23 Jul BIODEGRADABLE CONTROL OF BACTERIAL CELLULOSE BY RADIATION TECHNOLOGY AND ABSORBABLE PERIODONTAL MATERIAL USING SAME
Abstract
An absorbable periodontal tissue and bone regeneration material uses bacterial cellulose that has been exposed to radiation. The bacterial cellulose was confirmed to block the invasion of soft tissue in a calvarial defect in rat and rabbit models and to display excellent absorptiveness enough to contribute bone formation. Therefore, the bacterial cellulose can be developed as an absorbable periodontal tissue and bone regeneration material useful in the field of medical engineering by regulating biodegradability without using chemicals that are toxic to human and environment.
