TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of biomedical materials, and particularly relates to a 3D-printed biological tooth root support and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Tooth loss is a common and frequently-occurring disease. According to the Fourth National Oral Health Epidemiological Survey Report, 67.7% of people in the 35-44 age group have complete dentition in China, and the rate of tooth loss is higher in people over 45 years old. At present, the common implant denture repair after tooth loss has defects such as lack of nerve occlusion sensation, weak anti-infection ability, high maintenance cost, strict indications, etc. There is an urgent need for biological tooth repair that is similar to natural tooth structure, nerve, and nutritional function, has personalized recovery mechanical properties, and has no rejection risks, especially for congenital multiple tooth loss or post-natal caries in adolescents and children who cannot be repaired by implantation. Therefore, exploring a strategy for constructing a personalized biological tooth has great market and economic demand.
[0003] With the development of 3D printing technology and stem cell in-vivo treatment, the biological tooth root constructed by seed cells combined with personalized biological scaffold material provides a feasible solution for physiological and functional biological tooth regeneration. At present, important breakthroughs have been made in the research of 3D printing of biological tooth roots, but the mechanical properties of the biological tooth roots prepared by the current methods are poor. Although some researchers use low-temperature deposition, DLP hydrogel printing, etc. to obtain biological tooth roots with certain biological induction efficiency, the mechanical properties such as stiffness and elastic modulus of the biological tooth roots prepared by this method are poor, the precision of the tooth root support is low, and the tooth root support does not have anti-inflammatory immune regulation ability to the initial implant microenvironment, resulting in a low success rate of functional biological tooth root regeneration. Therefore, how to obtain a personalized biological tooth root support with high strength, high precision, and anti-inflammatory immune regulation has become a technical bottleneck that needs to be solved for the application of biological tooth roots in clinical demand for tooth loss. Therefore, how to prepare a personalized, high-precision, high-strength, anti-inflammatory immune regulation type biological tooth root that meets the requirements of clinical treatment has important scientific significance for the final realization of the clinical transformation of biological tooth roots. SUMMARY
[0004] The present application provides a 3D-printed biological tooth root support to solve the problems of low strength, low precision, and poor anti-inflammatory immune regulation ability in the existing low-temperature deposition, ink direct writing method, etc. The biological tooth root support combines 3D printing to prepare high-precision biological ceramics, excellent mechanical properties after high-temperature sintering, surface interface activity reconstruction to promote cell adhesion and differentiation, and anti-inflammatory drug CMC-BAPE@BMP7 to promote cell differentiation, realizes the personalized customization of a biological tooth root support with high strength, high precision, and immune regulation activity, and has a broad application prospect in the field of tooth loss repair.

[0041] Functional comparison experiment 1: After 3 months of rat renal capsule transplantation of the DLP 3D printed root support prepared by the application, the CMC-BAPE@BMP7 group, and the DFSC membrane piece control group, it can be found that: compared with the CMC-BAPE and DFSC membrane piece control group, the CMC-BAPE@BMP7 group biological tooth root is thick and large, and the cells are rich (Fig. Figure 8 a1), a large number of DSP positive expression of new dentin in the inner side of the support (Fig. Figure 8 a2-a3: ND: new dentin- new dentin), BSP positive expression of new cementum can be seen on the outside (Fig. Figure 8 a4-a5), and there are obvious blood vessels in the root canal (Fig. Figure 8 a6 red arrow) and CD31 positive blood vessels-NF positive nerve bundle formation (Fig. Figure 8 a7) and obvious calcified substance structure in the pulp cavity (Fig. Figure 8 a8), and a large number of inflammatory cells infiltrate the outside of the tooth root relative to the pulp cavity (Fig. Figure 8 a9) also shows that the CMC-BAPE@BMP7 compounded in the inner side of the pulp cavity has good anti-inflammatory effect, and in the CMC-BAPE group (Fig. Figure 8 B), the biological tooth root is short and small, and the cells are sparse (Fig. Figure 8 b1), mesenchymal blood vessels and nerves are less (Fig. Figure 8 b2) and the irregular and thin new substance structure-dentin (Fig. Figure 8 b3). The above results show that the DLP 3D printed root support of the application compounded with CMC-BAPE@BMP7 can promote DFSC to differentiate into substance / interstitial type in the root mode and has certain anti-inflammatory effect.
