Nanotechnology, which operates on the 1 to 100 nanometer scale and has a wide range of applications in medicine and pharmaceuticals, has grown rapidly in recent years. Nanomaterials, with their distinct features, hold great promise for cancer treatment due to their low side effects and faster healing potential. However, traditional techniques for producing nanomaterials have drawbacks such as high costs, energy usage, and environmental hazards. To address these concerns, researchers have turned to green nanotechnology, which aims to reduce potential risks associated with traditional production methods. Green nanoparticles, synthesized using environmentally friendly procedures, provide a sustainable solution with reduced energy consumption and non-toxic byproducts. They can be produced using a variety of natural sources such as bacteria, fungi, algae, and plant components. The green method has shown a variety of therapeutic effects, including antiviral, antioxidant, and anticancer qualities. It promotes efficient oral cancer treatment through precise drug administration, thereby reducing side effects. Furthermore, the green synthesis process causes the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and free radicals, which promotes apoptosis in cancer cells. This chapter discusses an overview of recent developments in green nanomaterials, their synthesis process, and healthcare management.
