“…Moreover, we estimated that our materials contained 85 µg MET per cm 2 and released this at a rate of 8 µg per 24 hour period in an aqueous environment. The MIC for MET of this strain has been estimated to be around 60-125 ng/mL while a level of only of 1 µg/ml MET in the sulcus fluid has been reported to be necessary for effective elimination of the most relevant obligate anaerobic periodontal pathogenic bacterial strains [45,46]. In addition, we observed no resistant colonies in this assay, indicating that the level of release of MET in our in vitro antibacterial assay from the nano-layered structure coupled with its lack of toxicity to human cells might represent a potentially effective therapeutic efficient dose.…”

“…The outer layer, in contact with bone, was loaded with nanohydroxyapatite to enhance bone regeneration; while the other layer, in contact with epithelial tissue, was functionalised with metronidazole, incorporated in the layer bulk. Interestingly, the direct incorporation of antibiotics to these membranes has given promising results in terms of inhibition of bacteria growth [7,17,18]. However, although the antibacterial effects of these drugs are well known, recent findings have warned of the potentially toxic effects of these highly concentrated antibiotic drugs on dental pulp stem cells and dental pulp fibroblasts [19,20].…”

“…The proliferation of these bacteria should be controlled on the site of GBR membrane restoration to ensure successful tissue migration, growth and proliferation 7) . Several antibiotics such as tetracycline hydrochloride and metronidazole benzoate have been used extensively to overcome this problem 5,8) . However, in a view to prevent antibiotic resistance, alternative antibacterial agents are of interest to be incorporated into the GBR membrane 9,10) .…”

“…Used in conjunction with sound surgical technique, GBR has become a reliable and validated procedure for local periodontitis defect treatment and increasing the width and height of the alveolar ridge before implant installation and in the treatment of periimplant bone defects. In order to improve the effects of this procedure, drugs and bioactive factors have been administered along with the GBR membrane 4,5) . Naringin is a double-hydrogen flavonoid compound extracted from Rhizomadrynariae.…”

“…The materials selected for drug loading include poly lactic acid (PLA), poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA), poly(D, L-lactic acid) (PDLLA), polycaprolactone (PCL), and other biocompatible and biodegradable polymers 6,16,19,20) . Among different classes of biodegradable polymers, the thermoplastic aliphatic poly(esters), such as PLA, PLGA and so on, have generated much interest due to their favorable properties 5,[19][20][21][22][23] .…”
