APPLICATIONS OF ELECTROSPUN NANOFIBERS IN THE TREATMENT OF PERIODONTAL DISEASES
AbstractA periodontal disease is a group of pathological diseases, i.e., a widespread infectious disease that mainly causes tooth loss in 15% of adults worldwide. For the treatment of these periodontal diseases, localization of the drug is necessary i.e.; the drug has to be delivered to the periodontal pocket, which is the main area for the development of bacteria. So, researchers have made many attempts to develop the treatment of periodontal disease, including drug delivery to the infection site and regeneration approaches; they really provide a useful experimental mode for evaluating therapies for future periodontal diseases. This review mainly focuses on the pathogenesis of periodontal diseases, the process of fabrication of nanofibers using electrospinning techniques, and mainly how these electrospun nanofibers are used in the treatment of periodontal diseases. And gives an overview of how antibiotics, antimicrobial agents, and nanocomposite electrospun nanofibers are used in the treatment of periodontal diseases.
