Abstract
Novel dental materials make their appearance in the market and often a dentist is confused about the right choice. Nanotechnology is aimed at the fabrication of nanoparticles, nanospheres, nanorods, nanotubes, nanofibers, dendrimers, and dendritic copolymers, each with unique properties which find applications on dental materials. Often manufacturers exaggerate the properties of the material. This chapter is a brief review of the recent applications of nanotechnology in the field of restorative dental materials. Composite resins and adhesives, cements, and dental liners, modified with nanoparticles for enhanced mechanical, antibacterial, and remineralizing properties will be discussed.
