Abstract :
Today, carbon materials are among the most widely used materials in the field of scientific-technological leaps. The biochemical properties of these materials have led to their widespread use in medical and biomechanical fields, and their different and special morphology has led to their suitable replacement for body tissues and solving joint problems and osteochondral problems. However, more systematic approaches to the engineering design of carbon-based cells and scaffolds are needed, and the related challenges still need to be addressed through extensive research. In this research, a comprehensive study of carbon materials and their benefits in medicine is done, focusing on increasing the effect of these materials in the area of osteochondral and joint repair and regeneration. In this regard, a review of all types of carbon allotropes including diamond, graphene compounds, fullerene, carbon nanotubes, amorphous carbon, and carbon dots has been done and the Biocompatibility properties of scaffold carbon base materials have been investigated.
