Nanotechnology has become an extremely active field of research in the last decade, because of its potential application in different medical areas like pharmacy, tissue engineering, and dentistry. Nanotechnology has emerged as a promising area of interest in dentistry due to the variety of new treatment options it offers. The unique properties of nanosized materials, which are the subject of quantum mechanics, determine the great interest. The main purpose of using nanotechnologies in dental materials is achieving better mechanical properties, higher abrasion resistance, less shrinkage, and improved optical and esthetic properties. Till now nanotechnology is used in production of a wider range of dental materials such as light polymerizable composites and their bonding systems, impression materials, ceramics, dental implant coatings, and bioceramics. The aim of this chapter is to make an overview of nanobiomaterials used in dentistry. |
