Objective: The ultimate goal of periodontal treatment is to regenerate the damaged periodontal support. Although periodontal ligament (PDL) cells are essential for periodontal regeneration, few studies have reported the transplantation of periodontal ligament cells to periodontal defects. We developed a new method to apply periodontal ligament cells as a sheet to the defect. The aim of this study was to investigate the periodontal healing after application of the periodontal ligament cell sheet in beagle dogs.
Methods: Autologous periodontal ligament cells were obtained from extracted premolars of each beagle dog. Periodontal ligament cell sheets were fabricated using a temperature-responsive cell culture dish. Dehiscence defects were surgically created on the buccal surface of the mesial roots of bilateral mandibular first molars of each dog. In the experimental group (five defects), periodontal ligament cell sheet with reinforced hyaluronic acid carrier was applied to the defect. Only the hyaluronic acid carrier was applied to the contralateral side as a control (five defects). Eight weeks after surgery, the animals were sacrificed and decalcified specimens were prepared. Healing of the periodontal defects was evaluated histologically and histometrically.
Results: No clinical signs of inflammation or recession of gingiva were observed in both experimental and control groups. In the experimental group, periodontal tissue healing with bone, periodontal ligament and cementum formation was observed in three out of five defects. In the control group, such periodontal tissue formation was not observed except in one defect. Histometric analysis revealed that the formation of new cementum in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group.
Conclusion: The periodontal ligament cell sheet has a potential to regenerate periodontal tissue and may become a novel regenerative therapy.

Human periodontal ligament (hPDL) is continuously exposed to mechanical forces that can induce inflammatory responses in resident stem cells (hPDLSCs). Here, we review the impact of mechanical force on hPDLSCs, focusing on the activation of inflammatory cytokines and related signalling pathways, which subsequently influence periodontal tissue remodelling. The effects of various mechanical forces, including compressive, shear, and tensile forces, on hPDLSCs are discussed.

The use of dental implants to replace lost or damaged teeth has become increasingly widespread due to their reported high survival and success rates. In reality, the long-term survival of dental implants remains a health concern, based on their short-term predicted survival of ~15 years, significant potential for jawbone resorption, and risk of peri-implantitis. The ability to create functional bioengineered teeth, composed of living tissues with properties similar to those of natural teeth, would be a significant improvement over currently used synthetic titanium implants.

Early periodontitis diagnosis is challenging due to varying staging and grading systems. While clinical parameters like bleeding on probing (BoP) and pocket depth (PD) are commonly used, periapical radiographs provide valuable information about bone loss and periodontal ligament changes. However, a clear definition of early periodontitis, particularly regarding alveolar bone crest changes, remains elusive.

Extensive and closely coordinated remodeling processes take place in the periodontal ligament (PDL) and the adjacent bone during orthodontic tooth movement. In complex orthodontic cases, it is necessary to move teeth into an augmented bony defect, for example, in patients with cleft lip, alveolus, and palate. The important role of the PDL during tooth movement is well accepted but not fully understood.

This paper creates 3D models of Kitchon Root Controlled Auxiliary Archwire (Kitchon-RCAA) with different material properties and assembles them onto the main archwire equipped with brackets. By setting different loading methods and conducting Finite Element Analysis (FEA), the range of Orthodontic Torque/Support Force (OT/SF) values can be obtained. From the obtained values, it can be seen that changes in material properties have a significant impact on the mechanical properties of Kitchon-RCAA.
