Abstract
Periodontitis, a chronic inflammatory disease of the gums affects both the ligament and alveolar bone. A severe form of periodontal disease affects a strikingly high number of one billion adults globally. The disease permutes both the soft and hard tissues of the oral cavity leading to localized and systemic diseases. Periodontitis has a deleterious impact on systemic health causing diabetes, cardiovascular diseases (CVD), and other disease. The cause of the enhanced inflammatory process is due to dysbiosis and an unregulated immune response. Innate immune response and T cells trigger uninhibited cytokine release causing an unwarranted inflammatory response. The RANK- RANKL interaction between osteoblasts, immune cells, and progenitor osteoclasts results in the maturation of osteoclasts, which promote bone resorption. It is well established that dysbiosis of the oral cavity has been implicated in periodontitis. But emerging reports suggest that the pulmonary pathogen, Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), causes extrapulmonary diseases such as periodontitis. Many clinical case reports advocate the involvement of Mtb in periodontitis, which poses a threat with the surge of tuberculosis in HIV and other immunocompromised individuals. Fostering a better understanding of the mechanism, causative agents and control on inflammatory response is imperative in the prevention and treatment of periodontitis.

Abstract
The development of flexible and porous materials to control antibacterial delivery is a pivotal endeavor in medical science. In this study, we aimed to produce long and defect-free fibers made of zein and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose acetate succinate (HPMCAS) to be used as a platform for the release of metronidazole (MDZ) and metronidazole benzoate (BMDZ) to be potentially used in periodontal treatment. Microfibers prepared via electrospinning under a 2:3 (w/w) zein to HPMCAS ratio, containing 0.5 % (w/w) poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) and 1 % (w/w) cellulose nanofibril (CNF) were loaded with 40 % (w/w) MDZ, 40 % (w/w) BMDZ, or a combination of 20 % (w/w) of each drug. The addition of CNF improved the electrospinning process, resulting in long fibers with reduced MDZ and BMDZ surface crystallization. MDZ- and BMDZ-incorporated fibers were semicrystalline and displayed commendable compatibility among drugs, nanocellulose and polymeric chains. Release tests showed that zein/HPMCAS/PEO fibers without CNF and with 20 % (w/w) MDZ/ 20 % (w/w) BMDZ released the drug at a slower and more sustained rate compared to other samples over extended periods (up to 5 days), which is a favorable aspect concerning periodontitis treatment.

Cell-Friendly Chitosan-Xanthan Gum Membranes Incorporating Hydroxyapatite Designed for Periodontal Tissue Regeneration. Pharmaceutics 2023; 15:pharmaceutics15020705. [PMID: 36840027 PMCID: PMC9962096 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics15020705] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2022] [Revised: 02/03/2023] [Accepted: 02/11/2023] [Indexed: 02/22/2023] Open
Abstract
In this work, a simple method was proposed to produce dense composite polysaccharide-based membranes to be used for guided tissue and guided bone regeneration. The mucoadhesive polysaccharides chitosan (C) and xanthan gum (X) were used to produce polyelectrolyte-based complex membranes. Hydroxyapatite (HA) was added to the formulation as a potential drug carrier, in C:X:HA mass proportions equal to 1:1:0.4, 1:1:2, and 1:1:10, and also to improve membranes bioactivity and biomimetic properties. FTIR analysis indicated successful incorporation of HA in the membranes and XRD analysis showed that no changes in the HA crystalline structure were observed after incorporation. The residual mass evaluated by TGA was higher for the formulation produced at the proportion 1:1:10. The membranes produced showed asymmetrical surfaces, with distinct roughness. Increasing the HA concentration increased the surface roughness. Greater in vitro proliferation of dental pulp mesenchymal stem cells was observed on the surface of the membrane with 1:1:10 C:X:HA proportion. However, the 1:1:2 formulation showed the most adequate balance of mechanical and biological properties. These results suggest that adding HA to the membranes can influence mechanical parameters as well as cell adhesion and proliferation, supporting the potential application of these materials in regenerative techniques and the treatment of periodontal lesions.
