RESUMEN
IMPACT STATEMENT: The various roles played by brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in a multitude of tissues and at different scenarios have rendered BDNF a favorable candidate for improving tissue regeneration. Although the tested formulations of BDNF quantitatively regenerate tissue to a level similar to control groups, it resulted in significantly more instances of full regeneration.

OBJECTIVES: This analysis seeks to determine whether differences between real and estimated chronological age (CA) with biological age (BA) in skeletal individuals reflect variability in aging. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total of 87 individuals of two samples, ranging from 20 to 94 years old, were analyzed. One, partially documented, belongs to a Mexican skeletal collection dating to the 20th century; the other is an assemblage of prehispanic individuals from different archaeological sites. In all specimens, the tooth annulation method (TCA) was applied to estimate CA, while-excluding individuals older than 80 years-auricular surface (AS) and pubic symphysis (PS) methods were used to estimate BA. Statistical analyses were conducted to identify correlations and significance of the differences between CA vs. TCA, CA vs. AS/PS, TCA vs. AS/PS. Sex of individuals was assessed for its influence in aging. RESULTS: The use of TCA to estimate CA was successful for most individuals. A strong correlation was found between CA vs. TCA, CA vs. AS/PS, TCA vs. AS/PS and their differences were significant but variation in these were found when assessed by separate age groups. Sex did not influence such differences. DISCUSSION: TCA can be used to estimate CA and its differences with BA, being less than 10 years, are similar to those found in living populations. Differences between CA and BA are due to intra-population variability, which could be the consequence of individual differences in aging. More research is needed to have confidence that under- and overestimations of BA are indicators of aging variability at the level of the individual.

Embora tenha havido avanço no entendimento da homeostase do cemento dental, o papel deste tecido e sua biologia permanecem não completamente elucidados. Este estudo buscou fornecer informações sobre os conhecimentos mais recente relacionados à biologia do cemento dental, com o objetivo de discutir o papel exercido por este tecido em condições não fisiológicas nos tecidos periodontais. Devido aos avanços na exploração do tecido ósseo, que compartilha diversas características similares, a pesquisa abrangente sobre o cemento dental tem sido encorajada, a fim de esclarecer a função completa deste tecido na homeostase periodontal e regeneração. Desta forma, no presente trabalho, sempre que possível será feito um paralelo entre osso alveolar e cemento dental. O desenvolvimento de metodologias e técnicas celulares e moleculares avançadas possibilitou um melhor entendimento do comportamento do cemento em situações diversas, como quando em situações patológicas, como a doença periodontal, e até mesmo frente à regeneração tecidual. Ademais, estudos clínicos e em modelo animal demonstraram resultados em relação à formação de cemento em abordagens regenerativas. No entanto, sugere-se que estudos posteriores possam contribuir para um melhor conhecimento sobre o cemento e o perfil celular dos cementoblastos e cementócitos, bem como suas interações para fornecer novos insights para o desenvolvimento de terapias eficientes e mais previsíveis para regeneração dos tecidos periodontais. Apesar dos avanços dos estudos clínicos e laboratoriais, pôde-se concluir que inúmeras questões referentes à biologia do cemento permanecem não esclarecidas.
Although some progress has been made to understand dental cementum homeostasis, its role and biology remains not completely elucidated. This study aimed to provide information on the recent knowledge related to the dental cementum biology, in order to discuss the role of this tissue in physiological and non-physiological conditions in the periodontal tissues. Due to advances in the exploration of bone tissue, which shares several similar features, comprehensive research on dental cementum has been encouraged in order to clarify the complete function of this tissue in periodontal homeostasis and regenerative approach. Novel methodologies and advanced cellular and molecular techniques provided better understanding of cementum in different circumstances, as pathological situations such as periodontal disease and even tissue regeneration. In addition, clinical and animal model designs show positive outcomes to cementum formation in regenerative approaches, however, it is suggested that further studies may contribute to better understand cementum tissue and cementoblasts and cementocytes profile, as well as their interactions, providing new insights to develop efficient and more predictable therapies for periodontal tissue regeneration. Despite advances in clinical and laboratory studies, it can be concluded that many questions regarding the cementum biology remain unclear.

