title: Comparison of different tissue-derived stem cell sheets for periodontal regeneration in a canine 1-wall defect model.
abstract: Cytotherapeutic approaches have been investigated to overcome the limitations of existing procedures for periodontal regeneration. In this study, cell sheet transplantation was performed using three kinds of mesenchymal tissue (periodontal ligament, alveolar periosteum, and bone marrow)-derived cells to compare the differences between cell sources in a canine severe defect model (one-wall intrabony defect). Periodontal ligament cells (PDLCs), iliac bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (BMMSCs), and alveolar periosteal cells (APCs) were obtained from each dog; a total of four dogs were used. Three-layered cell sheets of each cell source supported with woven polyglycolic acid were autologously transplanted to the denuded root surface. One-wall intrabony defects were filled with a mixture of β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) and collagen. Eight weeks after the transplantation, periodontal regeneration was significantly observed with both newly formed cementum and well-oriented PDL fibers more in the PDLC group than in the other groups. In addition, nerve filament was observed in the regenerated PDL tissue only in the PDLC group. The amount of alveolar bone regeneration was highest in the PDLC group, although it did not reach statistical significance among the groups. These results indicate that PDLC sheets combined with β-TCP/collagen scaffold serve as a promising tool for periodontal regeneration.
