“…Therefore, the use of films or membranes represents a promising approach in periodontal treatment to promote tissue regeneration by avoiding migration of epithelial cells into the periodontal pocket and incorporating antibiotics to inhibit the related bacteria growth [13]. Different barrier membranes with a graded functionalised structure are proposed in literature in order to obtain tuned mechanical and degradation characteristics [14,15]. Bottino et al [16] have proposed multilayered membranes consisting of three layers: an inner layer based on poly(DL-lactide-co--caprolactone) (PLCL) and two outer functionalised layers, based on ternary polymeric blends (gelatin, PLCL and PLA) in contact with the surrounding tissues.…”

“…A study performed earlier using the extrusion electrospinning process generated a porosity value of 87±2% for PCL-beta-TCP meshes containing a gradient of 35%, by weight, beta-TCP across the mesh. Overall, porosity of our mesh fabricated here seems appropriate for cartilage tissue engineering [22] as well as cartilage-bone interface applications [11].…”

“…We and others previously utilized conventional electrospinning to form poly(D,Llactide-co-glycolide) nanofiber meshes with controlled fiber diameters, and evaluated their performance using cells from different sources including tendon fibroblasts [9] and NIH 3T3 fibroblasts [10]. Our group also electrospun PCL and beta tricalcium phosphate (beta-TCP) nanoparticles to generate spatially graded composite meshes for osteochondral (cartilage-bone interface) tissue regeneration applications [11]. Test results confirmed their in vitro cytocompatibility and native-like tissue formation with adipose derived stem cells [12].…”

“…The major ECM components contained in these sub-tissues are collagen type II and glycosaminoglycans; collagen type I, glycosaminoglycans, minerals; and collagen type I and minerals, respectively (Table 1). Another school of thought for the hierarchical organization of the cartilage-bone interface is the belief of graded change in the composition of ECM components [6][7][8][9]. Although the compartmental organization approach for cartilage-bone interface components has been dominant for years [5,10], recent studies characterizing cartilagebone, as well as tendon-bone, interface at microscopic dimensions found that mineral composition is changing gradually across the interface [4,11,12].…”

“…However, recent investigations at micrscopic levels showed that the osteochondral interface exhibits a gradual change in the composition of the matrix components [12], leading to a paradigm shift in the understanding of scaffold design. Therefore, more recent investigations focused on the design and fabrication of graded scaffolds for osteochondral interface applications [6,7,19]. In one of these studies, tricalciumphospate (TCP) mineral was embedded in PCL nanofibers to fabricate scaffolds with gradually changing TCP concentrations [6].…”
