Periodontitis, a prevalent chronic inflammatory disease, poses significant challenges for effective treatment due to its complex etiology involving specific bacteria and the inflammatory immune microenvironment. Here, this study presents a novel approach for the targeted treatment of periodontitis utilizing the immunomodulatory and antibacterial properties of Embelin, a plant‐derived compound, within an injectable hydrogel system. The developed Carboxymethyl Chitosan‐Oxidized Dextran (CMCS‐OD) hydrogel formed via dynamic chemical bonds exhibited self‐healing capabilities and pH‐responsive behavior, thereby facilitating the controlled release of Embelin and enhancing its efficacy in a dynamic oral periodontitis microenvironment. This study demonstrates that this hydrogel system effectively prevents bacterial invasion and mitigates excessive immune response activation. Moreover, it precisely modulates macrophage M1/M2 phenotypes and suppresses inflammatory cytokine expression, thereby fostering a conducive environment for bone regeneration and addressing periodontitis‐induced bone loss. These findings highlight the potential of the approach as a promising strategy for the clinical management of periodontitis‐induced bone destruction.

Chronic wounds, such as diabetic ulcers and pressure injuries, remain a major global health burden, affecting over 40 million people worldwide and imposing significant socioeconomic strain. Hydrogel-based wound dressings have gained clinical attention for their ability to maintain moisture, mimic the extracellular matrix, and support tissue regeneration. However, traditional hydrogels often lack the mechanical robustness, antimicrobial efficacy, and dynamic responsiveness needed to treat complex wound environments effectively. To address these limitations, nanohybrid hydrogels, composite systems that integrate functional nanomaterials into hydrogel matrices, have emerged as intelligent platforms for advanced wound care. These systems enable multifunctional therapeutic action, including antibacterial activity, antioxidant regulation, angiogenesis promotion, immune modulation, and stimuli-responsive drug delivery. This review synthesizes recent advances in nanohybrid hydrogel design, beginning with an overview of traditional polymeric systems and their constraints. We categorize functional mechanisms according to biological targets and classify nanohybrid architectures by material type, including metal-based nanoparticles, nanozymes, carbon-based nanomaterials, polymeric nanogels, and metal–organic frameworks. Representative studies are summarized in a comparative table, and challenges related to biosafety, clinical translation, and design optimization are discussed. Nanohybrid hydrogels represent a rapidly evolving frontier in wound care, offering bioresponsive, multifunctional platforms with the potential to transform chronic wound management.
