The use ofstem cellsin the development of organ tissue engineering continues to develop and become a trend in the medical world.Periodontal regeneration, a treatment of periodontal abnormalities aimed to restore periodontal hard and soft tissue, is currently one of the promising treatment goals.Development ofstem cellsin periodontal field is commonly found because when damage occurred in the periodontal tissue, its ability to regenerate is very limited.
Many studies with biological approaches showed successful regeneration in various tissues and body organs and they can be prospective alternative to periodontal treatment.The technology is known astissue engineeringinvolving morphogenesis of new tissue with cell compatibility and molecular biology to repair and regenerate periodontium.
Stem Cellsin the Field of Dentistry
The development ofstem cellsin the field of dentistry is progressing rapidly.Many researches are conducted to deal with various abnormalities in the field of dentistry.Stem cellshave the ability to renew themselves, and they can differentiate into multipotent from ex vivo culture withplasticity while the potential ofstem cells can be divided intototipotent, pluripotent, multipotentandoligopotent / monopotent.
Current developments showed dentalstem cellshave shown great potential to improve periodontal tissue.Adultstem cellsarecurrently being developedfrom dentalstem cells.The teeth contain various types ofstem cellswhich are divided into two groups, the first group consisting ofDental Pulp Stem Cells (DPSCs): stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED),andadult dental pulp stem cells (ADPSCs). The second group isstem cells from the dental follicles (DFSCs)andperiodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs)and Human gingival-derived mesenchymal stem cells(GMSC).
Many studies have been conducted to producemesenchymal stem cellswith osteogenic potential.However, there is still little development for application in treatment, so it needs to be improved in clinical activities.The use ofscaffoldcombined withstem cellsneeds to be developed considering the ability ofstem cellsin the development oftissue engineering.
Furthermore, compared to MSCs derived from several other adult dental tissues such as DPSCs and PDLSCs, GMSCs reveal the same profile as cell surface molecules, with high proliferation rates, and increased population multiplication. It can be easily expanded to ex vivo for several cell-based clinical applications. This finding has provided evidence that human gingiva is easily accessed from the oral cavity or tissue samples removed due to several dental procedures, and could also function as a unique source of postnatal stem cells with potential therapeutic functions in tissue regeneration and repair.
Dental pulp which is widely used as a source ofstem cellshas been widely developed.Research conducted by Nam et al (2017) stated that DPSCs area potentialsource ofstem cellsand have the same characteristics as MSCs.The study showed that DPSCs have high potential for angiogenesis and are needed in the repair of organs with vascular damage.
The research carried out bystem cellFaculty of Dental Medicine UNAIRteamused a graph with SHED applied to mice experiment.The study showed significant bone growth markers such as BMP2, ALP, TGF-尾1 and Osteopntin.So it is very promising for development of bone.The use of graphs with SHED in periodontitis patients experiencing bone damage and evaluated through CBCT showed that bone growth was quite good.
The field of dentistry is a source of materials can be used in all fields of medicine.The development ofstem cellresearchat Faculty of Dental Medicine, 51动漫 has developed rapidly and needs to be followed up for its application in patients who need treatment in the periodontal and other fields.
