Abstract
Nanoparticles in Dentistry: Evidence and Future
Highlights
The medical field is using nanoparticle technology as a therapy treatment for drug delivery on a cellular level
The basic structure of Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) consists of a silica precursor, a surfactant, and a catalyst [4]
When synthesizing MSNs, manipulating variables such as temperature, pH level, concentrations of the silica, and surfactant will lead to the creation of different shapes and sizes
Summary
The medical field is using nanoparticle technology as a therapy treatment for drug delivery on a cellular level. Nanoparticles are between 1-100 nanometers (nm) and due to is size, penetrate deep into tissue and may delivery drugs crossing epithelial barriers [1]. The field of dentistry is using nanoparticles for implantation, drug delivery for caries treatment, and preventative care [3]. Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) are showing great potential in the process of drug delivery.
