Description
Eman M. Salem and co-authors tested gel fillings for tooth sockets in diabetic rats, reporting in 2026. Diabetes slows healing after tooth extraction because blood vessel growth falters, inflammation lingers, and bone-forming cells underperform. The team mixed gelatin with two kinds of bioactive glass, one based on silicate and one on borosilicate, to make scaffold gels.
Sixty diabetic rats were split into five groups, including untreated and plain gelatin controls, and the gels were placed into sockets left by molar extraction. The borosilicate version showed open, connected pores and even ion spread through the material. Under the microscope, sockets treated with that gel formed new bone with healthy marrow spaces and no sign of inflammation. Measurements matched the healthy control group. The authors conclude that the borosilicate glass gel restored socket healing to nearly normal levels.
