“…Periodontal bone loss usually occurs due to several factors, including tooth extraction, trauma, infection, systemic or local alterations in the host response, malignancy, or multifactorial causes [ 129 ]. Bone substitutes are widely used to replace bone loss including bone grafts (autograft, allograft, and xenograft), ceramics (hydroxyapatite, tricalcium phosphate, and calcium sulfate), and growth factors (demineralized bone matrix, platelet-rich plasma, and bone morphogenic proteins) [ 130 ].…”

In Vitro Studies of Graphene for Management of Dental Caries and Periodontal Disease: A Concise Review

et al. 2022

Graphene is a single-layer two-dimensional carbon-based nanomaterial. It presents as a thin and strong material that has attracted many researchers’ attention. This study provides a concise review of the potential application of graphene materials in caries and periodontal disease management. Pristine or functionalized graphene and its derivatives exhibit favorable physicochemical, mechanical, and morphological properties applicable to biomedical applications. They can be activated and functionalized with metal and metal nanoparticles, polymers, and other small molecules to exhibit multi-differentiation activities, antimicrobial activities, and biocompatibility. They were investigated in preventive dentistry and regenerative dentistry. Graphene materials such as graphene oxide inhibit cariogenic microbes such as Streptococcus mutans. They also inhibit periodontal pathogens that are responsible for periodontitis and root canal infection. Graphene-fluorine promotes enamel and dentin mineralization. These materials were also broadly studied in regenerative dental research, such as dental hard and soft tissue regeneration, as well as periodontal tissue and bone regeneration. Graphene oxide-based materials, such as graphene oxide-fibroin, were reported as promising in tissue engineering for their biocompatibility, bioactivity, and ability to enhance cell proliferation properties in periodontal ligament stem cells. Laboratory research showed that graphene can be used exclusively or by incorporating it into existing dental materials. The success of laboratory studies can translate the application of graphene into clinical use.
