Full physicochemical and biocompatibility characterization of a supercritical CO 2 sterilized nano-hydroxyapatite/chitosan biodegradable scaffold for periodontal bone regeneration. BIOMATERIALS ADVANCES 2023; 146:213280. [PMID: 36682201 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioadv.2023.213280] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/07/2022] [Revised: 12/07/2022] [Accepted: 01/02/2023] [Indexed: 01/08/2023]
Abstract
Despite bone's innate self-renewal capability, some periodontal pathologic and traumatic defects' size inhibits full spontaneous regeneration. This current research characterized a 3D porous biodegradable nano-hydroxyapatite/chitosan (nHAp/CS, 70/30) scaffold for periodontal bone regeneration, which preparation method includes the final solvent extraction and sterilization through supercritical CO2 (scCO2). Micro-CT analysis revealed the fully interconnected porous microstructure of the nHAp/CS scaffold (total porosity 78 %, medium pore size 200 μm) which is critical for bone regeneration. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed HAp crystals forming on the surface of the nHAp/CS scaffold after 21 days in simulated body fluid, demonstrating its bioactivity in vitro. The presence of nHAp in the scaffolds promoted a significantly lower biodegradation rate compared to a plain CS scaffold in PBS. Dynamic mechanical analysis confirmed their viscoelasticity, but the presence of nHAp significantly enhanced the storage modulus (42.34 ± 6.09 kPa at 10 Hz after 28 days in PBS), showing that it may support bone ingrowth at low-load bearing bone defects. Both scaffold types significantly inhibited the growth, attachment and colony formation abilities of S. aureus and E. coli, enhancing the relevance of chitosan in the grafts' composition for the naturally contaminated oral environment. At SEM and laser scanning confocal microscopy, MG63 cells showed normal morphology and could adhere and proliferate inside the biomaterials' porous structure, especially for the nHAp/CS scaffold, reaching higher proliferative rate at day 14. MG63 cells seeded within nHAp/CS scaffolds presented a higher expression of RUNX2, collagen A1 and Sp7 osteogenic genes compared to the CS samples. The in vivo subcutaneous implantation in mice of both scaffold types showed lower biodegradability with the preservation of the scaffolds porous structure that allowed the ingrowth of connective tissue until 5 weeks. Histology shows an intensive and progressive ingrowth of new vessels and collagen between the 3rd and the 5th week, especially for the nHAp/CS scaffold. So far, the scCO2 method enabled the production of a cost-effective and environment-friendly ready-to-use nHAp/CS scaffold with microstructural, chemical, mechanical and biocompatibility features that make it a suitable bone graft alternative for defect sites in an adverse environment as in periodontitis and peri-implantitis.

Periodontal Therapy Using Bioactive Glasses: A Review. PROSTHESIS 2022. [DOI: 10.3390/prosthesis4040052] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/11/2022]
Abstract
This paper reviews the use of bioactive glasses as materials for periodontal repair. Periodontal disease causes bone loss, resulting in tooth loosening and eventual tooth loss. However, it can be reversed using bioactive glass, typically the original 45S5 formulation (Bioglass®) at the defect site. This is done either by plcing bioactive glass granules or a bioactive glass putty at the defect. This stimulates bone repair and causes the defect to disappear. Another use of bioactive glass in periodontics is to repair so-called furcation defects, i.e., bone loss due to infection at the intersection of the roots in multi-rooted teeth. This treatment also gives good clinical outcomes. Finally, bioactive glass has been used to improve outcomes with metallic implants. This involves either placing bioactive glass granules into the defect prior to inserting the metal implant, or coating the implant with bioactive glass to improve the likelihood of osseointegration. This needs the glass to be formulated so that it does not crack or debond from the metal. This approach has been very successful, and bioactive glass coatings perform better than those made from hydroxyapatite.

Evaluation of platelet-rich fibrin and tricalcium phosphate bone graft in bone fill of intrabony defects using cone-beam computed tomography: A randomized clinical trial. J Indian Soc Periodontol 2021; 25:138-143. [PMID: 33888946 PMCID: PMC8041083 DOI: 10.4103/jisp.jisp_621_19] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2019] [Revised: 05/29/2020] [Accepted: 07/16/2020] [Indexed: 01/01/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is the second-generation platelet concentrate first described by Choukron et al. It incorporates leukocytes, platelets, and growth factors within dense fibrin matrix, can be used in periodontal regeneration alone or in combination with bone grafts. AIM This study assesses bone fill in intrabony defects, following the use of β tricalcium phosphate (TCP) bone graft with and without PRF. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty sites with intrabony defects in periodontitis patients were selected, randomly allotted into three groups: Group A open flap debridement (OFD), Group B OFD with β TCP with PRF, and Group C β TCP. Clinical parameters such as plaque index, gingival index, sulcus bleeding index, and PPD recorded at baseline and 6 months. Radiographic parameters include cementoenamel junction (CEJ) to base of defect, CEJ to alveolar crest, depth of defect, and bone fill assessed using the cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). The comparison between the test group and control group in terms of clinical and radiographical parameters was assessed using the independent sample t-test. RESULTS Significant reduction in probing depth measurements, defect fill observed in both β TCP with PRF and β TCP alone groups compared to OFD. However, intergroup comparison assessed using the independent sample t-test found to be statistically nonsignificant (P < 0.05 is considered significant). CONCLUSION All three treatment strategies resulted in significant reduction in probing depth and bone fill at 6 months. Bone fill achieved in β TCP with PRF was more compared to β TCP alone and OFD at 6 months follow-up. CBCT can be accurately used to assess the morphology of intrabony defect and also in evaluating bone fill.

Abstract
No current therapy promotes root canal disinfection and regeneration of the pulp-dentin complex in cases of pulp necrosis. Antibiotic pastes used to eradicate canal infection negatively affect stem cell survival. Three-dimensional easy-to-fit antibiotic-eluting nanofibers, combined with injectable scaffolds, enriched or not with stem cells and/or growth factors, may increase the likelihood of achieving predictable dental pulp regeneration. Periodontitis is an aggressive disease that impairs the integrity of tooth-supporting structures and may lead to tooth loss. The latest advances in membrane biomodification to endow needed functionalities and technologies to engineer patient-specific membranes/constructs to amplify periodontal regeneration are presented.
