Research Title: “Integration of Rice Husk-Derived Carbon Dots into a Nanohydroxyapatite-Nanochitosan Scaffold as an Antioxidant Biomaterial Candidate for Bone Defect Regeneration in Periodontitis.”
This research explores the utilization of rice husks as a source of biomaterial innovation by developing them into carbon dots and integrating them into a nanohydroxyapatite-nanochitosan scaffold as a candidate biomaterial to support bone defect regeneration in periodontitis.
