Elimination of inflammation and re-osseointegration are the major objectives of peri-implantitis therapy. Existing data, however, do not support any decontamination approach. Thus, the present study aims to assess whether the air-debriding decontamination method with erythritol powder restores the biocompatibility of infected titanium discs and to investigate the potent biomodulatory ability of diode laser (810 nm) irradiation to promote cell proliferation and differentiation of premature osteoblast-like cells (MG63) towards osteocytes.

Design: Human gingival fibroblasts cultured on SLA and TCP surfaces were challenged with LPS, titanium particles or both.
Photomodulation is a promising strategy for optimizing tissue healing, but its photomodulatory effects on the synergistic cellular metabolism of gingival and bony tissues remain largely unknown. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the photomodulatory effects of a diode laser (810 nm) on osteoblasts, HGFs and their co-cultures . Primary cultures of HGFs, cultures of immature osteoblastic cells (MG63) and their co-cultures were irradiated with a diode laser (810 nm), 15 J/cm.

Several laser wavelengths have been used for wound healing improvement, and their actual outcome depends on the settings utilized during irradiation. However, the heterogeneous wavelengths and laser settings applied in the existing literature make it difficult to draw solid conclusions and comparison of different studies.

Additive manufacturing holds promise for the fabrication of three-dimensional scaffolds with precise geometry, to serve as substrates for the guided regeneration of natural tissue. In this work, a bioinspired approach is adopted for the synthesis of hybrid hydroxyapatite hydrogels, which were subsequently printed to form 3D scaffolds for bone tissue engineering applications. These hydrogels consist of hydroxyapatite nanocrystals, biomimetically synthesized in the presence of both chitosan and l-arginine.
