- Abstract
Since 1990s, nanotechnology has been exploited for potential medical and dental applications. Dentistry is undergoing yet another change to benefit mankind, this time by transforming itself to the nanodentistry. A variety of nanostructures such as nanorobots, nanospheres, nanofibres, nanorods, etc., have been studied for various applications in dentistry and medicine. However, due to insufficient evidence on potential hazards on human health and environment, nanotechnology has become a controversial issue. The present review focuses on the current status and the future implications of nanotechnology in dentistry.
