Development of a novel dental resin cement incorporating FGF-2-loaded polymer particles with the ability to promote tissue regeneration

Dental adhesives are widely used for dental restoration. Recently, they have been used for many other applications, such as root-end filling [1 –3], perforation sealing [4], and repair of fractured roots [5–8], owing to the improvement of their physical and sealing properties. However, conventional adhesive resins have no ability to promote tissue regeneration, and a favorable prognosis cannot be expected in cases with severely damaged periodontal tissue. To increase the success rate of treatments using adhesive resins in periodontal tissue, it would be beneficial to provide the ability to promote tissue regeneration.
