A clinical case of bilateral cleft palate repair using previous tongue flap followed by Alveolar Bone Grafting(ABG). After pre-surgical orthodontics a surgical procedure whereby previous tongue Flaps were reflected, nasalbeds were prepared on both sides. A cortico-cancellous bone of 2 cm was harvested from iliac crest and grafted inclefts. Patient is kept on follow up to monitor healing, postoperative results and any post- operative complication.
Objective: To give a comprehensive understanding of the efficacy of antimicrobial-loaded scaffolds as drug delivery system for periodontal regeneration, and to review the recent advances in the field of periodontal regeneration.
Methods: The literature was reviewed using key words “antimicrobial releasing periodontal scaffolds” on Science Direct, PubMed and Web of Science search engines. Shortlisted articles were evaluated on the basis of specific inclusion-exclusion criteria.
Results: Of the 544 studies found, 34(6.25%) met the inclusion criteria. The trend indicated an increase in use of antimicrobial-loaded scaffolds that caused inhibition of periodontal pathogenic bacteria, accompanied with greater cellular interaction, and differentiation for alveolar bone healing. Contemporary treatment tactics clinically prove the ability to limit disease progression, but complete periodontal regeneration needs to be validated yet.
Conclusion: Emerging trends are not only improving the inhibitory effect of bacterial growth, but are also making a favourable environment for cell proliferation and differentiation, resulting in alveolar bone repair and re-growth.
Key Words: Periodontal scaffolds, Antimicrobials, Alveolar bone regeneration.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
