Scaffolds of cell substrates are biophysical platforms for cell attachment, proliferation, and differentiation. They ultimately play a leading-edge role in the regeneration of tissues. Recent studies have shown the potential of bioactive scaffolds (i.e., osteo-inductive) through 3D printing. In this study, rice bran-derived biocomposite was fabricated for fused deposition modeling (FDM)-based 3D printing as a potential bone-graft analogue. Rice bran by-product was blended with poly caprolactone (PCL), a synthetic commercial biodegradable polymer. An extruder with extrusion process molding was adopted to manufacture the newly blended "green material." Processing conditions affected the performance of these blends. Bio-filament composite was characterized using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). Mechanical characterization of bio-filament composite was carried out to determine stress-strain and compressive strength. Biological behaviors of bio-filament composites were also investigated by assessing cell cytotoxicity and water contact angle. EDX results of bio-filament composites indicated the presence of organic compounds. These bio-filament composites were found to have higher tensile strength than conventional PCL filament. They exhibited positive response in cytotoxicity. Biological analysis revealed better compatibility of r-PCL with rice bran. Such rice bran blended bio-filament composite was found to have higher elongation and strength compared to control PCL.

Purpose: Due to the difficulty of the hygienic care and sanitary management of abutment teeth and subpontic areas associated with fixed dental prostheses (FDPs), intrabony defects occur and accelerate due to the accumulation of plaque and calculus. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of regenerative periodontal surgery for intrabony defects associated with FDPs. Methods: The study inclusion criteria were met by 60 patients who underwent regenerative treatment between 2016 and 2018, involving a total of 82 intrabony defects associated with FDPs. Periodontal osseous lesions were classified as 1-, 2-, and 3-wall intrabony defects and were treated with an enamel matrix derivative in combination with bone graft material. The changes in clinical (pocket probing depth [PPD] and clinical attachment level [CAL]) and radiographic (defect depth and width) outcomes were measured at baseline and at 6, 12, and 24 months. Results: Six months after regenerative treatment, a significant reduction was observed in the PPD of 1-wall (P<0.001), 2-wall (P<0.001), and 3-wall (P<0.001) defects, as well as a significant reduction in the CAL of 2-wall (P<0.001) and 3-wall (P<0.001) intrabony defects. However, there was a significant increase in the CAL of 1-wall intrabony defects (P=0.003). Radiographically, a significant reduction in the depth of the 3-wall (P<0.001) defects and a significant reduction in the width of 2-wall (P=0.008) and 3-wall (P<0.001) defects were observed. The depth decreased in 1-wall defects; however, this change was not statistically significant (P=0.066). Conclusions: Within the limitations of the current study, regenerative treatment of 2- and 3-wall intrabony defects associated with FDPs improved clinical and radiological outcomes. Additional prospective studies are necessary to confirm our findings and to assess long-term outcomes.

