AI Article Synopsis

  • Periodontitis is a chronic bacterial infection that damages the supporting structures of teeth, making regeneration challenging due to inadequate healing support.
  • Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is a promising and easily obtainable surgical additive that can enhance the healing process in periodontal regeneration.
  • The review article discusses the potential of PRF as a vital tool for achieving predictable outcomes in the regeneration of periodontal tissues.

Article Abstract

Periodontitis is a chronic bacterial infection resulting in destruction of the supporting structures of the teeth. Regeneration of the lost tissues has faced difficulties primarily due to the lack of support during the intricate healing processes. A surgical additive which can 'jump start' the healing process to a more predictable regenerative process is always on the wish list of any periodontist. Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is a second generation platelet concentrate that has been considered to be an important, easy to obtain, predictable surgical additive for periodontal regeneration. This autologous scaffold provides the much needed bio-chemical mediators which has the potential for enhancing reconstruction of the periodontium. This review article tries to understand as to why PRF would be an important link to reach predictable periodontal regeneration.

The effect of low energy LED red light on osteogenetic differentiation of periodontal ligament stem cell via the ERK5 signal pathway.

Lasers Med Sci

January 2025

The Department of Preventive Dentistry, The Affiliated Stomatological Hospital, Southwest Medical University, Luzhou, 646000, China.

The purpose of this study was to examine how low-energy LED red light influences the early to middle stage of osteogenic differentiation of periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) via the ERK5 signaling pathway.  METHODS: PDLSCs were extracted from periodontal membrane tissue using enzymatic digestion. At three time points of 7, 10, and 14 days after irradiation with 5J/cm LED red light, the expression levels of early to middle-stage osteogenic-related genes ALP, Col-1, BSP, and OPN were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(qRT-PCR) in both control and osteogenesis experimental groups.

Background/purpose: Orthodontic movement is often necessary for periodontally compromised patients to enhance esthetics, function, and long-term occlusal stability. However, the impact of orthodontic treatment immediately following the regeneration of intrabony defects on periodontal healing remains a topic of debate. The objective of this long-term case series study was to test the hypothesis that orthodontic treatment performed immediately after regenerative procedures for periodontal intrabony defects did not adversely affect periodontal healing.

Background/purpose: The local inflammatory microenvironment created by periodontitis negatively impacts periodontal tissue regeneration, necessitating the development of methods to enhance the regenerative capacity of stem cells. This study explored the regulatory role and underlying mechanism of miR-508-5p in the osteogenic differentiation of human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs).

Materials And Methods: The regulatory roles of miR-508-5p in osteogenic differentiation of hPDLSCs were investigated through its inhibition or overexpression.

Background/purpose: Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) is a major transcription factor of energy metabolism-associated genes, and three PPARγ isoforms have been identified in periodontal tissues and cells. When energy metabolism homeostasis is affected by PPARγ downregulation in periodontal ligament fibroblasts (PDLFs), osteo/cementogenic abilities are markedly lost. Herein, we investigated whether PPARγ agonists promote periodontal tissue regeneration, and which PPARγ isoforms and metabolic pathways are indispensable for osteo/cementogenic abilities.

Background/purpose: Progesterone (PG) is sex steroid hormone that commonly used to control menopausal symptoms, but its exact role in periodontitis remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the effects of PG on periodontitis in perimenopausal women and in an experimental rat model.

Materials And Methods: Total 412 perimenopausal women with periodontitis and a history of PG deficiency-induced uterine dysfunctional bleeding were enrolled, among which 209 women had been treated with PG.
