ABSTRACT We investigated the efficacy, safety, and clinical significance of trafermin, a recombinant human fibroblast growth factor (rhFGF)-2, for periodontal regeneration in intrabony defects Phase III trials. Study A, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, was conducted at 24 centers. Patients with periodontitis 4-mm 3-mm or deeper probing pocket depth defects, respectively, were included. A total 328 patients randomly assigned (2:1) to receive 0.3% rhFGF-2...
In-vitro data have shown that cross-linked hyaluronic acid (HA) enhances the proliferative and migratory properties of cells involved in periodontal wound healing/regeneration, stabilizes blood clot, reduces inflammatory response, facilitates angiogenesis. The aim this study was to histologically evaluate effects HA alone or combined with a collagen matrix (CM) on healing/regeneration intrabony defects.Two-wall defects (5 mm wide, 5 deep) were surgically created at distal mesial aspects...
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects acid-etched titanium on biological responses osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells. Four types treatments (polishing, sandblasting, concentrated H2SO4 etching, and etching with vacuum firing) were carried out surfaces commercially pure (cpTi) disks. cells then cultured treated cpTi surfaces. Through surface roughness measurement SEM analysis, it found that showed higher values than sandblasted ones. Scanning electron microscope analysis disks...

We investigated the prevalences and risk factors for peri-implant diseases in Japanese adult dental patients attending a follow-up visit at hospitals or clinics as part of their maintenance program. This cross-sectional multicenter study enrolled with implants who attended regular check-ups periodontal program during period from October 2012 through September 2013. Patients least 3 years loading time were included study. The condition tissue was examined classified into following categories:...
Abstract Aim To clinically and histologically evaluate in dogs the healing of gingival recessions treated with coronally advanced flap (CAF) or without cross‐linked hyaluronic acid (HA). Materials methods Gingival recession defects were surgically created on vestibular side both maxillary canines 8 dogs. After weeks plaque accumulation, 16 chronic randomly either CAF alone HA‐gel (CAF/HA). Clinical histological outcomes evaluated at 10 post‐surgically. Results Compared to baseline, clinical...
To histologically evaluate the effects of cross-linked hyaluronic acid (xHyA) with or without a collagen matrix (CM) on periodontal wound healing/regeneration in class III furcation defects dogs.Class were surgically created mandibular premolars six beagle dogs. The randomly treated as follows: open flap debridement (OFD) + CM (CM), OFD xHyA (xHyA), (xHyA/CM) and alone (OFD). At 10 weeks, animals euthanized for histological evaluation.The newly formed bone areas (4.04 ± 1.51 mm2 ) xHyA/CM...
Abstract In this study, near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy, a measurement method not widely used in dentistry, was to monitor the synthesis of calcium phosphate cement. Tetra and di dihydrate were mixed at Ca/P ratio 1.67, water added dropwise induce phase transition HAp. The reaction conditions evaluated by measuring NIR spectra every minute for 60 min 20 24 h. obtained analyzed using singular value decomposition. synthesized apatite characterized XRD, FT-IR, SEM. self-setting cement system,...
Objective and background: It is not well known how periodontopathic bacteria colonize in the oral cavity during childhood. The purpose of this study was to investigate distribution cavities children their parents relationship between bacterial findings clinical parameters. Methods: Fifty‐six (mean age: 8.3 ± 3.5, range: 1–15 years), including 15 with deciduous dentition, 26 mixed dentition permanent participated study. Whole saliva dental plaque whole were collected for detection seven...
It has been reported that both prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and Er:YAG laser irradiation accelerate wound healing. The stimulatory action of seems to occur during the proliferative stage healing by stimulation cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), which are crucial early mediators in natural process. We have then investigated effect on PGE2 production COX-2 gene expression human gingival fibroblast vitro.Cultured fibroblasts were exposed low-power with an energy density 3.37 J/cm2. amount was measured...
Tannerella forsythia is an anaerobic, Gram-negative bacterium involved in the so-called "red complex," which associated with severe and chronic periodontitis. The surface layer (S-layer) of T. composed cell glycoproteins, such as TfsA TfsB, known to play a role adhesion/invasion suppression proinflammatory cytokine expression. Here we investigated association this S-layer serum resistance coaggregation other oral bacteria. growth S-layer-deficient mutant bacterial medium containing more than...
Periodontal disease is assessed and its progression determined via observations on a site-by-site basis. data are complex structured in multiple levels; thus, applying summary statistical approach (i.e., the mean) for site-level evaluations results loss of information. Previous studies have shown availability mixed effects modeling. However, clinically beneficial information periodontal during follow-up period not available. We conducted multicenter prospective cohort study. Using modeling,...

Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)9 has been reported to be the most potent BMP induce bone formation. However, details of BMP9‐transduced intracellular signaling remain ambiguous. Here, we have investigated signal transduction mechanisms BMP9 in comparison BMP2, another inducer formation, osteoblasts. In a mouse osteoblast cell line, induced higher mRNA levels alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and runt‐related transcription factor 2 (Runx2) than BMP2 within h. Unlike rapid phosphorylation glycogen...
Abstract Objectives To evaluate periodontal wound healing following scaling and root planing (SRP) in conjunction with the application of sodium hypochlorite/amino acids cross-linked hyaluronic acid (xHyA) gels dogs.

The experimental surfaces subjected to SRP either subgingival a gel xHyA (test group) or alone (control...
Abstract Periodontal ligament (PDL) is a thin fibrous connective tissue located between two mineralized tissues, alveolar bone and cementum, which maintains constant width physiologically. The mechanisms by PDL resists mineralization are not well understood. Twist basic helix loop protein that plays central role in regulation of early osteogenesis. We investigated the localization compared expression osteoblast‐related genes cells with those osteoblast‐like presence or absence recombinant...
Destruction of cementum and alveolar bone is the main causative event for exfoliation teeth as a consequence periodontitis. Prostaglandin E 2 (PGE ) PGE receptor subtypes (EPs) play an important role in modulating osteoblast-mediated osteoclastogenesis; however, no information available on EPs regulating cementoblast-mediated cementoclastogenesis. We hypothesized that -EPs pathway also regulates cementoblasts’ ability to activate cementoclasts. For these studies, OCCM-30 cells (a mouse...
