What are the Applications of Nanotechnology in Dental Treatments?
There are several promising applications of nanotechnology in the field of dentistry:
1. Nanocomposites: These materials, which include nanoparticles, can be used in dental fillings to provide stronger, more durable restorations. 2. Nanorobots: In the future, nanorobots might be used for precise removal of tooth decay, minimizing damage to healthy tissues. 3. Drug Delivery: Nanoparticles can be engineered to deliver therapeutic agents directly to the affected areas, improving the efficiency of antibiotics and other treatments.
