The biocompatibility, biodegradability, and prospective therapeutic applications of chitosan (CS), a biopolymer derived from chitin, have sparked attention in the field of dental implantology. This review examines various CS-based polymers and their use in dental implants, focusing on how they enhance osseointegration, reduce infection risk, and raise overall implant success rates. The study also covers the latest developments, difficulties, and potential paths for CS integration in dental implant materials.
