    Background/Objectives: Malocclusion in primary dentition affects permanent dentition. However, the factors contributing to malocclusion in the oral cavities of children have not been fully elucidated. We hypothesized that environmental factors affect malocclusion in the primary dentition of the Japanese population and aimed to identify factors associated with anterior occlusion in primary dentition. Methods: The study involved 3793 parent-child pairs from the Miyagi Regional Centre as part of a supplementary survey to the Japan Environment and Children's Study, a cohort study. A questionnaire assessing oral development and environmental factors was administered to parent-child pairs who consented to participate. Parents assessed anterior occlusion when their children were 3.5 years old. Results: The maxillary primary central incisors tended to erupt earlier in the open bite group. Significantly more children in this group were breastfed until 1 year and drank ionic beverages at 1.5 years. In addition, thumb sucking or pacifier use was significantly common at 2 years of age. A correlation was observed between the mother's body mass index (BMI) before and after pregnancy and anterior occlusion. Conclusions: In the open bite group, the occlusion status of the anterior teeth at 3.5 years of age showed distinctive results influenced by the eruption period of the primary anterior teeth, oral habits, intake of sweetened beverages, and maternal BMI. These findings suggest that parental observation could be useful for screening children for malocclusion until the eruption of permanent dentition.

    BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Dedifferentiated fat cells (DFATs) isolated from mature adipocytes have a multilineage differentiation capacity similar to mesenchymal stem cells and are considered as promising source of cells for tissue engineering. Bone morphogenetic protein 9 (BMP9) and low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) have been reported to stimulate bone formation both in vitro and in vivo. However, the combined effect of BMP9 and LIPUS on osteoblastic differentiation of DFATs has not been studied. METHODS AND RESULTS: After preparing DFATs from mature adipose tissue from rats, DFATs were treated with different doses of BMP9 and/or LIPUS. The effects on osteoblastic differentiation were assessed by changes in alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, mineralization/calcium deposition, and expression of bone related genes; Runx2, osterix, osteopontin. No significant differences for ALP activity, mineralization deposition, as well as expression for bone related genes were observed by LIPUS treatment alone while treatment with BMP9 induced osteoblastic differentiation of DFATs in a dose dependent manner. Further, co-treatment with BMP9 and LIPUS significantly increased osteoblastic differentiation of DFATs compared to those treated with BMP9 alone. In addition, upregulation for BMP9-receptor genes was observed by LIPUS treatment. Indomethacin, an inhibitor of prostaglandin synthesis, significantly inhibited the synergistic effect of BMP9 and LIPUS co-stimulation on osteoblastic differentiation of DFATs. CONCLUSIONS: LIPUS promotes BMP9 induced osteoblastic differentiation of DFATs in vitro and prostaglandins may be involved in this mechanism.

    AIM: To evaluate periodontal wound healing/regeneration of one-wall intra-bony defects treated with recombinant human fibroblast growth factor-2 (rhFGF-2) and beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP), carbonate apatite (CO3 Ap), or deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM) in dogs. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The stability of rhFGF-2 adsorbed onto the bone substitutes was evaluated by Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). One-wall intra-bony defects (5 × 5 × 5 mm) created in five adult male beagle dogs were treated with rhFGF-2 alone (rhFGF-2), rhFGF-2 with β-TCP (rhFGF-2/β-TCP), rhFGF-2 with CO3 Ap (rhFGF-2/CO3 Ap), or rhFGF-2 with DBBM (rhFGF-2/DBBM). Histological outcomes (e.g., linear length of new cementum adjacent to the newly formed bone with inserting collagen fibres [NA] as the primary outcome) were evaluated at 10 weeks post surgery. RESULTS: Significantly higher amount of rhFGF-2 was adsorbed onto CO3 Ap compared with β-TCP. Among the treatment groups, the rhFGF-2/DBBM group showed the highest amount of periodontal tissue regeneration. The rhFGF-2/DBBM group showed significantly greater formation of NA (3.22 ± 0.40 mm) compared with rhFGF-2 (1.17 ± 1.00 mm, p < .01) group. Additionally, new bone area in the rhFGF-2/DBBM group (9.78 ± 2.30 mm2 ) was significantly higher than that in the rhFGF-2 (5.08 ± 1.26 mm2 , p < .01), rhFGF-2/β-TCP (5.91 ± 1.27 mm2 , p < .05), and rhFGF-2/CO3 Ap (6.51 ± 1.49 mm2 , p < .05) groups. Slight ankylosis was found in the rhFGF-2/β-TCP (1/9 sites), rhFGF-2/CO3 Ap (3/10 sites), and rhFGF-2/DBBM (1/9 sites) groups. CONCLUSIONS: Within their limitations, the present data indicate that DBBM seems to be a suitable carrier for rhFGF-2 and that rhFGF-2/DBBM treatment promotes favourable periodontal regeneration compared with rhFGF-2, rhFGF-2/β-TCP, and rhFGF-2/CO3 Ap treatments in one-wall intra-bony defects.

