Nanodentistry, Nanomaterials and Nanotechnology

Nanotechnology has a potential to bring enormous changes in the field of Dentistry. Nanomaterials are those whose size is <10nm.

• 
  Local Nanoanaesthesia: A colloidal suspension includes millions of dental nanorobots would be used to induce local anaesthesia. It reduces apprehension and is fast and totally reversible.


• 
  Hypersensitivity cure:  Nanorobots uses local organic materials which could result in effective blockage of particular tubules, resulting in rapid and stable treatment.


• 
  Tooth Repositioning: periodontal tissues like the gingiva, periodontal aligament, cementum and alveolar bone, may be directed by orthodontic Nanorobots leads to swift and pain free corrective movements.


• 
  Dentifrobots: Mouthwashes and Tooth pastes contain dentifrobots that would clean all  gingival surfaces regularly. They would breakdown all the harmful materials into harmless substances.


• 
  Nanotherapeutics: Nanotechnology will eliminate the solubility problems, lead to a reduction in the dosage of drug and reduce the adverse effects.


• 
  Diagnosing oral cancer: Nanoscale cantilevers, in which elastic beams used to attach with cancer linked molecules
