This study developed potential dental pulp capping material by coating mineral trioxide aggregate/hydroxyapatite (MTA/HA) on polycaprolactone (PCL) electrospun membranes. The fabricated membranes were characterized and tested for biocompatibility and cell adhesion, spreading, and migration. The results showed that the PCLMTA membrane exhibited better cell adhesion, spreading, and migration.
This study aimed to develop polycaprolactone (PCL) electrospun membranes coated with mineral trioxide aggregate/hydroxyapatite (MTA/HA) as a potential material for dental pulp capping. Initially, the PCL membrane was prepared by an electrospinning process, which was further surface coated with MTA (labeled as PCLMTA) and HA (labeled as PCLHA). The physico-chemical characterization of the fabricated membranes was carried out using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM)/Energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, and contact angle analysis. The biocompatibility of the human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) on the fabricated membranes was checked by XTT assay, and the hDPSCs adhesion and spreading were assessed by FE-SEM and confocal microscopy. The wound healing ability of hDPSCs in response to different electrospun membrane extracts was examined by scratch assay. The surface morphology analysis of the membranes by FE-SEM demonstrated a uniform nanofibrous texture with an average fiber diameter of 594 +/- 124 nm for PCL, 517 +/- 159 nm for PCLHA, and 490 +/- 162 nm for PCLMTA. The elemental analysis of the PCLHA membrane indicated the presence of calcium and phosphorous elements related to HA, whereas the PCLMTA membrane showed the presence of calcium and silicate, related to MTA. The presence of MTA and HA in the PCL membranes was also confirmed by Raman spectroscopy. The water contact analysis demonstrated the hydrophobic nature of the membranes. The results indicated that PCL, PCLHA, and PCLMTA membranes were biocompatible, while PCLMTA exhibited better cell adhesion, spreading, and migration.
