Injectable and Self-Invigorating Hydrogel Applications in Dentistry and Periodontal Regeneration: A Literature Review

Abstract: Hydrogels are thought of as unique polymers utilized to build new materials, and two key factors that impact their features are their hydrophilicity and the degree of cross-linking of the polymer chains. An injectable hydrogel is based on the hypothesis that certain biomaterials can be injected into the body as a liquid and progressively solidify there. The scientific research community was intrigued and interested by its discovery. The hydrophilic polymers that are used to make hydrogels can typically be spli… Show more

“…Some people have recommended that lasers and electrosurgery could be the alternatives to frenectomies conducted using an ordinary technique and a scalpel. The results of this method are precise, and they are different depending on the technique used; the method can be used to control tissue accurately and achieve quicker healing, but there are also some disadvantages of the process; for instance, it can lead to the formation of long-term incisions that may cause gum diseases and aesthetic issues [ 11 ]. Scar formation should be discussed and treated, particularly when the scar interferes with the closure of the midline gap due to orthodontic work.…”

“…Hydrogel-encapsulated cytokines, exosomes, and nanoparticles can be released in a controlled manner, thereby improving the delivery efficiency. The hydrogels can inhibit the formation of plaque biofilms, alleviate inflammation, regulate the cell growth environment, promote osteogenesis, and ultimately facilitate the regeneration of the periodontal tissue. , …”

“…[ 170 ] This can be achieved with physically crosslinked, shear‐thinning or thermosensitive hydrogels. [ 171 ] To have functional periodontal regeneration, the gel's mechanical properties must remain consistent as bone regeneration can occur only if there is stable spacing for the bone to form.
