Physicochemical, Mechanical and Biological Characterization of a PCL/PLA-Based Biocomposite for Potential Dental Post Applications in Primary Teeth.
Researchers developed and tested a biodegradable composite material made from polymers reinforced with ceramic particles as a potential resorbable post for treating decayed primary teeth. The material showed adequate mechanical properties, degraded under certain conditions, was compatible with dental stem cells, and appeared radiopaque for monitoring purposes.
