Track 7: Nano Dentistry
Extending nanotechnology into the field of dentistry thereby makes Nano dentistry an emerging field with the significant potential to yield a new generation of clinical tools, materials and devices for oral health care. Nano dentistry is said to be the future of dentistry where all procedures are to be performed using Nanorobots that may become a replacement to the present day dental assistants, technicians & hygienists.
The discovery of Nano dental materials such as Nanopowders and Nanocomposites reinforced with Nanofillers are the most rapidly developing group of materials with excellent prospects for application in the field of dentistry.
Advantages of Nano Dentistry:
- Superior hardness, flexural strength, modulus of elasticity, translucency, durability of Nano-dental materials and excellent handling properties of all Nano-dental products
- Faster and accurate diagnosis of oral diseases with small diagnostic machinery
- A reduced span of treatment procedures with faster healing properties
- Reduced mortality and morbidity rates thus associated with certain oral diseases
- Better aesthetics
- Reduced frequency of visits to the dental clinics for patients and less fatigue for the practitioners
- Obvious better outcome of the treatment procedures
- Economical
Disadvantages of Nano Dentistry:
- Numerous ethical issues to deal with (social acceptance is necessary).
- Toxicity thus associated with the nanoparticles is harmful to human beings as well as to the environment.
- Subsequent irretrievable genetic information loss that was essential for better prospects of Nano-dentistry and nanotechnology in general
