Abstract
The article examines the features of the use of innovative materials in the organization of clinical treatment in dentistry. In modern conditions, solving the problem of patient safety is one of the main conditions for the functioning of medicine in general and dentistry in particular. For this reason, the search for innovations in the field of antimicrobial protection and, together with it, the functionality of various materials is one of the main tasks of researchers in the field of dentistry. Nanomaterials, which are made on the basis of graphene, are able to demonstrate excellent antimicrobial properties. These materials have the ability to disrupt the integrity of the bacterial cell membrane and produce reactive oxygen species (ROS).
 These materials are widely used in the manufacture of dentures, they are incorporated in the composition of composite resins and luting cements in the organization of restorative treatment, are used for the manufacture of adhesive materials. Many experts recognize that these materials are the future of dental practice, since they have the ability to provide a high level of functionality and safety.
Highlights
When dental materials are placed in the oral cavity, the latter are exposed to various types of bacteria and fungi, which form a biofilm in the course of their vital activity
The results showed that graphene nanosheets (GNS) does not affect the pH release profile
The paper considered the features of the use of graphene nanomaterials in dental practice
Summary
When dental materials are placed in the oral cavity, the latter are exposed to various types of bacteria and fungi, which form a biofilm in the course of their vital activity. This coating provides microorganisms with survival conditions, causing, at the same time, secondary caries, periodontal infection and other dental diseases. Most antimicrobial dental materials have been developed to overcome the inefficiency of dental treatment, which was caused by microbial infections. There is often a compromise between the antimicrobial and mechanical properties of these agents. The mechanical characteristics of dental materials decrease with the addition of antimicrobial agents [1]
