Stem cell-mediated root regeneration offers opportunities to regenerate a bio-root and its associated periodontal tissues to restore tooth loss. Periodontal ligament (PDL) and cementum complex and dentin pulp complex have been tissue engineered using human dental pulp stem cells and PDL stem cells, respectively. The aim of this study was to explore whether dentin formation could be induced using an inductive substrate and whether bioengineered dentin could induce cementum and PDL formation. First, dentin was bioengineered from tooth papillae of Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats with an inductive substrate, and its phenotype was characterized; then primarily cultured human PDL cells were seeded on the surface of dentin and transplanted under the skin of immunocompromised mice. Histological, immunohistochemical, and scanning electronic microscopy examinations results showed that bioengineered dentin could induce cementogenesis and PDL formation, and condense PDL arranged perpendicularly on the dentin surface via a layer of cementum-like tissue. The results indicated that tissue-engineered dentin could be induced using an inductive substrate and could be used as a further substrate for cementum and PDL tissue engineering.
