Nanotechnology in Dentistry

The integration of nanotechnology in dentistry is revolutionizing materials, diagnostics, and treatment methodologies. Nanoparticles enhance the durability and antibacterial properties of restorative materials, improving the longevity of fillings, crowns, and implants. Nano-hydroxyapatite, widely used in toothpaste and remineralization therapies, strengthens enamel and promotes natural tooth repair. In diagnostics, nanosensors enable early detection of oral diseases by identifying biomarkers at a molecular level, facilitating preventive care. Additionally, nanorobots hold the potential to perform targeted drug delivery, aiding in pain management and tissue regeneration. As research advances, nanotechnology continues to elevate the standards of dental care by enhancing precision, biocompatibility, and treatment effectiveness.
