Nanotechnology in Prosthodontics – The Next Big Thing is Very Small

Abstract

Abstract Evolution in dentistry is occurring tremendously as newer and newer advances are taking place. One such latest advancement is nanotechnology in dentistry. A vast range of applications of nanotechnology is seen in almost all the branches of dentistry. When large sized particle is compressed in a small size, they show a great change in the physical and chemical properties. Nanoparticles can be inoculated in various dental materials for better properties. In this article, a brief application of nanotechnology in various fields of dentistry are described.
