Abstract

Dental diseases pose significant public health challenges globally, affecting millions with conditions exacerbated by microbial-induced inflammation. Traditional natural enzymes, despite their antibacterial and anti-inflammatory capabilities, are limited by operational stability and environmental sensitivity. This review explores the revolutionary realm of nanozyme-artificial enzymes made from nanomaterials-which offer enhanced stability, cost-effectiveness, and ease of modification. We discuss the advent of nanozymes since their first recognition in 2007, emphasizing their enzyme-mimicking capabilities and applications in dental medicine, particularly for dental caries, pulpitis, periodontitis and peri-implantitis. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of nanozymes' classification, mechanisms, and emerging applications, shedding light on their potential to revolutionize dental antibacterial treatments and addressing current challenges and future perspectives in their development.<br />Competing Interests: The authors declare no competing interests.<br /> (This journal is © The Royal Society of Chemistry.)
