RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the regenerative capacities of octacalcium phosphate collagen composite (OCP/Col) in one-wall intrabony defects in dogs. The background data discuss the present state of the field: No study has assessed the efficacy of OCP/Col for periodontal regeneration therapy despite the fact that OCP/Col has proved to be efficient for bone regeneration. METHODS: In six beagle dogs, the mandibular left third premolars were extracted 12 weeks before the experimental surgery. Standardized bone defects (5 mm in height and 4 mm in width) were simulated on the distal surface of the second premolars and mesially on the fourth premolars. The defect was filled with either OCP/Col (experimental group) or left empty (control group). Histological and histomorphometric characteristics were compared 8 weeks after surgery. RESULTS: No infectious or ankylotic complications were detected at any of the tested sites. The experimental group exhibited a significantly greater volume, height, and area of newly formed bone than the control group. The former also showed a greater height of the newly formed cementum than the latter, although the results were not statistically significant. The newly formed periodontal ligaments were inserted into newly formed bone and cementum in the experimental group. CONCLUSION: OCP/Col demonstrated high efficacy for bone and periodontal tissue regeneration that can be successfully applied for one-wall intrabony defects.

OBJECTIVES: To compare early implant placement (EP) to alveolar ridge preservation and delayed implant placement (ARP/DP) in terms of contour changes, along with clinician- and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) until the delivery of the implant-supported restoration. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patients with a failing single tooth in the maxilla or mandible were recruited in two centres. After tooth extraction, patients were randomly assigned (1:1) to either EP or ARP/DP. At abutment connection and crown delivery, the buccal contour changes at 3 mm below the mucosal margin (primary outcome) along with clinician- (ease of treatment) and patient-reported outcomes were assessed using numeric rating scales and OHIP-14. RESULTS: A total of 46 patients were analysed. The mean buccal contour at abutment connection decreased by -1.2 ± 0.6 mm in group EP and -1.6 ± 0.8 mm in group ARP/DP (estimated mean difference; 0.45 [95%CI, -0.02; 0.94]; p = .061) with no significant differences between the groups. ARP/DP was consistently easier than EP across all stages of the surgery (estimated mean difference; 2.0 [95%CI, 1.3; 2.7] p < .001): during flap elevation (EP: 4.8 vs. ARP/DP: 1.6), implant placement (EP: 5.7 vs. ARP/DP: 2.2) and wound closure (EP: 3.4 vs. ARP/DP: 1.6). Both interventions improved quality of life but patients who underwent ARP/DP were significantly more satisfied at the time of crown delivery (ARP/DP: 9.6 vs. EP: 9.1, p = .02). CONCLUSIONS: EP and ARP/DP show no significant differences in buccal contour changes, aesthetics and patient-reported outcomes. However, ARP/DP is an easier procedure at all stages of the surgery compared to EP and could therefore be the preferred therapy for less experienced clinicians.
RESUMO
AIM: The purpose of this study was to elucidate the suppressive effect of high-frequency pulsed diode laser irradiation on bone resorption and its biological effects on gene expression and microbiome composition on the gingival tissue in ligature-induced periodontitis in mice. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Ligating ligature around the teeth and/or laser irradiation was performed on the gingival tissue in mice as follows: Co (no ligature and no laser irradiation), Li (ligation without laser irradiation), La (no ligature but with laser irradiation), and LiLa (ligation with laser irradiation). Bone resorption was evaluated using micro-computed tomography. RNA-seq analysis was performed on gingival tissues of all four groups at 3 days after ligation. The differences in microbial composition between Li and LiLa were evaluated based on the number of 16S rRNA gene sequences. RESULTS: Bone resorption caused by ligation was significantly suppressed by laser irradiation. RNA-seq in Co and La gingival tissue revealed many differentially expressed genes, suggesting diode laser irradiation altered gene expression. Gene set enrichment analysis revealed mTORC1 signalling and E2F target gene sets were enriched in gingival tissues both in La and LiLa compared with that in Co and Li, respectively. The amount of extracted DNA from ligatures was reduced by laser irradiation, and bacterial network structure was altered between the Li and LiLa. CONCLUSIONS: High-frequency pulsed diode laser irradiation showed biological effects and suppressed bone resorption in ligature-induced periodontitis.