Nanotechnology Engulfing Dentistry

Nanotechnology and dentistry

Nanotechnology deals with the physical, chemical, and biological properties of structures and their components at nanoscale dimensions. Nanotechnology is based on the concept of creating functional structures by controlling atoms and molecules on a one-by-one basis. The use of this technology will allow many developments in the health sciences as well as in materials science, bio-technology, el...

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 det...

Nanotechnology: A Boon to Dentistry

Dentistry is frequently facing revolutions in order to provide a most reliable and comfortable therapeutic option for the patients. Recently, nanotechnology has emerged as a new science exploi­ ting specific phenomena and direct manipulation of materials on nanoscale. Nanorobotics is the technology of creating machines or robots at or close to the microscopic scale of a nanometer (10–9 m). Nano...
