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.

Effects of Enamel Matrix Derivative on Cell Spheroids Made of Stem Cells Obtained from the Gingiva on Osteogenic Differentiation. MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2023; 59:medicina59020377. [PMID: 36837578 PMCID: PMC9960569 DOI: 10.3390/medicina59020377] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/01/2023] [Revised: 02/04/2023] [Accepted: 02/14/2023] [Indexed: 02/18/2023]
Abstract
Background and Objectives: A derivative of the enamel matrix was used to speed up periodontal regeneration, including the formation of new cementum, alveolar bone, and periodontal ligament. In this study, human gingiva-derived stem cell-derived cell spheroids were used to assess the effects of an enamel matrix derivative on cell viability, osteogenic differentiation, and mineralization. Materials and Methods: Human gingiva-derived stem cells were used to create spheroids, which were then coupled with unloaded control groups and an enamel matrix derivative at a final concentration of 2.7, 27, 270, and 2700 μg/mL. The morphological examination of the created stem cell spheroids took place on days 1, 3, 5, and 7. The Live/Dead Kit assay was used to determine the qualitative viability of cells on days 3 and 7. Using the Cell Counting Kit-8, the quantitative vitality of the cell spheroids was assessed on days 1, 3, and 5. On days 7 and 14, alkaline phosphatase activity assays and Alizarin Red S staining were carried out to examine the osteogenic differentiation of the cell spheroids. RUNX2 and COL1A1 expression levels on days 7 and 14 were determined using real-time polymerase chain reaction. Results: The added enamel matrix derivative at the tested concentrations did not significantly alter the morphology of the applied stem cells' well-formed spheroids on day 1. On days 3 and 7, the majority of the spheroids' cells fluoresced green while they were being cultivated. Alkaline phosphatase activity data revealed a substantial rise in the 2700 μg/mL group on day 7 when compared to the unloaded control (p < 0.05). On days 7 and 14, calcium deposits were distinctly seen in each group. In the 27 and 2700 μg/mL groups, the treatment with the enamel matrix derivative resulted in noticeably higher values for the Alizarin Red S staining (p < 0.05). qPCR results showed that adding an enamel matrix derivative to the culture of the 27 μg/mL group raised the level of RUNX2 mRNA expression. Conclusions: These results lead us to the conclusion that a derivative of the enamel matrix may be used to promote osteogenic differentiation in stem cell spheroids.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dental caries is the most common chronic disease in the US and disproportionately affects racial/ethnic minorities. Caries is heritable, and though genetic heterogeneity exists between ancestries for a substantial portion of loci associated with complex disease, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of caries specifically in African Americans has not been performed previously. METHODS We performed exploratory GWAS of dental caries in 109 African American adults (age > 18) and 96 children (age 3-12) from the Center for Oral Health Research in Appalachia (COHRA1 cohort). Caries phenotypes (DMFS, DMFT, dft, and dfs indices) assessed by dental exams were tested for association with 5 million genotyped or imputed single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), separately in the two age groups. The GWAS was performed using linear regression with adjustment for age, sex, and two principal components of ancestry. A maximum of 1 million adaptive permutations were run to determine empirical significance. RESULTS No loci met the threshold for genome-wide significance, though some of the strongest signals were near genes previously implicated in caries such as antimicrobial peptide DEFB1 (rs2515501; p = 4.54 × 10- 6) and TUFT1 (rs11805632; p = 5.15 × 10- 6). Effect estimates of lead SNPs at suggestive loci were compared between African Americans and Caucasians (adults N = 918; children N = 983). Significant (p < 5 × 10- 8) genetic heterogeneity for caries risk was found between racial groups for 50% of the suggestive loci in children, and 12-18% of the suggestive loci in adults. CONCLUSIONS The genetic heterogeneity results suggest that there may be differences in the contributions of genetic variants to caries across racial groups, and highlight the critical need for the inclusion of minorities in subsequent and larger genetic studies of caries in order to meet the goals of precision medicine and to reduce oral health disparities.

Abstract
RATIONALE The purpose of this report is to present a case of peri-implantitis with successful regeneration. The surface of the affected dental implant was decontaminated with an ultrasonic scaler and treated with bovine-derived hydroxyapatite and enamel matrix derivative. PATIENT CONCERNS A 52-year-old male was referred for evaluation of a dental implant placed in the mandibular right second premolar area. DIAGNOSIS The radiographic evaluation showed the loss of supporting bone around the dental implant. Bleeding upon probing and suppuration were observed, with the deepest probing depth at 6 mm. INTERVENTIONS The area was firstly treated with a nonsurgical approach. After re-evaluation, a full-thickness flap was elevated. The area was well debrided using various instruments, including curettes and an ultrasonic scaler. The defect area was grafted with bovine-derived hydroxyapatite and enamel matrix derivative. OUTCOMES Histopathologic evaluation revealed chronic inflammation with fibrosis and calcification. The evaluation at 2 years and 3 months after surgery showed that the prosthesis was functioning well. Bleeding upon probing and suppuration was not noted, and reduction of probing depth was seen, with the deepest depth at 4 mm. The area showed maintenance of graft material with increased radiopacity around the dental implant. LESSONS In conclusion, a case of peri-implantitis can be successfully treated with bovine-derived hydroxyapatite and enamel matrix derivative after surface decontamination with an ultrasonic scaler.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are emerging as important regulators of eukaryotic gene expression and have been shown to regulate various modular components of development and differentiation. However, the roles of lncRNAs in the regulation of osteogenic differentiation of human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) remain poorly understood. METHODS Expression patterns of lncRNA and messenger RNA (mRNA) during osteogenic differentiation were profiled using microarray analysis. Quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction was performed to validate the microarray data. Biologic functions of candidates were revealed by: 1) cluster analysis; 2) gene ontology (GO); and 3) pathway analysis. Coding-non-coding gene coexpression (CNC) networks were constructed to investigate potential regulatory roles of lncRNAs and osteogenesis-related mRNAs. RESULTS After osteoinduction, 3,557 mRNAs and 2,171 lncRNAs were differentially expressed, of which 994 lncRNAs were upregulated and 1,177 were downregulated (fold change >2.0 or <-2.0; P <0.05). Cluster analysis showed that lncRNAs and mRNAs from the experimental and control groups belonged to different clusters. GO analysis demonstrated that: 1) cellular process; 2) biologic regulation; and 3) regulation of biologic process were the most significant groups related to induction. Pathway analysis indicated that 83 pathways corresponded to differentially expressed mRNAs, including: 1) mitogen-activated protein kinase; 2) vascular endothelial growth factor; and 3) transforming growth factor-β signaling pathways. CNC network analysis indicated that 393 lncRNAs were closely related to osteogenesis-related mRNAs. CONCLUSIONS Expression profiles of lncRNAs and mRNAs were significantly altered during osteogenic differentiation of hPDLSCs. This result suggests that lncRNAs may play crucial roles in this process and could regulate mRNA expression.
