Introduction

The search for effective methods of periodontal disease treatment is at present a burning problem of modern dentistry. On the one hand, it is determined by a still high prevalence of the disease in the population including young people, and on the other, by insufficiently effective means and methods of treatment suggested today [1, 2].

According to WHO, the prevalence of periodontal diseases reaches 90-95% in adult population, and it

makes 94.8% among the 35-44-year-old residents of the Republic of Belarus [3]. Gingival recession is one of the common forms of periodontal tissue pathology and, according to the data of epidemiological survey conducted in the Republic, is registered in 9.7% of cases in 15-year-old patients and in 99.3% in adults [4, 5].

Now, there exist various methods of treating gingival recession using a complex of therapeutic, surgical, orthodontic, and orthopedic procedures, however, the results of observations do not give evidence of long-lasting and stable periodontal tissue regeneration [2, 6].

Perspective directions of the present science include the applications of autologous and allogenic mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) for periodontal tissue regeneration, development of new methods of regenerative therapy, and implementation of them into clinical dentistry, which will enable improvement of treatment efficacy and patients' quality of life [713]. Specialists of many countries carry out diverse investigations in this direction, the success of which depends greatly on the choice of the experimental model [14-19].

Presently, one of the new approaches to the periodontal tissue regeneration is the application of a bioplastic collagen material Collost as a barrier matrix [20]. The gel form of Collost biomaterial is widely used in general surgical practice in the management of chronic wound skin defects of various etiology [21-23]. Application of the collagen Collost gel for gum recession treatment, especially as a scaffold in tissue-engineered constructs is considered as a promising technique.

All the above-said motivates the researchers to carry out grounded experimental and clinical studies on the application of MSC on the collagen gel Collost in dentistry for activating regenerative processes in the periodontal tissues and improving the efficacy of treating patients with gingival recession.

The aim of the study was to assess the character of morphological changes in the pathologically altered periodontal tissues using biotransplant based on the adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells immobilized on the collagen matrix Collost for treating gingival recession in the experiment on animals.

Materials and Methods

The experimental studies were carried out in the Research Laboratory of the Belarusian Medical Academy of Postgraduate Education. The operative intervention was performed in the area of incisors of the upper and lower rat jaws.

Non-linear randombred females of white outbred rats (n=60) weighing 200.0-250.0 g were used as a model in the experiment. The rats were housed under standard vivarium conditions according to the sanitary and hygienic rules approved in the Republic of Belarus, and in compliance with the Guide for the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals (National Research Council, 2011), and Ethical Principles of the European Convention for the Protection of Vertebrate Animals used for Experimental and Other Scientific Purposes (Strasbourg, 2006).

At the first stage of the investigation, an experimental model of gingival recession was formed surgically in 50 laboratory animals, 10 rats remained intact over the whole period of observations.

Experimental gingival recession was modeled on the vestibular surface in the region of incisors and dentogingival papillar in the upper and lower jaws on the

right after anesthesia: intramuscular injection of narcotic analgetics (0.005% fentanyl + 0.25% droperidol in 1:2 ratio and a dose of 0.3 ml per 100 g of body mass).

The operative intervention was performed by mechanical V-shaped excision of the periodontal tissues from the vestibular surface with a round hard metal bur and a portable micromotor. The dentogingival papillar between the incisors was first excised with a round hard metal bur and then with a scalpel in order to form "black triangles".

Before the investigations, 1-2 ml of the adipose tissue were harvested from one specimen under sterile conditions in order to obtain allogeneic mesenchymal stem cells. MSC isolation, culturing, and transplant preparation were performed in the laboratory of the Institute of Biophysics and Cell Engineering of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus.

At the second stage, 10 days after the creation of the experimental gingival recession models and completion of the epithelization process, the animals were distributed into groups depending on the administered therapy:

group 1 (n=10) — induced gingival recession without further treatment;

group 2 (n=10) — injections of physiological solution into the gingival tissue;

group 3 (n=10) — injections of 7% Collost sterile bioplastic collagen material into the gingival tissue;

group 4 (n=10) — injections of adipose tissue-derived MSC suspension in the physiological solution into the gingival tissue;

group 5 (n=10) — injections of adipose tissue-derived MSC suspension in the 7% Collost sterile bioplastic collagen into the gingival tissue.

Animals were withdrawn from the experiment by 5 rats from each group in 25 and 38 days after the gingival recession formation (on days 14 and 28 after the beginning of the study) in compliance with bioethics principles (according to the GLP standards) under intraperitoneal thiopental anesthesia (1 ml of 5% sodium thiopental per 100 g of body mass). Bioptate of the "tooth-periodontal tissue-bone tissue" complex was collected for pathomorphological investigations.

