Abstract
Graphene is a single layer-sheet of one-atom thickness allotrope of carbon arranged in a honeycomb-like framework. Graphene has a 2D-like nature and superior properties such as being stronger than steel and thinner than paper making it useful for dentistry and implant dentistry. Due to their nanoscale size large specific surface area impermeability transparency antibacterial activity and resistance to most gases and liquids graphene family materials have great potential for bone tissue engineering drug delivery and biological sensing and imaging applications. This review discusses recent advancements and accomplishments in the graphene family highlighting its properties including strength biocompatibility anti-microbial properties flexibility transparency and its use in various biomedical applications. Specifically we explore the potential of graphene in bone tissue regeneration and its application in dentistry such as G-CAM discs that are designed for permanent dental structures with natural aesthetic appearance and improved mechanical physicochemical and biological properties. The potential of graphene and its derivatives in the field of medical and dental technology makes it a promising candidate for future development.
