PERIODONTAL REGENERATION
TIMELINE
PERIODONTAL REGENERATION
TISSUE ENGINEERING*** refers to the practice of combining scaffolds, cells, and
biologically active molecules into functional tissues.
PERIODONTAL TISSUE ENGINEERING AND BONE REGENERATION (PTEBR)* promotes
reconstitution of damaged and lost tissues through the use of growth factors and
signaling molecules, scaffolds, cells and gene therapy.
TISSUE ENGINEERING AND REGENERATIVE MEDICINE (TE/RM)** combines materials
science, biomechanics, cell biology, and medical sciences to realize repair or
reconstruction.
BONE TISSUE ENGINEERING (BTE)*** is an emerging field that aims to combat the
limitations of conventional treatments of bone disease.

CELLS-STEM CELLS
Wang et al. Stem Cells International, 2020/ Duan & Zhang et al. Journal of Cellular Physiology,2011.
WHAT'S NEW? Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSC) are derived from somatic cells
that have been reprogrammed back into an embryonic-like pluripotent state that
enables the development of an unlimited source of any type of human cell.

(A) Collection of an autologous sample.
(B) Average size of the tissue sample.
(C) Mechanical disaggregation with the
Rigeneracons® leads to the generation
of micrograft suspensions collected
from the device with a syringe. (D) The

Editor's Notes

  1. biphasic scaffold means two diff materials. Fiber-Based Scaffolds Fibrous scaffold structures may be developed by electrospinning of polymers to generate continuous micro- or nanoscale diameter fibers. Additionally, the orientation of fibers can be controlled during electrospinning to develop random or aligned fibers. 
  2. istorical timeline of the development of barrier/membrane and scaffold based periodontal regeneration approaches aimed to exert temporo-spatial co-ordination of the periodontal wound healing process: From the initial concept involving a free palatal graft for impeding epithelial migration, via the clinical implementation of the GTR concept utilizing occlusive membranes, to the most recent clinical advancements involving additively manufactured polymeric multiphasic scaffolds for periodontal tissue engineering
  3. Periodontal regeneration is defined as the restoration of lost periodontium or supporting tissues and includes formation of new alveolar bone, new cementum, and new periodontal ligament.
  4. A transplant can be classified or defined in many ways; for example, it can be based on the relationship between the recipient and the donor, its location in a recipient, and so on. Different types of transplants include autograft (from one part of the body to other within one individual), isograft (within genetically identical species like identical twins), allograft (from different individuals of same species), and xenograft (from members of different species). The different populations of dental mesenchymal stem cells and their distribution. PDLSCs: periodontal ligament stem cells; DFSCs: dental follicle stem cells; DPSCs: dental pulp-derived stem cells; SCAPs: stem cells from apical papilla; SHEDs: stem cells from exfoliated deciduous teeth; GMSCs: gingival mesenchymal stem cells; DSSCs: dental socket-derived stem cells; iPDLSCs: PDLSCs derived from infected tissue; iDPSCs: DPSCs derived from infected tissue. The micrografting technique was conceived by Cicero Parker Meek at the University of South Carolina Aiken in 1958.34 Micrografting is based on the concept that by increasing the superficial area of a skin graft by cutting the graft into smaller “micrografts,” it is possible to cover a wound larger than the original donor site. Micrografting was first applied to the treatment of burns because of a lack of available donor sites for skin grafting.

  6. Th17 cells are characterized by production of IL-17 and may have evolved for host protection against microbes that Th1 or Th2 immunity are not well suited for, such as extracellular bacteria and some fungi. M1 macrophages are classically activated, typically by IFN-γ or lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and produce proinflammatory cytokines, phagocytize microbes, and initiate an immune response. M1 macrophages produce nitric oxide (NO) or reactive oxygen intermediates (ROI) to protect against bacteria and viruses. M2 macrophages are alternatively activated by exposure to certain cytokines such as IL-4, IL-10, or IL-13. M2 macrophages will produce either polyamines to induce proliferation or proline to induce collagen production. These macrophages are associated with wound healing and tissue repair.

  12. From hard to soft, tissue-engineered materials are to meet essential characteristics: (1) provide a platform for cell attachment and 111 Handbook of Biomaterials Biocompatibility DOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/B978-0-08-102967-1.00008-6 © 2020 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.growth; (2) orchestrate cell differentiation or tissue formation through customized biophysical/chemical cues and/or multiple tissue specific growth factors (GFs) delivery over a therapeutic timespan; (3) be biocompatible with controllable degradation and resorption rate; and (4) matching or narrowing mechanical properties of tissues at the implantation site [8,9]. Aiming to enhance the regeneration process of damaged tissues and organs, modern strategies involve the use of tissue-engineered materials in combination with living cells of interest and/or bioactive molecules (Fig. 7.1). Aptamers are short, single-stranded DNA or RNA (ssDNA or ssRNA) molecules that can selectively bind to a specific target, including proteins, peptides, carbohydrates, small molecules, toxins, and even live cells.
  13. A variety of viral [i.e., adenovirus, retrovirus, adeno-associated virus (AAV)] and nonviral (i.e., plasmid) vectors have been used for the delivery of various growth factors [i.e., platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), bone morphogenetic protein (BMP), fibroblast growth factor (FGF)] to elicit a local effect (i.e. cell differentiation, proliferation, etc.) that can promote periodontal regeneration. Cells can be transduced (using viral vector) or transfected (using a non-viral vector) and the cells and/or growth factors can be delivered using a variety of methods, including via a scaffolding matrix that can be implanted at the defect site.
  14. Multiphasic scaffolds proposed for periodontal regeneration are largely characterized by the presence of bone and periodontal attachment compartments. A hydrogel is a three-dimensional (3D) network of hydrophilic polymers that can swell in water and hold a large amount of water while maintaining the structure due to chemical or physical cross-linking of individual polymer chains.
