Nine out of ten cases demonstrated wound dehiscence and scaffold exposure in the oral cavity. Radiographically, on comparison to the control regions, all these nine cases failed to demonstrate appreciable bone density gain. Only one case of radicular cyst in the mandible was recorded to have satisfactory healing.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Although PCL scaffold has the potential for bone regeneration in osseous defects, the scaffold exhibited marked tendency for dehiscence in intraoral defects that significantly affected bone healing. A long-term study designed with a larger sample size and categorization of the defects is required to assess its efficacy in varied defects. Moreover, comparative evaluation of PCL and autogenous or alloplastic bone grafting material could provide assenting results.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/njms.njms_35_20","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,17]],"date-time":"2020-12-17T08:40:48Z","timestamp":1608194448000},"page":"207-212","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["Evaluation of polycaprolactone scaffold for guided bone regeneration in maxillary and mandibular defects: A clinical study"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Charudatta","family":"Naik","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Krishnadevaraya College of Dental Sciences, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"N.","family":"Srinath","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Krishnadevaraya College of Dental Sciences, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mahesh Kumar","family":"Ranganath","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Krishnadevaraya College of Dental Sciences, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"D.
