Abstract
Dental tissue infections have been affecting millions of patients globally leading to pain, severe tissue damage, or even tooth loss. Commercial sterilizers may not be adequate to prevent frequent dental infections. Antimicrobial hydrogels have been introduced as an effective therapeutic strategy for endodontics and periodontics since they have the capability of imitating the native extracellular matrix of soft tissues. Hydrogel networks are considered excellent drug delivery platforms due to their high-water retention capacity. In this regard, drugs or nanoparticles can be incorporated into the hydrogels to endow antimicrobial properties as well as to improve their regenerative potential, once biocompatibility criteria are met avoiding high dosages. Herein, novel antimicrobial hydrogel formulations were discussed for the first time in the scope of endodontics and periodontics. Such hydrogels seem outstanding candidates especially when designed not only as simple volume fillers but also as smart biomaterials with condition-specific adaptability within the dynamic microenvironment of the defect site. Multifunctional hydrogels play a pivotal role against infections, inflammation, oxidative stress, etc. along the way of dental regeneration. Modern techniques (e.g., 3D and 4D-printing) hold promise to develop the next generation of antimicrobial hydrogels together with their limitations such as infeasibility of implantation.

Abstract
Periodontitis is the second most prevalent oral disease and can cause serious harm to human health. Hydrogels are excellent biomaterials that can be used for periodontitis as drug delivery platforms to achieve inflammation control through high drug delivery efficiency and sustained drug release and as tissue scaffolds to achieve tissue remodelling through encapsulated cell wrapping and effective mass transfer. In this review, we summarize the latest advances in the treatment of periodontitis with hydrogels. The pathogenic mechanisms of periodontitis are introduced first, followed by the recent progress of hydrogels in controlling inflammation and tissue reconstruction, in which the specific performance of hydrogels is discussed in detail. Finally, the challenges and limitations of hydrogels for clinical applications in periodontitis are discussed and possible directions for development are proposed. This review aims to provide a reference for the design and fabrication of hydrogels for the treatment of periodontitis.

Abstract
Oral and maxillofacial diseases have an important impact on local function, facial appearance, and general health. As a multifunctional platform, hydrogels are widely used in the biomedical field due to their excellent physicochemical properties. In recent years, a large number of studies have been conducted to adapt hydrogels to the complex oral and maxillofacial environment by modulating their pore size, swelling, degradability, stimulus-response properties, etc. Meanwhile, many studies have attempted to use hydrogels as drug delivery carriers to load drugs, cytokines, and stem cells for antibacterial, anticancer, and tissue regeneration applications in oral and maxillofacial regions. This paper reviews the application and research progress of hydrogel-based drug delivery systems in the treatment of oral and maxillofacial diseases such as caries, endodontic diseases, periodontal diseases, maxillofacial bone diseases, mucosal diseases, oral cancer, etc. The characteristics and applications of hydrogels and drug-delivery systems employed for the treatment of different diseases are discussed in order to provide a reference for further research on hydrogel drug-delivery systems in the future.

Abstract
Currently, it remains unclear which specific peptides could be appropriate for applications in different fields of dentistry. The aim of this scoping review was to scan the contemporary scientific papers related to the types, uses and applications of peptides in dentistry at the moment. Literature database searches were performed in the following databases: PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase, and Scielo. A total of 133 articles involving the use of peptides in dentistry-related applications were included. The studies involved experimental designs in animals, microorganisms, or cells; clinical trials were also identified within this review. Most of the applications of peptides included caries management, implant osseointegration, guided tissue regeneration, vital pulp therapy, antimicrobial activity, enamel remineralization, periodontal therapy, the surface modification of tooth implants, and the modification of other restorative materials such as dental adhesives and denture base resins. The in vitro and in vivo studies included in this review suggested that peptides may have beneficial effects for treating early carious lesions, promoting cell adhesion, enhancing the adhesion strength of dental implants, and in tissue engineering as healthy promotors of the periodontium and antimicrobial agents. The lack of clinical trials should be highlighted, leaving a wide space available for the investigation of peptides in dentistry.

