Chitosan is a non-toxic biocompatible and biodegradable polysaccharide. This is the reason as to why it is being used in increasing amounts in many branches of dentistry including the potentiality for use in antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and healing Wound.. This is even more so in paediatric dentistry, where the relevance of keeping oral health in check while causing less harm is very important in which case chitosan has great promise. This review seeks to address the topical challenges surrounding the contemporary uses of chitosan in paediatric dentistry such as its use in preventative dentistry against dental caries, as an antibacterial agent in rehabilitation materials and in helping to heal any oral tissues’ trauma after surgical interventions. Moreover, the review incorporates the use of chitosan in the treatment of oral infections and its utilization in the process of remineralization of the demineralized hard tissues of the tooth. This being said, more studies should be conducted before any application of these technologies to pediatric mouth patient management so as to provide guidelines for their use, improve these formulations and appreciate their impacts. This thorough review article presents chitosan as an important additional component in the provision of pediatric dentistry services which replaces some of the conventional procedures with more safety and efficiency.
