Nanoparticles and Its Implication in Endodontics – A Review

Abstract

The field of nanotechnology is growing by leaps and bounds. Since its ascend as one of the most favourable technologies, nanomaterials have found applications in different fields. Nanomaterials with their vastly improved properties have also seeped in the field of dentistry and found various applications. The materials manufactured using this technology are either new or are the improved version of the existing materials. Extensive research has been carried out in this field and its application in dentistry in general and endodontics in particular. This article discusses the current concepts of nanotechnology and their applications in endodontics. Nanotechnology is the future of dentistry and will play an important role in improving dental health of the patients..
