Fig. 3 Accelerated generation of human induced pluripotent stem cells from human oral mucosa using episomal plasmid vectors and maternal transcription factor Glis1

Journal of Oral Science & Rehabilitation, Vol. 3

Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) possess high pluripotency and differentiation potential and may constitute a possible source of autologous stem cells for clinical applications. However, the lengthy reprogramming process (up to one month) remains one of the most significant challenges facing standard virus-mediated methodology. The Gli-like transcription factor Glis1 is highly expressed in unfertilized eggs and one-cell-stage embryos. In this study, iPSCs were generated using a combination of primary human oral mucosal fibroblasts (HOFs) and episomal plasmid vectors expressing transcription factors, including Glis1.

Composition of platelet-rich plasma gel: A Western blot analysis

Journal of Oral Science & Rehabilitation, Vol. 3

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) gel is an autogenous blood-derived material that may be used as a regenerative agent of oral structures. The regenerative capacity of PRP is largely attributed to its composition, including many different growth factors. Thus far, no study has identified the molecular content of this gel. Therefore, it was the purpose of this study to assess the presence of different growth factors in PRP gel, using the Western blot technique.

The role of melatonin in periodontal and periimplant bone homeostasis and regeneration

Journal of Oral Science & Rehabilitation, Vol. 3

The objectives of this study are to review the properties of melatonin in regulating bone homeostasis; to discuss its direct and indirect effects on bone; and to propose mechanisms for the use of melatonin as an agent to promote alveolar bone regeneration.

Three-year clinical and radiographic outcomes of patients treated according to the All-on-4 concept in the daily practice: A prospective observational study on implants and prosthesis survival rates and complications

Journal of Oral Science & Rehabilitation, Vol. 3

All-on-4 treatment concept is widely applied for complete-arch rehabilitations. Nevertheless, minor technical and biological complications can occur. The objective of this study was to evaluate the three-year clinical and radiographic data of complete-arch fixed dental prostheses supported by four implants according to the All-on-4 protocol.