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Following tooth extraction, bone resorption is especially severe in cases complicated with buccal dehiscence bone defects. To minimize this, various bone graft materials have been used for alveolar ridge preservation. This study aimed to evaluate additional effects of the concomitant use of recombinant human fibroblast growth factor-2 (rhFGF-2) with ß-tricalcium phosphate (ß-TCP) on ridge preservation in a dehiscence defect model after tooth extraction in dogs. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The maxillary first premolars of six beagle dogs were extracted and dehiscence defects of 4 × 4 × 5 mm (mesio-distal width × bucco-palatal width × depth) were created. Bilateral defects were filled with ß-TCP combined with 0.3% (w/v) rhFGF-2 (test sites) or the scaffold alone (control sites). Twelve weeks post-surgery, histologic and histometric evaluations were performed. RESULTS: Morphological measurements using micro-computed tomography revealed a significantly greater bone volume at the test sites (48.9 ± 9.06 mm3 ) than at the control sites (38.8 ± 7.24 mm3 ). Horizontal widths of the alveolar ridge at the coronal and middle position at the test sites (2.18 ± 0.71 mm, 2.93 ± 0.53 mm) were significantly greater than those at the control sites (1.47 ± 0.41 mm, 2.36 ± 0.45 mm, respectively). Regarding the histological parameters, the occupation rate of mineralized bone in the original defects was slightly higher at the test sites (44.07 ± 10.19%) than that at the control site (41.15 ± 6.56%). CONCLUSIONS: These results indicate that the adjunct use of rhFGF-2 with ß-TCP is effective for alveolar ridge preservation in fresh extraction sockets with dehiscence defects.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: It is well known that recombinant human fibroblast growth factor-2 (rhFGF-2) signaling plays an important role in tissue repair and regeneration. rhFGF-2 strongly binds to acidic gelatin via ionic linkages and is gradually released upon gelatin decomposition. On the other hand, the linkage between rhFGF-2 and basic gelatin is so weak that most rhFGF-2 is rapidly released from basic gelatin by simple desorption. Gelatin/ß-tricalcium phosphate (ß-TCP) sponges, which comprise 50 wt% gelatin and 50 wt% ß-TCP in a cross-linked structure, can release rhFGF-2 gradually owing to their electrical features. In a previous study, we reported that new bone height in the test group using rhFGF-2 with acidic gelatin/ß-TCP sponges was significantly greater than that in the control group using acidic gelatin/ß-TCP sponges alone in a ridge augmentation model in dogs. However, whether these results depend on controlled release by the gelatin/ß-TCP sponges remains controversial. In this study, we evaluated the effects of controlled release by comparing acidic and basic gelatin/ß-TCP sponges with different isoelectric points (IEP) on ridge augmentation in dogs. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twelve weeks after extraction of the maxillary second and third incisors of six dogs, critically sized saddle-type defects (8 mm length × 4 mm depth) were surgically created bilaterally 2 mm from the mesial side of the canine. Acidic gelatin/ß-TCP sponges (IEP 5.0) soaked with 0.3% rhFGF-2 were applied to the defect in the acidic group, whereas basic gelatin/ß-TCP sponges (IEP 9.0) soaked with 0.3% rhFGF-2 were applied to the defect in the basic group. Twelve weeks after surgery, biopsy specimens were obtained and subjected to microcomputed tomography (micro-CT) and histological analyses. RESULTS: New bone area detected by micro-CT analysis was significantly smaller in the basic group than in the acidic group. New bone height calculated by histologic sections was significantly lower in the basic group than in the acidic group. The total tissue height was lower in the basic group than in the acidic group. However, the differences between both sites were not significant. CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that in ridge augmentation of saddle-type defects, controlled release of rhFGF-2 induces notably more alveolar bone formation than does short-term application of rhFGF-2.

