Abstract

Chitosan and its variations, have been used in a variety of scientific domains. Becauseof its unique physicochemical, biological, ecological, and physiologicalcharacteristics, such as biocompatibility, biodegradability, stability in the naturalenvironment, non-toxicity, high biological activity, affordability, chelating of metalions, and high sorption properties, chitosan is used in a variety of biomedical andindustrial processes. The structure is more intriguing because of the reactivity of theamino and hydroxyl groups, which has a variety of uses in dentistry, biotechnology,biosensing, cosmetics, water treatment, and agriculture. Drug delivery, tissueengineering, wound healing, regenerative medicine, blood anticoagulation, andengineering of bone, tendon, or blood vessels are a few of these uses. The presentarticle includes fresh research-based information about the role of chitosan in maintainance of gingival and periodontal health
