There is a critical need for strategies that effectively enhance cell viability and post-
implantation performance in order to advance cell-based therapies. Spheroids, which are …

Bioactive nanomaterials are increasingly being applied in oral health research. Specifically,
they have shown great potential for periodontal tissue regeneration and have substantially …

Poly (lactic-glycolic acid)(PLGA) is a biocompatible bio-scaffold material, but its own
hydrophobic and electrically neutral surface limits its application as a cell scaffold. Polymer …

Aim Guided tissue regeneration has been considered a promising strategy to replace
conventional endodontic therapy of teeth with incomplete root formation. Therefore, the …

Hybrid scaffolds from natural and synthetic polymers have been widely used due to the
complementary nature of their physical and biological properties. The aim of the present …

Background Dental implants and abutments are exposed to challenging oral environment.
Corrosion of these materials can affect the overall performance of titanium implants. Purpose …

Pulpal pathology in young permanent teeth, caused by dental caries or trauma, can lead to
disruption of root formation, leaving the tooth with an uncertain prognosis. Current therapies …
