Abstract: Eco-friendly synthesis techniques have enabled the production of biocompatible nanomaterials through natural sources such as microorganisms, algae, and agricultural byproducts. These biologically derived nanoparticles exhibit excellent antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and regenerative properties, making them highly suitable for dental and oral health interventions. Metallic nanostructures, including silver, gold, and zinc oxide, show significant efficacy against common oral pathogens and can be incorporated into composites, coatings, and therapeutic systems. Their ability to enhance targeted drug delivery and reduce toxicity supports their application in diagnostics, restorations, and soft tissue healing. This sustainable approach offers a safer, more responsible alternative to conventional fabrication methods in dental care.