[PMID: 36180310 PMCID: PMC9881689 DOI: 10.1016/j.dental.2022.09.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/14/2022] [Revised: 09/15/2022] [Accepted: 09/22/2022] [Indexed: 01/31/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Electrospun scaffolds are a versatile biomaterial platform to mimic fibrillar structure of native tissues extracellular matrix, and facilitate the incorporation of biomolecules for regenerative therapies. Self-assembling peptide P11-4 has emerged as a promising strategy to induce mineralization; however, P11-4 application has been mostly addressed for early caries lesions repair on dental enamel. Here, to investigate P11-4's efficacy on bone regeneration, polymeric electrospun scaffolds were developed, and then distinct concentrations of P11-4 were physically adsorbed on the scaffolds. METHODS P11-4-laden and pristine (P11-4-free) electrospun scaffolds were immersed in simulated body fluid and mineral precipitation identified by SEM. Functional groups and crystalline phases were analyzed by FTIR and XRD, respectively. Cytocompatibility, mineralization, and gene expression assays were conducted using stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth. To investigate P11-4-laden scaffolds potential to induce in vivo mineralization, an established rat calvaria critical-size defect model was used. RESULTS We successfully synthesized nanofibrous (∼ 500 nm fiber diameter) scaffolds and observed that functionalization with P11-4 did not affect the fibers' diameter. SEM images indicated mineral precipitation, while FTIR and XRD confirmed apatite-like formation and crystallization for P11-4-laden scaffolds. In addition, P11-4-laden scaffolds were cytocompatible, highly stimulated cell-mediated mineral deposition, and upregulated the expression of mineralization-related genes compared to pristine scaffolds. P11-4-laden scaffolds led to enhanced in vivo bone regeneration after 8 weeks compared to pristine PCL. SIGNIFICANCE Electrospun scaffolds functionalized with P11-4 are a promising strategy for inducing mineralized tissues regeneration in the craniomaxillofacial complex.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease caused by plaque that leads to alveolar bone resorption. In the treatment of periodontitis, it is necessary to reduce the bacterial load and promote alveolar bone regeneration. In this study, zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) is used in the treatment of periodontitis, and an injectable photopolymerizable ZIF-8/gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) composite hydrogel (GelMA-Z) is constructed. We confirm that ZIF-8 nanoparticles are successfully loaded into GelMA, which demonstrates fluidity and photopolymerizability. GelMA-Z continuously releases Zn2+ and shows good cytocompatibility. In vitro, GelMA-Z can effectively upregulate the expression of osteogenesis-related genes and proteins, increase alkaline phosphatase activity, promote extracellular matrix mineralization by rat bone mesenchymal stem cells, and exert an obvious antibacterial effect against Porphyromonas gingivalis. In vivo, GelMA-Z reduces the bacterial load, relieves inflammation and promotes alveolar bone regeneration in a rat model. The above results show that GelMA-Z has potential prospects in the treatment of periodontitis. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Various methods have been explored for the treatment of periodontitis. However, current regiments have difficulty achieving ideal alveolar bone regeneration. In this study, we constructed a zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8)/gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) composite hydrogel (GelMA-Z). (1) The injectable and photopolymerizable GelMA-Z showed biocompatibility in vitro and in vivo. (2) GelMA-Z continually released zinc ions to promote the osteogenic differentiation of bone mesenchymal stem cells and kill bacteria in vitro. (3) In a rat model, the GelMA-Z pregel solution was used to fill the periodontal pocket and then crosslinked by UV exposure. GelMA-Z can stably remain in the periodontal pocket to reduce the bacterial load, relieve inflammation and promote alveolar bone regeneration. In conclusion, GelMA-Z has great potential for use in the treatment of periodontitis, especially in promoting alveolar bone regeneration.

