Recent Advances in the Field of Nanotechnology: A Review
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 1
Abstract
New science and technologies are making their way into all aspects of dental practice and have changed traditional approaches to diagnosis, risk assessment, prevention and many other procedures. The impact of nanotechnology on the field of dentistry is creating major changes with respect to improvement of health, diagnosis and proper use of natural resources. Nanotechnology has its greatest effect on restorative dentistry by contributing to the enhancement of previously established clinical systems with the help of nanostructures such as nanoparticles, nanotubes, nanorods, quantum dots, dendrimers, nanospheres, nanofibers, etc. Nanotechnology improves the understanding of the pathophysiologic basis of disease, conveys extra refinements in diagnosis, and yields more efficient treatment and preventive properties.