UNLABELLED: Dental cementum (DC) covers the tooth root and has important functions in tooth attachment and position. DC can be lost to disease, and regeneration is currently unpredictable due to limited understanding of DC formation. This study used a model of experimentally-induced apposition (EIA) in mice to identify proteins associated with new DC formation. Mandibular first molars were induced to super-erupt for 6 and 21days after extracting opposing maxillary molars. Decalcified and formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded mandible sections were prepared for laser capture microdissection. Microdissected protein extracts were analyzed by liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), and the data submitted to repeated measure ANOVA test (RM-ANOVA, alpha=5%). A total of 519 proteins were identified, with 97 (18.6%) proteins found exclusively in EIA sites and 50 (9.6%) proteins exclusively expressed in control sites. Fifty six (10.7%) proteins were differentially regulated by RM-ANOVA (p<0.05), with 24 regulated by the exclusive effect of EIA (12 proteins) or the interaction between EIA and time (12 proteins), including serpin 1a, procollagen C-endopeptidase enhancer, tenascin X (TNX), and asporin (ASPN). In conclusion, proteomic analysis demonstrated significantly altered protein profile in DC under EIA, providing new insights on DC biology and potential candidates for tissue engineering applications. SIGNIFICANCE: Dental cementum (DC) is a mineralized tissue that covers the tooth root surface and has important functions in tooth attachment and position. DC and other periodontal tissues can be lost to disease, and regeneration is currently unpredictable due to lack of understanding of DC formation. This study used a model of experimentally-induced apposition (EIA) in mice to promote new cementum formation, followed by laser capture microdissection (LCM) and liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) proteomic analysis. This approach identified proteins associated with new cementum formation that may be targets for promoting cementum regeneration.

Deciduous teeth exfoliate as a result of apoptosis induced by cementoblasts, a process that reveals the mineralized portion of the root while attracting clasts. Root resorption in deciduous teeth is slow due to lack of mediators necessary to speed it up; however, it accelerates and spreads in one single direction whenever a permanent tooth pericoronal follicle, rich in epithelial growth factor (EGF), or other bone resorption mediators come near. The latter are responsible for bone resorption during eruption, and deciduous teeth root resorption and exfoliation. Should deciduous teeth be subjected to orthodontic movement or anchorage, mediators local levels will increase. Thus, one should be fully aware that root resorption in deciduous teeth will speed up and exfoliation will early occur. Treatment planning involving deciduous teeth orthodontic movement and/or anchorage should consider: Are clinical benefits relevant enough as to be worth the risk of undergoing early inconvenient root resorption?

O dente decíduo é esfoliado graças à apoptose em seus cementoblastos, que desnuda a parte mineralizada da raiz e atrai os clastos. A rizólise é lenta, pois faltam mediadores em quantidade para acelerar o processo, mas ela se acelera e unidireciona quando se aproxima um folículo pericoronário de dente permanente rico em EGF e outros mediadores da reabsorção óssea - os responsáveis pelas reabsorções óssea na erupção e dentária decídua na rizólise e esfoliação. Se houver movimentação ortodôntica ou ancoragem em dentes decíduos, aumenta-se, também, o nível local desses mesmos mediadores, devendo-se estar bem consciente de que haverá uma aceleração da rizólise e, em decorrência, uma antecipação de sua esfoliação. No planejamento de casos em que dentes decíduos estejam envolvidos na movimentação ortodôntica e/ou ancoragem, deve-se ponderar: o benefício clínico para o paciente será relevante, a ponto de valer o risco de uma rizólise abreviada e inconveniente?.

