Osteogenic potential of dental and oral derived stem cells in bone tissue engineering among animal models: An update.

Small bone defects can heal spontaneously through the bone modeling process due to their physiological environmental conditions. The bone modeling cycle preserves the reliability of the skeleton through the well-adjusted activities of its fundamental cell. Stem cells are a source of pluripotent cells with a capacity to differentiate into any tissue in the existence of a suitable medium.

Comparing the osteogenic potential of schneiderian membrane and dental pulp mesenchymal stem cells: an in vitro study.

Mesenchymal stem cells, being characterized by high self-renewal capacity and multi-lineage differentiation potential, are widely used in regenerative medicine especially for repair of bone defects in patients with poor bone regenerative capacity. In this study, we aimed to compare the osteogenic potential of human maxillary schneiderian sinus membrane (hMSSM)-derived stem cells versus permanent teeth dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs). Both cells types were cultivated in osteogenic and non-osteogenic inductive media.

Healing of Bone Defects in Pig's Femur Using Mesenchymal Cells Originated from the Sinus Membrane with Different Scaffolds.

Objective: Repairing bone defects, especially in older individuals with limited regenerative capacity, is still a big challenge. The use of biomimetic materials that can enhance the restoration of bone structure represents a promising clinical approach. In this study, we evaluated ectopic bone formation after the transplantation of human maxillary Schneiderian sinus membrane- (hMSSM-) derived cells embedded within various scaffolds in the femur of pigs.

Evaluation of the Osteogenic Potential of Different Scaffolds Embedded with Human Stem Cells Originated from Schneiderian Membrane: An Study.

Background: Novel treatments for bone defects, particularly in patients with poor regenerative capacity, are based on bone tissue engineering strategies which include mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), bioactive factors, and convenient scaffold supports.

Objective: In this study, we aimed at comparing the potential for different scaffolds to induce osteogenic differentiation of human maxillary Schneiderian sinus membrane- (hMSSM-) derived cells. hMSSM-derived cells were seeded on gelatin, collagen, or Hydroxyapatite -Tricalcium phosphate-Fibrin (Ha-TCP-Fibrin) scaffolds.

Sinus Floor Augmentation With Ambient Blood and an Absorbable Collagen Sponge: A Prospective Pilot Clinical Study.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to clinically, radiologically, and histologically evaluate a sinus augmentation technique using a resorbable collagen sponge to maintain space between the Schneiderian membrane and the residual crestal bone.

Materials And Methods: Patients with partially edentulous maxillae were clinically and radiographically evaluated for implant placement. A total of 10 consecutive patients with the bone height for implant placement (<4.

Evaluation of Three-Dimensional Volumetric Changes After Sinus Floor Augmentation with Mineralized Cortical Bone Allograft.

Aim: The aim of this retrospective study was to quantify three-dimensional (3D) volumetric bone changes over a two-year period in maxillary sinuses augmented with a mineralized cortical bone allograft material (MCBA) material.

Patients And Methods: Eleven patients (6 males and 5 females) with mean of age of 51.6 (range: 46-61) years were treated to increase the vertical dimension of the alveolar crest by maxillary sinus floor augmentation procedure.
