Biodegradable polymers, known for their ability to naturally decompose within the body, have become a game-changer in dentistry. These materials simplify treatment processes and eliminate the need for secondary surgeries.

 Key Applications

These materials are used in bone regeneration, root canal fillers, and tissue regeneration membranes. Polycaprolactone (PCL), known for its flexibility and slow degradation, is particularly effective in dental applications.

Controlled Drug Delivery

Polymers like poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) are utilized for targeted drug delivery in treating gum diseases. This innovation ensures more efficient treatments with fewer side effects.

Biocompatibility and Safety

Biodegradable materials are highly compatible with the body, degrading naturally without causing inflammation or damage. This makes them a safe and effective choice for dental treatments.

With ongoing research, these materials are expected to be widely adopted in dentistry. They not only improve treatment quality but also provide a sustainable and minimally invasive approach for patients.