This systematic review identified and qualified the current evidence of dental root damage and repair after contact with mini-implants. The electronic databases Cochrane library, Ovid, Scirus, Scopus, and Virtual Health Library were used to search original articles from 1980 to December 2011. The inclusion criteria to select the articles were 1. randomized controlled trials and prospective clinical studies based on trials involving humans, 2. randomized controlled studies in animals, 3. use of mini-implants with a diameter less than 2.5 mm, and 4. root contact evaluation associated with the use of orthodontic mini-implants. Two authors independently reviewed and extracted data from the selected studies and a methodological quality assessment process was used to rank the studies classifying them as low moderate or high quality. The searches retrieved 579 citations. After initial selection, 17 studies were considered eligible and their full texts were assessed. Four of those were excluded because root damage was not evaluated and two were excluded because of overlapping samples. Eleven articles, nine in animals and two in humans, fulfilled the inclusion criteria. From these, two studies were ranked as presenting high methodological quality, eight were judged to be of moderate, and one of low quality. The evidence found suggested that the quality of root repair depends on the amount of damage caused by the mini-implant. When the damage is limited to the cementum or dentin, healing and almost complete and repair of the periodontal structure can occur. Mini-implants that injured the pulp were less likely to result in complete repair of the periodontal tissues.

AIM: This study aimed to evaluate, histomorphometrically, the use of periodontal ligament cells (PDL cells) in the treatment of class III furcation defects. MATERIAL AND METHODS: PDL cells were obtained from the mandibular tooth extracted from each dog (7), cultured in vitro and phenotypically characterized. Bilateral class III furcation defects were created at mandibular 3rd and 4th premolars and were randomly assigned to: CONTROL GROUP: coronally positioned flap, GTR Group: GTR, Sponge Group: carrier + GTR, Cell Group: carrier + PDL cells + GTR. RESULTS: After 3 months of healing, data analysis demonstrated that the Cell Group presented a superior length of new cementum (4.82 ± 0.61 mm; 3.66 ± 0.95 mm; 2.87 ± 0.74 mm and 1.70 ± 0.60 mm, p < 0.001), a greater extension of periodontal regeneration (3.43 ± 1.44 mm; 2.33 ± 0.95 mm; 1.52 ± 0.39 mm and 0.69 ± 0.59 mm, p = 0.001) and a larger area of new bone (5.45 ± 1.58 mm(2) ; 3.94 ± 1.52 mm(2) ; 2.91 ± 0.56 mm(2) and 1.89 ± 0.95 mm(2) , p = 0.0012), when compared with Sponge, GTR and CONTROL GROUP, respectively. CONCLUSION: The PDL cells in association with GTR may significantly promote periodontal regeneration in class III furcation defects surgically created in dogs.

El periodonto de inserción es definido como aquellos tejidos que soportan y rodean a la raíz dentaria y está compuesto opr tres estructuras que constituyen una unidad topográfica y funcional: el cemento radicular, el ligamento periodontal y el hueso alveolar. Estas estructuras evolucionan interrelacionada y coordinadamente durante la vida del diente, adaptándose a las modificaciones que surgen en el medio bucal. El objetivo de este trabajo es transmitir los nuevos conceptos emergentes vinculados al periodonto de inserción, centrándonos fundamentalmente en la estructura y función de los restos epiteliales de Malassez (REM), células presentes en el ligamento periodontal. Si bien es conocida la participación de estas células en procesos patológicos, entre ellos, quistes inflamatorios y tumores odontogénicos, poco se sabe de los mismos. Por ello, para poder llevar a cabo esta actualización sobre los REM, se consideraron las últimas publicaciones al respecto que figuran en la base de datos de Pubmed. A través de esta búsqueda, se obtuvo información referida a su descubrimiento, origen embriológico, características histológicas, productos elaborados por los REM y posibles funciones por ellos desempeñadas. Se puede decir entonces, que los REM desempeñarían un papel importante dentro del ligamento periodontal normal y, posiblemente, durante las terapias periodontales regenerativas. Si bien se requieren más estudios al respecto, es posible por lo tanto, reivindicar a estas células en su función y considerarlas mucho más que simples vestigios de la odontogénesis, presentes en el ligamento periodontal.

