“…It has been widely recognized that AM can exert anti-inflammatory, antiangiogenic, antifibrotic, and antimicrobial effects 12 , 27 . A number of clinical studies have used the AM for applications in regenerative medicine 17 , 28 – 30 , but it has yet to be elucidated whether the different areas of the placenta have the same plasticity and differentiation potential. One study has recently demonstrated that placental amnion possesses a slightly higher metabolic activity and significantly lower ROS content, when compared to reflected amnion, which could suggest diverse cell differentiation capacities between the 2 regions 20 .…”

“…More recently, decellularized AM has been employed for postinfarct left ventricular remodeling 16 and for the repair of an oroantral communication 17 , thus generating new questions as to the therapeutic potential of the different regions and/or cells in the AM. Indeed, only a handful of reports have characterized and studied the phenotype of the cells comprising the AM in situ 18 , 19 .…”

The human placenta is an important source of stem cells that can be easily collected without ethical concerns since it is usually discarded after childbirth. In this study, we analyzed the amniotic membrane (AM) from the human placenta with the aim of mapping different regions with respect to their morpho-functional features and regenerative potential. AMs were obtained from 24 healthy women, undergoing a caesarean section, and mapped into 4 different regions according to their position in relation to the umbilical cord: the central, intermediate, peripheral, and reflected areas. We carried out a multiparametric analysis focusing our attention on amniotic epithelial cells (AECs). Our results revealed that AECs, isolated from the different areas, are a heterogeneous cell population with different pluripotency and proliferation marker expression (octamer-binding transcription factor 4 [OCT-4], tyrosine-protein kinase KIT [c-KIT], sex determining region Y-box 2 [SOX-2], α-fetoprotein, cyclic AMP response element binding [CREB] protein, and phosphorylated active form of CREB [p-CREB]), proliferative ability, and osteogenic potential. Our investigation discloses interesting findings that could be useful for increasing the efficiency of AM isolation and application for therapeutic purposes.

“…The amnion is the deepest layer of the human placenta [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] , and it has distinctive properties. It is made up of three lamina: an overlying tissue, a basement sheath, and a stromal layer beneath 13,14 . It possesses the unique property of low immunogenicity, which makes it an excellent grafting material.…”

Objectives: Wound healing is an integral part of any surgical procedure. Appropriate wound closure is critical to any successful surgical procedure, especially intraoral procedures. Various factors aid in wound healing, both pharmacological and non-pharmacological. Dehydrated human amniotic/ chorionic membrane (dHACM) is an emerging bioinert material that contains anti-inflammatory properties, angiogenetic properties, osteogenic potential, and various growth factors. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of wound healing properties of dHACM in bilateral alveoloplasty patients. Materials and Methods: A prospective split-mouth study was conducted on 10 patients. Site A received sutures with dHACM and site B was sutured without dHACM. Wound healing was assessed with the Landry, Turnbull, and Howley Index. Results: Sites A and site B were compared. A P<0.05 and a test value of 22 was obtained, indicating a statistical difference between the two sites. Conclusion: Our study showed better healing with dHACM than without.

“…Due to the mentioned disadvantages of surgical procedures, various alternative techniques for OAC closure have developed recently. These contain use of alloplastic materials (bio‐absorbable root analogues, hydroxyapatite), auto‐transplantation (bone transplant, third molar transplant), allo‐transplantation (fascia lata, dura mater, Human amniotic membrane), xenografts (bone materials, Collagen), prosthetic management and guided tissue regeneration techniques including autologous platelet or leukocytes (platelet‐rich fibrin and platelet‐ and leukocyte‐rich fibrin) 1,10,16,11,19,20 . Figure 1 shows the currently used techniques for OAC closure.…”

Non‐surgical management of oro‐antral communication using platelet‐rich fibrin: A review of the literature

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Oro‐antral communication (OAC) is an opening between the maxillary sinus and the oral cavity, which can provide a pathway to cause an infection of the maxillary sinus. Although surgical techniques propose many advantages, several drawbacks have been reported in the previous studies. Bioactive modifiers such as platelet‐rich fibrin (PRF) are widely being used in oral surgery. Various studies have been conducted for closure of OACs using PRF. Due to the heterogeneity of the techniques found, we opted for a literature review to highlight the variety of techniques discussed in the literature. A comprehensive search of the PubMed, Google Scholar and Cochrane databases was performed for published articles between 2014 and 2021. Keywords for OAC management and repair and inclusion criteria were used to screen articles for final review. Out of 195 articles found, 12 articles were included to the study. Eight studies performed simple direct application of PRF clots, 2 studies used PRF in combination with collagen membrane and in 2 studies the treatment plan was to use buccal advancement flap reinforced by PRF. There were several variations among approaches to the closure of OAC using PRF in terms of treatment planning, pre‐ and post‐operative medication and preparation of PRF. Despite the mentioned variations, review of recent studies showed that all of the cases experienced full epithelialisation of OAC. This technique, without manipulation of any additional flaps and auto‐grafts, has several advantages. However, further research, both experimental and clinical, is necessary to unravel the success rate of using PRF in the management of OACs.
