ABSTRACT

In order to find alternative biomaterials in medical/dental therapy, different materials have been studied in both animal models and humans. Chitin is the second most abundant polymer, so it is reasonable to consider its advantages in the use of regenerative periodontal therapy. The obtaining of this material and its processing and handling offers solutions to the clinical scenarios faced in the query, the ability to modify factors such as pH, morphology, consistency and concentration of chitosan open options to be used in areas criticism as the oral cavity. Based on the foregoing, it supports the use of chitosan to promote bone regeneration, soft tissue healing, releasing substances such as vehicle control chlorhexidine plate barrier membrane for guided tissue regeneration, including no reports that use the polymer in the food industry as a preservative, antioxidant and enzymatic controller. In this review we analyze the results of the regenerative and healing capabilities of the material in question, without neglecting the effects that directly affect the periodontal tissues, clinical application and expectations are taken into the future of this material.
