Abstract
Guided bone regeneration (GBR) is commonly used to regenerate periodontal tissue. However, the bone inductivity and antibacterial properties of the GBR membranes currently in use are severely limited. This issue can be resolved by loading growth factors and antibiotics. Bioactive substitutes, such as Aunanoparticles (AuNPs) and carbon quantum dots (CDs), were proposed to prevent the denaturation of osteogenic growth factors and the induction of antibacterial drug resistance. Ornidazole was initially used as the raw material to prepare the CDs, followed by the incorporation of an optimal ratio of nanoparticles to produce the electrospun membrane doped with AuNPs and novel traceable antibacterial CDs. The morphology of the membrane was characterized. The adhesion, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation of cells on the membrane were evaluated in vitro. The antimicrobial characteristics of the membrane were also investigated. The electrospun membrane was implanted into a rat skull defect model in vivo to investigate its osteogenic potential. The blending of nanomaterials did not affect the micro morphology of the fiber, resulting in enhanced mechanical properties. Membranes dopedwith AuNPs and CDs exhibited excellent biocompatibility, increased ALP activity, improved calcified nodules, and increased expression of osteogenic-associated proteins, in addition to pronounced antibacterial effects. The membrane also demonstrated excellent osteogenic characteristics in rat models. The synergistic effect of loaded AuNPs electrospun fiber membrane with CDs can promote periodontal bone regeneration and exert antibacterial activity.
