Def: The science and technology of diagnosing ,

treating and preventing oral and dental disease ,

relieving pain and of preserving and improving
dental health ,using nano scaled structures
Its the science that deals with manipulation of
matter at the atomic and molecular level . The
basic idea of nano technology is to employ
individual atoms & molecules to construct
functional structures
The growing interest in the dental applications
of nano technology is leading to the emergence
of a new field called nano dentistry which will
make possible the maintenance of oral health
using nano material . It gives a new dimension
to comprehensive dental care as the present
trend is focusing more on preventive
intervention than curative and restorative

Advantages of nano materials

1- More wear resistance
2- more biocompatible
3- less polymerization
shrinkage

Nano Glass Ionomer

Def : its a glass ionomer cement
whose formulation is based on
bonded nanofiller technology ,
mechanical properties are improved
by the combination of fluoro
alumino silicate glass , nano fillers
and nano filler clusters
-nano fillers components role
improve some physical properties of
the hardened restorative

Advantage of nano glass

ionomer

1-surface finish more closely approximates

hybird composite
2- super polish
3- improved wear resistance
4- excellent esthetics
5- show high fluoride release that is
rechargable after being exposed to
atopical fluoride source
6- in vitro tests showed that the nano
ionomer has the ability to create caries
inhibition zone after acid exposure

Clinical indications
Ranging from Class I , III , V ,
sandwich restorations and core
building cusps

Nano composite
Adventages
1- enhance the polish ability of resin
2- higher filler loading increases
hardness and wear resistance
3-reduced polymerization shrinkage and
less staining
4- superior hardness , translucency &
esthetics
5-superior flexural strength

Nano bonding agent

Def:
Nanoparticulate reinforced adhesive
system prepared from nano solution
which contain homogenous nano
particules dispersed in solution

Advantages :
1- higher bong strength performance
2- homogenous coat of bonding agent can
be applied
3-treatment time is minimal

Coating agents
-Used as final coating over esthetic
restoration
-Nanotechnology uniformly disperses
nanofillers for higher wear resistance
-Smooth high luster finish retained over
time
- Better wear stain resistance

Dentin hypersensitivity
Many theraputic agents provide
temporary relief for this common
painful condition but
reconstructive dental nano robots
could selectively and precisely
occlude specific tubules within
minutes offering patient a quick
permanent cure

Ultrafine polishing
Protect tooth surface against the
damage caused by carcinogenic
bacteria as the bacteria can be
removed easily from such polished
surface
Advantages
Lead to decrease staining of teeth &
eventually better esthetics

nanozon
This technology based on ozone
therapy provides high concentration
of ozone
Very effective in dental therapy
Advantages
-Facilities the treatment of initial
stages of caries in milk &
permanent teeth
-Decreases the risk of complications
after surgical procedures

Nano remineralizing agent

Calcium nano phosphate paste for
bleached enamel
Penetrate more deeply into the
defect in enamel

Pits and fissure sealents

-Outstanding wear resistance
-Reduced shrinkage
-Feasible sealing ability
-Hydrophilic materials
-Easy to place

Other usages
-Local anesthesia
-Impression materials
