Laminin 332-functionalized coating to regulate the behavior of keratinocytes and gingival mesenchymal stem cells to enhance implant soft tissue sealing. Regen Biomater 2022; 9:rbac054. [PMID: 36072266 PMCID: PMC9438747 DOI: 10.1093/rb/rbac054] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/02/2022] [Revised: 06/21/2022] [Accepted: 07/10/2022] [Indexed: 11/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Peri-implant epithelial sealing is the first line of defense against external pathogens or stimuli; hence, an essential process to prevent peri-implantitis. Laminin 332 (LN332) is the main component of the internal basal lamina and participates in peri-implant epithelial sealing by forming hemidesmosomes (HDs) with integrin α6β4. In this work, poly (D, L-lactide) (PDLLA)-LN332 composite coating was successfully constructed by a method similar to layer-by-layer assembly, displaying staged LN332 release for as long as 28 days. The PDLLA-LN332 composite coating can activate the intracellular PI3K-Akt pathway via binding to cellular integrin α6β4, which can promote adhesion, migration and proliferation of HaCaT cells and further enhance the expression of keratinocyte HD-related molecules, including integrin α6β4, LN332 and plectin. Furthermore, the PDLLA-LN332 composite coating can promote the adhesion, spreading and proliferation of gingival mesenchymal stem cells and accelerate their epithelial differentiation. Therefore, the PDLLA-LN332 composite coating can enhance implant soft tissue sealing, warranting further in vivo study.

Assessment of the Soft-Tissue Seal at the Interface between the Base of the Fixed Denture Pontic and the Oral Mucosa. MATERIALS 2021; 14:ma14143997. [PMID: 34300915 PMCID: PMC8306894 DOI: 10.3390/ma14143997] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2021] [Revised: 07/12/2021] [Accepted: 07/13/2021] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
Fixed dentures (bridges) are often selected as a treatment option for a defective prosthesis. In this study, we assess the contact condition between the base of the pontic and oral mucosa, and examine the effect of prosthetic preparation and material biocompatibility. The molars were removed and replaced with experimental implants with a free-end type bridge superstructure after one week. In Experiment 1, we assessed different types of prosthetic pre-treatment: (1) the untreated control group (Con: mucosa recovering from the tooth extraction); (2) the laser irradiation group (Las: mucosa recovering after the damage caused by a CO2 laser); and (3) the tooth extraction group (Ext: mucosa recovering immediately after the teeth extraction). In Experiment 2, five materials (titanium, zirconia, porcelain, gold-platinum alloy, and self-curing resin) were placed at the base of the bridge pontic. Four weeks after the placement of the bridge, the mucosa adjacent to the pontic base was histologically analyzed. In Experiment 1, the Con and Las groups exhibited no formation of an epithelial sealing structure on the pontic base. In the Ext group, adherent epithelium was observed. In Experiment 2, the sealing properties at the pontic interface were superior for titanium and the zirconia compared with those made of porcelain or gold-platinum alloy. In the resin group, a clear delay in epithelial healing was observed.

[PMID: 33676764 DOI: 10.1016/j.dental.2021.02.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 67] [Impact Index Per Article: 22.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/17/2020] [Revised: 01/03/2021] [Accepted: 02/10/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The success of a dental implant system not only depends on appropriate osseointegration at the bone-implant interface, but also on robust soft-tissue integration (STI)/muco-integration at the transmucosal region. However, numerous studies have reported that the STI quality of conventional smooth and bio-inert titanium-based transmucosal components is significantly inferior to that of natural teeth, which may compromise the long-term success of implant restorations. In this review article, we discuss the structural and histological characteristics of peri-implant tissues; compare the roles of various cells residing in the transmucosal region and explore the material-based challenges that must be addressed to achieve early establishment and long-term maintenance of STI. METHODS This extensive review article critically compares and contrasts the findings from articles published in the domain of 'soft-tissue integration around Ti dental implants'. RESULTS Histological characteristics, including poorer epithelial attachment and absence of direct collagen-implant/abutment integration, are responsible for the inferior STI strength around dental implants/abutments. Furthermore, various cellular functions during STI establishment and maturation at the abutment-mucosa interface must be modulated to achieve early STI. Moreover, we discuss and detail the challenges of achieving robust STI, including the presence of oral bacterial milieu, as well as material and corrosion related issues. Finally, research challenges towards achieving and maintaining robust STI are discussed, targeting the future directions to enhance the long-term survival of implant restorations. SIGNIFICANCE Based on its histological characteristics, STI on current implant/abutment surfaces is suboptimal compared to the periodontal attachment found at teeth, making implants potentially more susceptible to disease initiation and progression. To obtain stable STI at the trasmucosal region, it is essential for future studies to design customized implant systems, with enhanced surface bioactivity and tailorable therapeutic capacity, which can improve the long-term success of implant restorations, especially in compromised conditions.

Insulin improves osteogenesis of titanium implants under diabetic conditions by inhibiting reactive oxygen species overproduction via the PI3K-Akt pathway. Biochimie 2014; 108:85-93. [PMID: 25308835 DOI: 10.1016/j.biochi.2014.10.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/13/2014] [Accepted: 10/02/2014] [Indexed: 10/24/2022]
Abstract
Clinical evidence indicates that insulin therapy improves implant survival rates in diabetic patients; however, the mechanisms responsible for this effect are unknown. Here, we test if insulin exerts anti-oxidative effects, thereby improving diabetes-associated impaired osteoblast behavior on titanium implants. To test this hypothesis, we cultured primary rabbit osteoblasts in the presence of titanium implants and studied the impact of treatment with normal serum (NS), diabetic serum (DS), DS + insulin, DS + tempol (a superoxide dismutase mimetic), DS + insulin + tempol, and DS + insulin + wortmannin. We analyzed cell function, apoptosis, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in osteoblasts following the various treatments. Treatment with DS induced osteoblast dysfunction, evidenced by impaired cell attachment and morphology, decreased cell proliferation and ALP activity, and decreased expression of osteogenesis-related genes. We also observed a significant increase in apoptosis. Importantly, treatment with DS resulted in increased production of ROS in osteoblasts. In contrast, treatment with insulin inhibited ROS production, alleviated cell dysfunction, and decreased apoptosis of osteoblasts on the implants. Scavenging ROS with tempol also attenuated cell dysfunction. Compared to insulin treatment alone, the combination of insulin and tempol failed to further improve osteoblast functional recovery. Moreover, the anti-oxidative and pro-osteogenic effects afforded by insulin were almost completely abolished by the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor wortmannin. These results demonstrate, for the first time, that insulin treatment alleviates the impaired osteogenesis of titanium implants under diabetic conditions by inhibiting ROS overproduction via a PI3K/Akt-dependent mechanism. Both the anti-oxidative and metabolic properties of insulin should make it a viable therapeutic option to combat diabetic implant failure.
