Overview

The book titled ""Nanotechnology in Dentistry"" is structured into five chapters. Nanotechnology, derived from the Greek word ""nano,"" meaning ""dwarf,"" deals with the manipulation of matter at the nanoscale (1-100 nanometers). At this scale, materials exhibit unique physical, chemical, and biological properties that differ significantly from their bulk counterparts. These properties-such as enhanced strength, increased surface area, improved biocompatibility, and controlled reactivity-have paved the way for groundbreaking applications in medicine and dentistry. In dentistry, nanotechnology (often referred to as nanodentistry) offers innovative solutions for the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of oral diseases. It enables the development of nanomaterials, nanocomposites, and nanoscale devices that improve restorative dentistry, periodontal therapy, implantology, and even targeted drug delivery. For instance, nanoparticles can enhance the strength and esthetics of dental materials, while nanorobots are envisioned to perform precise, minimally invasive procedures within the oral cavity.
