“…The two major breakthroughs incepted the growth of nanotechnology in the modern era was the invention of the scanning tunneling microscope in 1981 which provided detailed visualization of individual atoms and bonds, and fullerenes (C60 "buckminsterfullerene") which suggested potential applications for nanoscale electronics and devices. [1] The various nanostructures [2] are as follows: Nanopores -Pores 30 nm on surfaces of titanium implants (used in dental and orthopedic surgeries); promotes osseointegration.…”

“…[2] Applications Introduction Current research is channelized toward the production of a wide array of different nanoscale structures, rather than just limiting itself to achieving assemblers, i.e., nanoscopic machines that can be programed to manipulate atoms and molecules. There are two approaches to fabricate these structures, namely, "top-down" and "bottom-up. "…”

Nanotechnology is the evolutionary science that deals with the physical, chemical, and biological properties of matter at nanoscale dimensions. It has proven to hold a great promise in the field of advanced diagnostics and targeted drug delivery. Dentistry is now undergoing a great deal of transformation into nanodentistry for the betterment of mankind. However, nanotechnology has become a controversial issue due to insufficient evidence on potential hazards on human health and environment. The present article throws light on the present scenario and the future implications of nanodentistry.

Nanotechnology has started to become an extraordinary value in the field of dental sciences. At the same time, continual refinement of traditional methods, developments of improved materials and advanced medications, and pharmacological approaches have enhanced dental care methodology and technique. The physical-chemical properties attained by dental materials with nanometric particles reinforced have augmented the efficiency of dental materials. This article gives an introspective review of the applications of molecular engineering techniques to the dental sciences, and how these new techniques are contributing to the development of new dental materials and improve the existing materials. These new techniques of reinforcing nanosilver in acrylic resin offer an array of possibilities of bearing enormous impact in the physical and biological property of the denture base material. Development of such novel materials can be directly applied in the dental profession.

“…These nanorobots would be able to make surface contact with the mucosa/crown and eventually get to dentin by moving painlessly through the gingival sulcus to the target site (Sahoo et al, 2007). The future roles of nanotechnology approaches seem to influence almost every aspect of human life, and with its advancement, researchers are acquiring abilities to understand and manipulate materials at the nanoscale (Gambhir et al, 2013).…”

Formulation scientists are faced with a great hurdle of delivering a therapeutic agent into the periodontal pockets because of the anatomical complexity of the route and the lesion's contours that often leads to poor penetration of the drug to the area. However, recent nanotechnology advancement and innovations through nanodentistry are increasingly providing a suitable solution for the treatment of many dental disorders including periodontal disease. These nanodentistry innovative approaches have vowed to revolutionize dental therapeutics by way of using nanomaterials, biotechnology, and nanorobotics, that can significantly influence and transform dental disease's diagnosis, prevention, and treatment. The advances have offered possibilities for providing highquality dental care to a vast number of people around the globe who are currently suffering from periodontal disease. Novel nanotechnology-based carriers and materials such as polymeric nanoparticles, nanogels, nanopores, nanotubes, scaffold matrices, nanoneedles, nanocrystals, quantum dots, nanofibers, and nanofillers have demonstrated promising efficacy and their roles in the disease therapy are of great significance. The aim of this review article is to provide important recent updates on the various nanotechnology-base approaches for periodontal disease therapy. The roles of these recently investigated approaches in the disease treatment are also covered in the review.