UNLABELLED: The aim of this study was to analyze the structural characteristics of the mineralized dental tissues--enamel, dentin and cementum--in primary teeth and to correlate the histological aspects observed in function of the dental type--single-rooted or multi-rooted. METHOD: Eighteen human primary noncarious teeth were sectioned in facial-lingual (single-rooted) and mesio-distal direction (multi-rooted). One to three samples from each tooth were obtained. The samples were prepared by the ground technique and analyzed under light microscopy at different magnifications. A quantitative and descriptive analysis of the morphology of the mineralized tissues was performed. RESULTS: Spindles, tufts and lamellae were consistently observed mainly in the occlusal surface of the primary molars. The scalloped pattern of the dentinoenamel junction was not always present. The same was seen for zones of interglobular dentin. Dead tracts in dentin and tertiary dentin were observed mainly in single-rooted teeth below areas of dental attrition. Areas of cellular and acellular cementum were observed in the two dental types. CONCLUSIONS: Primary teeth have some structural peculiarities and these should be investigated concerning the clinical repercussion.

BACKGROUND: The developing periodontium is sensitive to local levels of inorganic phosphate (P(i)) and inorganic pyrophosphate (PP(i)) as demonstrated by cementum phenotypes resulting from the loss of function of protein regulators of P(i)/PP(i) homeostasis. The progressive ankylosis protein (ANK) regulates the transport of PP(i), and progressive ankylosis gene (Ank) and knock-out (KO) mice feature a rapidly forming and thick cementum. We hypothesized that, besides affecting cementum formation, decreased extracellular PP(i) levels in Ank KO mice would also impact cementum regeneration. METHODS: Periodontal fenestration defects (approximately 2 mm in length, 1 mm in width, and 0.5 mm in depth) were created on buccal aspects of mandibular molars in Ank KO and wild-type (WT) mice. Mandibles were harvested at 15 and 30 days post-surgery for histology, histomorphometry, evaluation of in vivo fluorochrome labeling, and immunohistochemistry (IHC) for proteins including bone sialoprotein (BSP), osteopontin (OPN), dentin matrix protein 1 (DMP1), and ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 1 (NPP1). RESULTS: A greater amount of new cementum was observed in Ank KO mice at 15 and 30 days post-surgery (P <0.05), which was confirmed by fluorochrome labeling showing a higher new cementum appositional activity in defect areas in Ank KO mice versus controls. At days 15 and 30 during healing, regenerating cementum and associated cells in Ank KO samples recapitulated expression patterns mapped during development, including limited BSP and positive OPN and DMP1 in the cementum matrix as well as elevated NPP1 in cementoblasts. CONCLUSIONS: Within the limits of the study, these findings suggest that reduced local levels of PP(i) could promote increased cementum regeneration. Therefore, the local modulation of P(i)/PP(i) may be a potential therapeutic approach for achieving improved cementum regeneration.

BACKGROUND: Human postnatal stem cells have been identified in periodontal ligaments (PDLs). In this study, the in vitro biologic properties of CD105(+) enriched cell subsets from PDLs harvested from deciduous (DePDL) and permanent (PePDL) teeth are comparatively assessed. METHODS: PDL tissue was obtained from 12 teeth (six primary and six permanent) from which CD105(+) CD34(-) CD45(-) cells were isolated by magnetic cell sorting. To identify and quantitatively compare the stem cell markers, DePDL and PePDL cells were assessed for CD166 surface antigen expression by flow cytometry, real-time polymerase chain reaction, and immunostaining for Stro-1 and Oct-4, osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation, and proliferation rate by trypan blue method. RESULTS: Magnetic cell sorting isolated cell populations containing 23.87% (+/- 11.98%) and 11.68% (+/- 6.27%) of CD105(+) expressing cells from PePDL and DePDL, respectively. Flow cytometric analysis demonstrated a higher proportion of CD105(+) cells coexpressing CD166 surface antigen in PePDL, whereas immunostaining and real-time polymerase chain reaction analysis demonstrated that both cell subsets expressed Stro-1 and Oct-4. DePDL-CD105(+) subsets were more proliferative compared to PePDL subsets, and both cell populations showed multipotential capabilities to differentiate in vitro to osteoblast/cementoblast- and adipocyte-like cells. However, a higher expression of adipogenic-related genes was observed in DePDL cells, whereas PePDL-CD105(+) cell subset presented a more homogeneous osteoblast/cementoblast response. CONCLUSION: These findings demonstrate that highly purified mesenchymal progenitor cell subsets can be obtained from the PDLs of both deciduous and permanent teeth, and further indicate phenotype dissimilarities that may have an impact on their clinical applications.

