Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Science
  • Regenerative Medicine
  • Periodontology

Background:

  • Periodontal regeneration remains a significant clinical challenge, requiring simultaneous restoration of multiple tissues.
  • Existing treatments often fall short in achieving comprehensive regeneration of cementum, gingiva, bone, and periodontal ligament (PDL).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a novel chitosan (CH)-based trilayer porous scaffold for simultaneous, multitissue periodontal regeneration.
  • To engineer a scaffold that supports the distinct healing requirements and mechanical properties of bone, gingiva, and PDL.

Main Methods:

  • Synthesized a trilayer scaffold using medium molecular weight (MMW) or low molecular weight (LMW) chitosan cross-linked with genipin for bone/gingiva compartments.
  • Created a PDL regeneration compartment via chitosan electrochemical deposition, forming oriented microchannels.
  • Conducted in vitro cytocompatibility and mechanical property assessments.
  • Performed in vivo biocompatibility, tissue ingrowth, and vascularization studies in mice.
  • Utilized a periodontal ectopic model in nude mice to assess matrix formation with seeded periodontal cells.

Main Results:

  • Scaffolds exhibited rapid water absorption (>85% in 5 min).
  • MMW-CH compartments showed slower degradation and superior compression resistance compared to LMW-CH, aligning with physiological healing rates.
  • High cell viability (>90%) and metabolic activity (alkaline phosphatase, collagen deposition) were observed in vitro.
  • In vivo studies demonstrated excellent biocompatibility, tissue ingrowth, and vascularization.
  • Ectopic models showed dense mineralized matrix formation in MMW-CH regions with seeded osteoblasts.

Conclusions:

  • The resorbable trilayer chitosan scaffold effectively supports simultaneous healing of multiple periodontal tissues.
  • The scaffold's tailored mechanical properties and structural design promote periodontal regeneration.
  • This innovative scaffold represents a promising therapeutic candidate for advanced periodontal regeneration strategies.
