Comparison of bioactive material failure rates in vital pulp treatment of permanent matured teeth - a systematic review and network meta-analysis. Sci Rep 2024; 14:18421. [PMID: 39117767 PMCID: PMC11310317 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-69367-7] [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: 06/14/2024] [Accepted: 08/05/2024] [Indexed: 08/10/2024] Open
Abstract
Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) is the gold standard for vital pulp treatment (VPT), but its superiority over novel calcium silicate-based cements in permanent teeth lacks systematic evidence. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of these materials in VPT through a network meta-analysis. A systematic search was conducted in MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science until January 20, 2024. The inclusion criteria were randomized controlled trials involving VPT with biomaterials and reversible or irreversible pulpitis diagnoses in mature permanent teeth. The primary outcome was the odds ratio (OR) of failure rates with 95% confidence intervals. In the 21 eligible trials, failure rates were significantly higher with calcium-hydroxide than MTA at six (OR 2.26 [1.52-3.36]), 12 (OR 2.53 [1.76-3.62]), and 24 months (OR 2.46 [1.60-3.79]). Failure rates for Totalfill at six (OR 1.19 [0.55-2.58]) and 12 months (OR 1.43 [0.71-2.92]), and Biodentine at six (OR 1.09 [0.66-1.78]), 12 (OR 1.21 [0.74-1.96]), and 24 months (OR 1.47 [0.81-2.68]) were not significantly different from MTA. The results were similar in the direct pulp capping subgroup, whereas, in the partial and full pulpotomy subgroup, there was not enough evidence to achieve significant differences. MTA, Biodentine, and Totalfill are the most efficient materials for VPT. However, calcium-hydroxide-based materials are not recommended in VPT.

BMC Oral Health 2024; 24:42.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Incisal composite build-up shows a high failure susceptibility. The incorporation of fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) during composite restoration could improve its strength. Hence the study was planned to compare the effect of various positions of FRC on the strength of composite resin incisal build-ups. METHODS In maxillary incisors (n = 90), 3 mm of the incisal edge was cut and teeth were categorized into three groups based on the location and number of fibers used during incisal composite build-up - Group I: composite resin; Group II: composite resin and a single fiber palatally and Group III: composite resin along with two fibers palatally. RESULTS The data showed that group II had the maximum load-bearing values followed by group I and group III. CONCLUSION Within the confines of our study, it can be concluded that the addition of FRC to the conventional incisal composite build-up increased the overall strength restoration. Such composite restoration reinforced with a single fiber on the palatal side showed the highest load-bearing capacity compared to two fibers reinforced and unreinforced composites. The common mode of failure in group I was in composite resin, in two fibers reinforced at fibers-composite junction, and in one fiber reinforced composite was in the remaining part of the tooth.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pulp inflammation is complex interactions between different types of cells and cytokines. To mimic the interactions of different types of cells in inflamed dental pulp tissues, dental pulp cells (DPCs) were cocultured with different ratios of macrophages (THP-1) or LPS treatment. METHODS DPCs were cocultured with various ratios of THP-1, then photographed cell morphology and determined cell viability by MTT assay at preset times. Total RNA was also extracted to measure the inflammation marker-IL-6 and IL-8 expressions by RT-Q-PCR. The DPCs and THP-1 were treated with 0.01 - 1μg/ml lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and extract RNA at preset times, and detected IL-6 and IL-8 expression. DPCs were cocultured with various ratios of THP-1 with 0.1 μg/mL LPS, and detected IL-6 and IL-8 expression after 24 and 48 h. The data were analyzed by unpaired t-test or Mann-Whitney test. Differences were considered statistically significant when p < 0.05. RESULTS THP-1 and DPCs coculture models did not suppress the viability of DPCs and THP-1. Cocultured with various ratios of THP-1 could increase IL-6 and IL-8 expressions of DPCs (p = 0.0056 - p < 0.0001). The expressions of IL-6 and IL-8 were stronger in higher ratio groups (p = 0.0062 - p < 0.0001). LPS treatment also induced IL-6 and IL-8 expressions of DPCs and THP-1 (p = 0.0179 - p < 0.0001 and p = 0.0189 - p < 0.0001, separately). Under the presence of 0.1 μg/mL LPS, DPCs cocultured with THP-1 for 24 h also enhanced IL-6 and IL-8 expression (p = 0.0022). After cocultured with a higher ratio of THP-1 for 48 h, IL-6 and IL-8 expressions were even stronger in the presence of LPS (p = 0.0260). CONCLUSIONS Coculturing dental pulp cells and macrophages under LPS treatment aggravate the inflammatory process. The responses of our models were more severe than traditional inflamed dental models and better represented what happened in the real dental pulp. Utilizing our models to explore the repair and regeneration in endodontics will be future goals.

