Abstrakt: To mimic the alveolar bone and periodontal ligament interface, a chitosan(CS for short) composite polysaccharide scaffold was fabricated which was cross-linked with sodium alginate(SA for short). The conditions of physical crosslinking in the scaffolds were discussed. By characterization after biomineralization, it turns out that pH=5.0 and 40min crosslinking time can make for crosslinking. Better crosslinking makes the material more antiswelling and give more compressive strength. In the other hand, the biomineralization can improve the physical properties of the material. We hope that after further research it can come to a scaffold material with good properties.
