ABSTRACT
Gold nanoparticles (AuNps) have emerged as promising agents in endodontic tissue engineering, offering a range of properties and functionalities that can revolutionize dental treatments. From their unique antimicrobial activity to their ability to enhance mechanical properties and facilitate targeted drug delivery, AuNps hold great potential for improving the efficacy and outcomes of endodontic procedures. This review article highlights the properties and characteristics of AuNps and their interaction as well as regenerative impact on pulp, dentin and periapical bone.
Key words: Gold nanoparticles, Endodontic tissue engineering, Dental pulp regeneration, Dentin formation, Periapical bone regeneration
