Abstract
Chitosan is a biodegradable and biocompatible natural polysaccharide that has a wide range of applications in the field of dentistry due to its functional versatility and ease of access. Recent studies find that chitosan and its derivatives can be embedded in materials for dental adhesives, barrier membranes, bone replacement, tissue regeneration, and antimicrobial agent to better manage oral diseases. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive overview on the preparation, applications, and major breakthroughs of chitosan biomaterials. Furthermore, incorporation of chitosan additives for the modification and improvement of dental materials has been discussed in depth to promote more advanced chitosan-related research in the future.Entities:
