Background: Disinfection of the root canal system is a challenge to all clinicians, calcium hydroxide Ca(OH) one of the most popular intracanal medications used for this purpose, has some unwanted effects on dentine. This study aimed to investigate the antibiofilm effect of Nanochitosan (CSNPs) and Calcium hydroxide Ca(OH) intra canal medications and their effect on the microhardness and chemical structure of radicular dentine.
Methodology: A total of 52 extracted human mandibular premolars were used.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate pulp regeneration by comparing the application of native chitosan-based scaffolds with enzymatically modified chitosan-based scaffolds in mature teeth with apical lesions, using clinical and radiographic assessments.
Methods: The eligibility criteria for this study were participants aged between 15-45 years, free from systemic diseases and with necrotic mature single-rooted teeth with periapical lesions. The teeth were equally and randomly allocated into three groups (1: 1: 1 allocation): Group A received treatment with a Blood Clot (BC) scaffold; Group B with a combination of Native Chitosan and Blood Clot (NCS+BC) scaffold; and Group C with Enzymatically-Modified Chitosan and Blood Clot (EMCS+BC) scaffold.

To address the challenge of adaptability between cement-based materials and conventional superabsorbent polymers (sodium polyacrylate, Na-PA), a chitosan-based superabsorbent polymer (CSP) with high salt and alkaline resistance was synthesized, and the optimal synthesis process was determined by a single-factor method. The macroscopic performance and microstructure of CSP and Na-PA were compared, and their influences on cement paste were studied. The results show that CSP exhibits a gradual swelling process during water absorption, which is independent of the solution environment.

Current transdermal drug delivery technologies, like patches and ointments, effectively deliver low molecular weight drugs through the skin. However, delivering larger, hydrophilic drugs and macromolecules remains a challenge. In the present study, we developed novel transdermal nanoneedle patches containing levofloxacin-loaded modified chitosan nanoparticles.
