Research Progress on Antibacterial Mechanism and Bone Promoting Efficacy of Carbon Quantum Dots
Carbon quantum dots(CQDs)is a novel biofluorescent carbon nanomaterial which could be easily syn-thesized and modified.It has excellent properties such as good biocompatibility,chemical stability,and photoelec-tric 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 mecha-nism,and properties of promoting bone differentiation.Meanwhile,we investigate its potential role as a treatment agent for oral infectious maxillofacial bone defects.
