Chitosan Biomaterials for Current and Potential Dental Applications
Chitosan (CHS) is a very versatile natural biomaterial that has been explored for a range of bio-dental applications. CHS has numerous favourable properties such as biocompatibility, hydrophilicity, biodegradability, and a broad antibacterial spectrum (covering gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria as well as fungi). In addition, the molecular structure boasts reactive functional groups that...
متن کاملPolymeric systems of antimicrobial peptides--strategies and potential applications.
The past decade has seen growing interest in the investigation of peptides with antimicrobial activity (AMPs). One approach utilized in infection control is incorporation of antimicrobial agents conjugated with the polymers. This review presents the recent developments on polymeric AMP carriers and their potential applications in the biomedical and pharmaceutical fields.

متن کاملCurrent Opinion on Chitosan and its Derivatives: Biological Impact in Antimicrobial Applications
If we take a look on Scopus website from the last 5 years, we could see that chitosan and its chemical/enzymatic derivatives are ranked in one of the first bio-polysaccharide described for pharmaceutical applications. As for example, in 2012 using “chitosan” and a combination of “chitosan and pharmaceutical” we found, respectively, 4027 and 1588 publications whereas for 2016 we found respective...
متن کاملChitosan and its antimicrobial potential – a critical literature survey
Chitosan, an aminopolysaccharide biopolymer, has a unique chemical structure as a linear polycation with a high charge density, reactive hydroxyl and amino groups as well as extensive hydrogen bonding. It displays excellent biocompatibility, physical stability and processability. The term 'chitosan' describes a heterogeneous group of polymers combining a group of physicochemical and biological ...
