Nanotechnology is the engineering of functional systems at the molecular scale. Application of nanotechnology in the field of dentistry includes dental restorative materials, tooth reposition, tooth repair, local anesthesia, diagnosis, and surgical procedures. Various nanostructures such as nanoparticles, nanopores, nanotubes, nanorods, nanospheres, nanofibers, nanoshells, quantum dots, dendrimers, and dendritic copolymers are used for various functions. Application of nanotechnology has been extended to local drug delivery, cancer therapy, and tissue engineering for repair or regeneration of tissues.
