The periodontium is a highly hierarchical and dynamic structure responsible for tooth attachment and stability. Periodontal disease affects the structures supporting the tooth, namely periodontal ligament (PDL), alveolar bone and cementum. Current regenerative treatments show limited and unpredictable results, and fail to effectively promote a comp...

The periodontium is a complex hierarchical structure composed of alveolar bone, periodontal ligament, cementum, and gingiva. Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease that damages and destroys the periodontal tissues supporting the tooth. Periodontal therapies aim to regenerate the lost tissues, yet current treatments lack the integration of multipl...

Periodontium is a complex structure that supports the teeth, composed of gingiva, cementum, periodontal ligament, and alveolar bone. Destruction of the alveolar bone can occur due to periodontitis, trauma, or following tumor resection. Current reconstructive treatments are based on the use of bone grafts with limited efficacy and predictability, la...

Periodontitis is a destructive inflammatory disease characterized by microbial infection that damages the tissues supporting the tooth (alveolar bone, gingiva, periodontal ligament, and cementum), ultimately resulting in the loss of teeth. The ultimate goal of periodontal therapy is to achieve the regeneration of all of the periodontal tissues. Thu...

Periodontitis is an inflammatory infection caused by bacterial plaque accumulation that affects the periodontal tissues supporting the teeth. Current treatments lack bioactive signals to induce tissue repair and coordinated regeneration of all the periodontal tissues, thus alternative strategies are needed to improve clinical outcomes. Cell-derived...

Periodontitis is an inflammatory infection caused by bacterial plaque accumulation that affects the periodontal tissues responsible for tooth attachment and support. Current treatments lack effective strategies to induce tissue repair and coordinated regeneration of all periodontal tissues, increasing the demand for alternative solutions to improve...

Periodontitis is an inflammatory infection caused by bacterial plaque accumulation that affects the periodontal tissues. Current treatments lack bioactive signals to induce tissue repair and coordinated regeneration of the periodontium, thus alternative strategies are needed to improve clinical outcomes. Electrospun nanofibers present high porosity...

Periodontitis is an inflammatory infection caused by bacterial plaque accumulation that affects the periodontium, a complex structure of different tissues (cementum, periodontal ligament and alveolar bone) that surrounds and supports the teeth. Current treatments lack bioactive signals to induce tissue repair and coordinated regeneration of the per...
