CHARACTERIZATION OF AN ANTIBIOTIC IMPREGNATED DELIVERY SYSTEM AS AN INTRACANAL MEDICAMENT IN ENDODONTIC THERAPY

摘要

Endodontic fibers comprising a biocompatible polymer vehicle permeable to medicaments, or combinations of medicaments, wherein the biocompatible polymer vehicle comprises one or more biocompatible and/or biodegradable polymers are described. Such fibers can be used, for example, in a method for the local delivery and sustained release of medicaments to periodontal or intracanal treatment sites. Endodontic fibers described include periodontal fibers and intracanal fibers.
