COWHIDE GELATIN NANOPARTICLES AND TITANIUM-PREPARED PLATELET-RICH FIBRIN POTENTIAL IN PERIODONTITIS HEALING PROCESS

Abstract

Based on epidemiological data, the periodontitis prevalence in Indonesia reached 96.58%. Periodontitis is a periodontal disease caused by specific microorganisms causing attachment loss, alveolar bone resorption, and periodontal pocket. The pocket which is more than 6 mm couldn’t be carried out using standard care. Therefore bone grafting is needed to fix the bone defect. Cowhide Gelatin nanoparticle (GNPs) combined with Titanium- Prepared Platelet-Rich Fibrin (T-PRF) is an innovative healing of periodontitis. Objective: To review the potential of cowhide gelatin nanoparticles combined with titanium-prepared platelet-rich fibrin (T-PRF) as an innovation in the healing of periodontitis defects.
