Background/Objectives: Bone regeneration using nanomaterial-based approaches shows promise for treating critical bone defects. However, developing sustainable and cost-effective therapeutic materials remains challenging. This study investigates the osteogenic potential of clove-derived carbon dots (C-CDs) for bone regeneration applications. Methods: C-CDs were synthesized using a green hydrothermal method. The osteogenic potential was evaluated in human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hBM-MSCs) and validated using ectopic bone formation and calvarial defect models. Results: C-CDs demonstrated uniform morphology (~10 nm) with efficient cellular uptake. In vitro studies showed successful osteogenic differentiation through the upregulation of RUNX2, ALP, COL1A1, and BMP-2 mediated by Wnt/β-catenin/GSK3β and BMP signaling pathways. In vivo models have also demonstrated that C-CDs are effective in promoting bone regeneration. Conclusions: These findings establish C-CDs as promising candidates for bone regeneration therapy, offering a sustainable alternative to current treatments. While optimization is needed, their demonstrated osteogenic properties warrant further development for regenerative medicine applications.
