Nanotechnology will have future medical applications leading to the emergence of nanomedicine and nanodentistry. Nanodentistry will make it possible to maintain a near perfect oral health through the use of nanomaterials, biotechnology, including tissue engineering and nanorobotics. The nanorobotic functions may be controlled by an onboard nanocomputer that executes preprogrammed instructions in response to local sensor stimuli. The outline of this course is to familiarize the students with the current and prospective applications of nanotechnology in Dentistry.
| By the end of this course, student should be able to: |
| 1. Define Nanotechnology, Nanomedicine and Nanodentistry. |
| 2. Mention the history of Nanodentistry. |
| 3. Recognise the nanostructures for dental applications like nanorods, nanospheres, nanofibers and nanotubes. |
| 4. Recognise the basic knowledge of dental materials at the molecular level. |
| 5. Identify the uses of nanotechnology in Restorative Dentistry including nanocomposites. |
| 6. Recognize the treatment opportunities in Nanodentistry including tooth repair, tooth reneutralization and hypersensitivity cure. |
| 7. Identify the role of nanorobotic dentifrice (dentifrobots) as an oral preventive measure. |
| 8. Understand the clinical applications of Nanotechnology in Cosmetics Dentistry. |
