Research progress of the application of peptide hydrogel in the revascularization of pulp regeneration / 国际生物医学工程杂志

ABSTRACT

In recent years, problems such as the devitalization of dental pulp and the increased brittleness and fragility of teeth after root canal treatment have attracted more and more attention. Therefore, pulp regeneration has become the focus of research in endodontics and periapical disease, in which vascularization is of paramount importance. It is found that peptide hydrogel scaffolds have been widely applied because of their properties of impacting cell behavior, promoting angiogenesis, and being adaptable. In this review paper, the research progress of the application of peptide hydrogel in the vascularization of pulp regeneration and the properties of various peptide hydrogels were summarized to provide a reference for the further application of peptide hydrogel in pulp regeneration.
