Advancements in Fabrication and Application of Chitosan Composites in Implants and Dentistry: A Review. Biomolecules 2022; 12:biom12020155. [PMID: 35204654 PMCID: PMC8961661 DOI: 10.3390/biom12020155] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2021] [Revised: 01/13/2022] [Accepted: 01/15/2022] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Chitosan is a biopolymer that is found in nature and is produced from chitin deacetylation. Chitosan has been studied thoroughly for multiple applications with an interdisciplinary approach. Antifungal antibacterial activities, mucoadhesion, non-toxicity, biodegradability, and biocompatibility are some of the unique characteristics of chitosan-based biomaterials. Moreover, chitosan is the only widely-used natural polysaccharide, and it is possible to chemically modify it for different applications and functions. In various fields, chitosan composite and compound manufacturing has acquired much interest in developing several promising products. Chitosan and its derivatives have gained attention universally in biomedical and pharmaceutical industries as a result of their desired characteristics. In the present mini-review, novel methods for preparing chitosan-containing materials for dental and implant engineering applications along with challenges and future perspectives are discussed.

Abstract
Slow tissue ingrowth is the major drawback for the use of calcium phosphate cements; to address the issue, salmon calcitonin–loaded biodegradable poly(lactide- co-glycolide) microspheres were incorporated into calcium phosphate cement in this study. The effects of poly(lactide- co-glycolide) weight ratio on the mechanical strength, self-setting properties, and salmon calcitonin release ability of calcium phosphate cement were systematically investigated. The in vitro degradation behavior and the cumulative mass loss (%) of the composite during incubation in phosphate-buffered saline were studied. The release of salmon calcitonin was sustained for at least 35 days, and the release rate can be tailored by adjusting the ratio of PLGA. The scanning electron microscopic images of the composites after incubation for 48 days indicated that the poly(lactide- co-glycolide) degraded completely and formed a porous structure in the calcium phosphate cement. An in vitro cell culture of the calcium phosphate cement/salmon calcitonin–poly(lactide- co-glycolide) cement provided more biocompatible than calcium phosphate cement. This composite possesses the basic performance for clinical needs, and it has potential use for treating osteoporosis and accelerating bone repair.

Abstract
Carboxymethylchitosan/poly(amidoamine) (CMCht/PAMAM) dendrimer nanoparticles, comprised of a PAMAM dendrimer core grafted with chains of CMCht, have recently been proposed for intracellular drug delivery. In previous reports, these nanoparticles had lower levels of cytotoxicity when compared with traditional dendrimers. In this study, the short-term in vivo biodistribution of fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-labeled CMCht/PAMAM dendrimer nanoparticles after intravenous (IV) injections in Wistar Han rats was determined. The brain, liver, kidney, and lung were collected at 24, 48, and 72 h after injection and stained with phalloidin–tetramethylrhodamine isothiocyanate (TRITC, red) and 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole dihydrochloride (DAPI, blue) to trace the nanoparticles within these tissues. The liver, kidney, and lung were also stained for hematoxylin and eosin to assess any morphological alterations of these organs. CMCht/PAMAM dendrimer nanoparticles were observed within the vascular space and parenchyma of liver, kidney, and lung and in the choroid plexus, after each injection period. No particles were observed in the brain parenchyma, nor any apparent deleterious histological changes were observed within these organs. The CMCht/PAMAM dendrimer nanoparticles were stable in circulation for a period of up to 72 h, targeting the main organs/systems through internalization by the cells present in their parenchyma. These results provide positive indicators to their potential use in the future as intracellular drug delivery systems.

Abstract
Hydrogels are physically or chemically cross-linked polymer networks that are able to absorb large amounts of water. They can be classified into different categories depending on various parameters including the preparation method, the charge, and the mechanical and structural characteristics. The present review aims to give an overview of hydrogels based on natural polymers and their various applications in the field of tissue engineering. In a first part, relevant parameters describing different hydrogel properties and the strategies applied to finetune these characteristics will be described. In a second part, an important class of biopolymers that possess thermosensitive properties (UCST or LCST behavior) will be discussed. Another part of the review will be devoted to the application of cryogels. Finally, the most relevant biopolymer-based hydrogel systems, the different methods of preparation, as well as an in depth overview of the applications in the field of tissue engineering will be given.

Abstract
Rapid prototyping (RP)-based highly porous poly(DL-lactic-co-glycolic acid)/tricalcium phosphate (PLGA/TCP(RP)) scaffolds were fabricated. PLGA/TCP constructs (PLGA/TCP(TS)) were also made via thermally induced phase separation with solvent casting and by particulate leaching approach. Both scaffolds were loaded with bovine bone protein extract (BBPE). Sixty-four New Zealand white rabbits were randomized into four groups (groups of A, B, C, and D) and unilaterally underwent posterior lumbar interlaminar fusion at L2—L4 level. Spinal fusions were systematically evaluated. In groups of A (PLGA/TCP (RP)/BBPE constructs) and C (autogenous iliac bone grafts), good bone fusions occurred in vivo. Histological analyses indicated that endochondral ossification played an essential role in initiation of bone fusions in group A, whereas in group B (PLGA/TCP(TS)/BBPE constructs), few bone fusions were observed. In group D (PLGA/TCP(RP) scaffolds alone), the scaffolds were biocompatible and biodegradable; however, no newly formed bone mass or bone fusion was found. Twelve weeks after surgery, the fusion was significantly higher in groups of A and C compared with groups B and D (p<0.01). The PLGA/ TCP(RP)/BBPE biomaterials have potential as grafting substitutes for bone healing and spinal fusion.
