NANOTECHNOLOGY AND NANODENTISTRY- A FORESIGHT | |
Suveera, Kirtan Kaur, Navreet Kaur, Gurpreet Singh | |
Nanotechnology is a scientific field that examines and fabricates objects on a molecular level. Nanomedicine deals with the comprehensive monitoring, control, construction, repair, defense, and improvement of all human biological systems by working at the molecular level with engineered nanodevices and nanostructures; the science and technology of diagnosing, treating, and preventing disease and traumatic injury, as well as relieving pain and preserving and improving human health through the use of molecular tools and molecular knowledge of the human body; and the use of molecular machine systems to address medical problems and using molecular knowledge to maintain and improve human health at the molecular scale. Nanotechnology is a very promising technology, with many good uses; conversely however, used unwisely or placed in the hands of the unwise, it promises massive destruction. Through this review we would like to give a foresight of nanomedicine in its implication in dentistry. Corresponding author: Dr. Suveera, BDS, Ph: 07837719027.
