Electrospinned bioactive glass/nano hydroxyapatite reinforced polycaprolactone GTR/GBR membranes in periodontics- A review
Journal Title: IP International Journal of Periodontology and Implantology - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Periodontitis a chronic inflammatory infectious disease triggered by an interaction between microbial biofilm and host response leading to gingival bleeding connective tissue destruction alveolar bone loss and finally causing tooth loss Periodontal regeneration or restoration is the ultimate goal of any periodontal treatment This can be achieved by GTRGBR Guided Tissue RegenerationGuided Bone Regeneration membranes along with bone replacement grafts With the evolution of Tissue engineering and different generation of GTRGBR nanofibrous membranes periodontal restoration or regeneration can be easily and rapidly achieved Nanofibrous GTRGBR Membranes can be fabricated using natural or synthetic polymers by different techniques such as Phase separation Self assembly and Electrospinning Espinning Of these Espinning is the most widely studied technique and also seems to exhibit the most promising results for Tissue EngineeringTE applications This review addresses the Electrospinning method of GTRGBR membrane fabrication using Bioactive Glass BGNano HydroxyapatitenHAP reinforced polycaprolactone polymer and its advantages and disadvantages Keywords Electrospinning Guided Tissue Regeneration Periodontal Regeneration
