Abstract

Cloude Levi Strauss and Winfred Phillips said that, “You have to be able to fabricate things, you have to be able to analyze things, and you have to be able to handle things smaller than ever imagined in ways not done before”. Science is presently undergoing a great evolution, taking humanity to a new era: The era of nanotechnology. Nanotechnology is the field of science and technology pertaining to the creation and use of materials or devices at nanometer scale. Nanoscale is small in size, but its potential is vast. The growing interest in the future of dental application of nanotechnology leads to emergence of “Nanodentistry” which
involves the maintenance of oral health by the use of nanomaterials, biotechnology and dental nanorobotics. Nanotechnologies are increasingly used for surface modifications of dental implants. This paper is an attempt to give an overview about the nanomaterials and nanotechnology and its applications in the field of Prosthodontics.

Keywords: Nanomaterials, Nanotechnology, Prosthodontics.
