Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess the ability of two new calcium silicate-based pulp-capping materials (Biodentine and BioAggregate) to induce healing in a rat pulp injury model and to compare them with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA). Materials and Methods: Eighteen rats were anesthetized, cavities were prepared and the pulp was capped with either of ProRoot MTA, Biodentine, or BioAggregate. The specimens were scanned using a high-resolution micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) system and were prepared and evaluated histologically and immunohistochemically using dentin sialoprotein (DSP). Results: On micro-CT analysis, the ProRoot MTA and Biodentine groups showed significantly thicker hard tissue formation (p < 0.05). On H&E staining, ProRoot MTA showed complete dentin bridge formation with normal pulpal histology. In the Biodentine and BioAggregate groups, a thick, homogeneous hard tissue barrier was observed. The ProRoot MTA specimens showed strong immunopositive reaction for DSP. Conclusions: Our results suggest that calcium silicate-based pulp-capping materials induce favorable effects on reparative processes during vital pulp therapy and that both Biodentine and BioAggregate could be considered as alternatives to ProRoot MTA.

본 연구에서는 DSP (dentin sialoprotein)에서 유래된 합성 펩타이드를 동물실험 모델에 적용하여 치수노출 부위에서 상아질 재생을 확인하고, 기존 치 수복조제와의 성능 비교를 통해 새로운 치수복조제로서의 가능성을 확인하고자 하였다. 6마리 비글견의 73개의 치아를 이용하여, 실험적으로 치수를 노출하고 직접 치수 복조술을 시행하였다. 사용한 치수복조제는 (1) $Ca(OH)_2$ (CH군) (2) DSP유도 합성 펩타이드 (PEP군) (3) 합성 펩타이드와 $Ca(OH)_2$ 혼합제 (PEP+CH군) (4) White MTA (WMTA군) 이다. 노출된 치수에 치수복조제를 적용한 후 와동은 강화형 글라스 아이오노머로 충전하였다. 시술 후 2주, 1 개월 및 3개월에 각각 2마리씩 비글견을 희생시키고 조직시편을 제작하였다. 시편은 H&E 염색 후 광학 현미경으로 치수 염증 반응과 경조직 형성 정도를 관찰하였다. PEP군에서는 17개의 시편 중 3 개의 시편에서만 경조직 형성을 관찰할 수 있었으며, 대부분의 시편에서 적절한 치수 회복을 관찰할 수 없었다. PEP군은 CH군에 비해 심한 염증반응을 보이고, 경조직 형성은 불량하였다. CH군과 WMTA군은 기계적으로 노출된 치수에서의 염증반응과 경조직 형성에 있어서 유사한 결과를 보였다.

The development and repair requires the formation of new tissues comprised of various extracellular matrix components. The present study investigated the formation and distribution of the major ECM components such as type I collagen, type III collagen, fibronection, bone sialoprotein, and osteonection during development and repair. For developing observation. Sprague-Dawley rats weighing $27{\pm}1gm$ were sacrificed. For repair observation, Sprague-Dawley rats weighing $110{\pm}5gm$ were used. The pulp perforation were prepared on mesial surface of the maxillary first molar by using 1/2round bur. At 5 days after perforation, rats were sacrificed by perfusion with 3 % paroformaldehyde. The maxillary first molar region were cut, demineralized, dehydrated and embedded in paraffin. Immunostaining the ECM components was achieved by the avidin-biotin complex method. The results as follows : 1. Bright immunoreaction for fibronectin was present in the basement membrane at the inner epithelial-mesenchymal interface, especially concentrated in the blood vessel walls, cell membrane of odontoblasts, and initial predentin. 2. Type I and III collagen was observed in the newly formed pulp tissue, predentin, and its intensity increased as more of these components during repair. 3. Strong immunostaining for bone sialoprotein and osteonectin was found in dentin while no or weaker staining was observed loose connective tissue of the pulp. 4. These results suggest that develpment and repair is achieved through a series of cell differentiation and attachment by the specific ECM components.

치아 치수 세포는 치아 손상에 따르는 병리적인 상황에서 골과 상아질 기질을 형성하는 능력을 가진 것으로 생각된다. 본 연구에서는 MTA가 사람 치수세포의 성장에 미치는 영향과 상아질 형성에 관여하는 유전자의 발현을 유도하는지를 알아보고자 하였다. 또한 상아질 형성의 잠재적 지표인 alkaline phosphatase(ALP) activity에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 유전자 발현 검사를 위해 glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, type I collagen, alkaline phosphatase, osteonectin(SPARC), and dentin sialoprotein primer set을 이용하여 MTA 처리 2일과 4일 후 reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR)을 시행하였다. cell viability assay(세포 생존력 측정) 에서 5일간 MTA에 노출된 치수 세포의 비율이 대조군보다 높았다. 대조군에 비해 MTA를 처리한 군에서 ALP와 SPARC가 증가되었다. 이상의 결과를 종합하여 보면, 이 연구에 사용한 dental pulp culture system은 MTA를 포함한 치과재료의 처리 후 치수세포의 성장과 분화 그리고 상아질 형성 유도 기전을 연구하는 데 유용한 모델로 사용할 수 있다. MTA 처리는 사람 치수세포에 세포독성을 유도하지 않으며, ALP 활성도와 유전자 발현 그리고 osteonectin (SPARC) 유전자 발현을 증가시켜 수복상아질을 형성할 것으로 사료된다.

