Abstract
Rationalizing has become a new trend in the world of science and technology. Nanotechnology has ascended to become one of the most favorable technologies, and one which will change the application of materials in different fields. The quality of dental biomaterials has been improved by the emergence of nanotechnology. This technology manufactures materials with much better properties or by improving the properties of existing materials. The science of nanotechnology has become the most popular area of research, currently covering a broad range of applications in dentistry. This review describes the basic concept of nanomaterials, recent innovations in nanomaterials and their applications in restorative dentistry. Advances in nanotechnologies are paving the future of dentistry, and there are a plenty of hopes placed on nanomaterials in terms of improving the health care of dental patients.
Highlights
Nanotechnology is artistic engineering on a scale of less than 100 nm to accomplish desired design, functions and performance of end products
There is no doubt that the demand of dental biomaterials on a rapid rise and there are no available dental materials having ideal properties for any dental applications

Summary
Nanotechnology is artistic engineering on a scale of less than 100 nm to accomplish desired design, functions and performance of end products. It engages the characterization and control of materials at the atomic or molecular level [1]. Feynman did not apply the term “Nanotechnology or Nanosciences” described the novel process in which scientist can manipulate materials at atomic or molecular levels. Nanomaterials have been developed and are being used practically for a range of medical applications such as drug delivery, gene delivery, imaging tools, and molecular diagnostics [2,5,6]. Nanomaterials have been developed for a range of dental applications that are discussed in this review
