Effect of Polylactide/Glycolide (PLGA) Membranes Loaded With Metronidazole on Periodontal Regeneration Following Guided Tissue Regeneration in Dogs

Abstract: These results suggest that PLGA membranes with and without metronidazole may have a beneficial effect on periodontal regeneration.

“…Metronidazole (MNA), which has selective activity against anaerobic microorganisms including bacteria and protozoa [11], has been successfully used for the treatment of anaerobic bacterial infections for more than 45 years [12]. MNA-loaded poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) membrane fabricated by solvent casting showed a significant improvement on the periodontal regeneration following GTR in dogs [13].Our purpose is to develop an anti-infective GTR/GBR membrane with sufficient localized MNA release.…”

“…Many biomaterials have been analyzed to promote periodontal regeneration of tissues lost by periodontal disease, but the majority of studies used acute defects (Robert & Frank 1994, Kurtis et al 2002 or non-standardized size defects (Christgau et al 2003, Garcia et al 2011. Thus, it is believed that the experimental model described in detail here will be useful for assessment in conditions similar to those of naturally occurring periodontal disease, but more objective and standardized.…”

“…These GTR membranes are usually degradable and have been modified with tetracycline, 80 doxycycline, 81 chlorhexidine 82 and metronidazole. 83 Furthermore, Bone grafting materials are utilized for bone regeneration in combination with GTR membranes. There are four classes of bone-grafting materials based upon the mode of action:…”
