Table 2.

Advantages of polymeric hydrogel for dental and osseous regeneration [46].

Application Advantages
Drug delivery
  • -

    Improved medication protection and stability

  • -

    Long-term drug retention and controlled drug release

  • -

    Responsive medication release in responding to environmental cues such as pH

Detoxification
  • -

    Detoxification agent restriction to disease site

  • -

    Extended accumulation and continuous release of degradable materials

Immune modulation
  • Unintended consequences

  • Elimination

  • Therapeutic and medication doses were regulated; and cargo was released in response to internal and environmental cues.

Tissue engineering
  • Excellent physical and mechanical qualities

  • Localized and regulated medication distribution

  • Increased bioavailability
