The aim of this retrospective case series was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of nanohydroxyapatite powder (NHA) in combination with polylactic acid/polyglycolic acid copolymer (PLGA) as a bone replacement graft in the surgical treatment of intrabony periodontal defects. Medical charts were screened following inclusion and exclusion criteria. Periodontal parameters and periapical radiographs taken before surgery and at 12-month follow-up were collected. Intra-group comparisons were performed using a two-tailed Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Twenty-five patients (13 males, 12 females, mean age 55.1 ± 10.5 years) were included in the final analysis. Mean probing depth (PD) and clinical attachment level (CAL) at baseline were 8.32 ± 1.41 mm and 9.96 ± 1.69 mm, respectively. Twelve months after surgery, mean PD was 4.04 ± 0.84 mm and CAL was 6.24 ± 1.71 mm. Both PD and CAL variations gave statistically significant results (p < 0.00001). The mean radiographic defect depth was 5.54 ± 1.55 mm and 1.48 ± 1.38 mm at baseline and at 12-month follow-up, respectively (p < 0.0001). This case series, with the limitations inherent in the study design, showed that the combination of NHA and PLGA, used as bone replacement graft in intrabony periodontal defects, may give significant improvements of periodontal parameters at 12-month follow-up.

Background. Biodegradable polymers are one of the most promising groups of materials suitable for creating tissue-engineered scaffolds. The high interest in biopolymers is associated with the possibility of creating scaffolds with desired properties, through the use of mixtures and copolymers. The determination of the key parameters of biocompatibility is the basic purpose for testing created materials.Objective. To perform the comparative in vitro study of biocompatibility properties of biopolymer scaffolds produced using polycaprolactone, polylactic acid, their mixtures and copolymers by electrospinning technology.Design and methods. The adhesion properties and cytotoxicity of scaffolds made from polycaprolactone, polylactic acid, copolymer of L- and D-isoforms of lactic acid, their mixtures and co-polymers with the addition of polyglycolic acid were investigated after scaffolds co-cultivation with human mesenchyme stem cells (MSC).Results. The largest number of spread spindle-shaped MSCs was on the surface of polymers containing polyglycolic acid. Besides, the cells on the surface of the copolymer with polyglycolic acid had the morphology closest to the control. The lowest number of living cells was found on the surface of polylactic acid scaffolds, and the highest on the surface of samples from of polycaprolactone and polylactic acid blend.Conclusion. Thus, all tested polymers had good adhesion properties in experiments with human mesenchyme stem cells were possessed by biodegradable polymers with the addition of polyglycolic acid.

AbstractPolylactic acid (PLA) is one of the most commonly used materials in the biomedical sector because of its processability, mechanical properties and biocompatibility. Among the different techniques that are feasible to process this biomaterial, additive manufacturing (AM) has gained attention recently, as it provides the possibility of tuning the design of the structures. This flexibility in the design stage allows the customization of the parts in order to optimize their use in the tissue engineering field. In the recent years, the application of PLA for the manufacture of bone scaffolds has been especially relevant, since numerous studies have proven the potential of this biomaterial for bone regeneration. This review contains a description of the specific requirements in the regeneration of bone and how the state of the art have tried to address them with different strategies to develop PLA-based scaffolds by AM techniques and with improved biofunctionality.
