Bismuth subsalicylate incorporated in polycaprolactone-gelatin membranes by electrospinning to prevent bacterial colonization

Periodontitis is a chronic, multifactorial, inflammatory disease characterized by the progressive destruction of the periodontal tissues. Guided tissue regeneration (GTR), involving the use of barrier membranes, is one of the most successful clinical procedures for periodontal therapy. Nevertheless, rapid degradation of the membranes and membrane-related infections are considered two of the major reasons for GTR clinical failure. Recently,...
