Hexagonal Boron Nitride synthesis, its applications in dentistry and cytotoxicity: A literature review
Abstract
The advancement of nanomaterials has significantly influenced modern dentistry by enabling the development of materials with enhanced performance and improved clinical outcomes. Dental applications demand materials that exhibit high durability, wear resistance, excellent biocompatibility, and efficient thermal management. In recent years, increasing attention has been directed toward materials capable of effective heat dissipation, particularly in dental thermal interface applications.
Boron nitride has gained considerable interest in the dental field due to its versatile applications. Among its various forms, hexagonal boron nitride (H-BN) has emerged as a promising nanomaterial that fulfills these requirements.
This review aims to comprehensively summarize and critically analyze the current literature regarding the application of hexagonal boron nitride in dentistry. Particular emphasis is placed on its thermal and chemical stability, antibacterial activity, biocompatibility, low density, electrical insulation, and high thermal conductivity, which collectively contribute to its potential in improving the performance and longevity of dental materials.
