Abstract

Aim: The present study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of chitosan scaffold combined with calcium silicate cements in the management of internal resorption with perforation. Materials and methods: Internal resorption cavities were simulated in 20 human permanent maxillary incisors that were then divided into two groups: group I – biodentine and group II – chitosan scaffold combined with biodentine. The samples were evaluated for the mineralization activity at the end of the 7th day and 14th day using scanning electron microscopy–energy dispersive X-ray (SEM–EDX) analysis. The data were recorded, tabulated, and then statistically analyzed. Results: From the SEM–EDX analysis, the mean score of calcium and phosphorus ion uptake by the material was obtained. Statistical analysis by nonparametric Mann–Whitney test showed that there was statistically significant difference in calcium ion uptake at the end of the 7th day (p = 0.016) and at the end of 14th day (p = 0.043) between the group biodentine and group chitosan scaffold combined with biodentine (p < 0.05). Conclusion: In this present study, the use of chitosan scaffolds combined with biodentine showed a statistically significant difference in the mineralization activity when compared with pure biodentine. These scaffolded biomaterials exhibited greater potential for mineralization in vitro which can be efficiently used for the management of teeth with internal resorption with perforation. Further clinical trials are required for the understanding of their behavior in real-world scenarios. Clinical significance: Calcium silicate cements have often exhibited defective hard tissue barrier formation and hence there is a pressing need to search for newer biomaterials that can overcome these shortcomings. Scaffolded biomaterials provide a controlled microcellular environment for bioactivity, and they were found to be efficient in the remineralization of tooth structure. The present study findings indicate that these chitosan scaffolds can be efficiently used in combination with calcium silicate cements for the management of internal resorption with perforation to enhance the treatment outcome.
