Iranian researchers develop nano-sponge as low-cost alternative to bone powder in dental surgery
Iranian researchers have developed a multifunctional nano-gelatin sponge that can control bleeding, prevent infection, and promote bone regeneration in dental and reconstructive surgeries.
Designed as a flexible and biodegradable material, the sponge incorporates antibacterial and bone-forming nanoparticles, enabling it to perform several therapeutic functions simultaneously.
Once placed at the surgical site, it absorbs blood and helps form clots, effectively controlling bleeding.
Its antimicrobial properties reduce the risk of post-operative infections, while its bone-regenerating features support the growth and repair of damaged bone tissue.
The product is fully biodegradable and is gradually absorbed by the body after completing its function, eliminating the need for removal surgery.
It can be adapted to dental cavities of different shapes and sizes and offers a cost-effective alternative to conventional bone powders used in bone reconstruction procedures.
According to its developers, the nano-gelatin sponge could improve the success rate of dental and reconstructive surgeries while reducing treatment costs and enhancing patient recovery.
