Nanotechnology and its role in the management of periodontal diseases

“…While current work is focused on the recent development particularly of nanoparticles (10, 11, 34, 36, 67, 82) and nanotubes (15, 26, 50, 54) for periodontal management, the materials developed from them such as the hollow nanospheres (9), core‐shell structures (67), nanocomposites (55, 56), nanoporous materials (61, 63, 75), and nanomembranes (26, 31, 60) will play a growing role in materials development for the dental industry. Although many studies have been published concerning nanocomposite (48, 51, 55, 71, 82) and nanoporous materials (1, 64, 83) it will become of increasing importance to specifically develop nanomaterials for the management of periodontal diseases. It is envisaged that this trend will be further improved in the future as more and more nanotechnologies are commercially explored.…”
