AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to review how different cell types (not including dental pulp cells) express genes when exposed to various tricalcium silicate cements (TSCs).
- A total of 41 studies were analyzed, highlighting that ProRoot MTA was the most researched TSC variant, and 11 different cell types, including osteoblasts, were examined for gene expression changes.
- Findings showed that cells exposed to TSCs consistently demonstrated significantly increased gene expression compared to untreated controls, indicating that TSCs positively influence cellular responses relevant for periapical healing.
Article Abstract
Introduction: The aim of this study was to present a systematic review investigating the gene expression of various cells (other than dental pulp cells) in response to different variants of tricalcium silicate cements (TSCs).
Methods: A systematic search of the literature was performed by 2 independent reviewers followed by article selection and data extraction. Studies analyzing any cell type except dental pulp stem cells and any variant of tricalcium silicate cement either as the experimental or as the control group were included.
Results: A total of 41 relevant articles were included in this review. Among the included studies, ProRoot MTA (Dentsply, Tulsa, OK) was the most commonly studied (69.1%) TSC variant, and 11 cell types were identified, with 13 articles investigating gene expression in osteoblasts. A total of 39 different genes/molecules expressed were found in the selected studies. The experimental group (irrespective of the TSC variant) was identified to express significantly increased gene expression compared with the control group (untreated) in all included studies. Recent studies have provided useful insight into the gene expression and molecular signaling of various cells in response to TSCs, and new elements have been supplied on the pathways activated in this process.
Conclusions: TSCs are capable of eliciting a favorable cellular response in periapical regeneration.
