Nanotechnology, derived from the Greek word nano meaning dwarf, involves manipulating matter at the atomic and molecular level, typically within the range of 1-100 nanometers. This transformative field was formally named by Dr. Nori Taniguchi in 1974 and has since evolved to include the creation and use of nanoscale structures, devices, and systems. In dentistry, nanotechnology has significantly advanced the field by offering improved material properties, enhanced treatment techniques, and novel therapeutic options-collectively shaping the discipline now known as nanodentistry.The application of nanotechnology in dentistry began with the conceptual introduction of nanomedicine by Robert A. Freitas. Nano dentistry refers to the use of nanomaterials and nanorobots for diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of oral diseases. Nanomaterials are especially beneficial due to their small size, high surface energy, and a large proportion of surface atoms, resulting in superior mechanical, chemical, and biological properties.
