Abstract

Background: Teeth have potential as bone graft materials because of their organic and inorganic components that can stimulate osteoinduction, osteoconduction, and osteogenesis. An important success indicator of treatment using this graft material is the formation of osteoblast and new blood vessels in the applied area. Purpose: To investigate the number of osteoblast, osteoclast, and new blood vessels in bone healing after the implantation of tooth-derived bone graft materials measuring 20, 40, and 60 mesh. Methods: Thirty-six Wistar rats with a 2 mm defect on the right femoral dextra condile were divided into four groups. P0 (n=9) was the control group, where the defect was not filled by any material. In the other groups, the defects were filled by 20-mesh (P1; n=9), 40-mesh (P2; n=9), and 60-mesh (P3; n=9) tooth graft material. The Wistar rats were sacrificed after 2 weeks, and then the preparations were hematoxylin eosin staining. The data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance and Tukey’s post hoc test. Results: The highest number of osteoblast was in the P3 group with a mean of 49.67, highest number of new blood vessels in the P2 group with a mean of 39.89, and highest number of osteoclast in the P1 group with a mean of 20.44. Statistical analysis showed a significant difference in the number of new blood vessels, osteoclast, and osteoblast in each group (p=0.000; p<0.05). Conclusion: Particle size differences in tooth graft material affect osteogenesis and angiogenesis in the bone healing process.

Abstract

Periodontal dressings can contribute to plaque accumulation, which in turn may cause inflammation, irritation of healing tissues, bacteremia, and difficulties in eating. Advances in knowledge and technology have improved the materials used in these dressings, aiming to enhance effectiveness and minimize complications. High-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid (HMW-HA) is a promising dressing material because of its anti-inflammatory properties and its ability to promote epithelial regeneration. This study aimed to determine whether different concentrations of HMW-HA gel influence vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression and angiogenesis during gingival wound healing in white rats (Rattus norvegicus) of the Wistar strain. A total of 42 rats were divided into seven groups: a negative control group (K1), a positive control group (K2) treated with 0.2% Gengigel®, and five treatment groups (P1–P5) receiving HMW-HA gel at concentrations of 0.2%, 0.4%, 0.6%, 0.8%, and 1%, respectively. Standardized 2 mm wounds were created with a punch biopsy on the lower anterior jaw of each rat. Treatments were administered twice daily for seven days. VEGF expression and angiogenesis were evaluated using immunohistochemical and hematoxylin–eosin staining. The group treated with 1% HA gel (P5) showed the highest average VEGF expression and angiogenesis compared with the negative control and lower-concentration treatment groups. These findings suggest that topical application of HMW-HA gel may enhance gingival wound healing in periodontal surgery by promoting angiogenesis and increasing VEGF expression.

Abstract

Background: The use of a bone graft in bone regeneration is challenging. Tooth graft material has been used as a bone graft alternative due to its similar composition of organic and inorganic materials close to the bone. Recently, nanotechnology has been used to improve bone graft quality. The osteoconduction rate in the defect area represents the bone graft quality. Purpose: This study aimed to compare the number of osteoblasts using nano-tooth grafts and micro-tooth grafts in Wistar rats. Methods: Wistar rats were divided into six groups: the negative control groups (examined on days 7 and 14), the micro-tooth graft groups (examined on days 7 and 14), and the nano-tooth graft groups (examined on days 7 and 14). The control group received nothing, the micro-tooth group received a micro-size tooth graft, and the nano-tooth graft group received a nano-size tooth graft on the injured femur. Histological observations of osteoblasts were carried out using a light microscope with 1000x magnification. Data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance and least significant difference tests. Results: On day 7, the nano-tooth graft group showed a higher osteoblast number (11.75) than the micro-tooth graft group (7.5) (p = 0.039). There was no significant difference in the micro-tooth graft group compared to the control (p > 0.05). On day 14, the nano-tooth graft group showed a decrease in osteoblast number close to normal (control) (p > 0.05), while the micro-tooth graft group still experienced significant elevation. Conclusion: Nano-tooth grafts accelerate the stimulation of osteoblasts in the first stages of the healing process compared to micro-tooth grafts.
