Scaffolds in Periodontal Regeneration
Journal Title: Journal of Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Periodontal tissue engineering requires triad of cells, inductive component and a scaffold on which growth can occur. Previously periodontal treatment was aimed to selectively repopulate the defect site with cell that has capability to regenerate lost tissue by using the concept of guided tissue regeneration. However, this technique is not always possible. Use of scaffolds that can also deliver cells required for regeneration to occur is relatively a newer concept. A biomaterial is defined as a nonviable material used in a medical device, intended to interact with biological systems. For a device to be effective, it has to meet certain criteria based on organ and tissue properties and specific goals. Every material available in market has its own advantages and disadvantages. This review will mainly focus on the devices along with the advancement taking place related to cell delivery system.

A Study on Budesonide/ Formoterol vs. Fluticasone/ Salmeterol Inhaled Combination in Moderate to Severe Asthma
Background and Objectives The addition of an inhaled long-acting β2-agonist (LABA) to an inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) gives optimal control of asthma in most patients. The LABA salmeterol xinafoate (salmeterol) with inha...
Flavonoids from the Seeds of Hovenia acerba and Their In vitro Antiviral Activity
A new flavonoid, 6″′-acetyl-spinosin (12), together with 14 known flavonoids, were isolated from Hovenia acerba. Their structures were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic methods. The rotamers of four flavonoid C-glyco...
Comparative Study of Functional Outcome in Colles’ Fracture Treated Conservatively by Closed Reduction and Cast and Closed Reduction, Kirschner Wire and Cast
Displaced Colles’ fractures are generally treated by closed reduction and below elbow cast application. Malunion is a common complication resulting in pain, mid carpal instability and post-traumatic arthritis. Fracture s...