Postsurgical infections are caused by implant-related pathogenic microorganisms that lead to graft rejection. Hence, an intrinsically antibacterial material is required to produce a biocompatible biomaterial with osteogenic properties that could address this major issue. Hence, this current research aims to make strontium-doped hydroxyapatite nanorods (SrHANRs) via an ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA)-enable microwave mediated method using Anodontia alba seashells for biomedical applications. This investigation also perceives that EDTA acts as a soft template to accomplish Sr-doping and mesoporous structures in pure hydroxyapatite nanorods (HANRs). The X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis reveals the crystalline and mesoporous structures, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) indicates the surface area of all the samples, including pure HANRs and doped HANRs. In addition, the biocidal ability was tested using various implant-related infectious bacteria pathogens, and it was discovered that Sr-doped HANRs have excellent biocidal properties. Furthermore, toxicity evaluation using zebrafish reports the non-toxic nature of the produced HANRs. Incorporating Sr²⁺ ions into the HAp lattice would enhance biocompatibility, biocidal activity, and osteoconductive properties. As a result, the biocompatible HANRs materials synthesized with Sr-dopants may be effective in bone regeneration and antibacterial in-built implant applications.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of chitosan coating on the attachment, proliferation, functional and morphological change of periodontal ligament cells. Primary human periodontal ligament cells were cultured in dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium with 10% fetal bovine serum and 1% antibiotics. In experimental group, cells of 4th to 7th passage were inoculated in the multiwell plates coated with chitosan in concentration of 0.22, 0.2, and $2mg/m{\ell}$. Cell counting and MTT assay were done after 0.5, 1.5, 3, 6 and 24 hours of incubation to evaluate the cell attachment, and then after 2 and 7 days of culture to evaluate the cell proliferation. The alkaline phosphatase activity was measured after 4 and 7 days of culture and the ability to produce mineralized modules was evaluated after 21 days of culture. The results were as follows : 1. The morphology of periodontal ligament cells on the chitosan coating was round or spheric. Round cells were aggregated after 6 hours of culture. Aggregated cells on the chitosan coated surface showed nodule-like appearance after 24 hours of culture and not achieved confluency at 7 days. 2. During early period of culture, the attachment of periodontal ligament cells were inhibited by chitosan coating. Inhibition of cell attachment tended to increase with the concentration of chitosan. 3. At the chitosan concentration of 0.02 and $0.2mg/m{\ell}$, periodontal ligament cells were more rapidly proliferated at 7 days, compared to the control group. At the concentration of $2mg/m{\ell}$, the proliferation of periodontal ligament cells was inhibitied(p<0.01). 4. Alkaline phosphatase activity of periodontal ligament cells was increased in chitosan coated group, especially at the concentration of $0.02mg/m{\ell}$after 4 days of culture.5. Periodontal ligament cells produced mineralized nodules on chitosan coated wells without the addition of mineralized nodule forming materials (ascorbic acid, ${\beta}-glycerophosphat$, dexamethasone). With the addition of mineralized nodule forming materials, periodontal ligament cells produced more mineralized nodules at the concentration of $0.02mg/m{\ell}$, compared to the control. In summary, the attachment, proliferation, cell activity, and alkaline phosphatase activity of periodontal ligament cells depended on the concentration of coated chitosan. Chitosan stimulated mineralized nodule formation by periodontal ligament cells. At the appropriate concentration($0.02mg/m{\ell}$), chitosan could increase alkaline phosphatase activity and stimulate the formation of mineralized nodule by periodontal ligament cells. These results suggest that chitosan can be used as an adjunct for bone graft material, and the matrix of tissue engineering for periodontal regeneration, especially bone regeneration.

Materials and Methods: 30 patients with chronic periodontitis were used in this study. 10 patients were treated with a combination of CS and CC as the experimental group II and another 10 patients were treated with CC as the experimental group I, and the remaining 10 patients, the control group were treated only with modified widman flap. Clinical parameters including probing depth, gingival recession, bone probing depth and loss of attachment were recorded 6 months later. Results: The probing depth changes were $3.30{\pm}1.34\;mm$ in the control group, $4.2{\pm}1.55\;mm$ in the experimental group I(CC) and $5.00{\pm}1.33\;mm$ in the experimental group II(CS+CC). They all showed a significant decrease 6 months after surgery(p<0.01). There was a significant difference(p<0.05) between the control and experimental group. However there were no significant difference(p<0.05) between the experimental group I and II. The gingival recession changes w $-1.30{\pm}1.25\;mm$ in the control group, This is a significant difference(p<0.01). However, there was a $-0.50{\pm}0.53\;mm$ change in the experimental group I(CC) and $-0.60{\pm}0.97\;mm$ in the experimental group II(CS+CC). In addition, in terms of gingival recession, there was a no significance difference(p<0.05) among the groups. The clinical attachment level changes were $2.00{\pm}1.33\;mm$ in the control group, $3.60{\pm}1.58\;mm$ in the experimental group I(CC) and $4.40{\pm}1.17\;mm$ in the experimental group II(CS+CC). They all showed a significant decrease 6 months after surgery(p<0.01). There was a significant difference(p<0.05) between the control and experimental group. However there was a no significance difference(p<0.05) between the experimental group I and II. The bone probing depth changes were $0.60{\pm}0.52\;mm$ in the control group, $3.20{\pm}1.48\;mm$ in the experimental group I(CC) and $4.60{\pm}1.43\;mm$ in the experimental group II(CS+CC). All of them showed a significant decrease 6 months after surgery(p<0.01), there was a significance difference(p<0.05) among the groups. Conclusion: Treatment using a combination of CS and CC have a potential to improve periodontal parameters in intrabony defects and More efficient clinical results can be expected in intrabony defects less than 2 walls grafted with CS and CC.

