Abstract
Nearly every aspect of research and development has been significantly impacted by nanotechnology. Notably, nanotechnology is also having an impact on the fields of health and dentistry by utilising its enormous potential. When compared to bulk material, nanoparticles have proven to be far more powerful. Because of its unusual size, it is much easier to change and improve a variety of features, including surface chemistry, charge, bonding ability, and different biological properties. Richard P. Feynman, a late Nobel Prize-winning physicist, developed the idea in 1959. The area was researched in the years that followed for the creation of nanoscale devices and nanosized particles to produce improved qualities. Regularly used dental materials with limitations of inferior physical and biologic qualities can be changed with nanoparticles to improve the material's inherent properties while staying within budgetary constraints. Unique qualities of a nanoscale material may not only have a significant impact on its biological properties, such as cytotoxicity and biocompatibility, but also on its physical properties, such as tensile strength, fracture resistance, and surface hydrophobicity.