J Dent 2022; 121:104111. [PMID: 35460865 PMCID: PMC10171720 DOI: 10.1016/j.jdent.2022.104111] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2021] [Revised: 03/13/2022] [Accepted: 03/24/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Self-assembling peptide P11-4 is amphiphilic and pH-triggered, effective on repairing early enamel carious lesions and dentin remineralization. However, P11-4 effects on dentin biomineralization and repair ability remain unexplored. Thus, cytocompatibility and effectiveness of P11-4 on inducing mineralization and migration of odontoblast-like cells (MDPC-23) were investigated. METHODS MDPC-23 were seeded in contact with P11-4 (0.5 and 1 µg/ml), Dentin Matrix Protein 1 (DMP1 0.5 and 1 µg/ml) or Calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2 100 µg/ml) solutions. Cell viability was verified using MTT (n = 6/group). Mineral deposition was tested using Alizarin Red (n = 4/group). Cell migration was assessed by light microscopy (n = 2/group). MTT and Alizarin Red data were compared using Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney (α=0.01). RESULTS P11-4 (0.5 and 1 µg/ml) and DMP1 (0.5 and 1 µg/ml) resulted the highest cell viability; Ca(OH)2 presented the lowest. 1 µg/ml DMP1 and 1 µg/ml P11-4 promoted the highest mineral deposition. Ca(OH)2 presented lower values of mineral deposits than DMP1 1 µg/ml (p < 0.01), but similar to P11-4 1 µg/ml. P11-4 and DMP1 at 0.5 µg/ml induced lesser mineral precipitation than P11-4 and DMP1 at 1 µg/ml (p < 0.01), with no difference to Ca(OH)2. All materials stimulated cell migration, however, lower concentrations of DMP1 and P11-4 demonstrated a higher migration potential. CONCLUSION P11-4 did not affect cell viability, induces mineral deposition and MDPC-23 migration like DMP1. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Self-assembling peptide P11-4 does not affect the cell viability and induces mineral deposition comparable to native protein involved in biomineralization. Combined with its ability to bind type I collagen, P11-4 is a promising bioinspired molecule that provides native-tissue conditions and foster further studies on its ability to form dentin bridges in pulp-capping strategies.

Abstract
Objectives This study’s aim was to investigate the safety and performance of a self-assembling peptide matrix (SAPM) P11-4 for the treatment of periodontal disease in a controlled pre-clinical study. Materials and methods Acute buccal bony dehiscence defects (LxW: 5 × 3 mm) were surgically created on the distal root of four teeth on one mandible side of 7 beagle dogs followed by another identical surgery 8 weeks later on the contralateral side. SAPM P11-4 (with and without root conditioning with 24% EDTA (T1, T2)), Emdogain® (C) and a sham intervention (S) were randomly applied on the four defects at each time point. Four weeks after the second surgery and treatment, the animals were sacrificed, the mandibles measured by micro-computed tomography (µ-CT) and sections of the tissue were stained and evaluated histologically. Results Clinically and histologically, no safety concerns or pathological issues due to the treatments were observed in any of the study groups at any time point. All groups showed overall similar results after 4 and 12 weeks of healing regarding new cementum, functionality of newly formed periodontal ligament and recovery of height and volume of the new alveolar bone and mineral density. Conclusion A controlled clinical study in humans should be performed in a next step as no adverse effects or safety issues, which might affect clinical usage of the product, were observed. Clinical relevance The synthetic SAPM P11-4 may offer an alternative to the animal-derived product Emdogain® in the future.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a chronic infectious disease that destroys periodontal supportive tissues and eventually causes tooth loss. It is attributed to microbial and immune factors. The goal of periodontal therapy is to achieve complete alveolar bone regeneration while keeping inflammation well-controlled. To reach this goal, many single or composite biomaterials that produce antibacterial and osteogenic effects on periodontal tissues have been developed, which are called bifunctional biomaterials. In this review, we summarize recent progress in periodontal bifunctional biomaterials including bioactive agents, guided tissue regeneration/guided bone regeneration (GTR/GBR) membranes, tissue engineering scaffolds and drug delivery systems and provide novel perspectives. In conclusion, composite biomaterials have been greatly developed and they should be chosen with care due to the risk of selection bias and the lack of evaluation of the validity of the included studies.

Abstract
For over 20 years, peptide materials in their hydrogel or soluble fibril form have been used for biomedical applications such as drug delivery, cell culture, vaccines, and tissue regeneration. To facilitate the translation of these materials, key areas of research still need to be addressed. Their structural characterization lags compared to amyloid proteins. Many of the structural features designed to guide materials formation are primarily being characterized by their observation in atomic resolution structures of amyloid assemblies. Herein, these motifs are examined in relation to peptide designs identifying common interactions that drive assembly and provide structural specificity. Current efforts to design complex structures, as reviewed here, highlight the need to extend the structural revolution of amyloid proteins to peptide assemblies to validate design principles. With respect to clinical applications, the fundamental interactions and responses of proteins, cells, and the immune system to peptide materials are still not well understood. Only a few trends are just now emerging for peptide materials interactions with biological systems. Understanding how peptide material properties influence these interactions will enable the translation of materials towards current and emerging applications.

