Abstract:

This review summarizes the most recent articles issued in the literature of the field on the applications of iron-oxide nanoparticles in dentistry. It provides a general overview of the properties and synthesis of nanoparticles and summarizes the clinical applications and current research directions of iron-oxide nanoparticles, stressing their potential in dental care and in improving patient outcomes. The integration of nanoparticles in dentistry has emerged as a potential breakthrough in addressing various dental conditions. Magnetic nanoparticles with magnetic cores encapsulated in a biocompatible coating enable precise manipulation by external magnetic fields, and play an important role in targeted drug delivery, diagnostic tests and magnetic resonance imaging. Their use in orthodontic treatments and dental implants facilitates tooth movement and tissue engineering, thus improving clinical outcomes and patient comfort. The dental applications of iron-oxide nanoparticles is an area that requires continued study due to the various types of nanoparticles in use, each with different potential to treat multiple dental conditions.