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study is to verify the regenerative potential of particulate anorganic bone matrix-synthetic peptide-15 (ABM-P-15) in class III furcation defects associated or not with expanded polytetrafluoroethylene membranes. METHODS: Class III furcation defects were produced in the mandibular premolars (P2, P3, and P4) of six dogs and filled with impression material. The membranes and the bone grafts were inserted into P3 and P4, which were randomized to form the test and control groups, respectively; P2 was the negative control group. The animals were sacrificed 3 months post-treatment. RESULTS: Histologically, the complete closure of class III furcation defects was not observed in any of the groups. Partial periodontal regeneration with similar morphologic characteristics among the groups was observed, however, through the formation of new cementum, periodontal ligament, and bone above the notch. Histologic analysis showed granules from the bone graft surrounded by immature bone matrix and encircled by newly formed tissue in the test group. The new bone formation area found in the negative control group was 2.28 + or - 2.49 mm(2) and in the test group it was 6.52 + or - 5.69 mm(2), which showed statistically significant differences for these groups considering this parameter (Friedman test P <0.05). There was no statistically significant difference among the negative control, control, and test groups for the other parameters. CONCLUSIONS: The regenerative potential of ABM-P-15 was demonstrated through new bone formation circumscribing and above the graft particles. The new bone also was accompanied by the formation of new cementum and periodontal ligament fibers.

The maintenance of the avulsed teeth in appropriate media for preserving the cellular viability has been important for repairing the periodontal ligament and preventing the root resorption after tooth reimplantation. Propolis is a substance capable of preserving cellular viability. This study aimed to analyze the propolis substance as a storage media for maintaining the avulsed teeth, besides to determine the ideal time period for keeping the tooth inside it. Thus, 60 maxillary right central incisors of rats were extracted and divided into five groups. In groups I and II, teeth were kept in propolis for 60 min and 6 h, respectively; in group III, teeth were kept in milk for 6 h; in group IV, teeth were kept dry for 60 min; and in group V, they were immediately reimplanted. All teeth had their root canals filled with calcium hydroxide paste. Following, teeth were reimplanted in their sockets. After 15 and 60 days, animals were killed and the obtained samples were processed in laboratory for microscopic and morphometric analyzing. The results showed that the occurrence of inflammatory resorption, dental ankylosis and the formation of the connective tissue parallel to the root surface were similar among groups. It could be verified a greater occurrence of replacement resorption in group IV when comparing to other groups. In groups I and IV, the presence of periodontal ligament-like connective tissue was substantially smaller than the other groups. Regarding to the cementum amount over the root, it could be observed that this was present in smaller amount in groups I and IV. Group II was similar to groups III and IV. Therefore, according to the results of this study, the use of propolis as a storage media for maintaining avulsed teeth could be highlighted, and the 6-h period was more appropriate than the 60-min period.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate histologically the root surfaces of teeth submitted to orthodontic and surgical extrusion procedures in a dog model. Eighteen adult male dogs, divided into six groups of three dogs each, were used in the study. Each animal underwent two procedures: rapid orthodontic extrusion and surgical extrusion of the maxillary lateral incisors. The animals were sacrificed to produce samples at 7, 14, 45, 90, 120, and 180 days after surgery for assessment of cross sections of the coronal, medial, and apical thirds of the treated teeth. At early time points, some active surface and inflammatory resorption was observed exclusively in the surgical extrusion group; however, samples collected at later times demonstrated functional repair of the resorption gaps in both groups. Ankylosis was observed as a minor event and was apparently of a transient nature in samples of the surgical extrusion group. The results demonstrate the importance of maintaining the periodontal ligament and cementum surface; both are vital for the prevention of root resorption. It may be postulated that orthodontic extrusion is more conservative and physiologic than surgical extrusion; however, the results showed that function was restored in both groups.