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effect of enamel matrix derivative in liquid form (EMD-liquid) as adjunct to grafting with natural bovine bone (NBB), on new bone formation and osseointegration in buccal dehiscence defects at dental implants. MATERIAL AND METHODS: In six beagles, 3 months after extraction of the mandibular premolars and first molars. Three titanium implants (3.3 Ø × 8.0 mm) were inserted, and dehiscence-type defects (mesiodistal width 3 mm × 5 mm depth) were created on their buccal aspect. The defects were randomly assigned to one of the following three treatment groups: Group 1: NBB, Group 2: NBB/EMD-L, Group 3: Control. All sites were covered with a collagen membrane. Histomorphometric measurements were performed after 3 months of healing. RESULTS: New bone area, bone-to-implant contact (BIC), and first BIC (fBIC) in the NBB and NBB/EMD-L groups were significantly greater than in the control group (p < .05). Further, f-BIC was at a significantly more coronal position in the NBB + EMD-liquid group (0.4 ± 0.1 mm) compared with the NBB group (1.2 ± 0.2 mm). CONCLUSIONS: Natural bovine bone grafting enhances bone regeneration and osseointegration at implants with buccal bone dehiscences compared with no grafting, and adjunct use of EMD-liquid appears to further enhance bone formation and osseointegration.

The histological outcomes after nonsurgical periodontal treatment with enamel matrix derivatives (EMD) remain controversial. The present study evaluated periodontal wound healing after scaling and root planing (SRP) with subgingival application of EMD for treatment of experimental periodontitis. Periodontal breakdown was induced by applying silk ligatures around mandibular third and fourth premolars of six beagle dogs until radiographic bone loss progressed to approximately half of the root length. Probing pocket depth (PPD) and clinical attachment level (CAL) were proximally measured 2 weeks after ligature removal (baseline). Mesial and distal surfaces of the experimental teeth were subjected to SRP and randomized using a split-mouth design to subgingival application of EMD (test) or normal saline (control). PPD and CAL were re-evaluated at 11 weeks. Animals were sacrificed at 12 weeks for histological analyses. No significant differences were observed in PPD and CAL between both groups at baseline and at 11 weeks. Histologically, test sites exhibited a greater amount of new cementum than that did the control sites (p < 0.01). Moreover, the control sites revealed increased epithelial downgrowth compared with the test sites: (p < 0.05). On the other hand, no intergroup differences were detected in terms of bone position, connective tissue attachment, gingival recession, and planed root length. This study suggested that EMD has an increased potential to support formation of new cementum with decreased epithelial downgrowth when used as an adjunct to nonsurgical periodontal treatment.

Achieving optimal implant prosthodontic outcomes in the esthetically demanding anterior region requires sufficient hard and soft tissue volume to provide adequate support and coverage to ensure that the implant restorations are functional and yield predictable, long-lasting treatment results. A comprehensive biologic understanding of the 3D relationships between hard and soft tissue is crucial when treating esthetically demanding areas. Various techniques, notably guided bone regeneration, have been developed and are well documented as being reliable methods for larger 3D bone augmentation procedures. Additionally, dental modification and tooth repositioning in proximity to prospective implant placement sites has been extensively discussed. Recently, orthodontic extrusion with deferred extraction has emerged as a predictable treatment strategy for gaining additional vertical hard and soft tissue. Implementing treatment sequences and the timing of combined treatment methodologies have also been subjects of discussion. Combining orthodontic treatment with staged or delayed tooth extractions has been shown to be beneficial in providing the necessary osseous foundation for implant sites that may not be as amenable to more conventional augmentation techniques. These augmentation techniques and treatment methods require adequately stable and predictable periodontal health since uncontrolled periodontal disease poses a significant challenge and is detrimental to successful outcomes. The purpose of the present clinical report is to demonstrate the staging and sequencing of vertical hard and soft tissue management techniques for a severe anterior periodontal defect to achieve an esthetically functional implant treatment result.

