Polysaccharide-based hydrogels for alveolar socket healing: biological functions and material design strategies
Abstract
gelling formulations, bilayer and Janus constructs, microsphere hydrogel composites and microneedle platforms, are examined from a structure property function perspective, emphasizing how network design improves mechanical robustness, degradation kinetics and spatiotemporal release profiles under intraoral loading. Finally, we outline opportunities for stimuli responsive and patient tailored polysaccharide hydrogels that dynamically respond to pH, oxidative stress or inflammatory cues, aiming at predictable and clinically practical regeneration of both soft and hard tissues after tooth extraction.