[0042] Functional comparison experiment 2: The periodontal membrane regeneration effect in the application is further verified by using a large animal beagle dog in vivo biological tooth root regeneration model, as follows: a first premolar tooth germ of a 6-month-old beagle dog is obtained (Fig. Figure 10A), extraction of tooth germ outer layer development period tooth capsule tissue ( Figure 10 B), further in vitro isolation and culture into dental follicle stem cell membrane-DFSC ( Figure 10 C), and then using the hydroxyapatite-zirconium / zinc oxide-based bio-ink as the main component in the application, a 6mm high, 1.5mm thick, 1mm hollow bioceramic root support is prepared by DLP-3D printing ( Figure 10 D), 5% pure GelMA (control group), GelMA mixed solution containing 1mg / ml BMP7 (BMP7 group) and GelMA mixed solution containing 1mg / ml CMC-BAPE@BMP7 (CMC-BAPE@BMP7 group) as different experimental groups, Figure 10 E), after soaking the 3D printed bioceramic root support in each group of drugs, the outer layer is compounded with dog DFSC membrane to form a composite biological root model for implantation in vivo ( Figure 10 F), after the mandibular fourth premolar of a 1-year-old adult beagle dog is removed, the composite biological root of each group is immediately implanted (4 samples per group), and the X-ray image shows that the position of the composite biological root after implantation is correct ( Figure 10 G), after three months, the implanted root area heals well, and X-ray shows that there is no bone inflammation absorption around the bioceramic root support ( Figure 10 H). Further, the beagle dog is painlessly killed to obtain the regenerated sample ( Figure 9 ), hard tissue sections (thickness 30um) are used for histological detection ( Figure 10 I), the results are as follows: in the control group, the support is buried under the gum and surrounded by alveolar bone ( Figure 10 i), HE staining results further show that there is obvious cell adhesion on the outside ( Figure 10 ii) and new tissue formation can be seen on the inside ( Figure 10 iii white pentagram), Masson staining results show that these cells are collagen fiber cells, and there is also a lack of obvious regenerated microvessels, and the blue-stained uniform tissue indicates that DFSC forms collagen component secretions on the surface of the support ( Figure 10 iv). At the same time, the BMP7 group shows that the support and the alveolar bone are obviously adhered ( Figure 10 v), the support also shows that the new material is formed by eosin staining ( Figure 10 vi white pentagram), and the support outside the support can be seen to be adhered to the alveolar bone ( Figure 10 vii white triangle), Masson staining results show that the eosin-stained new material is collagen component ( Figure 10viii), and a small amount of blood vessel formation can be seen inside (red arrows), indicating that direct compounding with BMP7 promotes excessive collagen secretion of DFSC, while increasing matrix mineralization and angiogenesis induction ability; in contrast, the CMC-BAPE@BMP7 group showed a relatively obvious eosinophilic periodontal ligament-like space structure around the implanted 3D printing material ( Figure 10 ix), further HE magnification shows that both the upper part of the root ( Figure 10 x) or the lower part of the root ( Figure 10 xi), a large number of periodontal fiber attachment structures were formed (white arrows), and the periodontal fibers were arranged in parallel and orderly (green dotted arrows), and there were also a large number of tiny blood vessel-like structures (red arrows) between them. The Masson result ( Figure 10 xii) A similar regeneration trend was also observed, indicating that compared with pure BMP7 induction, the DLP-3D printed biological root scaffold prepared by the CMC-BAPE@BMP7 composite of the present invention can promote the controllable differentiation of DFSC into periodontal ligament-like structures, thereby promoting the formation of periodontal attachment structures and microvascularization.
