Hydrophilic Sponges loaded with Curcumin solid lipid nanoparticles and Metronidazole applied on L-PRF clot to promote tissue regeneration in dentistry

2018

Leukocyte-and platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF) technology allows for the preparation of strong fibrin membranes enriched with cells (activated platelets, leukocytes, circulating cells) and platelet growth factors [1]. In dentistry, the use of this autologous platelet concentrates such as L-PRF, also in association with Metronidazole (MTR), seems an innovative approach for vestibular bone grafting on the alveolar ridges [2]. In addition, Curcumin (CUR), a natural polyphenol derived from the rhizome of the Curcuma longa, could be effectiveness on tissue regeneration due to its well-known antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties [3]. The aim of the present work was the development of bioerodib…