Abstract
Treatment of chronic wound infections caused by Gram-positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus is highly challenging due to the low efficacy of existing formulations, thereby leading to drug resistance. Herein, we present the synthesis of a nonimmunogenic cholic acid-glycine-glycine conjugate (A6) that self-assembles into a supramolecular viscoelastic hydrogel (A6 gel) suitable for topical applications. The A6 hydrogel can entrap different antibiotics with high efficacy without compromising its viscoelastic behavior. Activities against different bacterial species using a disc diffusion assay demonstrated the antimicrobial effect of the ciprofloxacin-loaded A6 hydrogel (CPF-Gel). Immune profiling and gene expression studies after the application of the A6 gel to mice confirmed its nonimmunogenic nature to host tissues. We further demonstrated that topical application of CPF-Gel clears S. aureus-mediated wound infections more effectively than clinically used formulations. Therefore, cholic acid-derived hydrogels are an efficacious matrix for topical delivery of antibiotics and should be explored further.

Abstract
The use of hydrogels has garnered significant interest as biomaterial and drug delivery platforms for anti-infective applications. For decades antimicrobial peptides have been heralded as a much needed new class of antimicrobial drugs. Self-assembling peptide hydrogels with inherent antimicrobial ability have recently come to the fore. However, their fundamental antimicrobial properties, selectivity and mechanism of action are relatively undefined. This review attempts to establish a link between antimicrobial efficacy; the self-assembly process; peptide-membrane interactions and mechanical properties by studying several reported peptide systems: β-hairpin/β-loop peptides; multidomain peptides; amphiphilic surfactant-like peptides and ultrashort/low molecular weight peptides. We also explore their role in the formation of amyloid plaques and the potential for an infection etiology in diseases such as Alzheimer's. We look briefly at innovative methods of gel characterization. These may provide useful tools for future studies within this increasingly important field.

Abstract
The security issue of human health is faced with dispiriting threats from multidrug-resistant bacteria infections induced by the abuse and misuse of antibiotics. Over decades, the antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) hold great promise as a viable alternative to treatment with antibiotics due to their peculiar antimicrobial mechanisms of action, broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, lower drug residue, and ease of synthesis and modification. However, they universally express a series of disadvantages that hinder their potential application in the biomedical field (e.g., low bioavailability, poor protease resistance, and high cytotoxicity) and extremely waste the abundant resources of AMP database discovered over the decades. For all these reasons, the nanostructured antimicrobial peptides (Ns-AMPs), based on a variety of nanosystem modification, have made up for the deficiencies and pushed the development of novel AMP-based antimicrobial therapies. In this review, we provide an overview of the advantages of Ns-AMPs in improving therapeutic efficacy and biological stability, reducing side effects, and gaining the effect of organic targeting and drug controlled release. Then the different material categories of Ns-AMPs are described, including inorganic material nanosystems containing AMPs, organic material nanosystems containing AMPs, and self-assembled AMPs. Additionally, this review focuses on the Ns-AMPs for the effect of biological activities, with emphasis on antimicrobial activity, biosecurity, and biological stability. The "state-of-the-art" antimicrobial modes of Ns-AMPs, including controlled release of AMPs under a specific environment or intrinsic antimicrobial properties of Ns-AMPs, are also explicated. Finally, the perspectives and conclusions of the current research in this field are also summarized.

Abstract
Infections caused by pathogenic microorganisms have always been the Achilles heel in the clinic. In this work, to overcome this conundrum, we proposed an injectable multifunctional hydrogel material with outstanding antibacterial properties and self-healing properties and no adverse effects on health. The cross-linked hydrogel with three-dimensional (3D) networks was quickly formed via the dynamic Schiff base between amino-modified poly-tetrahydropyrimidine (PTHP-NH2) and multiple vanillin polymer P(DMA-VA) in 30 s. This hydrogel composite presents effective defense against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, especially for the pyogenic Staphylococcus aureus. Moreover, the hydrogel showed almost no hemolysis and cytotoxicity. In vivo investigations indicated that hydrogels effectively killed S. aureus and protected against deterioration of inflammation. Besides, bioimaging of mice demonstrated that the hydrogel could be completely metabolized within 16 h. In a nutshell, given its outstanding antibacterial property and biocompatibility, the novel hydrogel could be an ideal candidate for the subcutaneous infection application.
