Bovine sponge amnion stimulates socket healing: A histological analysis.
J Adv Pharm Technol Res
January 2021
Bovine sponge amnion (BSA) is made from bovine amniotic membrane, which contains several growth factors with the ability to suppress inflammation and stimulate the healing process. The healing process of the socket is clinically marked by the proliferation of fibroblasts, formation of new blood vessels, and closure of the wound site. Fibroblasts and new blood vessels are the common histological indicators of tissue regeneration.

- Fig leaf extract shows potential as an alternative to sodium hypochlorite for root canal irrigation, demonstrating antibacterial effectiveness against bacteria commonly found in root canal infections.
- The study determined the minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of the extract, finding that a 50% concentration could completely inhibit bacterial growth while preserving cell viability.
- Results indicate that fig leaf extract is both effective at killing bacteria and safe for fibroblast cells, suggesting its potential use in dental treatments.
