Summary: Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease that can lead to tooth loss. This study examined the role of surface microtopography in the differentiation of human dental pulp stem cells into cementoid-like secreting cells. The results showed that the cells cultured on dentin surfaces exhibited an odontoblastic phenotype, while cells cultured on cementum surfaces generated a well-organized tissue consisting of secretory cells and dense fibrous connective tissue.

Summary: Porphyromonas gingivalis, a bacteria associated with endodontic pulpitis, can inhibit the regenerative potential of dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) through the production of metabolites. Among these metabolites, C29H46N7O18P3S-4 exhibits the strongest inhibitory effect on the Wnt4 protein, leading to alterations in protein structure and stability.

Summary: This study found that in human dental pulp stem cells, Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS) significantly enhances the expression of inflammatory cytokines, while Porphyromonas gingivalis LPS has no effect on this. Escherichia coli LPS increases the expression of TLR4 in dental pulp stem cells, while Porphyromonas gingivalis LPS has no effect on the expression of TLR2 or TLR4.

Summary: The study demonstrates that shikonin can induce odontoblastic differentiation of dental pulp stem cells through the involvement of the AKT-mTOR signaling pathway and CD44. While CD44 expression is crucial for odontoblastic differentiation of dental pulp stem cells, the relationship between shikonin-induced expression of DSPP and the AKT-mTOR signaling pathway and CD44 expression remains to be fully elucidated.

Summary: In this study, it was found that RvE1 promotes pulp inflammation resolution and dentin regeneration, and positively influences the proliferation, chemotaxis, and differentiation of LPS-stimulated hDPSCs. The effects of RvE1 on DPSCs were mediated at least partially through AKT, ERK, and rS6-associated signaling in the inflammatory microenvironment. RvE1 shows promising application potential in regenerative endodontics.

Summary: The use of nanotitania derived from titanium in the oral cavity may exacerbate the onset of peri-implantitis, and the presence of periodontal pathogens could further worsen the condition. These findings suggest that titanium materials may play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of peri-implantitis.

Summary: This study found that cannabidiol enhances the proliferation, migration, and osteogenic/odontogenic differentiation of dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs). CBD also exhibits anti-inflammatory, chemotactic, anti-microbial, and tissue regenerative potentials. These findings suggest the potential application of CBD in dental pulp and bone regeneration based on DPSCs.

Summary: This study investigated the response of human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) to Porphyromonas gingivalis and Enterococcus faecalis and the impact of residual bacteria on dental pulp regeneration. The results showed that hDPSCs differentiated into mineralization-related cells in the presence of P. gingivalis and fibroblast-like cells in the presence of E. faecalis. The study provides insights into the pathogenesis of pulpitis and periapical periodontitis.

Summary: In recent years, there has been growing interest in using undifferentiated mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for treating bone defects in vivo. Dental pulp has been identified as a promising source of pluripotent MSCs for various clinical applications. Research has shown that the bone-like hard tissue generated from odontoblast-like cells induced from dental pulp stem cells combined with honeycomb tricalcium phosphate (TCP) has potential for absorption-resistant hard tissue repair and regeneration.

Summary: The presence of periodontal diseases is closely related to other chronic inflammatory conditions such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and arthritis. Studies show that periodontal tissue inflammation affects the production and activation of polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs), contributing to a hyperinflammatory response in the body. This systemic effect of PD on immune response can exacerbate inflammatory reactions when faced with secondary infections, highlighting the complex interactions between PD and other inflammatory diseases.

Summary: More than 700 bacterial species live in the oral cavity, producing a wide range of bioactive metabolites crucial for oral health maintenance. Next-generation sequencing has revolutionized our understanding of the oral microbiome and its significance in health and disease. However, research on unique oral microbial metabolites is still limited. This article discusses the importance of microbial metabolites in oral health and disease, as well as the potential of genomics and genome mining in discovering novel bioactive metabolites from the human oral microbiome.
