Nanotechnology in dentistry: A review

Abstract

Our quest to create new technology and the ever-increasing demand for advances in diagnosis and treatment modalities has led to the advent of nanotechnology. Nanotechnology employs structures measured in the billionth of a meter or nanometer. This technology has exceptional capability of groundbreaking results in the field of medicine. When nanotechnology is applied to dentistry, it is known as nanodentistry. This article summarizes the applications of nanotechnology in dentistry.