The aim of the present clinical report is to introduce a novel surgical procedure, the 'Apical Tooth Replantation with Surgical Intrusion Technique' (ATR-SIT) for managing teeth with hopeless prognosis compromised with a severe endodontal-periodontal lesion, pathologic tooth migration, and gingival recession. Two cases are presented managing teeth diagnosed with a hopeless prognosis. ATR-SIT involves tooth extraction, extra-oral root debridement, root surface conditioning, apicectomy, retrograde filling and the application of enamel matrix derivatives prior to reimplantation. Following reimplantation, the teeth are covered with a combination of autogenous bone chips and bone substitute materials, covered with resorbable membranes. Following ATR-SIT, the patients received either orthodontic treatment or tooth-supported fixed dental prostheses. The described ATR-SIT effectively improved the initially hopeless prognosis of the teeth and maintained periodontal health over time, evidenced by favourable clinical and radiographic outcomes. ATR-SIT might be a potential alternative to tooth extraction of hopeless teeth in patients with stage IV periodontitis.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVES: To assess both the radiographic and profilometric outcomes of early implant placement with or without alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) (using two different ARP techniques) after 1 year of loading. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Seventy-five patients with a failing single tooth in the anterior maxilla were randomly allocated to three groups (1:1:1): (a) ARP using demineralized bovine bone mineral containing 10% collagen (DBBM-C) covered by a collagen matrix (CM), (b) ARP using DBBM-C covered with a palatal graft (PG), and (c) unassisted socket healing (control). Eight weeks after tooth extraction, early implant placement was performed in all patients. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and impressions were taken 8 weeks after tooth extraction (ARP/unassisted healing) prior to implant placement and 1-year post-loading. Radiographic and profilometric outcomes were evaluated. RESULTS: Out of the 70 patients available for re-examination at 1-year post-loading, 55 datasets could be assessed (ARP-CM 19; ARP-PG 17; Control 19). The need for additional guided bone regeneration (GBR) at implant placement amounted to 31.6% (ARP-CM), 29.4% (ARP-PG), and 68.4% (unassisted healing). Adjusted models revealed that residual buccal bone height and additional GBR at implant placement significantly influenced the magnitude of the alveolar changes at 1 year (p < 0.05). In patients with ARP (group ARP-CM or ARP-PG) without additional GBR, the presence of bone convexity amounted to 36.0% (9/25) at 1-year post-loading. For patients that received ARP and additional GBR at implant placement, the frequency of bone convexity increased to 72.7% (8/11) (p = 0.042). Regarding profilometric measurements, a tendency toward agreement with radiographic outcomes was observed. CONCLUSIONS: Early implant placement with ARP can attenuate alveolar ridge changes at 1-year post loading by minimizing both radiographic and profilometric alterations. However, early implant placement with simultaneous GBR consistently yields superior radiographic and profilometric outcomes, regardless of whether ARP is performed.

Introduction: Carbonated apatite (CO3Ap) has unique properties as an alloplastic bone substitute and has been reported the safety and efficacy for bone regeneration. However, no previous studies reported the clinical application of CO3Ap for periodontal regeneration therapy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of periodontal regeneration with CO3Ap in treating intrabony defects, Class II and Class III furcation involvement (FI). Methods: A single-arm and single-center prospective pilot clinical study was performed to verify the safety and efficacy of CO3Ap in patients with periodontitis. A total of four patients with seven teeth, including three deep intrabony defects, two Class II FI, and two Class III FI, were treated with CO3Ap. The clinical parameters, including probing pocket depth (PPD), clinical attachment level (CAL), bleeding on probing (BOP), tooth mobility (Mo), Plaque index (PI), and Gingival index (GI) were evaluated at baseline, 6 months, and 9 months after the surgery. Radiographic analysis was conducted on images of dental X-ray and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) at baseline and 9 months post-surgery. Results: The postoperative healing in all cases was uneventful, with no abnormal bleeding, pain, or swelling. The mean PPD reduction and CAL gain were 5.0 ± 1.0 mm, 4.5 ± 0.7 mm, 1.5 ± 0.7 mm, and 4.7 ± 1.2 mm, 4.5 ± 0.7 mm, 0.0 mm for intrabony defect, Class II and Class III FI, respectively. According to radiographic analysis, linear bone height in intrabony defects and vertical subclassification of FI in Class II FI were improved. Conclusions: The clinical application of CO3Ap for the treatment of intrabony defects and Class II FI could be effective for periodontal regeneration, although its efficacy in treating Class III FI might be limited. Despite the limitations of this study, the findings in this study suggested that CO3Ap has the potential to be a promising bone graft substitute for periodontal regeneration.
