What do you think about Polycaprolactone as a biomaterial ? is possible made the glue for the dental prothetics on his basis ? Polycaprolactone is biologicaly neutral and resorbable so maybe it's a good idea ? I'll be very appreciated for any opinion and maybe we could make some scientific project :) ? Best ! Oskar

Dear Oskar,
Polycaprolactone is a great polymer to be utilized as biomaterial in dentistry, however, its biodegradation rate is relatively high (2-3 years) which implies its use in a mixture with other polymerssuch as PLLA, PDLLA, PLGA104, and polyethers to expedite overall polymer erosion.
I think the proposal for the use of polycaprolactone in dentistry will be worth it and has a potential.
You may contact some faculty members in Al-Quds University, Dentistry College who may be interested to collaborate in such interesting project.
Hoping this will be helpful,
Rafik
