Nanotechnology in Dentistry- A Review

Nanotechnology is manipulating matter at nanometre level. Applications of nanotechnology for treatment, diagnosis, monitoring, and control of biological systems has recently been referred to as “nanomedicine” by the National Institutes of Health. It holds promise for advanced diagnostics, targeted drug delivery and biosensors. In the long term, medical nanorobots will allow instant pathogen detection and elimination as well as individual cell surgery in vivo. Dentistry is in no way exempted from this revolutionary technical advance in science.
