Abstract
Nano-structured materials have been receiving considerable attention as a results of their unique physical and chemical properties, biological properties, and functionality due to their nano-scale size. Metallicbased nano-structured materials have created a new interesting field in all sciences for continuous investigations due to their unique properties. Dental materials with antimicrobial activity such as filling materials, cements, sealants, materials for temporary restorations, and adhesives have emerged. Their applications have led to development of new practical productions. They show good antimicrobial properties due to their large surface area to volume ratios. They can be used as effective growth inhibitors of various microorganisms. Furthermore, nanomaterials can be modified of achieve better efficiency and to facilitate their applications in different fields such as biomaterials and medicine. Nanoparticles have been used in dentistry as drug-delivery, caries control and remineralization, hypersensivity, oral biofilm management, periodontal management
