Acceptability of Allogeneic Mesenchymal Stromal Cell–Based Tissue Engineering for the Treatment of Periodontitis: A Qualitative Study in France

Résumé

Introduction and aims : Periodontitis, the main cause of tooth loss in adults, is a public health concern; its incidence increases with age, and its prevalence increases with increasing life expectancy of the population. Innovative therapies such as cell therapy represent promising future solutions for guided tissue regeneration. However, these therapies may be associated with fears and mistrust from the general public. The aim of this study was to estimate the acceptability of an advanced therapy medicinal product combining allogeneic mesenchymal stromal cells from adipose tissue with a natural fibrin hydrogel in the treatment of periodontitis. Methods : The methodology was based on a qualitative study conducted through semi-structured interviews with patients followed for periodontitis in the Oral Medicine Department of the Toulouse University Hospital, Toulouse, France. Qualitative studies are essential methodologies to understand the patterns of health behaviours, describe illness experiences, and design health interventions in a humanistic and person-centred way of discovering. Results : Eleven interviews (with 4 men and 7 women) were required to reach thematic saturation. Analysis allowed 4 main themes to emerge: (1) perception of new treatments, science, and caregivers; (2) conditions that the treatment must meet; (3) patient perception of the disease; and (4) factors related to the content of the treatment. Conclusions : Patients find cell therapy for periodontitis to be acceptable. If they express a need to be informed about the benefit/risk ratio, they are not particularly worried about side effects of the treatment, for either allogeneic or blood-derived products. Periodontitis is a prototypical model of chronic inflammatory pathology and is multitissular, with hard- and soft-tissue lesions. In a patient-centred approach, the success of cell therapy will require a bilateral, informed decision, taking into account potential therapeutic effectiveness and patient expectations for regeneration.
