Application of carbon dots to the diagnosis and treatment of oral and maxillofacial malignant tumors
Owing to advancements in nanomaterials and diagnostic and therapeutic modalities,nanomedicine has at-tracted considerable interest.Carbon dots are zero-dimensional nanomaterials with fluorescent properties and applicable to the diagnosis and treatment of oral cancer.They potentially enhance detection sensitivity,reduce adverse drug reac-tions,and improve therapeutic efficacy,thereby providing a new avenue for the management of oral cancer.This paper re-views progress in research on carbon-dot-based strategies for oral cancer diagnosis and treatment and their applications in chemotherapy,photodynamic therapy,photothermal therapy,and immunotherapy.It also explores the feasibility of using carbon dots in oral cancer management and potential development in the biomedical field.
