Periodontitis, a chronic inflammatory oral disease resulting from plaque biofilms, affects about 743 million individuals worldwide. However, the efficacy of current treatments is hampered by challenges in delivering antibiotics to recalcitrant biofilms and bacterial resistance, thereby impeding successful treatment infectious diseases. To address issues, an antibacterial photothermal material was designed, comprising spherical structure zinc oxide (ZnO) wrapped with triiron tetraoxide (Fe3O4). The outer layer adsorbed epsilon-polylysine (EPL) electrostatic action, ultimately leading fabrication Fe3O4/ZnO/EPL nanoparticles (FZE NPs). Fe3O4 core endowed efficient properties, facilitating dispersion dense which dramatically promoted adsorption penetration ZnO EPL into effectively kill bacteria vitro enhanced sterilization ability. Additionally, upon dissolution aqueous media, acts as positively charged antimicrobial peptide that adsorbs onto surface negatively membranes, modulating responses. In order ascertain FZE NPs, investigation conducted their effects against periodontitis-associated pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) vitro. Furthermore, antiperiodontitis potential NPs evaluated Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats ligamentous periodontitis. addition, toxicity evaluations indicated had acceptable biosafety profile vivo. summary, nanospheres NPs) represent promising therapeutic strategy for
