Resumen

Matrices of polylactic acid (PLA), polyglycolic acid (PGA), and their copolymers (PLGA) have been fabricated into scaffolds for tissue regeneration. The goals of this study are to challenge the minimum pore size requirement for bone regeneration and demonstrate that these scaffolds, with their unique microarchitecture, are capable of conducting bone regeneration in a rat calvarial critical sized defect (CSD). Mercury porosimetry and scanning electron microscopy results showed that scaffolds with different median pore sizes and high porosities are produced. Radiomorphometry on digitally processed contact radiographs revealed that the treatment groups are not significantly different from the negative controls.
