Abstract
This study has two main objectives: 1) to evaluate in vitro the antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and inductive effects of cellular differentiation and dentin mineralization of the combination of antimicrobial peptides and flavonoids and 2) to characterize physicochemical and biologically hydrogels or chitosan nanoparticles containing these compounds for endodontic regeneration purposes. F…
Physicochemical and biological characterization of PNVCL hydrogels and chitosan nanoparticles containing antimicrobial peptides and flavonoids for application in regenerative endodontic procedures, BP.PD
Abstract
Endodontic treatment of young permanent teeth due to trauma or local infection before the normal physiological closure of the root apex represents a real clinical challenge. Cationic antimicrobial peptides and their synthetic analogs have been studied as alternatives to traditional antibiotics in eliminating microorganisms. The objective of this study is to evaluate the antimicrobial acti…
