Q

T/F: Stem cells have surface markers.

26
Q

T/F: Adult or Multipotent stem cells can only differentiate into a specific subset of cells.

27
Q

T/F: Multipotent stem cells are slow.

28
Q

T/F: Multipotent stem cells are easy to obtain.

29
Q

T/F: Multipotent stem cells produce soft tissues only.

A

False, most hard or soft tissues

30
Q

Induced stems cells are a new practice which employs adult stem cells and changes them to ____.

A

pluripotent stem cells
(babies Pee a lot…embryo = P (pluripotent))
(Men = M (multipotent))

31
Q

What does SHED stand for?

A

Stem-cells from
Human
Exfoliated
Deciduous teeth

32
Q

What does SCAP stand for?

A

Stem
Cells from
Apical
Papilla

33
Q

Dental Pulp Stem Cells (DPSC) are _______ stem cells from dental pulp of permanent teeth.

A

mesenchymal

34
Q

How are lasers being used to regenerate dentin?

A
  • laser generated ROS
  • ROS will stimulate TGF-beta1
  • TGF activation will stimulate production of tertiary dentin
35
Q

T/F: Scaffolds promote the body’s ability to heal and regenerate.

36
Q

T/F: The problem with natural scaffolds is the batch-to-batch variation.

37
Q

What is an autograft?

A

tissue is removed from one site and placed at another within the same host

38
Q

What is an allograft?

A 
Harvested tissues (usually cadavers)
-can be bone, skin, connective tissue
39
Q

T/F: Cornea allografts can be acquired from a cadaver.

40
Q

What is a xenograft?

A

tissue obtained from a different species

41
Q

T/F: Xenografts are the most plentiful natural supply source

42
Q

Synthetic scaffolds can be either ____, ____, or ____.

A

polymer, ceramic, or metal

43
Q

T/F: It is difficult to achieve a biocompatible scaffold.

44
Q

What are alloplasts?

A

synthetic scaffolds

45
Q

What is the most common tissue engineering done clinically?

A

periodontal (guided tissue regen)

46
Q

What makes a good TE scaffold?

A
  • biogradable
  • nontoxic
  • promotes regeneration
  • can modulate properties
47
Q

T/F: The advantage of polymers is that they can be easily processed.

48
Q

T/F: At the micro level, TE polymers should have no porosity.

A

FALSE, porosity allows for diffusion of nutrients and cells for growth

49
Q

Pore Sizes:
Fibroblast ingrowth _____
Skin _____
Bone _____

A 
fibroblast = 20 microns
skin = 20-125 microns
bone = 100-250 microns
50
Q

When using salt leaching, salt is added to PLA (polyLactic acid) solution, solvent is evaporated, salt is extracted with water, and eventually pore interconnect. What % porosity is needed for interconnection to occur?

51
Q

T/F: Most amino acids are optically active.

52
Q

T/F: Amino acids have functional groups and sites for drug delivery.

53
Q

T/F: Amino acids regulate cell/biological functions

54
Q

_____ is a peptide sequence to promote cell adhesion.

55
Q

T/F: Both RGD and RDG have the same adhesion effects.

A

False,
R-G-D = adhesion (ReallyGooD)
R-D-G = no adhesion (Really Don’t Go)

56
Q

T/F: The degradation timing of PLGA does not matter.

A

False, scaffold must disappear as the tissue is regrowing

57
Q

T/F: Degradation of PLGA is controlled via the ratio of lactic acid and glycolic acid.

A

True,

P…L (lactic)…G (glycolic)…A (acid)

58
Q

T/F: Degradation of PLGA is controlled by water diffusion.

59
Q

T/F: Anything that affects water diffusion will affect the degradation rate of PLGA.

60
Q

Which two properties of scaffolds are most important?

A
  • bioactivity

- degradation
