Ganesh Rathod*

ABSTRACT

A Review on Zinc Oxide (Zno) Nanopowder. In Dentistry Would Typically Cover The Following Key Aspects:1. Properties of ZnO nanopowder: - Particle size and morphology - Antibacterial and antifungal properties - Biocompatibility - Mechanical strength2. Applications in dentistry: - Dental composites and restorative materials - Endodontic sealers and root canal treatments - Dental implant coatings - Dental adhesives - Toothpaste and mouthwash formulations3. Benefits in dental applications: - Enhanced antimicrobial activity - Improved mechanical properties of dental materials - Reduced bacterial adhesion on dental surfaces - Potential for remineralization of tooth enamel4. Challenges and limitations: - Potential toxicity at high concentrations - Uniform dispersion in dental materials - Long-term stability and durability5. Recent advancements: - Surface modifications for improved compatibility - Combination with other nanomaterials for synergistic effects - Novel synthesis methods for controlled size and shape6. Future prospects: - Potential for smart dental materials with controlled release properties - Integration with emerging technologies like 3D printing in dentistry - Development of personalized dental care products7. Regulatory considerations and safety assessments for clinical use To conduct a comprehensive review, it would be necessary to analyze recent research papers, clinical studies, and systematic reviews on the topic. This would provide a balanced view of the current state of ZnO nanopowder applications in dentistry, including both promising developments and areas requiring further investigation.
