    Management of peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis
    (Periodontology 2000, 2014) Figuero, Elena; Graziani, Filippo; Herrera González, David; Sanz Alonso, Mariano
    Peri-implant diseases are defined as inflammatory lesions of the surrounding peri-implant tissues, and they include peri-implant mucositis (inflammatory lesion limited to the surrounding mucosa of an implant) and peri-implantitis (inflammatory lesion of the mucosa, affecting the supporting bone with resulting loss of osseointegration). This review aims to describe the different approaches to manage both entities and to critically evaluate the available evidence on their efficacy. Therapy of peri-implant mucositis and non-surgical therapy of peri-implantitis usually involve the mechanical debridement of the implant surface by means of curettes, ultrasonic devices, air abrasive devices or lasers, with or without the adjunctive use of local antibiotics or antiseptics. The efficacy of these therapies has been demonstrated for mucositis. Controlled clinical trials show an improvement in clinical parameters, especially in bleeding on probing. For peri-implantitis, the results are limited, especially in terms of probing pocket depth reduction. Surgical therapy of peri-implantitis is indicated when non-surgical therapy fails to control the inflammatory changes. The selection of the surgical technique should be based on the characteristics of the peri-implant lesion. In presence of deep circumferential and intrabony defects surgical interventions should be aimed for thorough debridement, implant surface decontamination and defect reconstruction. In presence of defects without clear bony walls or with a predominant suprabony component, the aim of the surgical intervention should be the thorough debridement and the repositioning of the margical mucosa that enables the patient for effective oral hygiene practices, although this aim may compromise the aesthetic result of the implant supported restoration.

    Obesity and periodontitis: An experimental study to evaluate periodontal and systemic effects of comorbidity
    (Journal of Periodontology, 2018) Cano, Pilar; González, Jerián; Virto Ruiz, Leire; Cano Barquilla, María Pilar; Jiménez Ortega, Vanesa; Fernández Mateos, María Del Pilar; Esquifino Parras, Ana Isabel; Sanz Alonso, Mariano
    Background: Obesity and overweight have been associated with periodontitis. This study aims to evaluate periodontal and systemic effects of this association in a validated experimental model. Methods: Twenty-eight male Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups: 1) control group (Con) (fed with standard diet); 2) high-fat diet group (HFD) (fed with a diet containing 35.2% fat); 3) control group with induced periodontitis (Con-Perio); and 4) HFD group with induced periodontitis (HFD-Perio). To induce periodontitis, oral gavages with Porphyromonas gingivalis ATCC W83K1 and Fusobacterium nucleatum DMSZ 20482 were used. Periodontal outcomes were evaluated by inflammatory parameters, periodontal probing depth (PD), and modified gingival index (MGI). Systemic effects were evaluated by measuring levels of inflammatory cytokines, insulin, adiponectin, and leptin using multiplex immunoassays and levels of visfatin, resistin, lipid profiles, transaminases, and plasma endotoxin using colorimetric tests and the glucose tolerance test. Results: Clinical parameters (PD and MGI) were significantly increased (P < 0.05) in the induced periodontitis groups compared with controls. The HFD-Perio group demonstrated significantly higher PD compared with Con-Perio group. Lipid profiles, cytokines, and adipocytokines showed significantly elevated levels in the HFD-Perio group compared with the other groups. Similarly, glucose levels in the HFD-Perio group were significantly higher (P < 0.05) than in the HFD group, and hepatic damage parameters demonstrated a tendency toward higher levels in the HFD-Perio group. Conclusion: Obesity and periodontitis demonstrated a comorbidity effect on both systemic inflammatory and metabolic dysregulation biomarkers, with increased glucose, dyslipidemia and hepatic damage.

    In Vitro Anti-Biofilm and Antibacterial Properties of Streptococcus downii sp. nov.
    (Microorganisms, 2021) Cuenca, Maigualida; Sánchez Beltrán, María Del Carmen; Diz, Pedro; Martínez-Lamas, Lucía; Álvarez, Maximiliano; Limeres, Jacobo; Sanz Alonso, Mariano; Herrera González, David
    The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential anti-biofilm and antibacterial activities of Streptococcus downii sp. nov. To test anti-biofilm properties, Streptococcus mutans, Actinomyces naeslundii, Veillonella parvula, Fusobacterium nucleatum, Porphyromonas gingivalis, and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans were grown in a biofilm model in the presence or not of S. downii sp. nov. for up to 120 h. For the potential antibacterial activity, 24 h-biofilms were exposed to S. downii sp. nov for 24 and 48 h. Biofilms structures and bacterial viability were studied by microscopy, and the effect in bacterial load by quantitative polymerase chain reaction. A generalized linear model was constructed, and results were considered as statistically significant at p < 0.05. The presence of S. downii sp. nov. during biofilm development did not affect the structure of the community, but an anti-biofilm effect against S. mutans was observed (p < 0.001, after 96 and 120 h). For antibacterial activity, after 24 h of exposure to S. downii sp. nov., counts of S. mutans (p = 0.019) and A. actinomycetemcomitans (p = 0.020) were significantly reduced in well-structured biofilms. Although moderate, anti-biofilm and antibacterial activities of S. downii sp. nov. against oral bacteria, including some periodontal pathogens, were demonstrated in an in vitro biofilm model.

