摘要
Micro/nanodevices have been widely applied for the real-time monitoring of intracellular activities and the delivery of exogenous substances in the past few years.This review focuses on miniaturized micro/nanodevices for assessment and treatment in stomatology and ophthalmology.We first summarize the recent progress in this field by examining the available materials and fabrication techniques,device design principles,mechanisms,and biosafety aspects of micro/nanodevices.Following a discussion of biochemical sensing technology from the cellular level to the tissue level for disease assessment,we then summarize the use of microneedles and other micro/nanodevices in the treatment of oral and ocular diseases and conditions,including oral cancer,eye wrinkles,keratitis,and infections.Along with the identified key challenges,this review concludes with future directions as a small fraction of vast opportunities,calling for joint efforts between clinicians and engineers with diverse backgrounds to help facilitate the rapid development of this burgeoning field in stomatology and ophthalmology.
