The present article focuses on the recent advancement mucoadhesive drug delivery systems based on adhesion to biological surfaces that are covered by mucus. There are lots of advantages of mucoadhesive drug delivery system to make this a novel drug delivery system designed for the local as well as systemic administration of various drugs. The major advantage of this drug delivery system is that it prolongs the dwelling time of the dosage form at the site of appliance. Due to the high blood deliver and relatively high permeability of the buccal mucosa, the buccal cavity is the preeminent choice for both local as well as systemic delivery of the many drugs. In this article we have discussed the various types of mucoadhesive dosage forms along with short facts about the various types of newer generation mucoadhesive polymers. The mucoadhesive polymers can be differentiate into two wide categories, materials which go through matrix formation or Hydrogel development by either a water swell able material or a water soluble material. This assessment provides the brief knowledge regarding the wafers drug delivery systems to give lots of advantage greater than the conventional dosage form.
