Nano Dentistry

Nano-dentistry is the term for the application of nanotechnology to the field of dentistry. The use of nanotechnology for local anaesthetic, dentition denaturalization, long-term allergy treatment, complete orthodontic realignment in one sitting, and ongoing oral hygiene maintenance with mechanical dentifrobots are some possible treatments. By employing a computer to control these tiny workers (Nano robots), dental nano robots can be created to destroy caries-causing bacteria or to heal teeth stains where decay has already started in. Oral fluid Nano sensor tests, optical Nano biosensors, and nanoelectromechanical systems can all be utilised to detect oral cancer.
