Abstract
Researchers are interested in exploring the possible uses and advantages of nanotechnology compared to traditional materials, particularly in the domains of dentistry and medicine. The study and creation of materials, tools, systems with distinct biological, chemical, physical characteristics from those found in larger system is known as nanotechnology. Numerous advancements and improvement in oral disease prevention, diagnosis, and treatment are possible because of nanotechnology. Recent Nano - technology breakthrough developments in dentistry are progressively providing a viable therapeutic option for a wide range of dental problems. The purpose of this review was to provide an overview role of nanotechnology in dentistry, as well as to evaluate its application in the prevention and treatment of oral disorders, along with providing crucial new updates on the various nanotechnology – based techniques for dental disease management. The current review will also assist the reader in comprehending Nano science, as well as its benefits and drawbacks, by discussing its ethical, social, and health consequences. In addition, Nano -applications in dental diagnostics and their function in dentistry will be discussed.
