Investigation of the effect of surfactant on the release properties of chlorhexidine from a methacrylated poly-gamma-glutamic acid based hydrogel

Abstract

A comparison of the release properties of chlorhexidine (CHX) from a prepared (methacrylated poly-gamma-glutamic acid) hydrogel, with and without surfactant against Curasept periodontal gel. Surfactant increased the total amount of CHX released and this was greater than Curasept periodontal gel.