Silica is known as a promising osteoconductive material, and polycaprolactone is a bioactive and degradable material. The purpose of this study was to monitor the differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells cultured on the layer-built silica/poly caprolactone non-woven fabric produced by electrospinning. Non-woven fabric (silica, polycaprolactone, PSP, SPS) was made by electrospinning and they were inserted in the 48 well cell culture plate. MC3T3-E1 cells were prepared by subculture. Cells were seeded to each well $1{\times}10^5$ concentration per well. Dulbecco's modified eagle medium with 10% FBS and 1% antibiotic-antimycotic solution was used. Confocal laser scanning microscope was taken 4 hours after incubation (95% air. 5% $CO_2$, $37^{\circ}C$). Cell proliferation was monitored by spectrophotometer on 1, 7, 14 days, and the morphology of the growing cells was observed by field emission scanning electron microscope. To monitor the differentiation of osteoblasts on the materials, MC3T3-E1 cells were incubated in 48 well culture plate after seeding with the density of $1{\times}10^5$ concentration. Then ELISA kit & EIA kit were used on to assess osteocalcin and osteopontin expression respectively. The other conditions were the same as above. MC3T3-E1 cells were proliferated well on all of the materials. There were no statistical differences among them. The osteopontin expression of silica, PSP, SPS was significantly higher than other groups on day 3 (p/0,05), but after that time, there were no statistically signigicant differences. The osteocalcin expression was significantly higher in silica and PSP than other groups on day 14. These findings show that PSP was as good as silica on the effect of osteoblast differentiation. The PSP non-woven fabric may have the possibility as bone graft materials.

Statement of problem. The role of calcium sulfate in stimulating the growth of gingival soft tissue has been reported in few studies. Such a unique property of calcium sulfate could serve as a trouble-solving broker in compensating for the lack of soft tissues in various oral surgeries. Purpose. The purpose of this study was to compare the proliferating activities of human gingival fibroblasts seeded on various bone graft barrier materials of calcium sulfate, collagen, and polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE). Material and methods. Two calcium sulfates ($CAPSET^{(R)}$. and $CalForma^{(R)}$, Lifecore Biomedical Inc., St. Paul, Minnesota, USA), a resorbable natural collagen ($Bio-Gide^{(R)}$, Geistlich Pharma Ag., Wolhusen, Switzerland), and a non-resorbable PTFE ($TefGen-FD^{(R)}$, Lifecore Biomedical Inc., St. Paul, Minnesota, USA) served as the human gingival fibroblasts' substrates and comprised the four experimental groups, whereas the untreated floors of culture plastics were used in the control group, in this study. Cells were trypsinized, seeded, and incubated for 48 h. The proliferating activities of fibroblasts were determined by XTT and SRB assay and absorbance (optical density, OD) was measured. One-way ANOVA was used to analyze the differences in the mean OD values between the groups of CAPSET, CalForma, Bio-Gide, TefGen, and the control (p<0.05). Results. From the XTT assay, the mean OD value of the control group, the highest, was significantly greater than that of any of the four experimental groups followed by CalForma, CAPSET, TefGen, and Bio-Gide. Further, the mean OD value of CalForma, was significantly greater compared to that of Bio-Gide. From the SRB assay, Calforma showed the highest mean OD value, which was significantly greater than that of any other groups, followed by the control, CAPSET, Bio-Gide, and TefGen. The mean OD values of both the control and CAPSET were significantly greater compared to that of TefGen (p<0.05). Conclusion. Assessment of the viability and proliferation of cultured fibroblasts seeded and incubated for 48 h on various barrier-material substrates using XTT and SRB assay showed that calcium sulfate $CalForma^{(R)}$ promotes the proliferating activity of human gingival fibroblasts.

