| Abstract |
The success of a dental implant relies on the presence of an optimal alveolar ridge. The aim of this study was to fabricate HPMC crosslinked chitosan based scaffolds for alveolar bone repair. Our results indicated that HPMC crosslinked CH/BG foams presented better morphological structure (132-90.5 μm) and mechanical responses (0.451 MPa with 100 mg BG) as confirmed by SEM analysis and fatigue testing respectively. Cytotoxicity analysis at day 2, 4 and 8 demonstrated that all composites were non-toxic and supported cellular viability. Calcein AM/propidium iodide staining, Hoechst nuclear staining and cell adhesion assay reiterated that scaffolds supported pre-osteoblast cell growth, adhesion and proliferation. Differentiation potential of pre-osteoblast cells was enhanced as confirmed by alkaline phosphate assay. Furthermore, loss of S. aureus viability as low as 35% was attributed to synergistic effects of components. Overall, our results suggest that HPMC crosslinked scaffolds are potential candidates for alveolar bone repair. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 6. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 12 June 2018.
All research outputs
#6,600,606
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from Carbohydrate Polymers
#1,096
of 5,159 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#108,412
of 347,572 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Carbohydrate Polymers
#10
of 72 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 73rd percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 5,159 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.8. This one has done well, scoring higher than 78% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 347,572 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 68% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 72 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 79% of its contemporaries.
