• Belgrade, Republic of Serbia 10.3762/bjnano.17.55 Abstract Periodontal disease is one of the most prevalent human pathologies initiated by microbial dysbiosis and the inflammatory reaction that leads to gingival fibroblasts apoptosis, connective tissue damage, and atrophy, resulting in tooth loss. Beyond

This dual antibacterial and regenerative action demonstrates the high potential of sage-assisted PLAL-synthesized AgNPs as a safe, sustainable strategy for periodontal disease treatment. Keywords: cell proliferation; periodontal disease; pulsed laser ablation in liquid (PLAL); Salvia officinalis

• enhanced biological effects. Periodontal disease is considered to be one of the most common diseases in humans with prevalence estimated to be approximately 42% to 62% of the world population, among which 7.8% to 23.6% are severe forms, according to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys

In dentistry, anti-infective nanofiber-based drug-release systems have been investigated for periodontal disease control, endodontic therapy, cariogenic microorganism control, and tissue reconstruction [25]. Due to the controlled drug release, BBR-loaded nanofiber scaffolds
