Chios gum mastic enhance the proliferation and odontogenic differentiation of human dental pulp stem cells.
Korean J Physiol Pharmacol
September 2024
Article Synopsis
- - Dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) are easy to collect and have a higher growth rate than bone marrow stem cells, making them useful for regenerating teeth and nerves.
- - Chios gum mastic (CGM) is a natural resin that can enhance the growth and differentiation of human DPSCs by promoting key proteins involved in the cell cycle and odontogenic processes.
- - The study found that CGM treatment led to increased cell proliferation, activated important differentiation markers, and improved the mineralization process in DPSCs, highlighting its potential for tissue engineering applications.
The role of kaempferol-induced autophagy on differentiation and mineralization of osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells.
BMC Complement Altern Med
August 2016
Background: Kaempferol, a kind of flavonol, has been reported to possess various osteogenic biological activities, such as inhibiting bone resorption of osteoclasts and promoting the differentiation and mineralization of preosteoblasts. However, the precise cellular mechanism of action of kaempferol in osteogenesis is elusive. Autophagy is a major intracellular degradation system, which plays an important role in cell growth, survival, differentiation and homeostasis in mammals.

J Korean Assoc Oral Maxillofac Surg
February 2013
Objectives: This study sought to evaluate the effect of simultaneous application of arthrocentesis and occlusal splint.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective study of 43 patients (3 males, 40 females) whose symptoms had improved was conducted at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Dong-A University Hospital between 2008 and 2010. Subjects were divided into three groups: Group A (17 patients with arthrocentesis and occlusal splints simultaneously applied), Group B (13 patients whose symptoms did not improve with occlusal splints, undergoing arthrocentesis after occlusal splint use for 8 weeks), and Group C (13 patients that only used occlusal splints).
A comparative study of the effectiveness of sinus bone grafting with recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein 2-coated tricalcium phosphate and platelet-rich fibrin-mixed tricalcium phosphate in rabbits.
Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol Oral Radiol
May 2012
Objectives: The objective of this histologic study was to evaluate platelet-rich fibrin (PRF)-mixed tricalcium phosphate (TCP) and recombinant human bone morphogenic protein 2 (rhBMP-2)-coated TCP in their potential to enhance bone regeneration in sinus elevation in rabbits as well as in their inflammatory features.
Study Design: Bilateral round-shaped defects (diameter 8.0 mm) were formed in the maxillary anterior sinus walls of 36 New Zealand white rabbits.
