Nanotechnology offers the means to target therapies directly and selectively to cancerous cells and neoplasms, guide surgical resection of tumors, and enhance the therapeutic efficacy of radiation-based treatments..
Nanomaterials used in the dental filling, polishing of the enamel surface to prevent caries, also used as implant materials that are more effective than the conventional materials.
Some of the nanoparticles act as antimicrobial agent thus prevent bacterial growth..
Nanotechnology is part of a predicted future in which dentistry and periodontal practice may become more high-tech and more effective looking to manage individual dental health on a microscopic level by enabling us to battle decay where it begins with bacteria..
Nanotechnology is the manipulation of matter on the molecular and atomic levels
It has the potential to bring enormous changes into the fields of medicine and dentistry
A day may soon come when nanodentistry will succeed in maintaining near-perfect oral health through the aid of nanorobotics, nanomaterials and biotechnology
The growing interest in the dental applications of nanotechnology is leading to the emergence of a new field called nanodentistry
An electronic database search that included PubMed, MedLine, and Cochrane library was conducted
Key words used in the search are nanotechnology dentistry and applications
