“…However, in most of these experiments, some chemical bactericidal agents are incorporated into the structures but the structural effects have not been investigated solely. [223,226,227] Nanoholes are also quite effective against bacteria attachment and biofilm formation. [74,[228][229] Small nanoholes 10 to 25 nm in size fabricated in aluminum by anodization reduce bacteria attachment albeit being hydrophilic.…”

Emergence of antibiotic-resistance pathogens has caused serious health issues and if the current trend is to continue, treatment of the infection will become complicated and even unsuccessful due to new antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Therefore, there is a global drive to identify new methods to treat infection and develop better antibacterial materials and therapy. Although new and more potent antibiotics have aided the fight against microbes, they only offer a temporary solution because future bacteria strains may become resistant to these antibiotics and drugs. Recently, application of non-biological methods such as, electrical currents and photothermal/dynamic therapies to kill bacteria, reveal new approaches to design antimicrobial biomaterials, as complications stemming from drug-resistant bacteria can be obviated. Furthermore, recent research has focused on mimicking the surface patterns on plants and insects such as lotus leaves and dragonfly wings. Bio-inspired micro/nano patterns have been replicated on a variety of biomaterials to improve the bacterial resistance and other properties with good success. This is an exciting research area with immense practical and clinical potentials. In this review, recent advances in the application of chemical/biological approaches to combat bacterial infection and AMR are summarized and the related mechanisms are discussed.

“…This process leads to a deleterious cycle of re-restoration that, with increasing size, ultimately shortens the tooth’s life expectancy. In response to these disadvantageous occurrences, there is growing research interest in synthesizing dental materials with similar physicochemical and mechanical properties as native enamel and which also exhibit superior antibacterial activities [ 19 , 20 ].…”

“…The application of dental handpieces to remove decayed dentin and replace it with restorative materials is the most common repair strategy. 8 However, the mechanical treatment process brings fear and pain to the patient and the complete removal of carious dentin close to the dental pulp presents a serious challenge. 9 What's more, the use of antibiotics poses a certain risk as it disturbs the balance of normal oral flora and leads to bacterial antibiotic resistance.…”

“…21,22 Additionally, Ce6 can be easily loaded into ZIF-8 through electrostatic adsorption by Zn 2+ . 8 As one of the most representative nanocarriers in the biomedical field, ZIF-8 not only degrades and releases photosensitizers in acidic environments, but also carries oxygen to solve problems such as biofilm hypoxia and oxygen depletion. 23 However, the oxygencarrying capacity is lower than that of copper-doped MOFs.…”
