Abstract

Nanomaterials offer unique and superior qualities, including a larger surface area and a small nanoscale dimension, which make them extremely sophisticated and important for speedy diagnosis and therapy of a variety of disorders in the health sector. Multidisciplinary collaborations have enabled the growth of sophisticated nanomaterials (NMs) and their application in dentistry. In comparison to their conventional equivalents, these progressive NMs can provide more impressive outcomes in analysis and therapy operations. This review will go through the many NMs that are available and employed in dentistry, as well as the forms and compositions of different nanoparticles (NPs) that are significant to dentistry. NPS in dental restorative materials may help in the anticipation and/or administration of dental tooth decay. NMs and biotechnology are brought together in this research and have the potential to change the world by promoting oral health through preventative and diagnostic services. They may also have an impact on the repair process where dental tissue has been destroyed.
