Ways that biomaterials can alter periodontal bone regeneration.

Caption

Schematic diagram of periodontal osteoimmunology (interaction between bone and the immune system) and immune-bone coupling regulation based on biomaterials. By regulating physicochemical properties, delivering bioactive substances and integrating stimuli-responsive functions, biomaterials can reshape the periodontal immune microenvironment to promote periodontal and alveolar bone (bone that surrounds the teeth) regeneration.
