Nano-Biomaterials and Their Biocompatibility in Restorative Dentistry: A Review
Journal Title: International Journal of Pharmaceutical Science Invention - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
Human healthcare is facing a major uprising in the wake of ongoing technological expansions in the field of nanotechnology. Incorporation of nanotechnology into dentistry will make possible the maintenance of near perfect oral environment by using nanomaterials, including tissue engineering, and ultimately, dental nanorobots. New potential treatment prospects in dentistry may include: dentition renaturalization and permanent hypersensitivity cure, local anaesthesia, complete orthodontic realignments during a single office visit, covalently bonded diamondised enamel, and oral health maintenance using mechanical dentifrobots, to destroy bacteria in the mouth that cause dental caries or even repair spots on the teeth where decay has set in, by use of computer to direct these tiny workers in their tasks. Nanodentistry still faces many significant challenges in realizing its tremendous potential. There are larger social issues of public acceptance, regulations, ethics and human safety that must be taken into consideration before molecular nano-technology can enter the modern medical armamentarium. However, there is equally powerful motivation to surmount these various challenges such as the possibility of providing high quality dental care to 80% of the population that at present receives no noteworthy dental care. Time, financial and scientific resources, specific advances and human needs will conclude which of the applications to be realized first!
