Nanotechnology is an emerging boon to change the health care in a fundamental way. Currently nanomedicine is in the transition stage from the world of fiction to a revolutionizing world of healthcare. Nanotechnology is the manipulation of matter at the molecular and atomic levels. The wide range of its clinical applications makes it to offer a promising future in the field of medicine as well as dentistry. Nanorobotics will expand enormously the effectiveness, comfort, and speed of treatments and significantly reducing their risk, cost and invasiveness. Although this rapidly advancing field of medicine offers a promising future, it may also pose a risk for misuse and abuse. Further extensive researches should be needed to pave a way for these breath-taking devices to revolutionize the future of healthcare.

Introduction: Piezosurgery is an emerging boom in the field of maxillofacial surgery for precise, safe and effective osteotomies sparing the adjacent vital structures compared to conventional surgery. Corpus: It works on the principle of piezoelectric effect in which crystals in the piezoelectric substances get deformed on the application of an electric field. Various studies gave the evidence of improved wound healing and bone formation compared to conventional approaches. The soft tissue sparing capability with improved patient comfort and decreased blood loss gave the utmost importance for this surgical technique in the present as well as future world of surgery. Conclusion: Piezosurgery has emerging as a promising surgical modality with a wide range of clinical applications throughout the whole field of surgery.

Background: Mucoceles are self-limiting mucus-containing cavities that is caused by mechanical trauma to the excretory duct of the gland, which leads to pooling of saliva into the surrounding tissues. They may vary according to its clinical presentations, depending on its depth of involvement. They are usually asymptomatic. Sometimes they may show change in size due to rupture and subsequent mucin accumulation. They more frequently occur in relation to the lower lip. Case Presentation: We present a case report of mucocele on the ventrolateral aspect of the tongue, which is a rare occurrence. Even though it clinically resembled a mucocele, diagnostic confirmation was done after histopathological examination. Conclusion: Although surgical excision is the treatment of choice, removal of all the adjacent minor salivary glands is required to prevent the recurrence. They pose a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge to the clinician as well as surgeon due to its clinical resemblance with other lesions of the tongue. So, a thorough clinical knowledge as well as the determination of varying aspects of the etiopathogenesis of these oral lesions is necessary for correct diagnosis and for the indication of appropriate treatment.
