Abstract

Abstract: Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) is a novel biofluorescent carbon nanomaterial which could be easily synthesized and modified. It has excellent properties such as good biocompatibility, chemical stability, and photoelectric properties. Moreover, CQDs shows great potential in the field of antibacterial and bone regeneration. In this study, we reviewed the common characteristics of CQDs, especially its antibacterial effects, antibacterial mechanism, and properties of promoting bone differentiation. Meanwhile, we investigate its potential role as a treatment agent for oral infectious maxillofacial bone defects.

Key words: carbon quantum dots, antibacterial, bone regeneration, oral bacteriostatic, nano-composite
