مستخلص: Periodontitis is a worldwide bacterial infectious disease, resulting in the resorption of tooth-supporting structures. Biodegradable polymeric microspheres are emerging as an appealing local therapy candidate for periodontal defect regeneration but suffer from tedious procedures and low yields. Herein, we developed a facile yet scalable approach to prepare polylactide composite microspheres with outstanding drug-loading capability. It was realized by blending equimolar polylactide enantiomers at the temperature between the melting point of homocrystallites and stereocomplex (sc) crystallites, enabling the precipitation of sc crystallites in the form of microspheres. Meanwhile, epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and nano-hydroxyapatite were encapsulated in the microspheres in the designated amount. Such an assembly allowed the fast and sustained release of EGCG and Ca2+ions. The resultant hybrid composite microspheres not only exhibited strong antimicrobial activity against typical oral pathogens (Porphyromonas gingivalisand Enterococcus faecalis), but also directly promoted osteogenic differentiation of periodontal ligament stem cells with good cytocompatibility. These dual-functional composite microspheres offer a desired drug delivery platform to address the practical needs for periodontitis treatment.
