The potential of dendrimer in delivery of therapeutics for dentistry

Abstract: Dendrimers are hyperbranched nanoparticle structures along with its surface modifications can to be used in dental biomaterials for biomimetic remineralisation of enamel and dentin. The review highlights the therapeutic applications of dendrimers in the field of dentistry. It addresses the possible mechanisms of enhancement of mechanical properties of adhesives and resins structure. Dendrimers due to its unique construction of possessing inner hydrophobic and outer hydrophilic structure can act as drug carrier… Show more

“…These nanoparticles are used in the fields of periodontology, restorative dentistry, tissue and bone engineering, dental implants, and cancer diagnosis. Moreover, various shapes of gold nanoparticles have been synthesized by different mechanisms [ 77 ]. As abovementioned, gold nanoparticles play a major role in the rapid and early diagnosis of periodontal disease.…”

“…Such prepared material showed great potential to be used as a new therapeutic material for the treatment of dentin hypersensitivity. [110,111] PDA Dentine was successfully repaired using polydopamine (PDA), which promoted intrafibrillar mineralization by decreasing the interfacial energy between collagen matrix and ACP. The re-mineralized dentin exhibited comparable mechanical properties to natural dentin.…”