This study evaluated periapical tissue healing and orthodontic root resorption of endodontically treated teeth sealed with calcium hydroxide in dogs. The sample consisted of three contralateral pairs of maxillary incisors and two contralateral pairs of mandibular incisors in each of two dogs using a split mouth design. After biomechanical preparation of the teeth in the first group (n = 10), a Ca(OH)(2) dressing was placed for 14 days before root canal filling with Ca(OH)(2)-based sealer (Sealapex) and gutta-percha points. In the second group (n = 10), root canals were obturated immediately after the mechanical preparation with gutta-percha points and zinc oxide and eugenol (ZOE)-based sealer (Endofill). After completion of endodontic treatment, the teeth were moved with an orthodontic appliance with a calibrated force of 200 g, reactivated every 21 days. After 105 days, the animals were killed and the teeth were removed upon completion of active treatment, without a period of recovery, and prepared for histomorphological analysis. All sections of each tooth were graded subjectively on a scale from one to four to obtain the average of the 16 histomorphological parameters analysed. Evaluation of the differences between the two treatment protocols was made with Mann-Whitney U-test. It was observed that the teeth treated with Ca(OH)(2)-based materials provided better outcomes (P = 5%), with complete repair of all root resorption areas, high rate of biological closure of the main canal and apical accessory canals by newly formed cementum, less intense and extensive chronic inflammatory infiltrate, and better organization of the periodontal ligament. Under the tested conditions, Ca(OH)(2)-based materials had a favourable action on periapical tissue healing and repair of orthodontic root resorption in endodontically treated dogs' teeth.

El envejecimiento es un fenómeno natural, inevitable y una parte intrínseca de todas las formas de vida. La expectativa de vida al nacer se incrementa tanto en Argentina como en el mundo. Esto determina una creciente longevidad de la población. En virtud de las políticas preventivas y de salud, estas personas conservan su dentición propia. Esto implica que en este grupo etario habrá un incremento de la demanda de atención odontológica y una mayor necesidad de terapias endodónticas. Para satisfacer esta demanda, el odontólogo en primer lugar debe integrar un equipo multidisciplinario con el médico de cabecera y los distintos especialistas, para poder así brindar la mejor atención. En segundo lugar debe conocer las particularidades anatómicas, fisiológicas y patológicas que se producen en la cavidad bucal y en la dentición de esas personas con el avance de la edad.

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to histometrically evaluate the healing process of gingival recessions treated with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in combination with a subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) and to compare it to that obtained with SCTG alone. METHODS: Six mongrel dogs were used in the experiment. Gingival recessions (5 x 7 mm) were surgically created and exposed to plaque accumulation for 1 month. Contralateral defects were randomly assigned to the test group (SCTG + PRP) or the control group (SCTG). Dogs were sacrificed 45 days after the surgeries, and the blocks containing the experimental specimens were processed for histologic analysis. The histometric parameters evaluated were length of sulcular and junctional epithelium, connective tissue adaptation, new cementum, new bone, and defect extension. RESULTS: A greater length of new cementum was observed in the sites treated with PRP (2.18 +/- 0.78 mm) compared to the control group (1.19 +/- 0.62 mm) (P < or =0.05). No statistically significant differences were observed in the remaining parameters. The extension of total epithelium (sulcular and junctional epithelium) was 2.04 +/- 0.57 mm for the test group and 2.49 +/- 0.82 mm for the control group. The new connective tissue adjacent to the root without cementum formation was 0.29 +/- 0.28 mm and 0.23 +/- 0.18 mm for the test and control groups, respectively. Bone position was -0.57 +/- 0.95 mm for the test group and -0.46 +/- 1.34 mm for the control group. CONCLUSION: Within the limits of this study, the combination of PRP with SCTG was more effective in promoting new cementum formation than the graft alone.
