To date, autogenous grafts are considered the gold standard but present critical drawbacks. These shortcomings have driven recent research on craniomaxillofacial bone reconstruction to focus on synthetic grafts with distinct materials and fabrication techniques. Among the various fabrication methods, additive manufacturing (AM) has shown significant clinical potential. AM technologies build three-dimensional (3D) objects with personalized geometry customizable from a computer-aided design. These layer-by-layer 3D biomaterial structures can support bone formation by guiding cell migration/proliferation, osteogenesis, and angiogenesis. Additionally, these structures can be engineered to degrade concomitantly with the new bone tissue formation, making them ideal as synthetic grafts. This review delves into the key advances of bioceramic grafts/scaffolds obtained by 3D printing for personalized craniomaxillofacial bone reconstruction. In this regard, clinically relevant topics such as ceramic-based biomaterials, graft/scaffold characteristics (macro/micro-features), material extrusion-based 3D printing, and the step-by-step workflow to engineer personalized bioceramic grafts are discussed. Importantly, in vitro models are highlighted in conjunction with a thorough examination of the signaling pathways reported when investigating these bioceramics and their effect on cellular response/behavior.

In this work, we investigated the functions of Nogo-A during tooth development to determine its role in dental physiology and pathology. Using immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization techniques, we showed that Nogo-A is highly expressed in the developing mouse teeth and, most specifically, in the ameloblasts that are responsible for the formation of enamel. Using both <i>Nogo-A</i> knockout and <i>K14-Cre;Nogo-A fl/fl</i> transgenic mice, we showed that Nogo-A deletion in the dental epithelium leads to the formation of defective enamel. This phenotype is associated with overexpression of a set of specific genes involved in ameloblast differentiation and enamel matrix production, such as <i>amelogenin</i>, <i>ameloblastin</i> and <i>enamelin</i>. By characterising the interactome of Nogo-A in the dental epithelium of wild-type and mutant animals, we found that Nogo-A directly interacts with molecules important for regulating gene expression, and its deletion disturbs their cellular localisation. Furthermore, we demonstrated that inhibition of the intracellular, but not cell-surface, Nogo-A is responsible for gene expression modulation in ameloblasts.

Our previous single-cell profile and RNAscope for odontoblast lineage revealed that cyclic adenosine monophosphate responsive element-binding protein 3 like 1 (Creb3l1) was specifically enriched in the terminal differentiated odontoblasts. In this study, deletion of Creb3l1 in the Wnt1+ lineage led to insufficient root elongation and dentin deposition. Assay for transposase-accessible chromatin with high-throughput sequencing (ATAC-seq) and RNA sequencing were performed to revealed that in CREB3L1-deficient mouse dental papilla cells (mDPCs), the genes near the closed chromatin regions were mainly associated with mesenchymal development and the downregulated genes were primarily related to biological processes including cell differentiation, protein biosynthesis and transport, all of which were evidenced by a diminished ability of odontoblastic differentiation, a significant reduction in intracellular proteins, and an even greater decline in extracellular supernatant proteins. Dentin matrix protein 1 (Dmp1), dentin sialophosphoprotein (Dspp), and transmembrane protein 30B (Tmem30b) were identified as direct transcriptional regulatory targets. TMEM30B was intensively expressed in the differentiated odontoblasts, and exhibited a significant decline in both CREB3L1-deficient odontoblasts in vivo and in vitro. Deletion of Tmem30b impaired the ability of odontoblastic differentiation, protein synthesis, and protein secretion in mDPCs. Moreover, overexpressing TMEM30B in CREB3L1-deficient mDPCs partially rescued the extracellular proteins secretion.

Factors that need to be considered for management in laxation injuries include the maturation stage of the traumatic teeth, mobility, direction of displacement, distance of displacement, and whether there are alveolar fractures. In avulsion, the maturation stage of the permanent tooth, the out-socket time, storage media/condition of the avulsed tooth, and management of the PDL should also be considered.

The circadian clock mechanisms in brain and peripheral tissues can oscillate independently or be synchronized/disrupted by external stimuli. Dental enamel is a type of mineralized tissue that forms the exterior surface of the tooth crown. Incremental Retzius lines are readily observable microstructures of mature tooth enamel that indicate the regulation of amelogenesis by circadian rhythms. Teeth enamel is formed by enamel-forming cells known as ameloblasts, which are regulated and orchestrated by the circadian clock during amelogenesis. This review will first examine the key roles of the circadian clock in regulating ameloblasts and amelogenesis. Several physiological processes are involved, including gene expression, cell morphology, metabolic changes, matrix deposition, ion transportation, and mineralization. Next, the potential detrimental effects of circadian rhythm disruption on enamel formation are discussed. Circadian rhythm disruption can directly lead to Enamel Hypoplasia, which might also be a potential causative mechanism of amelogenesis imperfecta.

Through culturing of hepatocytes, myocytes, and adipocytes, and feeding mice P. gingivalis orally, the functional correlation between P. gingivalis and IR occurrence was further studied both in vitro and in vivo. Clinical data suggested that the amount of P. gingivalis isolated was correlated with the Homeostatic Model Assessment for IR score. In vitro studies suggested that coculture with P. gingivalis decreased glucose uptake and insulin receptor (INSR) protein expression in hepatocytes, myocytes, and adipocytes. Mice fed P. gingivalis tended to undergo IR. P. gingivalis was detectable in the liver, skeletal muscle, and adipose tissue of experimental mice. The distribution sites of gingipain coincided with the downregulation of INSR. Gingipain proteolysed the functional insulin-binding region of INSR. Coculture with P. gingivalis significantly decreased the INSR-insulin binding ability. Knocking out gingipain from P. gingivalis alleviated the negative effects of P. gingivalis on IR in vivo. Taken together, these findings indicate that distantly migrated P. gingivalis may directly proteolytically degrade INSR through gingipain, thereby leading to IR.
