Abstract

Nanotechnology will change dentistry, healthcare, and human life more profoundly than many developments of the past. New potential treatment opportunities in dentistry may include nanocomposites, nanosolutions, local anaesthesia, dentition renaturalization, permanent hypersensitivity cure, complete orthodontic realignment during single office visit and continuous oral health maintenance using mechanical dentrifrobots.
