Injectable biomaterials, such as thermosensitive chitosan (CH)-based hydrogels, present a highly translational potential in dentistry due to their minimally invasive application, adaptability to irregular defects/shapes, and ability to carry therapeutic drugs. This work explores the incorporation of azithromycin (AZI) into thermosensitive CH hydrogels for use as an intracanal medication in regenerative endodontic procedures (REPs). The morphological and chemical characteristics of the hydrogel were assessed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR).

- * Using various distribution modeling methods, the research predicts significant habitat loss for the Brazil nut by the end of the century, with up to 94% of its suitable area potentially disappearing across different climate scenarios.
- * The study finds that as conditions become unfavorable at lower altitudes, the Brazil nut may migrate to higher altitudes, and areas previously deemed unsuitable could later become habitable, which could aid in restoration efforts.
Objective: This scoping review (SR) aimed to investigate the impact of quercetin on mineralized dental tissues intended to be used in preventive and restorative dentistry.
Methods: This SR was conducted following the PRISMA-ScR statement. A comprehensive search was performed across databases for articles published up to March 2024.
Barrier membranes (BM) for guided bone regeneration (GBR) aim to support the osteogenic healing process of a defined bony defect by excluding epithelial (gingival) ingrowth and enabling osteoprogenitor and stem cells to proliferate and differentiate into bone tissue. Currently, the most widely used membranes for these approaches are collagen-derived, and there is a discrepancy in defining the optimal collagen membrane in terms of biocompatibility, strength, and degradation rates. Motivated by these clinical observations, we designed a collagen-free membrane based on l-valine--l-phenylalanine-poly(ester urea) (PEU) copolymer via electrospinning.
