Abstract
Nanotechnology based dentistry comprises the areas of expertise like diagnosis, materials, restorative dentistry and surgery. Manipulating nanotechnology in each of these fields reveals extensive advantages. In this study, the merits which have been presented by nanotechnology in dentistry have been highlighted. By nano-diagnostics based on nanostructures, detection of diseases like tumor cells in initial stages have been possible which was not possible in chemical-based diagnostic techniques. Nano dental materials have two main features, strength and esthetics. Artificial teeth and dental implant with better quality are available based on nanomaterials. In nano surgeries the main goal is performing surgery at cellular levels. Nano dentistry as a multidisciplinary field of study has gained great interest in the past decade which leads to fast growth of this field with noticeable benefits for dentists and patients.
