The use of dental implants in the maxillary anterior region to replace missing teeth is a viable treatment option (Figure 1). There are many benefits of fixed dental implant-supported prosthetics versus traditional crown and bridge or removable tooth-borne prosthetics.1 Maintenance of residual bone, ease of oral hygiene, increased longevity, and noninvolvement of adjacent teeth are a few advant...

CONCLUSION: Our results demonstrate that our novel proprietary scaffold can polarize macrophages to the M2 phenotype and deliver supra­physiologic levels of macrophages to wounds to significantly accelerate wound healing in the absence of adverse effects on scar size and quality. Polarizing macrophages on a scaffold in vivo minimizes time in cell culture and is a desirable method for simultaneo...