    OBJECTIVE: The aim of this in vitro study was to investigate the expression of SARS-CoV-2 entry and processing genes in human gingival fibroblasts (HGnF) following treatment with Porphyromonas gingivalis-derived lipopolysaccharide (PgLPS) or inflammatory cytokines/mediators. DESIGN: We assessed the expression of SARS-CoV-2 entry and processing genes; angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), cellular serine proteases transmembrane serine protease 2 (TMPRSS2), Furin, and basigin (BSG) in HGnF by real-time PCR. To further asses the contribution of PgLPS and inflammatory cytokines/mediators to proliferation and SARS-CoV-2 entry and processing gene expression, HGnF were treated with PgLPS, IL1β, TNFα, and PGE2. RESULTS: The expression for ACE2 in HGnF was significantly elevated after PgLPS or IL1β, TNFα, PGE2 treatment. The expression of TMPRSS2 was increased by PgLPS, IL1β, or PGE2 while BSG was elevated by PgLPS and IL1β. The expression of BSG and FURIN decreased after TNFα treatment. CONCLUSION: SARS-CoV-2 entry and processing genes are expressed in human gingival fibroblasts and their expressions are altered by PgLPS, IL1β, TNFα and PGE2 treatment.

    PURPOSE: To histologically compare the effects of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) produced using different protocols on periodontal wound healing/regeneration in periodontal defects in dogs. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Dehiscence-type gingival recession and two-wall intrabony defects were created bilaterally in the maxillary canines and mandibular premolars, respectively, in four beagle dogs. The recession defects were randomly treated with coronally advanced flap (CAF) alone, CAF and PRF produced via fixed-angle centrifugation (F-PRF; Leukocyte and PRF (L-PRF) protocol) or CAF and PRF produced via horizontal centrifugation (H-PRF). After 2 weeks, the two-wall intrabony defects were randomly treated as follows: open flap debridement (OFD), OFD + F-PRF, OFD + H-PRF and OFD + heated albumin with PRF using bio-heat technologies (Alb-PRF). Eight weeks after the 2nd reconstructive surgery, the animals were euthanised for histological evaluation. RESULTS: In the PRF-applied defects, new bone and new cementum formation occurred to varying degrees regardless of the protocols used to produce PRF. Particularly in the two-wall intrabony defects, new bone formation extended from the host bone toward the coronal region of the defects in the H-PRF applied sites compared with those in the OFD, F-PRF and Alb-PRF groups, and the H-PRF group showed the greatest amount of newly formed cementum. CONCLUSION: PRF induced periodontal regeneration in gingival recession and two-wall intrabony defects in dogs. Further studies are needed to determine the optimal protocol for obtaining predictable periodontal regeneration in periodontal defects in humans.

