Abstract

Due to the increased demand for advances in diagnosis and treatment modalities, nanodentistry is being considered as a groundbreaking and viable research subject. This technology, which deals with matter in nanodimensions, has widened our views of poorly understood health issues and provided novel means of diagnosis and treatment. The advents of nanotechnology involve the application of nanorobots in various aspects of dentistry like, local anaesthesia, dentition re-naturalisation and permanent hypersensitivity cure, complete orthodontic realignments during single office visit and continuous oral health maintenance using mechanical dentifrobots. Many novel nanotechnology products are on the way and new treatment modalities are also proposed. Nanotechnology has increased the hope for better oral health care delivery and improved maintenance through the ongoing research in diagnosis, cure and prevention of oral diseases. This review article provides an insight about the importance and possible applications of nanotechnology in the field of dentistry.
