Nanotechnologies as the reality of modern dentistry (literature review)

Abstract

The prefix "nano" is used by the global scientrTc community. Highly dispersed solidphase objects which have a size from 1 to 100 nm are called nanoparticles. With the international free fulltext archive «PubMed» you can get more than 215 thousand results to the "nanoparticles" search query. Today, the accumulated theoretical knowledge is being actively integrated in dentistry. Experts are thinking about new ways to solve current professional problems. Only time will tell how successful the process of integrating narrowpro^le research into practical activities will be. Development and implementation of nanotechnological treatment are a promising direction for modern dentistry.Aim was to study the promising areas for using nanotechnologies in dentistry, existing methods of diagnostics, treatment and prevention of the dental diseases based on the properties of nanoparticles, to review the scientrTc literature devoted to this problem.
