Nanotechnology in Prosthodontics

Because of the growing interest in the future of dental application of nanotechnology,a new field called nanodentistry is emerging. The development of nanodentistry will allow nearly perfect oral health by the use of nanomaterials and biotechnologies including tissue engineering and nanorobots. This book mentions new treatment opportunities in dentistry include local anesthesia, dentition renaturalization, permanent cure of hypersensitivity, complete orthodontic realignment during a single office visit, covalently bonded diamondized enamel and continuous oral health maintenance with the help of mechanical dentifrobots (nanorobotic dentifrice) that destroy caries-causing bacteria and even repair blemishes on the teeth where decay has set in.
