Recent Advances Of Metal Nanoparticles Applications In Soft And Hard Tissue Regeneration: Dental Overview

Nanoparticles are solid colloidal particles showing unique physical and chemical features. Metallic nanoparticles (MNPs) are broadly used in biomedical therapeutic applications and tissue engineering. They have gained attention due to their massive potential in nanotechnology. In this review, we aimed to highlight the recent updates of MNPs applications in hard and soft tissue regeneration from histological point of view. Researches revealed enhanced osteogenic differentiation potential of MNPs, successful remineralizing effect on dental hard tissues, together with effective periodontal ligament regeneration and accelerated wound healing process.
