Definition

:
Periodontal regeneration is a technique that aims to regenerate the damaged tissue around periodontally compromised teeth. The regenerative process aims to use scaffolds, cells, and growth factors to enhance biological activity.

1. Introduction and History

Periodontitis is a multifactorial disease characterized by microbially-associated, host-mediated inflammation that results in loss of periodontal attachment, eventually leading to tooth loss [1]. Periodontitis is the sixth most prevalent disease for mankind [2] and is a public health problem since it is so widely prevalent, causes disability [3], and numerous clinical and experimental studies have shown the presence of an association between periodontitis and some systemic diseases, in particular cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, lung diseases, and pregnancy complications [4,5]. The goal of periodontal therapy is to arrest progressive attachment loss, through the control of infection, to prevent tooth loss [6]. Probing pocket depth reduction as a surrogate outcome variable is validated by data demonstrating lower risk for disease progression and tooth loss [7,8] associated with the absence of bleeding on probing [9,10]. Periodontal pockets related to intraosseous defects often remain after nonsurgical treatment and could increase risk of progressive periodontitis [11,12] and, as such, are often considered to require surgical intervention. Based on the studies of Melcher (1976) [13], who developed the concept of using barrier membranes to “guide” the biological process of wound healing, in the mid-1980s clinical reports showed that intraosseous defects have potential for healing through regeneration using barrier membranes [14,15]. Today we know which bio-clinical principles regulate periodontal regeneration: wound stability, space provision, and primary intention healing [16]. Many randomized controlled trials and systematic reviews have shown that periodontal regenerative therapies can achieve better treatment outcomes compared to open flap debridement in the treatment of angular defects [17,18,19]. Several techniques and biomaterials have been studied for periodontal regeneration of intraosseous defects, but from a histological and clinical point of view, guided tissue regeneration (GTR), enamel matrix derivatives (EMD), and decalcified freeze-dried bone allograft (DFDBA) are the most effective approaches to periodontal regeneration [20,21,22,23,24]. A recent consensus report of the American Academy of Periodontology recommended surgical intervention as the treatment of choice for intraosseous defects [25].

2. Techniques

Membrane exposure resulting in bacterial contamination during healing has been the major complication of regenerative procedures in the past, with a prevalence in the range of 50–100% [26,27]. Cortellini et al. [28] reported that the prevalence of membrane exposure could be significantly reduced with the use of access flaps specifically designed to preserve interdental tissues (the modified papilla preservation technique). The first papilla preservation technique was described by Takey et al. 1985 [29] and is used to prevent soft tissue collapse and to maintain stability during the regeneration phase (Figure 1).
In general, the development of new procedures has been aimed at complete preservation of the marginal tissue in order to obtain and maintain a primary closure above the applied regenerative material during the critical phases of healing. Specifically, the flap designs sought to achieve passive primary closure of the flap combined with excellent wound stability. Today, papilla-preserving flap designs and flap closure techniques are the standard approach for regenerative periodontal surgery (Figure 2).
The Modified Papilla Preservation (MPPT) technique was developed to increase the space for regeneration and to achieve and maintain primary flap closure in the interdental space [30]. MPPT allows primary closure of the interdental space, resulting in better protection of the membrane from the oral environment [28]. MMPT can be successfully applied at sites where the interdental space width is at least 2 mm in the most coronal portion of the papilla. When the interdental sites are narrower, a different papilla preservation procedure (the simplified papilla preservation flap, SPPF) has been proposed [31]. In the latter study, it was possible to close 100% of the narrow interdental papillae over resorbable membranes and 67% maintained primary closure over time, resulting in clinical attachment gains of 4.9 ± 1.8 mm. In order to further preserve wound stability and further limit morbidity, a papilla-preserving flap can be used in the context of a minimally invasive surgical technique associated with high-powered magnification systems [32]. The minimally invasive approaches (MIST, M-MIST) are particularly suitable in the case of therapies that involve the use of biologically active agents such as EMD or growth factors. The interdental papilla associated with the defect is made accessible using the Simplified Papilla Preserving Flap (SPPF) or Modified Papilla Preservation (MPPT) technique. All surgical procedures are performed with the aid of a microscope or a magnification system (4X–16X) and microsurgical instruments [33]. A further development in the microsurgical field was the single flap approach [34,35]. This therapeutic strategy, which is limited to reconstructive surgery of intraosseous defects, involves the dissection of a mucoperiosteum flap from a single side (exclusively vestibular or exclusively lingual/palatal). The application of the SFA is indicated only when the extension of the intraosseous defect is prevalent from the buccal or lingual/palatal side and access from one side only allows adequate surgical cleansing of the intraosseous lesion and the radiological surface affected by the defect. Aslan et al. proposed a novel surgical approach, the ‘‘entire papilla preservation (EPP)’’ technique, for regenerative treatment of isolated deep intraosseous defects [36]. This novel concept provides an intact gingival space over the intraosseous defect, with a completely preserved interdental papilla. A one-year prospective cohort study [37] with 12 isolated deep non-contained intraosseous defects treated with a combination of EMD and deproteinized bovine bone mineral showed 100% primary closure during the healing period and resulted in 6.83 mm of average clinical attachment gain.

