Abstract
was above 90%, which could effectively inhibit the spread of the bacteria and inflammation in the alveolar ridge. Additionally, the hybrid hydrogels demonstrated good biocompatibility with the NIH 3T3 fibroblast cells. Overall, the CS/PEG/PHMB hydrogel is a promising biological scaffold for maintaining the alveolar ridge and subsequently improving the success rate of the dental implant.
