    Abstract:
    Regenerative endodontics represents a paradigm shift in dental pulp therapy for necrotic young permanent teeth. However, there are still challenges associated with attaining maximum root canal disinfection while supporting angiogenesis and preserving resident stem cells viability and differentiation capacity. Here, we developed a hydrogel system by incorporating antibiotic-eluting fiber-based microparticles in gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) hydrogel to gather antimicrobial and angiogenic properties while prompting minimum cell toxicity. Minocycline (MINO) or clindamycin (CLIN) was introduced into a polymer solution and electrospun into fibers, which were further cryomilled to attain MINO- or CLIN-eluting fibrous microparticles. To obtain hydrogels with multi-therapeutic effects, MINO- or CLIN-eluting microparticles were suspended in GelMA at distinct concentrations. The engineered hydrogels demonstrated antibiotic-dependent swelling and degradability while inhibiting bacterial growth with minimum toxicity in dental-derived stem cells. Notably, compared to MINO, CLIN hydrogels enhanced the formation of capillary-like networks of endothelial cells in vitro and the presence of widespread vascularization with functioning blood vessels in vivo. Our data shed new light onto the clinical potential of antibiotic-eluting gelatin methacryloyl hydrogel as an injectable scaffold with multi-therapeutic effects to promote antimicrobial disinfection and angiogenesis for regenerative endodontics.
