Abstract

The prescription of a course of oral antibiotics following bone grafting procedures is a common practice in clinical periodontics to reduce surgical site infections. The goal of this study is to characterize the release profile of antibiotics via local delivery using dendrimer hydrogels (DH) and to analyze the effect of two different particulate bone allografts on the release of the antibiotics in vitro. DH were synthesized from polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimer G5 and polyethylene glycol diacrylate, and cefazolin was chosen as the antibiotic. The antibiotic-loaded samples were bathed in PBS and incubated at 37 °C; aliquots were taken (1 h, 2 h, 3 h, 4 h, 5 h, 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, 48 h, 72 h) and analyzed using HPLC to determine the amounts of released cefazolin. In samples with DH, the estimated maximum concentration of cefazolin was 36.97 ± 2.39 μg/mL (95% CI: 34.58-39.36) with 50% released in 4.17 h (95%: 3.26-5.07) and an estimated growth rate of 0.27 (95% CI: 0.17-0.37). For samples without DH, the estimated maximum concentration of cefazolin was 167.4 ± 7.0 μg/mL (95% CI: 160.4-174.4) with 50% released in 2.36 h (95% CI: 2.05-2.67) and an estimated growth rate of 0.70 (95% CI: 0.54-0.87). We conclude that DH are a promising platform for sustained antibiotic release and that the presence of bone grafts did not significantly affect their release.
