Abstract: Nanomaterials have been widely used in the field of oral disease prevention and treatment, especially in controlling the development of caries and alleviating dentin allergy, due to their superior antibacterial properties and biocompatibility. Meanwhile, nanomaterials provide solutions for tissue regeneration, especially for oral tissue regeneration, due to their small particle size, high antibacterial activity and biocompatibility. At present, the research on nanomaterials in the field of dentistry focuses on the biological effects of various nanomaterials on different oral cells and clinical application studies. In this paper, we will review the biological effects of nanoparticles on oral cells, potential mechanisms and influencing factors, aiming to provide references for the development of new materials in the field of oral medicine and the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of oral diseases.
