Title: 

Stomatological polymer membranes. 

Protection status: 

Know-how in the process of patent application. 

Subject: 

A novel drug formulation has been designed for use in the treatment of periodontal disease – polymeric membranes that release metronidazole and/or other antimicrobial substances directly into the dental pocket. 

Benefits: 

The designed drug formulation applied in the dental pocket is expected to release active substances in a prolonged manner. The membranes have mucoadhesive properties and their surface is hydrophilic in nature, which is a definite advantage for future use in stomatology. 

Stage of work: 

The completed technology – morphological studies, pharmaceutical availability, mucoadhesion and surface analysis by measuring wetting angles were carried out. 

Application: 

Class III medical device for use in stomatology and periodontology.
