NANOMATERIALS IN PERIODONTICS

Nanotechnology is a promising field that plays an increasingly important role in the diagnostics, prognostics, prediction, and management of various treatments. Although achieving the goal of complete and proper regeneration of periodontal tissues, including the cementum, periodontal ligament, and bone for various periodontal management, may not be feasible for many years, recent developments and achievements in nanomaterials and nanotechnology offer promising prospects for commercial applications in the diagnosis and management of periodontal diseases.
