Advances of graphene nanoparticles in dental implant applications – A review

Abstract

Nanoparticles have shown significant potential in dental implants as they have distinctive properties and potential benefits. They have distinct physicochemical features that differ from their bulk equivalents. These characteristics make nanoparticles highly appealing for application in commercial and medical research. The main objective of nanotechnology research and development is to advance overarching social goals, including enhancing human potential and pushing the limits of environmentally sound growth. Considering this, graphene nanoparticles are rapidly overtaking other nanostructures as the favoured option for contemporary biomedical applications. This paper reviews the significance of nanoparticles in various fields and critically examines the importance of graphene nanoparticles in dental implant applications. It also discusses techniques for graphene synthesization and characterization. Additionally, it featured multiple applications of graphene in dental implants along with the present difficulties and potential outcomes. Numerous potential applications in dentistry research exist for this highly adaptable nanotechnology. Due to its distinctive characteristics and possible advantages, graphene nanoparticles have demonstrated promise in dental implants.
