Failure to process dentin sialophosphoprotein into fragments leads to periodontal defects in mice
In this study, we analyzed the periodontal tissues from transgenic mice expressing the uncleavable full?length DSPP in the Dspp knockout (Dspp?KO) background (named ‘Dspp?KO/D452A?Tg mice’), in comparison with those from wild?type mice, Dspp?KO mice, and mice expressing the normal Dspp transgene in the Dspp?KO background (designated ‘Dspp?KO/normal?Tg mice’). We found that transgenic expression of the normal DSPP fully rescued the periodontal defects of the Dspp?KO mice, whereas this was not the case in Dspp?KO/D452A?Tg mice. These results indicate that proteolytic processing of DSPP is essential to periodontal integrity. (Source: European Journal of Oral Sciences)

ConclusionAfter 12 weeks of healing, neither grafting nor implant type seemed to influence BIC. Use of an activated implant surface did not increase BIC when compared with a conventional implant. The synthetic graft seemed to improve BIC values after 26 weeks. (Source: Clinical Oral Implants Research)
