Immunomodulatory Antibacterial Hydrogel for Wound Infection Management.

Background: Wound healing has always been a focal point in clinical work. Bacterial infections and immune microenvironment disorders can both hinder normal wound healing. Current wound dressings only serve a covering function.

Sustained delivery of osteogenic growth peptide through injectable photoinitiated composite hydrogel for osteogenesis.

One of the most challenging clinical issues continues to be the effective bone regeneration and rebuilding following bone abnormalities. Although osteogenic growth peptide (OGP) has been proven to be effective in promoting osteoblast activity, its clinical application is constrained by abrupt release and easily degradation. We developed a GelMA/HAMA dual network hydrogel loaded with OGP based on a combination of physical chain entanglement and chemical cross-linking effects to produce an efficient long-term sustained release of OGP.

Development of a minimally invasive surgical guide template for flapless extraction of deeply impacted premolars: A technical note and case report.

The emergence of digital surgical guide templates in alveolar surgery has rapidly increased in the past decade, coinciding with the advancements in 3D printing technology. In contrast to conventional freehand procedures, the utilization of digital templates serves as a 'bridge' that facilitates the extraction of impacted teeth with expedited and accurate intraoperative localization, resulting in a notable reduction in surgical duration, minimized trauma, and lowered risk. However, there is significant scope for enhancements in surgical techniques and refinement of surgical guide templates.
