IMPLEMENTATION OF NANOTECHNOLOGY IN DENTISTRY: REVIEW

  • Gloria Christal

Abstract

One of the latest developments in the field of science is nanotechnology. A highly multidisciplinary field of research, nanotechnology is focused on fields like applied physics, material science, interface and colloidal science, device physics, supramolecular chemistry, chemical engineering, and electrical engineering. It is the analysis of atomic and molecular scale manipulations of matter. At the molecular and atomic stages, nanotechnology is the processing of matter. It has the ability to bring major improvements to the fields of dentistry and medicine. Nanotechnology is thought to represent a broad variety of medical and dental applications. Nanotechnology is being used as nano dentistry in the dental industry. The chemical, physical and biological dimensions of nanostructures are taken into consideration when selecting a nanoparticle for use in the field of nano dentistry. The future holds in store an age of dentistry in which any treatment will be carried out using nanotechnology-based equipment and devices. The current position and the future medical studies of nanotechnology in dentistry are reviewed in this report.
