Application of Chitosan Biomaterials in Dentistry—A Narrative Review

Abstract Chitosan is a versatile natural biomaterial that has been researched for range of bio-dental applications. It possesses various desirable qualities such as biocompatibility, hydrophilicity, biodegradability, and broad antibacterial (covering Gram-negative Gram-positive bacteria well fungi). Moreover, the molecular structure contains reactive functional groups, which provide numerous reaction sites possibilities formation electrochemical interactions at cellular levels. Chitosan's unique features have attracted material scientists from all over world to explore its applications in dentistry. The objective this review highlight creation new chitosan biomaterials how it vital component improvement modification existing dental materials being used.