RESUMO
Objective: This study aimed to histologically compare periodontal regeneration of one-wall intrabony defects treated with open flap debridement, ß-tricalcium phosphate (ß-TCP), and carbonate apatite (CO3Ap) in dogs. Methods: The mandibular third premolars of four beagle dogs were extracted. Twelve weeks after the extraction, a one-wall bone defect of 4 mm × 5 mm (mesio-distal width × depth) was created on the distal side of the mandibular second premolar and mesial side of the fourth premolar. Each defect was randomly allocated to open flap debridement (control group), periodontal regeneration utilizing ß-TCP, or CO3Ap. Eight weeks after the surgery, histologic and histometric analyses were performed. Results: No ankylosis, infection, or acute inflammation was observed at any of the experimental sites. Newly formed bone and cementum were observed in all experimental groups. The mineral apposition rate of the alveolar bone crest was higher in the CO3Ap group than in the control and ß-TCP groups. The ratio of the new bone area was significantly higher in the CO3Ap group than in the control group (P < 0.05). The bone contact percentage of the residual granules was significantly higher in the CO3Ap group than in the ß-TCP group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Although this study has limitations, the findings revealed the safety and efficacy of CO3Ap for periodontal regeneration in one-wall intrabony defects in dogs, and CO3Ap has a better ability to integrate with bone than ß-TCP.
RESUMO
PURPOSE: We aimed to histologically evaluate the influence of bone materials used during guided bone regeneration (GBR) on subsequent peri-implantitis in an experimental ligature-induced peri-implantitis model in beagle dogs. METHODS: Bilateral mandibular premolars (PM2-4) were extracted from six beagle dogs. After 3 months, standardized bone defects (3 mm [mesio-distal width] × 2 mm [bucco-lingual width] × 3 mm [depth]) were created in the experimental group, with simultaneous dental implant placement at the center of the defects. The defects were randomly filled with either autograft (AG) or deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM) and covered with a collagen membrane. In the control group, implant fixtures were placed without creating an intrabony defect. After 3 months, a healing abutment was placed. Four weeks later, a 3-0 silk thread was ligated around the implants to induce peri-implantitis. After 4 weeks, the specimens were dissected and histologically examined. RESULTS: There were no clinical findings of inflammation until silk thread ligation. Four weeks after the onset of peri-implantitis, gingival redness and swelling were seen with mild resorption of the peri-implant bone on dental radiographs. There were no significant differences between the AG, DBBM, and control groups for the following parameters: bone-to-implant contact, distance from the implant shoulder to the base of the bone defect, area of bone defect, and area of new bone. CONCLUSIONS: Within the limitations of this study, it can be concluded that peri-implant tissues after GBR using AG and DBBM underwent the same degree of bone resorption by peri-implantitis as the no defect group.

Introduction: Fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) has been reported to promote periodontal tissue regeneration. However, no study has investigated the long-term prognosis of periodontal regenerative therapy using FGF-2 to date. The aim of this study was to observe the long-term outcomes as well as to investigate the factors affecting the prognosis of periodontal regenerative therapy using FGF-2. Methods: Sixty intrabony defects were prospectively investigated for three years after periodontal regenerative therapy with recombinant human FGF-2 (rhFGF-2) by evaluating probing pocket depth (PPD) and radiographic bone defect depth (RBD). The factors influencing RBD were assessed by conducting a multivariate linear regression analysis after adjusting for confounders. Results: The mean age of the participants was 62.4 ± 13.4 years, and baseline PPD and RBD were 6.1 ± 1.9 mm and 4.5 ± 1.8 mm, respectively. At six months, one year, and three years after surgery, PPD and RBD had significantly improved to 4.2 ± 1.7, 3.7 ± 1.4, 4.0 ± 1.9 mm and to 3.08 ± 2.05, 2.73 ± 1.90, 2.51 ± 2.15 mm, respectively. At the three-year examination, a significant positive association was deteced between RBD reduction and RBD at baseline, while the association was not significant between RBD reduction and the radiographic bony angle, number of bony walls of the defect, or the furcation involvement at baseline. Conclusions: rhFGF-2 was effective for alveolar bone regeneration in patients with periodontitis and maintained the improved parameters over the three-year observation period. The radiographic bone defect depth at baseline was found to be the factor affecting the periodontal regenerative therapy using rhFGF-2 in the intrabony defects. Trial registration number: UMIN000027979.
