Nanodentistry: The road ahead

Abstract

The field of nanotechnology is expanding fast into many other scientific disciplines. The term “nanodentistry” describes the use of nanotechnology to the study of oral and dental health, as well as its treatment, prevention, and diagnosis. Nanotechnology is a promising new area. Nanotechnology in dentistry enables precise and rapid diagnosis. Because of the improvements in their qualities, dental materials are easier to work with and last longer. The benefits of nanodentistry are outlined in this review. Both present and future potential applications are discussed.