자가골막은 골결손부에서 골형성을 자극할 수 있는 능력과 조직유도재생술의 이상적인 차폐막이 갖추어야 할 여러 조건들을 만족하고 있다. 치주조직의 재생 술식에 적용시 임상적으로 다른 차폐막을 사용한 정도의 치주낭 감소와 임상적인 부착증진을 얻었다고 보고되고 있으나 이러한 임상적인 긍정적인 결과가 치주조직의 재생을 반드시 의미하는 것이 아니므로 조직학적 평가가 필요하다. 이에 본 실험은 성견의 하악 소구치에 2급 분지부 골결손을 형성하고 상악 견치의 협측 변연치은 정상 3 mm 하방에서 채취한 자가골막을 이식한 경우와 자가골막에 Calcium carbonate 이식을 병용하였을 때 치주조직의 재생에 미치는 영향을 평가하고자 하였다. 실험은 잡종 성 견 6마리를 이용하였다. 실험군은 모두 3개 군으로 나누었다. 대조군은 골결손부의 외과적 처치 후 치주판막으로 봉합한 군, 실험 I군은 골결손부에 외과적 처치 후 자가골막만 이식한 군, 실험 II군은 골결손부에 자가골막과 Calcium carbonate 이식을 병용한 군으로 하였다. 희생은 각각 술후 2, 4, 12주에 시행하였고 광학 현미경적 관찰을 시행하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 임상적으로 잘 치유된 소견을 보였다. 광학현미경적으로 관찰시 2주째에 대조군은 상피의 근단이동이 심하였고 홈하방 부위에서만 골조직의 개조현상이 관찰되었으나 자가골막을 이식한 실험 I, II군에서는 상피의 하방이동은 미약하였고 홈상방으로 많은 골양조직이 관찰되었다. 조직계측학적으로 상피대는 실험군과 대조군 모두 4주와 1 2주째에 큰 변화가 없었다. 치주조직의 신부착 양은 실험군 대조군 모두 1 2주에 4주보다 더 증가하였으며 실험 I, II군이 대조군에 비하여 많은 경향을 보였으나 실험 I, II군간의 차이는 없었다. 이식된 자가골막은 시간이 경과함에 따라 골막이 주위조직과 생착되어 4주이후에는 관찰되지 않았다. 이상의 결과로 보아 이식된 자가골막에 의한 치주조직 재생은 비교적 양호하였으며 상피의 하방증식을 억제할 수 있어 흡수성 차폐막으로 이용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

연구 목적: 기존의 기계절삭 가공된 티타늄 표면에 생체활성 유기물질이 코팅된 생체 활성 임플란트에 관한연구가 최근에 많이 이루어지고 있다. 이러한 생체 활성 임플란트는 임플란트 자체에 골치유 및 골형성 효과를 부여할 수 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 생체 활성 임플란트 표면에 대한 연구 동향을 분석함으로써, 표면처리 기술 개발의 현황과 향후 발전 전망에 대해서 알아보고자 하였다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 본 문헌 분석 연구는 'Web of Science (http://isiknowledge.com, Thomson Scientific)'를 통해 SCI (science citation index) 등재 논문들을 기반으로 분석하였다. 주제별로 연구비중을 비교하기 위해서, 임플란트 표면 코팅에 사용되는 생체활성 유기물들로 키워드를 선정하고 각 키워드로 대표되는 리서치 그룹을 선정하여 각 그룹들의 연구 동향을 분석하였다. 또한 키워드별로 동물실험 동향을 분석하여 상용화 가능성에 대해서도 고찰하였다. 결과: 연구의 비중은 콜라겐, 피브로넥틴, 골형성단백질, RGD (Arg-Gly-Asp) 순으로 나타났으며, 콜라겐을 이용한 연구가 40%로 가장 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있었다. 네가지 주제 모두 시간의 경과에 따라 연구횟수가 증가하는 양상을 보였으며, 특히 RGD에 관한 연구횟수가 가장 급격하게 증가하였다. 콜라겐 대표 리서치 그룹의 연구 동향을 분석하였을 때, 콜라겐은 단독 사용보다는 다른 생체활성 유기물 및 무기물과의 병용 처치에 관해 주로 연구가 되고 있었으며, 특히 세포외기질인 콘드로이틴 설패이트와의 병용 처치에 관한 연구가 가장 많이 이루어지고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 골형성단백질의 대표 리서치 그룹들에서는 rhBMP-2 (recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2)에 관한 연구가 주로 이루어지고 있었다. 동물실험에 관한 연구 동향 분석 결과 콜라겐은 차폐막 혹은 약물 전달 매체로서 주로 사용되고 있었고, 골형성단백질은 치조골이식술 혹은 임플란트 표면 코팅에 대한 효과가 연구되고 있었다. 결론: 연구 결과를 주제별로 분석하였을 때 주제별로 일관성 있는 결과를 얻기 어려웠으며, 보다 나은 결과를 얻기 위한 기계적 표면처리와 여러 세포외기질, 성장인자 등의 생체물질의 최상의 조합을 찾기 위한 노력이 진행중이었다. 연구가 초기단계에 머물고 있기 때문에 상용화에 이르기까지는 많은 시간과 노력이 필요할 것이다.
