An essential factor in tooth nutritional deficits and aberrant root growth is pulp necrosis. Removing inflammatory or necrotic pulp tissue and replacing it with an inert material are the most widely used therapeutic concepts of endodontic treatment. However, pulp loss can lead to discoloration, increased fracture risk, and the reinfection of the damaged tooth. It is now anticipated that the pulp-dentin complex will regenerate through a variety of application methods based on human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSC). In order to create a photo-cross-linked gelatinized methacrylate hydrogel, GelMA/EUO-CDs-E (ECE), that is biodegradable and injectable for application, we created a novel nanoassembly of ECE based on eucommia carbon dots (EUO-CDs) and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). We then loaded it onto gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) hydrogel. We have evaluated the material and examined its and angiogenesis-promoting potential as well as its dentin differentiation-enabling characteristics. The outcomes of the experiment demonstrated that GelMA/ECE was favorable to cell proliferation and enhanced hDPSC's capacity for angiogenesis and dentin differentiation. The regeneration of vascular-rich pulp-like tissues was found to occur when hDPSC-containing GelMA/ECE was injected into cleaned human root segments (RS) for subcutaneous implantation in nude mice. This suggests that the injectable bioscaffold is appropriate for clinical use in pulp regenerative medicine.
牙髓坏死是牙齿营养缺乏和牙根异常生长的一个重要因素。去除炎症或坏死的牙髓组织并用惰性材料替代它是牙髓病治疗中应用最广泛的治疗理念。然而,牙髓丧失会导致牙齿变色、骨折风险增加以及受损牙齿的再次感染。现在预计牙髓 - 牙本质复合体将通过基于人牙髓干细胞(hDPSC)的多种应用方法实现再生。为了制备一种可生物降解且可注射应用的光交联凝胶化甲基丙烯酸酯水凝胶GelMA/EUO - CDs - E(ECE),我们基于杜仲碳点(EUO - CDs)和表没食子儿茶素没食子酸酯(EGCG)创建了一种新型的ECE纳米组装体。然后将其负载到甲基丙烯酰化明胶(GelMA)水凝胶上。我们对该材料进行了评估,并研究了其促进血管生成的潜力以及其促成牙本质分化的特性。实验结果表明,GelMA/ECE有利于细胞增殖,并增强了hDPSC的血管生成和牙本质分化能力。当将含有hDPSC的GelMA/ECE注入清洁后的人牙根段(RS)用于裸鼠皮下植入时,发现富含血管的牙髓样组织发生了再生。这表明这种可注射生物支架适用于牙髓再生医学的临床应用。
