Recent advances in nanodentistry: a special focus on endodontics

摘要: Root canal ecosystem is a complex environment due to its anatomy and persistence of microorganisms; those may reside within the after therapeutic efforts cause subsequent complications treatment failure. Nanomaterials with unique physicochemical properties have high accessibility untouched areas intracanal ecosystem. Therefore, they attracted attention researchers on efficacy nanodentistry in endodontics. This Letter reviews recent advances nanodentistry, especially root treatment. In addition, it focuses application nanoparticles prevention variety post-treatment infections endodontics, antibiotic resistance bacterial biofilm structures. points out applications endodontic materials, restorative dental adhesives, implants, prostheses dentures. At last, elaborates how used for targeted drug delivery their efficiently controlled releases.