    Immunohistochemical, histomorphometric, and gingival crevicular fluid analysis of residual and shallow periodontal pockets in patients with periodontitis Stages III and IV
    (Journal of Periodontology, 2019) Martínez Villa, Sergio; Sanz Martín, Ignacio; Maldonado Bautista, Estela; Virto Ruiz, Leire; Sanz Esporrín, Javier; Sanz Alonso, Mariano
    Background: To study the differences between shallow and residual periodontal pockets in patients with periodontitis (Stages III and IV) after non-surgical periodontal treatment. Methods: Twenty patients diagnosed of periodontitis who were scheduled for periodontal surgery were included. In each patient, a palatal shallow site (≤3 mm) and a residual site (≥5 mm) were selected and GCF samples were processed by Luminex® analysis to determine the concentrations of interleukins (IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10, and IL-17a). During the periodontal surgery gingival biopsies were collected and processed for histo-morphometric and immunohistochemical evaluation to determine the extent of connective tissue inflammatory infiltrate (CTII) using the following markers (CD4, CD5, CD8, CD14, CD19, Elastase, and Syndecan). Mean differences between shallow and residual pockets samples, as well as correlations between GCF cytokine concentrations, area of CTII, and cellularity of the CTII were calculated. Results: A total of 15 patients were finally included, with analysis of 30 histological specimens and 30 GCF samples. Residual pockets presented significantly higher mean GCF volume, higher mean area of CTII and higher concentrations of IL-1β and IL-6 in GCF than shallow pockets. A significant correlation was detected between IL-10 levels and the CTII area, IL-10 and the percentage of Syndecan, and the area of CTII and the percentages of CD14 and Syndecan. Conclusions: The concentration of GCF cytokines did not correlate with the area of CTII measured histologically. A residual CTII and elevated concentrations of proinflammatory cytokines and cells were present in all sites 2 months after non-surgical treatment. The lack of healthy controls does not allow to establish differences between both groups.

    Antimicrobial effects of a new brushing solution concept on a multispecies in vitro biofilm model growing on titanium surfaces
    (Clinical Oral Implants Research, 2022) Virto Ruiz, Leire; Simões Martins ,David; Sánchez Beltrán, María Del Carmen; Encinas, Ana; Sanz Alonso, Mariano; Herrera González, David
    Objectives To evaluate the antibiofilm and antibacterial effects of a new brushing solution concept, in a validated peri-implant biofilm model. Materials and Methods A multispecies in vitro biofilm model, including Streptococcus oralis, Actinomyces naeslundii, Veillonella parvula, Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, Porphyromonas gingivalis and Fusobacterium nucleatum, was used. To evaluate the antibiofilm capacity, titanium discs (Ti-SLA) were immersed in 1 ml of the tested solution (one tablet dissolved in warm water) for 2 min, prior and every 24 h during a 3-day biofilm development. Negative (water) and positive (0.12% chlorhexidine/0.05% cetylpyridinium chloride mouth rinse) controls treated discs were run in parallel. To evaluate the antibacterial effects, planktonic cells and 72-h biofilms on sterile Ti-SLA discs were exposed (2 min) to the mentioned treatments. Biofilm structure was analysed by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Bacterial load was measured by quantitative polymerase chain reaction and by culture in planktonic cells. Results The tested product showed antibiofilm effects, impacting on the 48-h and 72-h biofilm thickness and significantly reducing viability of all bacterial species, except A. actinomycetemcomitans. Antibacterial effects were observed against the six bacterial species in planktonic state and in 72-h biofilms, especially for F. nucleatum and A. actinomycetemcomitans. Conclusion The tested brushing solution demonstrated antibacterial and antibiofilm properties, mainly against the peri-implant pathogens included in the validated in vitro biofilm model used.

