Indonesia as a maritime country has the potential to generate a lot of fisheries, one of which is shrimp (Nephropidae). Bali is a world tourist destination is culinary destination seafood in addition to the natural beauty and culture. Shrimp shells potentially useful as a raw material of various kinds of processing, among others in the process of making the chitosan. Chitosan has very favorable properties, which is biocompatible, biodegradable, non-toxic, and inexpensive. In this study we want to know if the shells obtained from marine waste Bali is used as chitosan micro particles was changed into Nano particles to be used in dentistry, especially in bone tissue engineering. The method used to determine the characteristics, functional groups and particle size changes include the manufacture of simple chitosan, change the size of micro-particles into Nano size with ball milling process. With Fourier Transform characterization testing performed Infra Red (FTIR), XRD and SEM, FTIR testing functional group of OH functional groups. C-C, NH, CH, 1656. 74 nm, 895. 87nm, 3432. 09 nm and 2154. 34 nm. FTIR analysis results on shrimp shell chitosan showed acetylated degree of 98% was observed from XRD The results clearly show that treatment of shells shows the nature of the crystal, with demineralization shows three distinct peaks sharply at 19 °, 32 °, 45. 5 °. Characterization of FT-IR showed that chitosan quality standard of 98%, it is in line with the standard quality ≥ 70% In making chitosan before ball milling, SEM shows granular particles of 288. 5 nm, while in the process of ball milling showed 93. 3 nm nanoparticles by 31%, Nano chitosan shrimp shells have good prospects for use in various aspects of Dentistry. Production of Nano chitosan nanoparticles can be developed in formulations as needed. © Research India Publications.
