ObjectiveTo evaluate the possible regenerative effect of allogenic gingival margin-derived stem cells (GMSCs) with or without autologous fibrin glue on partially dissected submandibular salivary glands of albino rats.MethodsForty rats were randomly divided into four equal groups. Group I, where no operation was performed, was considered the negative control. Group II rats were considered the positive control and were subjected to a rectangular cut on the outer surface of the center right of the submandibular salivary gland and received no other treatment. Groups III and IV rats were handled as those in group II, but the cut areas of group III were filled with fibrin glue and the cut borders of group IV were injected with 1×105cell/ml GMSCs and then glued with fibrin glue. Five animals from each group were euthanized at the end of the first postoperative week, while the remaining animals were euthanized at the end of the second postoperative week, i.e., end of the experiment.ResultsRegeneration of ductal, acinar, and myoepithelial cells was better in group IV. A two-way ANOVA for proliferating cell nuclear antigen and α-smooth muscle actin revealed an overall significant difference between the different groups (P<0.05). In addition, an LSD post hoc test for multiple comparisons revealed a significant difference between each two groups. An independent sample t-test revealed significant differences between time periods for groups II, III, and IV, but there were no significant differences between the time periods for group I.ConclusionInjecting GMSCs at the cut borders and gluing the cut area with autologous fibrin glue ameliorates the regeneration of partially dissected submandibular salivary gland better than using fibrin glue alone.
