ABSTRACT

Dentistry is a branch of science and medicine that is sophisticated in the study, diagnosis, prevention, treatment of diseases, disorders or conditions of the oral cavity, and healing arts to maintain oral health. Conventional treatment of dentistry involves various formulations including gels, paste, liquids as well as physical approaches like braces, restorative approaches filling, crowns, bridges, and sealants, root canal treatment, gum treatment. There are many limitations of the conventional dentistry for example sever pain, mouth ulcers, less patient compliance, sensitivity of the area, bleeding in gums and less patient compliance. Nanotechnology is new era in dentistry that is called nanodentistry. Nanodentistry is defined as the branch of science and technology for diagnosis, treatment and prevention of oral and dental diseases using the nanomaterials, biotechnology and nanorobots.

Keywords: Nanotechnology, dentistry, nanodentistry, nanorobots.