A dento-gingiva-maxillary block of the upper and lower rat jaws was examined in the course of the experiment. The dissected areas were fixed in 10% neutral formalin for 48 h. The preparations were decalcified with a mixture of formic and hydrochloric acids and subjected to the standard histotechnical treatment after which 3-5 ^m sections were prepared from the paraffin blocks and stained with hematoxylin and eosin. Micropreparations were studied and microphotographs were taken using Axio Imager (Carl Zeiss, Germany) and software-supported DMLS microscopes (Leica, Germany).

Results

The efficiency of biotransplant based on MSC immobilized on the 7% Collost collagen matrix was

assessed by analyzing the character of morphological changes in the periodontal tissues in which the experimental model of gingival recession has been surgically formed.

Morphological picture of the intact rat tissues. The gingival channel in the upper jaw is short, without any content. The channel bottom is presented by squamous epithelioid cells, perifocally — with thin-walled capillaries in the tissue of adjacent gingival lamina propria (LP). The junctional epithelium is exfoliated, is represented by a narrow strand of fibrous tissue and epithelioid cells. The free gingiva consists of a keratinized stratified squamous epithelium (SSE), with a narrow strip of a laminated and segmentally exfoliated keratin substance and small bodies of keratohyalin in the cytoplasm of the granular layer. Paleness of the basal cell cytoplasm, smoothed and wide epithelial ridges along the outer margin of the free gingiva are noted. The free gingiva LP is loose, few-celled (fibrocytes, scanty fibroblasts, and single small undifferentiated cells), with diffused and scattered small groups or singly located plethoric capillaries with no signs of inflammatory infiltration. A moderately celled periodontal ligament integrated with the alveolar process periosteum is observed.

In the lower jaw of the intact rats, a gingival pocket of moderate depth without any content is seen. Epitheliocytes and a loose connective tissue are found

the areas of epithelioid cells forming epithelioid ridges. Gel in the gingival pocket and periodontal tissues is not visualized.

The junctional epithelium consists of a narrow strand of the few-celled connective tissue with homogeneous intercellular matrix, single undifferentiated cells and SNL. The free gingiva consists of keratinized SSE with a relatively wide corneal layer and a narrow inner strip of the granular layer cells, with plenty of fine keratohyalin grains. Vesiculation of the spinous and basal layer cells with intercellular matrix homogenization and low wide epithelial ridges is noted. The gingival LP consists of a few-celled strongly thickened connective tissue with scanty tiny undifferentiated cells tending to differentiate into fibroblasts, with moderate neoangiogenesis. The periodontal ligament is non-uniformly wide, densely celled (fibrocytes and, predominantly, fibroblasts with small foci of swollen fibroblasts and their precursors), integrated with the alveolar process periosteum of the normally structured jaw.

The gingival pocket in the lower jaw is moderately widened and shallow without any content (Figure 10 (c)). The junctional epithelium is torn, seen as a narrow strand of epithelial loosely packed cells which segmentally compose the gingival pocket bottom. The free gingiva consists of keratinized SSE with a thin corneal and compact granular layer. Focal proliferation of the basal layer cells with formation of thin epithelial ridges is observed. The gingival LP is presented by a loose densely celled connective tissue (fibrocytes, predominantly fibroblasts, profibroblasts, plasmatic cells, single SNL, and numerous reducing undifferentiated cells). Moderately marked neoangiogenesis is fixed. The periodontal ligament is extremely wide, densely celled, consists of fibrocytes, fibroblasts, and, predominantly, epithelioid cells with scanty reducing undifferentiated cells, is integrated with the alveolar process periosteum of the normally structured jaw.

Thus, the analysis of morphological changes in the animal periodontal tissues, in which a model of gingival recession has been formed, made it possible to assess the results of using different agents for transplantation of various biomaterials and their combinations.

Local introduction of physiological solution into the gingival tissues causes edema and swelling of the tissue and cellular components of the gingiva and periodontium which impairs their mechanical and biophysical function, promotes the development of dystrophic changes (hypropic dystrophy), and later development of inflammatory processes (periodontitis).

The bioplastic collagen material, 7% Collost gel, in the process of degradation in the isolated form serves as a matrix for the formation of the native connective tissue, provides adhesion of the stem cells and their transformation into pro- and fibroblasts. Collost contributes to the reduction of gingival recession and pocket depth, stimulates the process of epithalization.

Injections of the MSC cell transplant suspension, in

the physiological solution activate cell proliferation and transformation of fibroblast differon cells.

The suspension of the stem cell transplant on the sterile Collost bioplastic collagen enhances effects of the gel and stem cells, facilitates elimination of atrophic and dystrophic alterations in the gingiva, enhacement of the mechanical component, reduction of gingival recession and pocket depth.

Conclusion

The results of our investigation convincingly demonstrate that a combination of the cellular transplant suspension, mesenchymal stem cells, and sterile bioplastic collagen material, 7% Collost gel, may serve as an up-to-date perspective remedy for gingival tissue regeneration.
