Amniotic Membrane Biopolymer for Regenerative Medicine.

Biopolymers based on the amniotic membrane compare favorably with synthetic materials in that, along with a specific 2D structure, they have biologically active properties. However, in recent years, there has been a tendency to perform decellularization of the biomaterial during the preparation of the scaffold. In this study, we studied the microstructure of 157 samples and identified individual biological components in the manufacture of a medical biopolymer from an amniotic membrane using various methods.

Biopolymer Material from Human Spongiosa for Regenerative Medicine Application.

Natural biopolymers demonstrate significant bone and connective tissue-engineering application efficiency. However, the quality of the biopolymer directly depends on microstructure and biochemical properties. This study aims to investigate the biocompatibility and microstructural properties of demineralized human spongiosa Lyoplast (Samara, Russian Federation).

Raman Spectroscopy for Assessment of Hard Dental Tissues in Periodontitis Treatment.

The objective of this work was to use Raman spectroscopy to assess hard dental tissues after professional oral hygiene treatment and curettage. Spectral changes were identified, and the discriminant model of the specific changes of intensity of the Raman lines (i.e.

[Raman spectroscopy and its application in different areas of medicine].

The aim of the review is to learn about the areas of application of the Raman spectroscopy in medicine, particularly in dentistry. The method is widely used in biology, medicine, pharmacy, forensic science, gemology, food industry and other industries. The main advantages of Raman spectroscopy are no need for sample preparation and small amounts of the object of study, as well as the ability to contactlessly obtain unique information about the conformation and microenvironment of living cell molecules.

Raman Spectroscopy of Changes in the Tissues of Teeth with Periodontitis.

The results of experimental studies of the tissues of teeth with periodontitis, using the Raman spectroscopy method, are presented in this work. Spectral changes in the tissues of teeth with periodontitis were identified, and the results can be used for the correction of treatment of this disease in dental practice. Criteria for the noninvasive diagnosis of periodontitis, based on changes in tooth enamel spectral properties, were developed.
