Description
Gertrud Alexandra Paltinean leads a large team in this 2025 review of graphitic carbon nitride and what it might do for oral health. The material, built from carbon and nitrogen sheets, reacts to light, kills microbes, and tolerates living tissue well. It has been studied for electronics and clean energy, but barely at all inside the mouth.
The review covers the material's two main structural forms, the leading ways to synthesize it, and the microscopy used to inspect its surface. It then surveys biological evidence: light-driven antimicrobial action and compatibility with cells, the traits a dental material needs. The authors are frank that dental research here is thin, with few systematic studies. That gap is the point: they map where this versatile material could serve dentistry, from antibacterial coatings to regenerative scaffolds, and call for the missing trials.
