Abstract

Taking care of wounds costs a lot of money. A significant medical problem is the treatment of burns, surgical and trauma wounds and skin wounds, with current therapies primarily emphasizing supportive care techniques. Coagulation, inflammation, angiogenesis, new tissue creation and extracellular matrix modification are necessary processes for successful wound healing. Metal oxides (Titanium, Silver, Zinc, Copper, Magnesium, Nickel) with potent antibacterial and healing characteristics can be employed as nanomaterials in dressings. Metal oxide nanoparticles (MeO-NPs) have a wide range of physicochemical properties that allow them to function as antimicrobial agents through a variety of mechanisms. The treatment of lethal infectious diseases will be impacted by the enormous variety of features demonstrated by MeO-NPs. This study covers the antibacterial mechanisms of common MeO-NPs, factors affecting their antibacterial activity and their role in accelerating wound healing.