3. Materials

Several studies have investigated the use of biomaterials and biologics in periodontal regeneration [38,39,40]. Various products are currently available on the market, including bone grafts, bone fillers, scaffolds, membranes, and growth factors (Figure 3).

3.1. Grafts and Fillers

Autogenous, allogeneic, xenogeneic bone substitutes, and synthetic materials are referred to as bone fillers, due to their capacity to narrow the gap of the periodontal defect. Osteoconduction, osteogenesis, and osteoinduction are the characteristics that enable cells to move in the defect, and to generate and induce the chemotaxis of other cells [41]. Not all of these properties are related to each biomaterial; however, osteoconduction is the most common property for bone fillers. According to Bosshardt and Sculean 2009 [42], the evaluation of biomaterials in periodontal regeneration should be histological rather than clinical, as the re-entry radiographs in several cases demonstrate an impressive volume gain. Indeed, a histological analysis might reveal the possible presence of fibrous encapsulation around bone grafts and a small portion of the newly formed bone in the proximity of pre-existing bone without any actual regeneration. Bovine xenografts, as opposed to biphasic calcium phosphate and bioactive glass, show unusual fibrous encapsulation [40,43,44]. Periodontal regeneration consists of the restoration of connective tissue attachment (CTA), cementum periodontal ligament, and proper bone. Evidence for new CTA remains limited and autogenous bone showed incomplete regeneration with a long junctional epithelium and little new CTA [45]; other considerations are the presence of a second surgical site and patient morbidity, which may hinder clinical procedures. The data on bone allografts are controversial; indeed, donor age and the site of origin might affect the regenerative potential [46]. A histological evaluation revealed the presence of a long junctional epithelium [47]. Regarding the demineralized freeze-dried allografts at the contrary to the freeze-dried allografts showed an evident and histologic periodontal regeneration [20]. However, in several countries in the European Union, regulations do not allow the use of these types of material. Xenografts and allogenic grafts showed a moderate periodontal regeneration with some new CTA; the CTA gain might be related to the use of membranes as barriers; indeed, encapsulation is recurrent for these types of filler (Figure 4) [48]. The disadvantage of these materials is the inability to regenerate and restore the CTA. Thus, using these materials is more suitable for a bone regeneration, and they are therefore commonly used in guided bone regeneration (GBR) [49].

3.2. Membranes

Membranes have been used since the introduction of the GTR concept [14,15]. As mentioned earlier, the principal aim is to select and isolate cells that are able to restore the periodontal ligament, cementum, and connective tissue. Guiding cells in the periodontal defect is the primary target and this is possible through the exclusion of epithelial cells, which have a fast turnover compared to osteoblasts and fibroblasts [50]. The ideal membrane should respect several principles:
  • Biocompatibility: the membrane should not activate an immune response or an acute inflammation, which may worsen the regenerative phase.
  • Cell-exclusion: it should act as a barrier and exclude specific types of cells.
  • Tissue integration: it should prevent the down-growth of epithelial cells and the encapsulation of the material.
  • Space-making: it should create and maintain space adjacent to the root surface, allowing the ingrowth of tissue from the periodontal ligament.
  • Clinical handling: it should be easy to handle.
There are several membranes on the market (Table 1):
  • Non-resorbable membranes are generally indicated in guided bone regeneration (GBR) or in situations of bone deficiency. They are no longer used in periodontal regeneration mainly because the introduction of minimal flaps does not allow the insertion of these unwieldy barriers. Titanium reinforced membranes and polytetrafluorethylene are the most common (Figure 5 and Figure 6). Nowadays, new technologies and the introduction of tissue engineering mean that the regenerative process is oriented towards the use of resorbable materials, avoiding the need for a second surgical phase [51,52].
  • Resorbable membranes are made from collagen, a natural substance that can be resorbed (Figure 7). Several types are available, and these differ in resorption time. As reported in Table 1, the fabrication of these membranes may or may not involve cross-linking [53]. The cross-linking process aims to reinforce the chemical bonds among the collagen fibers, and this results in a long resorption time. Collagen membranes have a low risk of exposure in the oral cavity, but due to their low mechanical stability, the use of bone substitutes or fillers is also required [42]. The use of membranes raises the potential for complications such as exposure, which could reduce the regenerative potential and allow the infiltration of bacteria and possible infection of the site [42].

