Suitability of Chitosan Scaffolds with Carbon Nanotubes for Bone Defects Treated with Photobiomodulation

Abstract: Biomaterials have been investigated as an alternative for the treatment of bone defects, such as chitosan/carbon nanotubes scaffolds, which allow cell proliferation. However, bone regeneration can be accelerated by electrotherapeutic resources that act on bone metabolism, such as low-level laser therapy (LLLT). Thus, this study evaluated the regeneration of bone lesions grafted with chitosan/carbon nanotubes scaffolds and associated with LLLT. For this, a defect (3 mm) was created in the femur of thirty rats, … Show more

“…Inappropriate wound treatment can cause serious complications and loss of function. CS and its derivatives demonstrate excellent properties, such as biocompatibility, osteoconduction, and a porous structure, and it promotes cell growth, hemostasis, broad-spectrum antibacterial activity, and tissue adhesion, which can be used as a wound healing accelerant [ 133 , 134 , 135 ] and are widely prepared into different forms of anticoagulant materials such as sponges, hydrogels, particles, bandages, and dressings [ 136 , 137 , 138 ]. When acting on the wound, these CS sponges, dressings, or particles can combine with tissue fluid exuded from injured skin to form a CS hydrogel, thereby promoting healing.…”

“…Chitosan biomaterials containing graphene oxides were used as substrates for the generation of hydroxyapatite, which has a high elastic flexibility and tensile strength for bone tissue engineering applications [ 49 ]. Carbon nanotubes were also used as fillers in chitosan to increase flexibility, porosity, and mechanical strength of chitosan biomaterials for applications in bone tissue engineering [ 50 ]. The porous structure of the chitosan with an absorbable collagen sponge encourages osteoblast stem cells to attach to the surface to proliferate and differentiate promoting bone development.…”

“…are intensely developed worldwide as a means to address the sustainability criteria related to adaptability and resilience. They exhibit improved mechanical properties and elasticity [ 18 , 19 ], controlled porosity [ 20 ], and chemical stability [ 21 ], which render them more suitable to be used for long wear times in harsh environmental conditions.…”

“…The available literature on polysaccharide-based composite hydrogels intended for removing pollutants from wastewater is overwhelmingly focused on the synthesis of new matrices and their testing in batch experiments to optimize the sorption conditions (pH, sorbent dose, contact time, equilibrium concentration, temperature) in simulated monocomponent aqueous media [ 19 , 21 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 ]. Recently, attention has been directed towards testing the polysaccharide hydrogel-type sorbents in complex matrices of pollutants (competitive investigations) and in column sorption experiments [ 28 , 29 ].…”
