Use of injectable hydrogels attract attention in the regeneration of dental pulp due to their ability to fill non-uniform voids such as pulp cavities. Here, gelatin methacrylate/thiolated pectin hydrogels (GelMA/PecTH) carrying electrospun core/shell fibers of melatonin (Mel)-polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA)/Tideglusib (Td)-silk fibroin (SF) were designed as an injectable hydrogel for vital pulp regeneration, through prolonged release of Td and Mel to induce proliferation and odontoblastic differentiation of dental pulp stem cells (DPSC). H NMR and FTIR confirmed methacrylation of Gel and thiolation of Pec. Addition of PMMA/SF increased degradation and water retention capacities of GelMA/PecTH. Rheological analyses and syringe tests proved the injectability of the hydrogel systems. Release studies indicated that Td and Mel were released from the fibers inside the hydrogels sequentially due to their specific locations. This release pattern from the hydrogels resulted in DPSC proliferation and odontogenic differentiation in vitro. Gene expression studies showed that the upregulation of DMP1, DSPP, and Axin-2 genes was promoted by GelMA/PecTH carrying PMMA/SF loaded with Mel (50 mu g/mL) and Td (200 nM), respectively. Our results suggest that this hydrogel system holds promise for use in the regeneration of pulp tissue.

Use of tissue engineered oral restoration products is currently a popular approach for treating dental defects that adversely affect oral health in ageing populations. Among scaffolds composed of long-lasting porous ceramics and biodegradable natural or synthetic polymers with varying service lives, injectable hydrogels attract attention to regenerate dental pulp due to the capability of filling non-uniform voids such as pulp cavity. In this study, two types of injectable hydrogels were formulized by design...
Effects of hydrogen peroxide bleaching on human dentin and enamel microstructure and function
Gökduman, Kurtuluş; Severcan, Feride; Department of Biotechnology (2005)
In recent years bleaching of vital teeth has become popular among both dentist and patients. Different bleaching agents were used for this purpose. They are either applied professionally at high dose (office bleaching) or by patient at lower dose (home bleaching). In the present work we studied the effects of a high concentration bleaching agent (35% hydrogen peroxide), and a low concentration bleaching agent (17% carbamide peroxide) on human enamel and dentin using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectro...

Dental pulp regeneration strategies mainly focus on treating infected pulp and aiding pulp tissue formation mainly with scaffold aided approach. Incorporating a particulate delivery system like solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) in a polymeric scaffold is an effective strategy for delivering bioactive agents in a sustained manner. In this thesis, it was aimed to develop an injectable hydrogel containing antimicrobial agent (Amoxicillin, AMOX) and regenerative bioactive agent loaded solid lipid nanoparticles fo...
In vitro evaluation of injectable Tideglusib-loaded hyaluronic acid hydrogels incorporated with Rg1-loaded chitosan microspheres for vital pulp regeneration

Injectable systems receive attention in endodontics due to the complicated and irregular anatomical structure of root canals. Here, injectable Tideglusib (Td)-loaded hyaluronic acid hydrogels (HAH) incorporated with Rg1loaded chitosan microspheres (CSM) were developed for vital pulp regeneration, providing release of Td and Rg1 to trigger odontoblastic differentiation of human dental pulp stem cells (DPSC) by Td and vascularization of pulp by Rg1. The optimal concentrations were determined as 90 nM and 50 m...

For materials used in the production of dental and orthopedic implants or scaffolds for bone tissue regeneration, the properties such as capacity to enhance cell attachment and proliferation, and antimicrobial activity to prevent biofilm formation are very important to improve the clinical utility of the material. In this study, poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (PCL) sponges with antimicrobial activity were prepared by incorporating gentamicin loaded beta-tricalcium phosphate (beta-TCP)-Gelatin microspheres, and ...