3.3. Biologics

According to the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), biologics are a wide range of products, proteins, growth factors, or a complex combination of these substances used to treat various diseases or to enhance the regenerative process, as periodontal regeneration, via the activation and stimulation of periodontal cells [54]. Enamel matrix derivative (EMD), recombinant human platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF—BB), and bone morphogenic proteins (BMP) are currently available on the market. EMD is extracted from pigs and is treated to make it biocompatible and thus to reduce adverse reactions. This material is unique because it is only sold as Emdogain® (Straumann AG, Basel, Switzerland). Also, according to the literature, it is the only biomaterial that led to the complete reformation of the periodontal ligament in a histological evaluation [55]. Several studies suggest the use of EMD alone or in combination with bone fillers [56]. The first study to show the efficacy of this material was conducted by Heiji et al. in 1997, in which EMD was compared to open flap debridement of intraosseous defects [57]. EMD was associated with significant CAL gains and pocket depth reduction [57]. Another series of studies compared EMD to GTR with comparable results [58]. Interesting data came from a study by Cortellini et al. in which the use of EMD as an adjunct to minimally invasive techniques such as MIST improved stability, minimizing the post-surgical phase [59]. In terms of CAL gains, no relevant differences were found between EMD + MIST and MIST alone [59]. In summary, EMD showed comparable results to GTR; moreover, the potential complications of GTR might indicate EMD as a more reliable material with fewer complications and easy handling [60]. Nevertheless, the defect’s anatomy plays a crucial role in the regenerative potential of this molecule. PDGF-BB is a growth factor that is active in hard and soft tissue healing, enhancing cell proliferation, angiogenesis and migration [61]. The disadvantage is in its handling, which requires the use of scaffold and fillers [62]. Several studies have evaluated the use of this molecule as an adjunct to Beta-tricalcium phosphate (B-TCP), EMD, and bone allograft, with positive results for EMD and allograft [62]. BMP are proteins found in bone and showed bone regeneration in an animal model [63]. The most studied forms of this type of molecule are BMP-2, BMP-6, and BMP-12. Interesting data came from a study by Wikesjo et al. in a canine model, where the use of BMP-12 showed a regenerated and well-oriented periodontal ligament with newly formed bone and cementum [64]. On the other hand, complications associated with the use of these molecules include possible ankylosis or root resorption [63]. BMP and PDGF-BB are available in the United States but have not been approved for use in Europe. Other biologics that have been used in periodontal regeneration are the blood derivates, platelet rich fibrin (PRF) and its surrogates L-PRF and A-PRF, which showed promising results in the regeneration of periodontal defects and furcations [65]. Several in vitro studies analyzed the biocompatibility and the behavior of these materials in contact with the fibroblast of the periodontal ligament and showed the activation of cytoplasmatic extensions and an increase in cell volume [66]. Moreover, these biologics are natural and enriched with growth factors such as platelet-derived growth factors (PDGF), transforming growth factor β (TGF-β), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and insulin-like growth factor-1 (ILGF-1) that influence cellular differentiation and proliferation [66]. On the other hand, histological evidence regarding these types of biologics is still lacking.

3.4. Futures Biologics

Future potential biologics include several growth factors that have a specific function and are in experimental phase II and III of randomized clinical trials in human and canine studies. Protein 15 (P-15), osteogenic protein 1 (OP-1), parathormone (PTH), and anti-sclerostin antibodies (SOST) are under investigation. As shown in Table 2, several growth factors are already under investigation, but their use is always associated with a scaffold or bone filler.

3.5. Future Therapies

Therapies that are currently under development are based on the use of cells and 3D printing scaffolds [73]. Several articles have suggested the use of cell cultures in periodontal regeneration but their high cost and the need to involve specialist laboratories remain a crucial problem for dentists. Nevertheless, according to Trovato et al., the use of a micrograft (a collagen membrane enriched with stem cells) has potential in the regenerative process [74]. A recent review by Mummolo et al. suggested that micrografts in periodontal and bone regeneration are a good alternative to GTR or to other biomaterials such as bone substitutes [75]. However, they have some limitations due to the availability of progenitor cells in the tissue sample used, and the selection of the right scaffold as a carrier. Another promising therapy is related to the 3D printing technology; indeed, it is starting to enter the oral regenerative field with tailored scaffolds that can be customized for each type of defect. Rasperini et al. showed for the first time the possibility of using a 3D printed resorbable scaffold for a large osseous defect. The material used was a synthetic polymer enriched with recombinant human platelet derived growth factor BB (rhPDGF-BB) [76]. The 3D printing process allows the customization of the biomaterial respect to the defect type achieving a better handling and a tailored treatment. The possible complications reported in this case report were several such as the wound dehiscence, exposure and afterwards microbial contaminations. The most recent technique is the connective tissue graft (CTG) wall technique, introduced to suggest the use of CTG as a barrier in adjunct to EMD reducing gingival recession and in some cases the possible soft tissue restoration [77]. The advantages of this technique are the use of connective tissue as barrier preventing the exposure, reducing the complications and improving the soft tissue response. Moreover, the CTG positioned coronally respect to the defect seems to prevent the soft tissue collapsing. This technique according to the authors is reliable in deep intrabony defects with the absence of buccal bone (Figure 8). A disadvantage is the presence of a second surgical site on the palatal aspect for the CTG sampling and patient discomfort during the healing period.

4. Conclusions

Periodontal regeneration is an approach involving constant evolution, techniques, and biomaterials that are constantly being improved to achieve better performance. In conclusion, it is a promising approach for periodontally compromised patients.
