Nanotechnology in Restorative Dentistry
Keywords:
Nanotecgnology, Nanocomposite, Nano materialsAbstract
In order to achieve reliable dental treatment outcomes, nanotechnology has been implicated in various parts of restorative dentistry. The current study aimed to comprehensively review research papers focused on the application of nano-based materials, methods and technologies used in restorative dentistry. Related articles were retrieved by searching in many databases such as Google scholar, PubMed and Scopus. The appropriate references regarding the subject of research were also assessed. According to the obtained findings, nanotechnology could yield beneficial outcomes in restorative dentistry. The mechanical characteristics of restorative materials such as fracture toughness and flexural strength could be enhanced via the dispersion of nano-sized structures in restorative materials. However, these improvements rely on various variables like type of nano-sized materials and additional materials utilised along with nano-based restorative materials.