본 연구는 상아모세포의 분화와 상아질 형성과정에서 필수적인 인자로 알려진 NFI-C가 상아모세포 기질단백질의 발현에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여, MDPC-23 상아모세포에 NFI-C 유전자를 과발현 시키거나 발현억제시킨 후 상아질 기질단백질 유전자들의 발현을 RT-PCR로 분석한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. MDPC-23 세포에서 NFI-C mRNA는 NFI-C 과발현후에 현저히 증가하였으며, NFI-C 발현억제 후에는 감소하였다. 2. NFI-C가 과발현된 MDPC-23 세포는 NFI-C 단백질이 핵과 세포질에서 뚜렷이 관찰되었으나, NFI-C 발현이 억제된 MDPC-23 세포에서는 NFI-C 단백질의 발현이 대조군에 비하여 현저히 감소하였다. 3. NFI-C 발현이 억제된 MDPC-23 세포는 대조군에 비하여 I형 아교질, OC, 및 DSPP mRNA의 발현은 감소하였으나 BSP의 발현은 증가하였다. ALP와 DMP4의 발현은 NFI-C 발현억제 후에도 변화가 없었다. 4. NFI-C가 과발현된 MDPC-23 세포에서는 ALP와 DMP4 mRNA의 발현은 대조군에 비하여 증가하였으며 I형 아교질, OC, DSPP, 및 BSP의 발현은 감소하였다.

Objectives: In recent in vitro study, it was reported that osteostatin (OST) has an odontogenic effect and synergistic effect with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) in human dental pulp cells. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate whether OST has a synergistic effect with MTA on hard tissue formation in vivo. Materials and Methods: Thirty-two maxillary molars of Spraque-Dawley rats were used in this study. An occlusal cavity was prepared and the exposed pulps were randomly divided into 3 groups: group 1 (control; ProRoot MTA), group 2 (OST 100 μM + ProRoot MTA), group 3 (OST 10 mM + ProRoot MTA). Exposed pulps were capped with each material and cavities were restored with resin modified glass ionomer. The animals were sacrificed after 4 weeks. All harvested teeth were scanned with micro-computed tomography (CT). The samples were prepared and hard tissue formation was evaluated histologically. For immunohistochemical analysis, the specimens were sectioned and incubated with primary antibodies against dentin sialoprotein (DSP). Results: In the micro-CT analysis, it is revealed that OST with ProRoot MTA groups showed more mineralized bridge than the control (p < 0.05). In the H&E staining, it is showed that more quantity of the mineralized dentin bridge was formed in the OST with ProRoot MTA group compared to the control (p < 0.05). In all groups, DSP was expressed in newly formed reparative dentin area. Conclusions: OST can be a supplementary pulp capping material when used with MTA to make synergistic effect in hard tissue formation.

For the regeneration of periodontal tissues, the microenvironment for new attachment of connective tissue fibers should be provided, At this point of view, cementum formation in root surface plays a key role for this new attachment. This study was performed to figure out which factor promotes differentiation of cementoblast Considering anatomical structure of tooth, we selected the cells which may affect the differentiation of cementoblast - Ameloblast, OD11&MDPC23 for odontoblasts, NIH3T3 for fibroblsts and MG63 for osteoblasts. And OCCM30 was selected for cementoblast cell line. Then, the cell lines were cultured respectively and transferred the conditioned media to OCCM30. To evaluate the result, Alizarin red S stain was proceeded for evaluation of mineralization. The subjected mRNA genes are bone sialoprotein(BSP), alkaline phosphate(ALP) , osteocalcin(OC), type I collagen(Col I), osteonectin(SPARC ; secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine). Expression of the gene were analysed by RT-PCR, The results were as follows: 1. For alizarin red S staining, control OCCM30 didn't show any mineralized red nodules until 14 days. But red nodules started to appear from about 4 days in MDPC-OCCM30 & OD11-OCCM30. 2. For results of RT-PCR, ESP mRNAs of control-OCCM30 and others were expressed from 14 days, but in MDPC23-OCCM30 & OD11-OCCM30 from 4 days. Like this, the gene expression of MDPC23-OCCM30 & OD11-OCCM30 were detected much earlier than others. 3. For confirmation of odontoblast effect on cementoblast, conditioned media of osteoblasts(MG63) which is mineralized by producing matrix vesicles didn't affect on the mineralized nodule formation of cementoblasts(OCCM30). This suggest the possibility that cementoblast mineralization is regulated by specific factor in dentin matrix protein rather than matrix vesicles. Therefore, we proved that the dentin/odontoblast promotes differentiation/mineralization of cementoblasts. This new approach might hole promise as diverse possibilities for the regeneration of tissues after periodontal disease.