    Structure, viability and bacterial kinetics of an in vitro biofilm model using six bacteria from the subgingival microbiota
    (Journal of Periodontal Research, 2011) Sánchez Beltrán, María Del Carmen; Llama Palacios, María Arantxazu; Blanc, Vanesa; León, Rubén; Herrera González, David; Sanz Alonso, Mariano
    Background and Objective: There are few in vitro models available in the scientific literature for study of the structure, formation and development of the subgingival biofilm. The purpose of this study was to develop and validate an in vitro biofilm model, using representative selected bacteria from the subgingival microbiota. Material and Methods: Six standard reference strains were used to develop biofilms over sterile ceramic calcium hydroxyapatite discs coated with saliva within the wells of presterilized polystyrene tissue culture plates. The selected species represent initial (Streptococcus oralis and Actinomyces naeslundii), early (Veillonella parvula), secondary (Fusobacterium nucleatum) and late colonizers (Porphyromonas gingivalis and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans). The structure of the biofilm obtained was studied using a vital fluorescence technique in conjunction with confocal laser scanning microscopy. The biofilm bacterial kinetics were studied by terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis. Results: After 12 h, initial and early colonizers were the first microorganisms detected adhering to the calcium hydroxyapatite discs. The intermediate colonizer F. nucleatum was not detected in the model until 24 h of incubation. Late colonizers A. actinomycetemcomitans and P. gingivalis could be measured inside the biofilm after 48 h. The biofilm reached its steady state between 72 and 96 h after inoculation, with bacterial vitality increasing from the hydroxyapatite surface to the central part of the biofilm. Conclusion: An in vitro biofilm model was developed and validated, demonstrating a pattern of bacterial colonization and maturation similar to the in vivo development of the subgingival biofilm.

    Cell therapy with allogenic canine periodontal ligament-derived cells in periodontal regeneration of critical size defects.
    (J Clin Periodontol., 2018) Nuñez, Javier; Sánchez Pérez, Silvia Nerea; Vignoletti, Fabio; Sanz-Martin, Ignacio; Caffesse, Raul; Santamaria, Silvia; Garcia-Sanz, Jose Alberto; Sanz Alonso, Mariano
    Aim: The objective of this in vivo experimental study to evaluate the regenerative potential of a cell therapy combining allogenic periodontal ligament-derived cells within a xenogeneic bone substitute in a similar experimental model. Methods: In nine beagle dogs, critical size 6-mm supra-alveolar periodontal defects were created around the PIII and PIV. The resulting supra-alveolar defects were randomly treated with either 1.4 × 106 allogenic canine periodontal ligament-derived cells seeded on de-proteinized bovine bone mineral with 10% collagen (DBBM-C) (test group) or DBBM-C without cells (control group). Specimens were obtained at 3 months, and histological outcomes were studied. Results: The histological analysis showed that total furcation closure occurred very seldom in both groups, being the extent of periodontal regeneration located in the apical third of the defect. The calculated amount of periodontal regeneration at the furcation area was comparable in both the test and control groups (1.93 ± 1.14 mm (17%) versus 2.35 ± 1.74 mm (22%), respectively (p = .37). Similarly, there were no significant differences in the amount of new cementum formation 4.49 ± 1.56 mm (41%) versus 4.97 ± 1.05 mm (47%), respectively (p = .45). Conclusions: This experimental study was unable to demonstrate the added value of allogenic cell therapy in supra-crestal periodontal regeneration.

    Effect of sub‐marginal instrumentation before surgical treatment of peri‐implantitis: A multi‐centre randomized clinical trial
    (Journal of Clinical Periodontology, 2022) Romandini, Mario; Laforí, Andreina; Pedrinaci, Ignacio; Baima, Giacomo; Ferrarotti, Francesco; Lima, Cristina; Paternó Holtzman, Lucrezia; Aimetti, Mario; Cordaro, Luca; Sanz Alonso, Mariano
    Aim: The present multi-centre randomized clinical trial with 12 months of follow-up aimed at studying the added effect of sub-marginal instrumentation before surgical treatment of peri-implantitis. Materials and Methods: Forty-two patients diagnosed with peri-implantitis were recruited. After a behavioural intervention phase including oral hygiene instructions, patients were randomized to either receiving supra- and sub-marginal instrumentation on their affected implants (control group: 21 patients and 29 implants) or only supra-marginal instrumentation (test group: 21 patients and 24 implants), before undergoing surgery. Changes in the deepest probing pocket depth (PPD) with respect to baseline and a composite outcome of treatment success (no implant loss, no bone loss > 0.5 mm, no bleeding or suppuration on probing [BoP/SoP], and PPD ≤ 5 mm) at the 12-month examination were regarded as the primary outcomes of the trial. Results: At the 12-month examination, changes in the deepest PPD with respect to baseline amounted to ¬-2.96 mm in the control group and to -3.11 mm in the test one (MD = -0.16; SE = 0.56; p = .769), while 21.4% of the implants in the control group and 33.3% in the test group presented treatment success (OR = 1.83; SE = 1.15; p = .338). With the exception of a longer non-surgical treatment duration in the control group (differences in = -14.29 min; SE = 2.91; p < .001), no other secondary (e.g., soft-tissue recession, keratinized mucosa height, and bone level changes, as well as BoP, SoP, profuse bleeding and implant loss rates) or exploratory (i.e., early wound healing, aesthetics, surgical and total treatment duration, surgery difficulty, intra-operative bleeding, and adverse events) outcome demonstrated statistically significant differences between groups. Conclusions: The present multi-centre randomized clinical trial did not demonstrate an added effect of performing sub-marginal instrumentation 6 weeks before the surgical treatment of peri-implantitis. Larger clinical trials are however needed to confirm the present findings (Clinicaltrials.gov: NCT03620331).

