Graphene oxide a promising material in dentistry and tissue regeneration: Study
A study published in the Smart Materials in Medicine suggests that graphene oxide is beneficial in dentistry and related tissue regeneration.
Dentistry is a field with multiple problems to be solved by optimizing materials. In modern dentistry, both the early prevention of caries and the development of new and efficient restorative materials are sought. Although tremendous efforts have been made to promote oral hygiene and fluoridation, the prevention of early-stage tooth decay lesions is still a challenge for dental research and public health. As a result, treating tooth defects resulting from caries has become one of the most common treatments in dentistry. The mechanical properties of materials applied in treating tooth defects, such as resin-based composites, are related to their clinical application and the longevity of the restoration
Current treatments for common dental diseases such as caries, periodontal diseases, tooth defects, missing teeth and bone defects cannot replenish dental tissue with artificial alternatives while maintaining the biological and mechanical properties of natural tissue. In recent years, in addition to existing conventional treatments, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine have also been applied in this field to recover real tissue. Graphene oxide (GO) is considered to be a promising material in dentistry and related tissue regeneration due to its outstanding properties.