Cytotoxicity, Differentiation, and Biocompatibility of Root-End Filling: A Comprehensive Study. Biomimetics (Basel) 2023; 8:514. [PMID: 37999155 PMCID: PMC10669418 DOI: 10.3390/biomimetics8070514] [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: 09/20/2023] [Revised: 10/11/2023] [Accepted: 10/26/2023] [Indexed: 11/25/2023] Open
Abstract
Assessing the biocompatibility of endodontic root-end filling materials through cell line responses is both essential and of utmost importance. This study aimed to the cytotoxicity of the type of cell death through apoptosis and autophagy, and odontoblast cell-like differentiation effects of MTA, zinc oxide-eugenol, and two experimental Portland cements modified with bismuth (Portland Bi) and barium (Portland Ba) on primary cell cultures. Material and methods: The cells corresponded to human periodontal ligament and gingival fibroblasts (HPLF, HGF), human pulp cells (HPC), and human squamous carcinoma cells from three different patients (HSC-2, -3, -4). The cements were inoculcated in different concentrations for cytotoxicity evaluation, DNA fragmentation in electrophoresis, apoptosis caspase activation, and autophagy antigen reaction, odontoblast-like cells were differentiated and tested for mineral deposition. The data were subject to a non-parametric test. Results: All cements caused a dose-dependent reduction in cell viability. Contact with zinc oxide-eugenol induced neither DNA fragmentation nor apoptotic caspase-3 activation and autophagy inhibitors (3-methyladenine, bafilomycin). Portland Bi accelerated significantly (p < 0.05) the differentiation of odontoblast-like cells. Within the limitation of this study, it was concluded that Portland cement with bismuth exhibits cytocompatibility and promotes odontoblast-like cell differentiation. This research contributes valuable insights into biocompatibility, suggesting its potential use in endodontic repair and biomimetic remineralization.

Abstract
Damaged cells that appear as a consequence of invasive dental procedures or in response to dental materials are supposed to release damage-associated signals. These damage-associated signals not only support tissue regeneration but might also contribute to unwanted fibrosis. The aim of this study was to identify a molecular target that reflects how fibroblasts respond to necrotic oral tissue cells. To simulate the cell damage, we prepared necrotic cell lysates by sonication of the osteocytic cell line IDG-SW3 and exposed them to gingival fibroblasts. RNAseq revealed a moderate increase in IL11 expression in the gingival fibroblasts, a pleiotropic cytokine involved in fibrosis and inflammation, and also in regeneration following trauma. Necrotic lysates of the human squamous carcinoma cell lines HSC2 and TR146, as well as of gingival fibroblasts, however, caused a robust increase in IL11 expression in the gingival fibroblasts. Consistently, immunoassay revealed significantly increased IL11 levels in the gingival fibroblasts when exposed to the respective lysates. Considering that IL11 is a TGF-β target gene, IL11 expression was partially blocked by SB431542, a TGF-β receptor type I kinase inhibitor. Moreover, lysates from the HSC2, TR146, and gingival fibroblasts caused a moderate smad2/3 nuclear translocation in the gingival fibroblasts. Taken together and based on IL11 expression, our findings show that fibroblasts are sensitive to damaged oral tissue cells.