    Dental Biofilm Removal and Bacterial Contamination of a New Doubled-Side Thermoplastic Polyurethane-Based Toothbrush: A Crossover Study in Healthy Volunteers
    (Antibiotics, 2022) Zúñiga Uhalde, Ignacio; Iniesta Albentosa, Margarita Isabel; Virto Ruiz, Leire; Ribeiro Vida, Honorato José; Alonso Español, Andrea; Hernández Ruiz de Azcárate, Fernando; Cardona Álvarez, John Jairo; Maher Lavandero, Anushiravan; Alonso Álvarez, Bettina María; Sanz Alonso, Mariano; Herrera González, David
    Multiple toothbrush designs have been developed to enhance dental biofilm removal and decrease bacterial contamination and retention over time. Therefore, the aim of this clinical study was to compare the efficacy of a prototype of a new double-sided thermoplastic polyurethane-based toothbrush with that of a conventional nylon-bristle toothbrush. A crossover study was conducted in systemically healthy volunteers (n = 24) for two one-week periods plus one washout week. As outcome variables, plaque and gingival indices, total bacterial contamination of the toothbrushes by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), and patient-reported outcomes were measured. Clinical and microbiological variables were analysed using a general linear model and Friedman and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests. No statistically significant differences between toothbrushes were detected neither for full-mouth PlI (p > 0.05) nor for GI (p > 0.05). Similarly, no statistically significant differences were detected for bacterial contamination after 40 seconds or 1 week of use, with results expressed either in CFU/mL or in CFU/mm2 (p > 0.05). In conclusion, the tested prototype toothbrush was as effective and safe as the control toothbrush, and the participating subjects did not experience any adverse effects from its use and rated its efficiency and effectiveness in cleaning their teeth as satisfactory.

    Antibacterial Effect of Functionalized Polymeric Nanoparticles on Titanium Surfaces Using an In Vitro Subgingival Biofilm Model
    (Polymers, 2022) Bueno, Jaime; Virto Ruiz, Leire; Toledano Osorio, Manuel; Figuero Ruiz, Elena; Toledano, Manuel; Medina Castillo, Antonio L.; Osorio, Raquel; Sanz Alonso, Mariano; Herrera González, David
    This investigation aimed to evaluate the antibacterial effect of polymeric nanoparticles (NPs), functionalized with calcium, zinc, or doxycycline, using a subgingival biofilm model of six bacterial species (Streptococcus oralis, Actinomyces naeslundii, Veillonela parvula, Fusobacterium nucleatum, Porphyromonas gingivalis, and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans) on sandblasted, large grit, acid-etched titanium discs (TiDs). Undoped NPs (Un-NPs) or doped NPs with calcium (Ca-NPs), zinc (Zn-NPs), or doxycycline (Dox-NPs) were applied onto the TiD surfaces. Uncovered TiDs were used as negative controls. Discs were incubated under anaerobic conditions for 12, 24, 48, and 72 h. The obtained biofilm structure was studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and its vitality and thickness by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). Quantitative polymerase chain reaction of samples was used to evaluate the bacterial load. Data were evaluated by analysis of variance (p < 0.05) and post hoc comparisons with Bonferroni adjustments (p < 0.01). As compared with uncovered TiDs, Dox-NPs induced higher biofilm mortality (47.21% and 85.87%, respectively) and reduced the bacterial load of the tested species, after 72 h. With SEM, scarce biofilm formation was observed in Dox-NPs TiDs. In summary, Dox-NPs on TiD reduced biofilm vitality, bacterial load, and altered biofilm formation dynamics.
