Abstract

Background and Objective

After tooth extraction, the extraction socket undergoes several steps of soft and hard tissue healing. The healing process of the extraction socket is modulated by a range of signaling factors and biochemical agents. It has been reported that resveratrol, a polyphenolic compound, exhibits various biological effects, including anti-inflammatory, anti-carcinogenic, antioxidant, and anti-aging effects, and protects cardiovascular and bone tissues. In this study, we examined the cellular effects of resveratrol on human periodontal ligament (hPDL) cells and osteoblast-like (MC3T3-E1) cells and evaluated the bone-healing capacity of tooth extraction sockets in mice.

Material and Methods

Resveratrol was applied to hPDL and MC3T3-E1 cells to detect cell proliferation and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, and qPCR was employed to understand the gene expression level in vitro. For in vivo experiment, six-week-old C57BL/6 male mice were randomly divided into control (n = 15) and experimental (n = 15) groups and maxillary first molars were extracted by surgery. Experimental groups received 50-µM resveratrol on extraction sockets and analyzed the degree of new bone formation.

Results

Treatment of hPDL and MC3T3-E1 cells with resveratrol increased the cell proliferation and ALP activity and enhanced the expression of ALP, BMP-2, BMP-4, and OC genes. Resveratrol enhanced new bone formation in the lingual extraction socket in mice.

Conclusion

These results suggest that resveratrol increases the cellular physiology of PDL and osteoblast including their proliferation and differentiation and may play an important role in bone-healing capacity after tooth extraction.
