The activation of monocytes and macrophages induced by lipopolysaccharide has been shown to contribute to the binding of lipopolysaccharide and lipopolysaccharide-binding protein complex to the cell surface CD14 molecule. To clarify the mechanism of the lipopolysaccharide-induced modulation of the function of gingival fibroblasts, we investigated the effect of anti-CD14 on interleukin 6 (IL-6) production on human gingival fibroblasts in vitro. Immunochemical staining revealed weak positivity for CD14 on fibroblasts from healthy gingiva, while strong positivity for CD14 was found on fibroblasts from inflamed gingiva. Western blot profiles of the fibroblasts and monocytes showed a CD14-positive reaction at 55 kDa. Fluorescein isothiocyanate-conjugated Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide bound to fibroblasts more strongly in the presence of 10% fetal bovine serum than without serum. This binding, as well as IL-6 production, was blocked by anti-CD14 monoclonal antibody. The results showed that CD14 was present on human gingival fibroblasts, which suggests that lipopolysaccharide modulation of gingival fibroblast function depends on CD14.

Effects of ionizing radiation on osteoblastic cells: In vitro insights into the etiopathogenesis of osteoradionecrosis.
Arch Oral Biol

University of Brasília, Brasília, Laboratory of Oral Histopathology, Health Sciences Faculty, Brazil. Electronic address:
Objective: This in vitro study aimed to analyze the effects of ionizing radiation on immortalized human osteoblast-like cells (SaOS-2) and further assess their cellular response in co-culture with fibroblasts. These analyses, conducted in both monoculture and co-culture, are based on two theoretical models of osteoradionecrosis - the theory of hypoxia and cellular necrosis and the theory of the radiation-induced fibroatrophic process.
Design: SaOS-2 cells were exposed to ionizing radiation and evaluated for cell viability, nitric oxide (NO) production, cellular morphology, wound healing, and gene expression related to the PI3K-AKT-mTOR pathway.
Novel triangle papilla access approach for interdental bone defect regeneration: A case study.

Background: Successful periodontal regeneration depends on primary wound closure and interdental papilla preservation. In this case study, we introduce a novel triangle papilla access approach (T-PAA) performed under a surgical microscope for treating interdental bone defects. In this novel approach, buccal incisions were used to access root surfaces and bone defects, avoiding interdental papilla incisions and preventing papillary collapse and necrosis.

Objective: Titanium surface modifications improve osseointegration in dental and orthopedic implants. However, soft tissue cells can also reach the implant surface in immediate loading protocols. While previous research focused on osteogenic cells, the early response of soft tissue cells still needs to be better understood.

Alveolar bone defects caused by inflammation or trauma jeopardize patients' oral functions. Guided bone regeneration (GBR) is widely used in repairing periodontal tissue, with barrier membranes play a crucial role in preserving the bone regeneration space. In this study, an injectable dual-crosslinked hydrogel was developed to improve the existing barrier membranes in flexibility and functionality.

Peri-implantitis associated with dental implants shares characteristics with destructive periodontal diseases. Both conditions are multifactorial and strongly correlated with the presence of microorganisms surrounding the prostheses or natural dentition. This study aimed to evaluate the antimicrobial activity and toxicity of a mucoadhesive hydrogel functionalized with aminochalcone (HAM-15) against Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, Fusobacterium periodonticum, Prevotella intermedia, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Tannerella forsythia, and Candida albicans.
