, has been presented. Authors’ own augmented holistic model of Industry 4.0 has been developed and presented. The studies on the significance of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in planning prosthetic treatment, as well as in the design and manufacture of prosthetic restorations, have been described. The presented and fully digital approach is a radical turnaround in both clinical procedures and the technologies of implant preparation using computer-aided design and manufacturing methods (CAD/CAM) and additive manufacturing (AM) technologies, including selective laser sintering (SLS). The authors’ research illustrates the practical application of the Dentistry 4.0 approach for several types of prosthetic restorations. The development process of the modern approach is being observed all over the world. The use of the principles of the augmented holistic model of Industry 4.0 in advanced dental engineering indicates a change in the traditional relationship between a dentist and a dental engineer. The overall conclusion demonstrates that it is inevitable and extremely beneficial to implement the idea of Dentistry 4.0 following the assumptions of the authors’ own, holistic Industry 4.0 model.

Abstract
Purpose To determine in which clinical situations it is indicated or contra-indicated to prescribe cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) for paediatric patients. Methods Systematic review of in vivo paediatric research studies of diagnostic efficacy using CBCT, with supplementary searches for guideline documents on CBCT and for systematic reviews permitting inclusion of ex vivo and adult studies. Results After screening, 190 publications were included, mostly case studies. No systematic reviews were found of in vivo paediatric research. Fourteen studies of diagnostic efficacy were identified. The supplementary searches found 18 guideline documents relevant to the review and 26 systematic reviews. The diagnostic efficacy evidence on CBCT was diverse and often of limited quality. There was ex vivo evidence for diagnostic accuracy being greater using CBCT than radiographs for root fractures. The multiplanar capabilities of CBCT are advantageous when localising dental structures for surgical planning. Patient movement during scanning is more common in children which could reduce diagnostic efficacy. Conclusions No strong recommendations on CBCT are possible, except that it should not be used as a primary diagnostic tool for caries. Guidelines on use of CBCT in the paediatric age group should be developed cautiously, taking into account the greater radiation risk and the higher economic costs compared with radiography. CBCT should only be used when adequate conventional radiographic examination has not answered the question for which imaging was required. Clinical research in paediatric patients is required at the higher levels of diagnostic efficacy of CBCT. Electronic supplementary material The online version of this article (10.1007/s40368-019-00504-x) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

Abstract
Objective The aim of this study was to compare clinical, intra-surgical, 2D (panoramic) and 3D (CBCT)-based parameters in assessing molar furcation involvement (FI). Materials and Methods Six patients with generalized periodontitis Stage II to IV, Grade B and C who were scheduled for the periodontal flap surgical treatment were recruited in the study. In total, 38 molar teeth with 93 furcation sites were analysed. All subjects had comprehensive periodontal examination, which included an assessment of molar FI using Naber’s probe according to modified Glickman’s classification. Periodontal surgery was performed in patients with at least one maxillary molar with probing depth of ≥6 mm. This probing demonstrated lower grade of FI compared with intra-surgical findings. Results Periodontal probing, intra-surgical measurement and measurements based on CBCT significantly correlated with each other regarding the assessment of FI, with r values ranging between 0.81 to 1.00 (p<0.01). The correlation of panoramic radiograph with periodontal probing is 0.49, with CBCT 0.39 and with intra-surgical measurements 0.36. The results showed an excellent agreement and higher accuracy between intra-surgical measurements and CBCT (0.96), in contrast to clinical examination and panoramic radiography- 0.87 and 0.63 respectively. Different clinical and radiological modalities showed a correlation among each other. They are accurate and have their own benefits, which makes (renders) them useful in establishing periodontal diagnosis and treatment planning. Conclusion However, CBCT offers significant advantages including excellent agreement and higher accuracy and can be used as justified as excellent diagnostic tool in detecting and locating FI to provide a more reliable diagnosis and basis for treatment decisions.

Abstract
The goal of this paper was to review the current literature surrounding the use of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) related to the diagnosis, prognostic determination, and treatment of periodontal diseases. A literature review was completed to identify peer-reviewed articles related to CBCT and periodontics. The results were filtered to pool only articles specific to CBCT and periodontal diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment/outcomes. The articles were reviewed and findings summarized. Author’s commentary on technological advances and additional potential uses of CBCT in the field of periodontics were included. There is evidence to suggest that CBCT imaging can be more accurate in diagnosing specific periodontal defects (intrabony and furcation defects), and therefore be helpful in the prognostic determination and treatment planning. However, at this time, CBCT cannot be recommended as the standard of care. It is up to the individual clinician to use one’s own judgment as to when the additional information provided by CBCT may be beneficial, while applying the As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA) principle. With continued technological advances in CBCT imaging (higher resolution, reduced imaging artifacts, lower exposure, etc.) the author’s believe that CBCT usage will become more prominent in diagnosis and treatment of periodontal diseases.

Novel low-dose protocols using cone beam computed tomography in dental medicine: a review focusing on indications, limitations, and future possibilities. Clin Oral Investig 2019; 23:2573-2581.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES A narrative review on the potential use of low-dose protocols for cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) was conducted to identify indications and their relevance for various dental disciplines. MATERIALS AND METHODS Google Scholar was searched using the words "low-dose CBCT". Reviews, consensus papers, clinical studies, and experimental studies were eligible for the initial screening process, but for data extraction only original articles were selected. Similar search procedures were then performed with the additional search words "pedo," "ortho," "endo," "implant," "perio," and "oral surgery." Furthermore, references of included articles were examined to identify further relevant articles. RESULTS After screening, 27 publications remained for the data extraction process. Low-dose protocols have been reported for specialties such as pediatric dentistry (evaluating orofacial clefts, periapical lesions, impacted teeth, and autotransplantation), orthodontics (cephalometric analysis and interim assessment of treatment results), endodontics (detecting root fractures, resorptions and periapical bone loss), implant dentistry (planning implant insertion, evaluating peri-implant fenestration and dehiscence), periodontology (assessing periodontal structures), and oral and maxillofacial surgery (assessing mandibular third molars and TMJs). Nevertheless, most of the literature available is related to non-clinical studies. Furthermore, there is a lack of position statements or guidelines from authoritative bodies regarding the use of low-dose protocols in dental medicine. CONCLUSIONS Low-dose protocols for CBCT imaging seem to have potential in various disciplines in dental medicine ranging from pediatric dentistry to oral and maxillofacial surgery. Dose reduction is usually achieved by mAs reduction, use of partial rotations, reduced number of projections, and larger voxel sizes, but seldom by kV reduction. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Albeit low-dose protocols have potential to result in a reduction of dose exposure for 3D imaging due to dental indications, there is a need to more clearly specify indications and limitations to avoid indiscriminate use of standard and high-dose CBCT scans in the future on the lines of ALARA/ALADA principles.
