title: [Periodontal tissue in a bio-implant by periodontal ligament cells sheet and bone marrow stromal cells sheet].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To fabricate the bio-implant supported by regenerated periodontal tissue utilizing periodontal ligament cells (PDLC)-bone marrow stromal cells (BMSC) sheet and natural root.
  
  
  METHODS
  Premolars of 2 beagle dogs were extracted to prepare the implanted area. Autologous tooth roots were carved into cylinders. PDLC and BMSC separated from beagle dogs were cultured into cell sheets in medium. Tooth roots were wrapped by one type of cell sheets or both to fabricate bio-implant and divided into four groups, tooth roots were wrapped by PDLC sheets and BMSC sheets successively (2 samples each dog), tooth roots were wrapped by PDLC sheets alone (2 samples each dog), tooth roots were wrapped by BMSC sheet alone (2 samples each dog), tooth roots without cell sheet (1 sample each dog). The implants were implanted into the mandibles. The mandibles were dissected 12 weeks later, sliced and stained by HE and Masson dyes for histological examination.
  
  
  RESULTS
  In the PDLC cell sheet/root implants, histological examination revealed that new periodontal-like tissue including cementum, periodontium and alveolar bone was regenerated.In the BMSC implants, tooth ankylosis was observed.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  PDLC sheet and natural root can be used to fabricate bio-implant. PDLC sheet could promote periodontal regeneration.
