Abstract

The use of chemical compound materials (PMs) and chemical compound films (PMFs) has hyperbolic in drugs and odontology. This increasing interest is attributed to not solely the wonderful surfaces of PMs and PMFs however conjointly their desired mechanical and biological properties, low cost, and ease in process, permitting them to be tailored for a good vary of applications. Specifically, PMs and PMFs area unit employed in odontology for his or her antimicrobial, drug delivery properties; in preventive, restorative and regenerative therapies; and for corrosion and friction reduction. PMFs like propionic acid copolymers area unit used as a dental adhesive; polylactic acids area unit used for dental pulp and dentin regeneration, and bioactive polymers area unit used as advanced drug delivery systems.
