Abstract

Marine-derived polymers and bioceramics such as chitosan, chitin, alginate, marine collagen and hydroxyapatite are attracting increasing attention in the field of dentistry due to their biocompatibility, bioactivity and sustainability. These materials offer promising alternatives to conventional biomaterials for restorative and regenerative applications. This systematic review examines the use of marine-derived biomaterials in enhancing the mechanical and biological proper-ties of dental regenerative and restorative materials, based on literature published over the past decade. This systematic review analysed 18 articles (2020–2025) from PubMed, ScienceDirect, ProQuest, and Springer, focusing on in vitro, in vivo, and clinical applications. Marine-derived polymers and biocera-mics have been shown to demonstrate improved mechanical strength, bioactivity, and regenerative capacity in various dental treatment applications. It is concluded that marine polymers and bioceramics show significant potential for the field of dental regenerative and restorative medicine.

Abstract

Seashells are a natural biomaterial that is abundant, environmentally friendly and biocompatible, and therefore have potential as dental bioceramics, although their use remains limited. This review presents the latest scientific evidence regarding the biological and mechanical properties of seashells, as a basis for as-sessing their potential as an alternative bioceramic in dental applications. This systematic review followed the PRISMA guidelines, with a literature search con-ducted in Scopus, PubMed, and ScienceDirect (2015-2025). Inclusion criteria comprised in vitro, in vivo, or comparative studies evaluating the biological, me-chanical, or physical properties of marine shell bioceramics for dental applications. The studies demonstrated high biocompatibility and antimicrobial activity, me-chanical properties equivalent to or better than those of commercial materials, and physical properties that remain competitive. It was concluded that marine shell-based bioceramics show promise as a sustainable alternative dental material with competitive biological and mechanical properties.

Abstract

Conventional composite resins often show limited antibacterial activity and are susceptible to degradation, potentially leading to secondary caries. Chitosan, a natural polysaccharide, exhibits biocompatible, biodegradable, and antibacterial characteristics, offering potential improvement in composite resin perfor-mance. This review evaluates the effect of chitosan incorporation on the mechanical and antibacterial properties of composite restorations. A systematic re-view following PRISMA guidelines was conducted using PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Elsevier databases (2015-2025). Inclusion criteria covered in vitro and in vivo studies analyzing chitosan-modified composite resins. Five eligible studies were reviewed based on chitosan concentration, resin type, and outcomes. Chitosan (0.1-2%) enhanced hardness, fracture resistance, and surface stability while providing notable antibacterial activity against S.mutans. Antibacte-rial effects increased up to 2-5%, though higher concentrations (>5%) could reduce some mechanical strength. It is concluded that marine chitosan appears to be an effective additive for restorative composites, improving antibacterial properties and mechanical stability without compromising adhesion. Further cli-nical trials are needed to validate its long-term benefits and optimal concentration for dental applications.