RESUMO
Various bone graft products are commercially available worldwide. However, there is no clear consensus regarding the appropriate bone graft products in different clinical situations. This review is intended to summarize bone graft products, especially alloplastic bone substitutes that are available in multiple countries. It also provides dental clinicians with detailed and accurate information concerning these products. Furthermore, it discusses the prospects of alloplastic bone substitutes based on an analysis of the current market status, as well as a comparison of trends among countries. In this review, we focus on alloplastic bone substitutes approved in the United States, Japan, and Korea for use in periodontal and bone regeneration. According to the Food and Drug Administration database, 87 alloplastic bone graft products have been approved in the United States since 1996. According to the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency database, 10 alloplastic bone graft products have been approved in Japan since 2004. According to the Ministry of Health and Welfare database, 36 alloplastic bone graft products have been approved in Korea since 1980. The approved products are mainly hydroxyapatite, ß-tricalcium phosphate, and biphasic calcium phosphate. The formulations of the products differed among countries. The development of new alloplastic bone products has been remarkable. In the near future, alloplastic bone substitutes with safety and standardized quality may be the first choice instead of autologous bone; they may offer new osteoconductive and osteoinductive products with easier handling form and an adequate resorption rate, which can be used with growth factors and/or cell transplantation. Careful selection of alloplastic bone graft products is necessary to achieve predictable outcomes according to each clinical situation.
RESUMO
Periodontal regenerative treatment is useful for intrabony defects and furcation involvement, but is difficult when there is insufficient keratinized mucosa to cover and maintain the regenerative material, particularly in the mandibular molar region. We report the case of a 27-year-old woman who underwent a two-stage surgical approach for a class II furcation defect with gingival recession and insufficient keratinized mucosal width (KMW) and vestibular depth at the mandibular left first molar. We first improved the KMW and keratinized mucosal thickness using an epithelial embossed connective tissue graft with enamel matrix derivative, and then focused on periodontal regeneration at the furcation defect using an enamel matrix derivative and a bovine-derived xenograft. Probing depth reduction, clinical attachment gain, horizontal probing depth reduction, KMW gain, and gingival recession reduction were observed 3 years postoperatively. This case report suggests that this novel staged approach may be effective for treating furcation defects with insufficient keratinized mucosa, thus providing useful insights into periodontal regeneration therapy.

We succeeded in the electrical polarization of ß-tricalcium phosphate (ß-TCP) granules and performed an unprecedented attempt to implant them into maxillary bone defects in canines to confirm their ability to facilitate new bone formation. Two holes were drilled into each maxilla half of a canine and filled with electrically polarized and nonpolarized ß-TCP granules (grouping assignment was decided randomly). The implanted specimens were dissected en bloc and used for microcomputed tomography (µCT) observations and histological analyses 4 and 8 weeks after the operation. New bone ingrowth in the bone hole progressed over time from the superficial layer of the cortex toward the inner cancellous bone. The percentage area of new bone in the bone hole, as measured by µCT in the sagittal plane, was significantly larger after 4 and 8 weeks, and that measured by H&E-stained specimens in the transverse plane after 4 weeks was significantly larger in the polarized group than in the nonpolarized group. In addition to the structural stability and chemical characteristics of the ß-TCP granules, electrical stimulation bears influence not indirectly but directly on osteogenic and vessel cells, which might work cooperatively for the early initiation of the bone formation process.

BACKGROUND: The alveolar ridge undergoes pronounced reduction in height and width following tooth extraction. This study aims to comparatively evaluate the potential for ridge preservation in extraction sockets with buccal bone deficiency of ß-tricalcium phosphate coated with poly lactide-co-glycolide (ß-TCP/PLGA) and conventional particulate ß-TCP. METHODS: In six beagles, maxillary first premolars were extracted after removal of their buccal bone plates. Standardized bone defects (4 [mesiodistal width] × 4 [buccopalatal width] × 5 [depth] mm) were created at the sites of extraction sockets and filled with ß-TCP/PLGA (test sites) or particulate ß-TCP (control sites). Microcomputed tomography, histologic, and histometric evaluations were performed 12 weeks post-surgery. RESULTS: The test sites exhibited a significantly greater bone volume than the control sites (25.7 ± 2.14 versus 16.0 ± 3.3 mm3 ), although no statistically significant difference was detected in bone material density (746.3 ± 23.9 versus 714.5 ± 37.0 g/cm3 , respectively). Relative to the control sites, the test sites exhibited significantly greater alveolar-ridge coronal (2.0 ± 0.4 versus 1.1 ± 0.3 mm) and middle (2.9 ± 0.2 versus 2.1 ± 0.3 mm) horizontal widths and proportions of woven bone (50.3 ± 8.1% versus 38.0 ± 5.2%) and bone marrow (17.7 ± 6.6% versus 9.7 ± 4.1%) but a significantly lower proportion of connective tissue (10.7 ± 4.5% versus 18.3 ± 5.7%). CONCLUSION: Within the limitations of this study, the moldable ß-TCP/PLGA graft appears to exhibit a greater potential than the conventional particulate ß-TCP graft for ridge preservation of extraction sockets with buccal bone deficiency.

