Sub-Regional Differences of the Human Amniotic Membrane and Their Potential Impact on Tissue Regeneration Application.

ABSTRACT: For more than 100 years, the human amniotic membrane (hAM) has been used in multiple tissue regeneration applications. The hAM consists of cells with stem cell characteristics and a rich layer of extracellular matrix. Undoubtedly, the hAM with viable cells has remarkable properties such as the differentiation potential into all three germ layers, immuno-modulatory, and anti-fibrotic properties. At first sight, the hAM seems to be one structural entity. However, by integrating its anatomical location, the hAM can be divided into placental, reflected, and umbilical amniotic membrane. Recent studies show that cells of these amniotic sub-regions differ considerably in their properties such as morphology, structure, and content/release of certain bioactive factors. The aim of this review is to summarize these findings and discuss the relevance of these different properties for tissue regeneration. In summary, reflected amnion seems to be more immuno-modulatory and could have a higher reprogramming efficiency, whereas placental amnion seems to be pro-inflammatory, pro-angiogenic, with higher proliferation and differentiation capacity (e.g., chondrogenic and osteogenic), and could be more suitable for certain graft constructions. Therefore, we suggest that the respective hAM sub-region should be selected in consideration of its desired outcome. This will help to optimize and fine-tune the clinical application of the hAM.

Project description:BackgroundThe concept of periodontal regeneration has been revolutionised since the introduction of growth factors and bioactive bone substitutes which ensures optimal regeneration of the diseased periodontium. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of Amniotic membrane + Biphasic Calcium phosphate as compared to Collagen membrane + Biphasic Calcium phosphate for the management of periodontal intrabony defects.Methods50 systemically healthy patients with localised moderate to severe periodontitis, sites which had a Probing Pocket Depth (PPD) ≥ 6 mm and an intrabony component of ≥ 3 mm as detected on Intra oral periapical radiographs (IOPAR) and bone sounding were recruited based on specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. They were randomly allocated by computer generated tables to Collagen membrane + Biphasic Calcium phosphate and Amniotic membrane + Biphasic Calcium phosphate groups. The amount of bone fill and changes in Probing Pocket Depth, Clinical Attachment Level were measured at baseline and six months.ResultsThe results of the present study showed a mean reduction in the PPD of 2.89 ± 0.69 mm in the Collagen membrane + Biphasic Calcium phosphate group and 2.95 ± 0.57 mm in the Amniotic membrane + Biphasic Calcium phosphate group and CAL gain of 2.60 ± 1.43 mm in Collagen membrane + Biphasic Calcium phosphate group 3.18 ± 1.13 mm in the Amniotic membrane + Biphasic Calcium phosphate group at 6 months follow-up with no statistical significance between the groups. In terms of Defect resolution, 98.62 ± 6.51 % was achieved in Collagen membrane + Biphasic Calcium phosphate group and 98.25 ± 7.21 % in Amniotic membrane + Biphasic Calcium phosphate group.ConclusionsWithin the limitations of the present study, it can be concluded that AM can be used as a barrier membrane, in conjunction with Biphasic calcium phosphate, and provides comparable results to Collagen membrane with Biphasic calcium phosphate when used in the management of periodontal intrabony defects.
