Customization and the production of patient-specific devices, tailoring unique anatomy each patient's jaw facial structures, are new frontiers in dentistry maxillofacial surgery. As a technological advancement, additive manufacturing has been applied to produce customized objects based on 3D computerized models. Therefore, this paper presents advances strategies for devices diverse dental specialties.
The quest for finding a suitable scaffold system that supports cell survival and function and, ultimately, the regeneration of pulp–dentin complex remains challenging. Herein, we hypothesized dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) encapsulated in collagen-based hydrogel with varying stiffness would regenerate functional dentin when concentrically injected into tooth slices. Collagen hydrogels concentrations 3 mg/mL (Col3) 10 (Col10) were prepared, their microstructure assessed using rheometer...
Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect two surface conditioning methods on microtensile bond strength a resin cement three high-strength core ceramics: high alumina-based (In-Ceram Alumina, Procera AllCeram) and zirconia-reinforced (in-Ceram Zirconia) ceramics. Materials Methods: Ten blocks (5 x 6 8 mm) In-Ceram Alumina (AL), Zirconia (ZR), (PR) ceramics were fabricated according each manufacturer's instructions duplicated in composite. specimens assigned one following...
Here we report the synthesis, materials characterization, antimicrobial capacity, and cytocompatibility of novel antibiotic-containing scaffolds. Metronidazole (MET) or Ciprofloxacin/(CIP) was mixed with a polydioxanone (PDS)polymer solution at 5 25 wt% processed into fibers. PDS fibers served as control. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), tensile testing, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) were used to assess fiber morphology,...
Bioprinting, a promising field in regenerative medicine, holds great potential to create three-dimensional, defect-specific vascularized bones with tremendous opportunities address unmet craniomaxillofacial reconstructive challenges. A cytocompatible bioink is critical prerequisite successfully regenerate functional bone tissue. Synthetic self-assembling peptides have nanofibrous structure resembling the native extracellular matrix (ECM), making them an excellent component. Amorphous...
A photocrosslinkable gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) hydrogel has been widely examined in regenerative engineering because of its good cell–tissue affinity and degradability the presence matrix metalloproteinases. halloysite aluminosilicate nanotube (HNT) is a known reservoir for loading sustained delivery therapeutics. Here, we formulate injectable chlorhexidine (CHX)-loaded nanotube-modified GelMA that cytocompatible biodegradable provides release CHX infection ablation while displaying...
Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory condition that often causes serious damage to tooth-supporting tissues. The limited successful outcomes of clinically available approaches underscore the need for therapeutics cannot only provide structural guidance cells but can also modulate local immune response. Here, three-dimensional melt electrowritten (
Major advances in the field of periodontal tissue engineering have favored fabrication biodegradable membranes with tunable physical and biological properties for guided bone regeneration (GBR). Herein, we engineered innovative nanoscale beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP)-laden gelatin methacryloyl/polycaprolactone (GelMA/PCL-TCP) photocrosslinkable composite fibrous via electrospinning. Chemo-morphological findings showed that microfibers had a uniform porous network β-TCP particles...
An electrospun nanocomposite fibrous material holds promise as a scaffold, well drug-delivery device to aid in root maturogenesis and the regeneration of pulp–dentine complex. A novel three-dimensional (3D) scaffold composed polydioxanone (PDS II®) halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) was designed fabricated by electrospinning. Morphology, structure, mechanical properties cell compatibility studies were carried out evaluate effects HNTs incorporation (0.5–10 wt% relative PDS w/w). Overall, 3D porous...