    ABSTRACT Particle‐induced osteolysis is caused by an imbalance in bone resorption and formation, often leading to loss of implant fixation. Bone remodeling biomarkers may be useful for identification of osteolysis and studying pathogenesis, but interpretation of biomarker data could be confounded if local osteolysis engenders systemic bone remodeling. Our goal was to determine if remote bone remodeling contributes to biomarker levels. Serum concentrations of eight biomarkers and bone remodeling rates at local (femur), contiguous (tibia), and remote (humerus and lumbar vertebra) sites were evaluated in a rat model of particle‐induced osteolysis. Serum CTX‐1, cathepsin K, PINP, and OPG were elevated and osteocalcin was suppressed in the osteolytic group, but RANKL, TRAP 5b, and sclerostin were not affected at the termination of the study at 12 weeks. The one marker tested longitudinally (CTX‐1) was elevated by 3 weeks. We found increased bone resorption and decreased bone formation locally, subtle differences in contiguous sites, but no differences remotely at 12 weeks. Thus, the skeletal response to local particle challenge was not systemic, implying that the observed differences in serum biomarker levels reflect differences in local remodeling. © 2014 Orthopaedic Research Society.

    <h4>Objective</h4>Use of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) is becoming a common clinical approach to enhance bone repair. There is little or no information in the literature on the dose of rhBMP-2 required for effective healing of critical-sized defects such as those associated with trauma. In this study, we used a segmental defect model to assess the dose response of rhBMP-2 using quantitative and qualitative endpoints.<h4>Methods</h4>Femoral defects in rats were replaced with absorbable collagen sponges carrying rhBMP-2 (0, 1, 5, 10 or 20 μg; N=5). At 4-weeks new bone formation was assessed using quantitative (radiography and microcomputed tomography) and qualitative (histology and backscattered-SEM) endpoints statistically compared.<h4>Results</h4>rhBMP-2 showed increased bridging in the gap. Quantitative evaluation presented a bi-phasic dose response curve. Histological assessment revealed that with rhBMP-2 the defect showed the presence of spongy bone with the trabeculae layered with active osteoblasts and osteoclasts. The density and compactness of the bone varied with the dose of rhBMP-2.<h4>Conclusions</h4>Our findings revealed that all doses of rhBMP-2 result in new bone formation. However, there is an optimum dose of 12 μg of rhBMP-2 for bone repair in this model, above which and below which less stimulation of bone occurs.

    Growth and differentiation factors (GDF) 5, 6, and 7 are known to play roles in tendon and ligament formation, and are therefore probably involved in the formation of periodontal ligament. In this study, we sought to determine temporal and spatial expression of GDF-5, -6, and -7 mRNA in developing periodontal tissue of rat molars using in situ hybridization. GDF gene expression in the periodontal ligament was first detected in cells associated with the initial process of periodontal ligament fiber bundle formation. Gene signals were also detected in cells located along the alveolar bone and cementum surfaces, the insertion sites of periodontal ligaments, during the course of root formation. GDF expression in these cells were down-regulated after completion of root formation. Our results appeared to suggest the involvement of GDF-5, -6, and -7 in the formation of the dental attachment apparatus.

    ARONJは難治性かつ進行性の慢性炎症性疾患で未だに病態は不明なことが多く、治療法も確立していない。細菌感染がその発症、進展に重要な役割を果たしてい ることは明らかであるが、その原因となる菌種等は同定されていない。 今年度は歯周病原因菌であり、ARONJにも深く関わっていると思われるStreptococcus gordoniiに対して毒性のあるファージを単離することを試み、以下の研究結果を得た。S. gordoniiに対する毒性バクテリオファージ(ΦSG005)は当院歯科排水溝から採取された廃液中に発見された。ΦSG005は電子顕微鏡分析によってポドウイルス科の特徴である短く非収縮性の尾と長頭の構成を認め、turbidity reduction assayにおいて、S.gordoniiに対して効率的な殺菌効果を示した。また全ゲノム配列決定により、21のコード配列を持つ16,127bpのDNAゲノムを持っていることが示された。ΦSG005ゲノムにインテグラーゼなどのプロファージ関連要素は同定されておらず、ウイルスが毒性のあるファージであることを示した。系統発生分析は、ΦSG005が連鎖球菌ウイルスの中で明確なクレードを形成し、連鎖球菌ウイルスC1の隣に位置していることを示し、分子特性はΦSG005ゲノムに抗CRISPR(Acr)IIA5様タンパク質が存在することを明らかにした。これらの発見はストレプトコッカスウイルスの理解を促し、 歯周病やARONJなどS. gordonii感染が関わっている疾患に対するファージ療法の開発に貢献すると考えられた。

