Three-dimensional ultrastructural and histomorphological analysis of the periodontal ligament with occlusal hypofunction via focused ion beam/scanning electron microscope tomography
The periodontal ligament (PDL) maintains the environment and function of the periodontium. The PDL has been remodelled in accordance with changes in mechanical loading. Three-dimensional (3D) structural data provide essential information regarding PDL function and dysfunction. However, changes in me...

description | The periodontal ligament (PDL) maintains the environment and function of the periodontium. The PDL has been remodelled in accordance with changes in mechanical loading. Three-dimensional (3D) structural data provide essential information regarding PDL function and dysfunction. However, changes in mechanical loading associated with structural changes in the PDL are poorly understood at the mesoscale. This study aimed to investigate 3D ultrastructural and histomorphometric changes in PDL cells and fibres associated with unloading condition (occlusal hypofunction), using focused ion beam/scanning electron microscope tomography, and to quantitatively analyse the structural properties of PDL cells and fibres. PDL cells formed cellular networks upon morphological changes induced via changes in mechanical loading condition. Drastic changes were observed in a horizontal array of cells, with a sparse and disorganised area of collagen bundles. Furthermore, collagen bundles tended to be thinner than those in the control group. FIB/SEM tomography enables easier acquisition of serial ultrastructural images and quantitative 3D data. This method is powerful for revealing 3D architecture in complex tissues. Our results may help elucidate architectural changes in the PDL microenvironment during changes in mechanical loading condition and regeneration, and advance a wide variety of treatments in dentistry. |
