Philosophiae Doctor - PhD / Search for an ideal scaffold for guided tissue/bone (GTR/GBR) regeneration continues as
till now none of the commercially available GTR/GBR membrane fulfils the desired
criteria. Currently, a variety of new materials and techniques have been investigated all
over the world to improve the properties of GTR/GBR membranes. In the recent past
three dimensional bioactive scaffolds composed of natural polymers have gained
enormous popularity as potential future GTR/GBR devices. Electrospinning has emerged
as one of the relatively simple, cost effective and efficient technique to fabricate three
dimensional nanofibrous scaffolds in the field of tissue engineering. The rationale of this
project is to investigate the natural polymers based bioactive nanofibrous scaffolds for
GTR/GBR applications in the field of Periodontology.
