Chitosan is a non -toxic biodegradable natural polymer. Chitosan & its derivatives have been used for potential tissue engineering biomaterials. Chitosan proves to be a complete package of properties necessary for repair and regeneration with an advantage that it can be moulded according to therapeutic remedy. Chitosan derivatives (marine sources) have a large impact and show potential in biomedicine for the development of drugs in future. Chitosan uses in periodontics such as PDL regeneration, bone repair, wound healing, haemostasis, & local drug delivery in form of films & gel enhances its prospective application. This presents the latest results and challenges in the preparation of chitosan and chitosan-based scaffold/hydrogel for wound healing applications. A detailed overview of their behaviour in terms of controlled drug delivery, divided by drug categories, and efficacy was provided and critically discussed. Increased usage of chitosan in periodontics will be more beneficial in periodontal treatments.
