Nanotechnology: A Changing Face in Modern Era.

The tremendous growth in scientific and innovative research has provoked scientists to concentrate on the field of regenerative medicine and tissue engineering to construct a biological substitute that will restore and maintain the normal function in diseased and injured tissues. Since then, nanotechnology has been a part of mainstream scientific research with potential medical and dental applications. Nanomedicine helps in the development of devices that are able to work inside the human body to identify the early presence of a disease and quantify toxic molecules [tumor cells]. Nanodentistry will make possible the maintenance of comprehensive oral health by employing nanomaterials and, ultimately, dental nanorobots.