    Aging is a phenomenon that affects all tissues in the body and causes deterioration in maintaining tissue homeostasis and wound healing ability. At present, most studies related to periodontal tissue regeneration have rarely verified the effect of aging in regenerated tissues and individuals. In this study, we analyzed whether the expression of growth differentiation factor 6 (GDF6), which is one of the growth factors expressed in periodontal tissue, is affected by the aging of human periodontal ligament cells and the expression of proteins related to aging. From this study, it is considered that GDF6 is involved in the aging of periodontal tissue.

    Periodontitis is a globally prevalent inflammatory disease that causes destruction of periodontal tissues. In the past 4 decades, a variety of procedures, including bone grafting, guided tissue regeneration, and the use of growth factors (GFs) have been performed either alone or in combination to accomplish periodontal regeneration. More recently, tissue engineering technologies using scaffolds, GFs and cells have been reported for regenerative medicine. However, all current approaches have been shown to have variable outcomes and limitations. To obtain favorable periodontal healing, there is an ongoing need to develop more reasonable therapeutics based on self-repair capacity in injured periodontal defects where the progenitor/stem cells from neighboring tissues can be recruited for in situ periodontal regeneration. Thus, a novel periodontal regenerative therapy using rhBMP9, bone perforation, and low-intensity pulsed ultrasound that avoid cell transplantation was developed.

    The purpose of this study was development of new regenerative therapy for lost bone tissues due to periodontal and oral disease by using FK506 together with BMP-9 for signal molecules and stem cells (ADSC) and dedifferentiated fat cells(DFAT) which derived from adipose tissue as a source of cell transplant. In vitro study demonstrated that BMP-9 and FK506 costimulation induces promotion of osteoblasts-like differentiation in both rat ADSC and rat DFAT. Furthermore , we demonstrated that rDFAT cells culture supernatant of BMP-9 and FK506 costimulation have bone regenerative potential in rat calvarial defects model.

    We found that CEMP-1 expression was enhanced by stimulating mesenchymal stem cells with enamel matrix protein (EMD). The expression of CEMP-1 involves the transcription factor HIF-1. We found that stimulation of periodontal ligament fibroblasts (HPDLF) with EMD raises HIF-1 transcriptional activity. One target molecule of HIF-1 is SDF-1. Since SDF-1 induces mesenchymal stem cells, we investigated its production. We found that SDF-1 production increased when HPDLF were stimulated with EMD. Therefore, SDF-1 may promote periodontal regeneration by induction of mesenchymal stem cells. EMD and SDF-1 are expected to be applied to dental implant treatment.

    Recently, osteocytes have been reported to play an important role in bone metabolism which indicates osteocytes may play a role in periodontal disease. In this project, we determined the mechanism how lipopolysaccharide isolated from Porphyromonas gingivalis(Pg-LPS)induced cytokine production by osteocytes. We further performed global analyses for Pg-LPS induced gene expression. Current findings suggest involvement of osteocytes in advanced periodontal disease with alveolar bone resorption by inducing cytokine production in response to periodontal pathogen.

    For establishment of alveolar ridge augmentation using orthodontics, closed corticotomy that was a method to move teeth effectively was tested. In results, it was able to confirm a constant effect because teeth could be moved 5mm for 14 weeks. However, it is necessary to use thicker wire and to put on net so that dogs does not bite breeding cage for preventing teeth from moving slantingly. Also, the combination of the implant anchor should have examined an anchor because teeth for the fixation caused anchorage loss. The study of alveolar ridge augmentation using orthodontics will be tested in consideration of the above-mentioned points.