Abstract
AIMS The present study investigated the effect of rapamycin on the viability and osteogenic differentiation potential of human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) in the presence of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl). MAIN METHODS After determining the minimum inhibitory concentration of NaOCl and optimum concentration of rapamycin, the viability of hPDLSCs was evaluated using the MTT assay subsequent to their exposure to NaOCl, rapamycin, or a combination of both. Osteogenic differentiation was evaluated by the cell mineralization assay performed by alizarin red S staining, alkaline phosphatase activity, and monitoring the expression of osteogenic genes markers Runt-related transcription factor 2, osteocalcin, and osteoprotegerin, using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). The expression of autophagy-related genes PI3K, Akt, and mTOR, was also analyzed with RT-qPCR. KEY FINDINGS Stem cells treated with rapamycin showed the highest percentage of viable cells in the presence of NaOCl. The same trend was observed for all osteogenic differentiation assays. The hPDLSCs treated with rapamycin demonstrated the highest calcium nodule deposition, alkaline phosphatase activity, and the expression of osteogenic gene markers. These effects were not adversely affected by the presence of NaOCl. Rapamycin significantly inhibited mTOR gene expression, while there were no differences in the gene expression of PI3K and Akt. SIGNIFICANCE Rapamycin counteracts the cytotoxic effect of NaOCl by enhancing the viability and osteogenic differentiation potential of hPDLSCs. Rapamycin appears to accomplish these processes via autophagy activation, by inhibiting mTOR gene expression. The incorporation of rapamycin in regenerative endodontic therapy may encourage a higher success rate.

Abstract
According to contemporary dental standards, the primary goal of endodontic therapy is the chemo-mechanical cleaning of the complex root canal system. Watering root canals with approved solutions and activating them are essential parts of this operation. This review outlines various irrigant activation methods for root canal therapy. Specifically, a comparison among the methods of manual dynamic activation, sonics (subsonic, sonic, and ultrasonic), internal heating, and lasers, was conducted. The results in this work were gathered using Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and PubMed databases by searching the following keywords: sodium hypochlorite, cleaning, activation, and irrigation methods. The present work concluded that the use of irrigant activation has a greater benefit than its absence. Regardless, it is impossible to point to a single effective activation method.

Abstract
The development of biomaterials that are able to control the release of bioactive molecules is a challenging task for regenerative dentistry. This study aimed to enhance resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC) for the release of epidermal growth factor (EGF). This RMGIC was formulated from RMGIC powder supplemented with 15% (w/w) chitosan at a molecular weight of either 62 or 545 kDa with 5% bovine serum albumin mixed with the same liquid component as the Vitrebond. EGF was added while mixing. ELISA was used to determine EGF release from the specimen immersed in phosphate-buffered saline at 1 h, 3 h, 24 h, 3 d, 1 wk, 2 wks, and 3 wks. Fluoride and aluminum release at 1, 3, 5, and 7 d was measured by electrode and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry. Pulp cell viability was examined through MTT assays and the counting of cell numbers using a Coulter counter. The RMGIC with 65 kDa chitosan is able to prolong the release of EGF for significantly longer than RMGIC for at least 3 wks due to its retained bioactivity in promoting pulp cell proliferation. This modified RMGIC can prolong the release of fluoride, with a small amount of aluminum also released for a limited time. This biomaterial could be useful in regenerating pulp-dentin complexes.

Abstract
Biomimetics is a branch of science that explores the technical beauty of nature. The concept of biomimetics has been brilliantly applied in famous applications such as the design of the Eiffel Tower that has been inspired from the trabecular structure of bone. In dentistry, the purpose of using biomimetic concepts and protocols is to conserve tooth structure and vitality, increase the longevity of restorative dental treatments, and eliminate future retreatment cycles. Biomimetic dental materials are inherently biocompatible with excellent physico-chemical properties. They have been successfully applied in different dental fields with the advantages of enhanced strength, sealing, regenerative and antibacterial abilities. Moreover, many biomimetic materials were proven to overcome significant limitations of earlier available generation counterpart. Therefore, this review aims to spot the light on some recent developments in the emerging field of biomimetics especially in restorative and regenerative dentistry. Different approaches of restoration, remineralisation and regeneration of teeth are also discussed in this review. In addition, various biomimetic dental restorative materials and tissue engineering materials are discussed.
