文摘

Regeneration of alveolar bone is among the main purposes of periodontal treatment. However, it is a challenge for both dentists and patients. An injectable chitosan-based thermosensitive hydrogel scaffold (CS/CSn-GP) was successfully designed and prepared with the incorporation of bone morphogenetic protein-2 plasmid DNA (pDNA-BMP2)-loaded chitosan nanoparticles (CS/CSn(pDNA-BMP2)-GP) in this study. The aim of this study was to evaluate the regenerative effect of this scaffold on the endogenous repair of alveolar bone. Thermosensitive properties, SEM scans and in vivo inflammatory reactions and degradation were evaluated. The CS/CSn-GP solution was initially injected into the muscle pouches of rats, where it changed into a gel, resulting in non-specific inflammation. It effectively enhanced new bone formation in rat calvarial defects and enhanced bony defect healing in beagle dogs. All results indicated that the CS/CSn(pDNA-BMP2)-GP complex system is a potential candidate as a targeted, multi-effect scaffold for the endogenous repair of alveolar bone.
