Preliminary Study Concerning the Adaptation of a Periodontal Dressing Material to the Inclusion of Therapeutic Agents

Abstract

The aim of this study was to analyze how a periodontal dressing material (COE-PAK, C-P) adapts to the addition of therapeutic agents (allantoin and pyridoxine), especially in terms of its mechanical properties, as these improvements would be very beneficial for those patients going through the healing process. The physical and mechanical characteristics of periodontal dressings have been assessed in a limited number of trials, their clinical application being favorable in some cases, as the surgical periodontal treatment result is thought to be significantly influenced by a variety of factors, one of which is the periodontal dressing. Dental materials and technologies are evolving now faster than ever thanks to the digital era we are living through, but even with these developments the dental medical field, not unlike other medical fields, requires patient-oriented services.
