This volume presents the applications of Nanotechnology to
different fields of dentistry. Recognized dental specialities such as
orthodontics, endodontics and prosthodontics have been covered in addition to
general dentistry applications of nanotechnology. The book, in a comprehensive
fashion, delves into such technologies as drug nanocarriers, nanomaterials,
implants and other nanoparticle applications related to dentistry, and shows
how these, in turn, will enhance therapeutic effects against dental bacteria and
erosion. This book not only presents the current trends in dental therapies but
also presents the current research trends and potential applications. A bottom-up
approach has been mostly adopted to suit the need of a wide audience
including novice researchers and post graduate students.
Key Features:
- Each chapter includes brief review in the initial
paragraphs followed by recent trends
- Content level designed to suit the needs of technicians in
addition to novice researchers
- There is necessary minimum
overlap from available literature
- A number of the chapter authors are highly esteemed
researchers in their prospective fields
- Unique coverage of such topics as nanorobotic local
anesthetics, neurotoxticity, nano endodontic sealers, orthodontic nanorobots,
nanodiagnostics
