Abstract

Nanotechnology enhances diagnostic precision in dentistry using nano-sensors and advanced imaging agents. Nano-composites improve the mechanical properties of restorative materials by enhancing durability and aesthetics. Nanoparticles facilitate efficient root canal disinfection by increasing antimicrobial efficacy in endodontics application. Nano-modified implant surfaces promote better osseo-integration and reduce infection risk in implantology. Moreover, nanotechnology-driven tissue engineering enables dental regeneration through nano-engineered scaffolds that support cell growth and differentiation.