OBJECTIVE: In this prospective case series, the effects of flapless intentional replantation (IR) with root surface conditioning with enamel matrix derivative (EMD) was evaluated for the treatment of periodontally-endodontally involved hopeless teeth. METHOD AND MATERIALS: A total of 17 teeth (17 patients, aged 40 to 73) with ≥ 10 mm attachment loss and radiographic bone loss to the apex were included in the study. The affected teeth were atraumatically extracted using a flapless approach, then granulation tissues, calculus, and necrotic cementum on the root surfaces were removed. EMD was applied for 5 minutes to the root surfaces. The teeth were reinserted to the socket without any bone grafts and splinted. RESULTS: After 2 years, clinical healing was uneventful in 16 cases and the radiographs revealed no root resorption or ankylosis. IR with EMD treatment provided statistically significant reduction in probing depth (6.4 ± 2.6 mm), gain in clinical attachment level (5.9 ± 2.5 mm), and gain in radiographic bone level (48.2 ± 26.1%) compared to baseline values (P < .01). CONCLUSION: Within the limitations of the study, flapless IR with EMD treatment appeared to act as an alternative strategy to extraction of severely compromised teeth with endodontic-periodontal lesions beyond the root apex.

Complementary DNA of osteoblast-specific genes (dlx5, runx2a, runx2b, osterix, RANKL, type I collagen, ALP, and osteocalcin) was cloned from goldfish (Carassius auratus) scale. Messenger RNA expressions were analyzed during spontaneous scale regeneration. Dlx5 had an early peak of expression on day 7, whereas osterix was constantly expressed during days 7-21. Runx2, a major osteoblastic transcription factor in mammalian bone, did not show any significant expression. The expressions of two functional genes, type I collagen and ALP, continually increased after day 7, while that of osteocalcin increased on day 14. As for osteoclastic markers, in addition to the cloning of two functional genes, TRAP and cathepsin K, in our previous study, we here cloned the transcription factor NFATc1 to use as an early osteoclastic marker. Using these bone markers, we investigate the signal key that controls the onset of scale resorption and regeneration by performing intra-scale-pocket autotransplantation of five groups of modified scales, namely, 1) methanol-fixed scale, 2) proteinase K-treated cell-free scale, 3) polarity reversal (upside-down) scale, 4) U-shape trimmed scale, and 5) circular-hole perforated scale. In this autotransplantation, each ontogenic scale was pulled out, modified, and then re-inserted into the same scale pocket. At post-transplant, inside the pockets of all modified transplant groups, new regenerating scales formed, attaching to the ongoing resorbed transplants. Autotransplantation of methanol-fixed scale, proteinase K-treated cell-free scale, and polarity reversal (upside-down) scale triggered scale resorption and scale regeneration. These two processes of scale resorption and regeneration occurred in accordance with osteoclastic and osteoblastic marker gene expressions. These results were microscopically confirmed using TRAP and ALP staining. Regarding the autotransplantation of U-shape trimmed and circular-hole perforated scales, new scales regenerated and grew at the trimmed/perforated part of each transplant, while scale resorption occurred apparently only around the trimmed/perforated area. In contrast, no scale resorption or regeneration was detected in sham transplantations. Our finding suggests that loss of correct cell-to-cell contact between the scale-pocket lining cells and the scale cortex cells is the key to switch on the onset of scale resorption and regeneration. Overall, the present study shows that goldfish scale regeneration shares similarities in gene expression with intramembranous bone regeneration. Improved understanding of goldfish scale regeneration will help elucidate the process of intramembranous bone regeneration and make goldfish scale a possible new tool to study bone regeneration.
