Abstract
Nanotechnology is a phenomenon present since the late 1950′s and is currently finding a strong ground in the field of dentistry. Nanotechnology when integrated into dentistry gives rise to a new stream nanodentistry. Nanodentistry is an emerging field with significant potential to yield new generation of technologically advanced clinical tools and devices for oral healthcare. Nanoscale topology and quantitative biomechanical or biophysical analysis of dental surfaces are of significant interest. In particular, using Atomic force microscopy techniques -diseases such as dental caries, tooth hypersensitivity, and oral cancer can be quantified based on morphological, biophysical and biochemical nanoscale properties of tooth surface itself and dental materials or oral fluids such as saliva.
