Maturation ameloblasts of rat incisor teeth have smooth-ended and ruffle-ended apical membrane configurations. It has also been reported that maturation ameloblasts have several lateral membrane configurations. The purpose of this study was to determine the correlation between the modulations of lateral and apical cell membranes of murine incisor ameloblasts in the maturation stage of amelogenesis. Maxillary and mandibular incisors were dissected, demineralized, embedded in paraffin, sectioned and then de-paraffinized, and the enamel organs were prepared for scanning electron microscopy. Additional mouse and rat incisor enamel organs were fixed and teased apart during dehydration, then observed in the SEM. The lengths of smooth- and ruffle-ended ameloblast segments were measured, and the site, length, and frequency of each lateral membrane configuration were determined within each segment. The lateral membrane configuration with folds forming from 12 to 14 channels around the periphery of the cells was most predominant in both smooth- and ruffle-ended cells. Cells surrounded by from six to eight channels were the only other lateral membrane configuration observed in ruffle-ended ameloblasts. Smooth-ended ameloblasts had lateral membrane configurations with either dense or sparse microvillous projections in addition to both types of channel cells. The observation that channelled extracellular spaces are always associated with ruffle-ended cells suggests that channels somehow function in conjunction with the ruffled apical membrane in resorption and removal of enamel matrix proteins. The smooth-ended ameloblasts lack tight apical junctions, and their microvillous lateral membranes permit the passage of plasma fluids around cells to the maturing enamel surface. Analysis of our data indicates that specific lateral membrane configurations are related to the type of apical membrane present.

Significant Difference

The objective of this split-mouth, double-blind, randomized controlled trial was to compare the clinical effect of treatment of 2- or 3-wall intrabony defects with open flap debridement (OFD) combined or not with enamel matrix proteins (EMP). Thirteen volunteers were selected with one pair of or more intrabony defects and probing pocket depth (PPD) > 5 mm. All individuals received instructions regarding oral hygiene and were submitted to scaling and root planing. Each participant received the two treatment modalities: test sites were treated with OFD and EMP, and control sites received only OFD. After 6 months, a significant reduction was observed in PPD for the EMP group (from 6.42 ± 1.08 mm to 2.67 ± 1.15 mm) and for the OFD group (from 6.08 ± 1.00 mm to 2.00 ± 0.95 mm) (p < 0.0001), but with no significant difference between groups (p = 0.13). A significant gain in relative attachment level (RAL) was observed in both groups (EMP: from 13.42 ± 1.88 mm to 10.75 ± 2.26 mm, p < 0.001; OFD: from 12.42 ± 1.98 mm to 10.58 ± 2.23 mm, p = 0.013), but with no significant difference between groups (p = 0.85). Gingival recession (GR) was higher in the EMP group (from 1.08 ± 1.50 mm to 2.33 ± 1.43 mm; p = 0.0009) than in the OFD group (from 0.66 ± 1.15 mm to 1.16 ± 1.33 mm; p = 0.16), but this difference was not significant (p = 0.06). In conclusion, the results showed that OFD combined with EMP was not able to improve treatment of intrabony defects compared to OFD alone.

As the hardest tissue formed by vertebrates, enamel represents nature’s engineering masterpiece with complex organizations of fibrous apatite crystals at the nanometer scale. Supramolecular assemblies of enamel matrix proteins (EMPs) play a key role as the structural scaffolds for regulating mineral morphology during enamel development. However, to achieve maximum tissue hardness, most organic content in enamel is digested and removed at the maturation stage, and thus knowledge of a structural protein template that could guide enamel mineralization is limited at this date. Herein, by examining a gene-modified mouse that lacked enzymatic degradation of EMPs, we demonstrate the presence of protein nanoribbons as the structural scaffolds in developing enamel matrix. Using in vitro mineralization assays we showed that both recombinant and enamel-tissue–based amelogenin nanoribbons are capable of guiding fibrous apatite nanocrystal formation. In accordance with our understanding of the natural process of enamel formation, templated crystal growth was achieved by interaction of amelogenin scaffolds with acidic macromolecules that facilitate the formation of an amorphous calcium phosphate precursor which gradually transforms into oriented apatite fibers along the protein nanoribbons. Furthermore, this study elucidated that matrix metalloproteinase-20 is a critical regulator of the enamel mineralization as only a recombinant analog of a MMP20-cleavage product of amelogenin was capable of guiding apatite mineralization. This study highlights that supramolecular assembly of the scaffold protein, its enzymatic processing, and its ability to interact with acidic carrier proteins are critical steps for proper enamel development.
