Sumario:A new field of study called nanotechnology concentrates on manipulating matter at atomic and molecular levels. Modern medicine may benefit tremendously from developments in the field of nanotechnology, and as a result, nanomedicine has emerged as a key location of education in the specific area of nanotechnology. This article aims to describe nanotechnology's possible applications in therapeutics. Nanotechnology and nanomedicine have allowed for the development of new dental materials that are stronger, more resistant to microbial seeding, etc. Other examples include high-strength denture bases, antimicrobial dental glue, aesthetic restorative materials comprised of small particles, and interface adorning for dental posts. Nanotechnology has been perfectly utilized in the medical industry for tissue engineering, biosensors, nanoscale diagnostic tools, and medication delivery using nanoparticles.
