Application of nucleic acid medicine innovates replantation of developing teeth

Caption

Excessive inflammation after tooth replantation induces several omplications including root resorption, termination of root formation and pulp necrosis, caused by excessive inflammation. NF-kB decoy ODN-loaded PLGA nanosphere inhibits post-operative inflammation, thus enhances periodontal regeneration, including reduction of root resorption, and continuation of root formation.
