A computer-designed scaffold for bone regeneration within cranial defect using human dental pulp stem cells

Abstract: A computer-designed, solvent-free scaffold offer several potential advantages such as ease of customized manufacture and in vivo safety. In this work, we firstly used a computer-designed, solvent-free scaffold and human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) to regenerate neo-bone within cranial bone defects. The hDPSCs expressed mesenchymal stem cell markers and served as an abundant source of stem cells with a high proliferation rate. In addition, hDPSCs showed a phenotype of differentiated osteoblasts in the prese… Show more

“…This multipotency, in addition to their relative accessibility, made DPSCs an appealing source of cells for application in regenerative medicine [ 15 18 ]. In fact, several papers have proved their superiority in different aspects, including osteogenic differentiation [ 19 , 20 ], which supported their use for regeneration of craniofacial defects [ 21 , 22 ], as well as alveolar bone defects [ 23 , 24 ]. Additionally, the similar embryonic origins of dental pulp cells and periodontal cells [ 25 ] and their presence within protective layers of tooth structure have encouraged their use for periodontal tissue regeneration [ 26 , 27 ].…”

“…Our previous work demonstrated the controllable biodegradability of PCLA over a period ranging from days to a few weeks [13,14]. The degradation can be controlled by varying attributes such as the molecular weight and composition of polyesters.…”

“…In previously published work, we reported the controllable biodegradability and excellent biocompatibility of a poly( ε -caprolactone-co- l -lactide) (PCLA) random copolymer [13,14,15]. The PCLA can ideally degrade over a period ranging from days to a few weeks [13].…”

“…To study the local bone formation using hDPSCs and SHED, cranial defects were created in rats on 11 manuscri-pts, 25 , 35 , 40 , 41 , 44 , 48 , 49 , 51 , 55 , 56 in mice on 4 manuscripts, 17 , 42 , 59 , 72 and in only one manuscript they were made on rabbits. 61 Furthermore, 10 studies created maxillary and mandibular bone defects 29 , 45 , 46 , 52 , 53 , 58 , 60 , 62 , 65 , 69 to assess the potential of hDPSCs for bone tissue engineering.…”
