Abstract | ||
Background: Clustered Regularly Inter Spaced Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) is programmable protein that can change the genome's content, remove it, and switch it on and off. This cutting-edge technology offers a wide range of uses and has the potential to change the future of oral health. Because of its efficacy and precision, the CRISPR-associated protein 9 (Cas9) genome editing technology could be a promising therapeutic tool in the treatment of oral cancer. It quickly changes the genetic makeup of cell lines, organs, and animals. As a result, gene editing has expanded to include genome-wide screening for both loss and augmentation of function. The CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing method and its uses in dentistry have been summarised in this study. | ||
