Abstract
During the last 15 years, the use of nanotechnology has become popular in the design and development of dental materials. The largest application of nanoparticles has been in dental composites where they have been used to enhance the long-term optical properties by virtue of their size and at the same time provide superior mechanical strength and wear resistance. Other uses have been for adhesives and glass ionomer systems. This chapter will provide details about the various synthetic methods used for the production of nanoparticles for such materials, the properties of the resulting systems, methods of analyses and clinical applications.
