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
