Abstract:Nanotechnology is of intense interest to researchers due to the basic fact that the properties of the material can be effectively manipulated when the size is transformed to nanoscopic. New opportunities arise out of the unique features which have been effectually utilized in the development of nano pharmaceuticals. This has revolutionized the health care system extensively by its diverse applications in modern medicine and dental science. Material science and periodontics have jointly adopted this technology … Show more
“…3 A range of nanoparticles are being utilized for drug delivery in periodontal treatments including nanospheres, nanogels, nanocomposites, nano capsules, nanofibers, dendrimers and liposomes. 3 For example a study done by Lee et al in 2016 showed that Poly-D, L-lactic-coglycolic acid derived nanocarriers loaded with tetracycline and lovastatin demonstrated effectiveness in treating canine models with periodontitis. They found out that it was not only biocompatible but also inhibited bacterial growth in human therapy.…”
Nanotechnology has emerged as a promising approach in the treatment of periodontal diseases, which affect a large proportion of the population worldwide. By studying nanotechnology, we can gain a better understanding of how these materials can be used in daily practice. Nanotechnology involves the development of materials, devices, and systems that exhibit unique physical, chemical, and biological properties at the nanoscale level. This technology has the potential to revolutionize the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of oral diseases, including periodontal disease, which affects a significant portion of the global population. The use of nanotechnology in dentistry, also known as Nano dentistry, provides promising solutions for the treatment of various dental disorders, including periodontal disease. This article summarizes the current research trends in periodontal nanotechnology, including nanoscale drug delivery systems and nanomaterials for tissue engineering and regeneration. Nanoparticles offer significant advantages over conventional drug delivery systems due to their controlled release and improved bioavailability, making them a promising approach for periodontitis treatment. Furthermore, nanomaterials act as three-dimensional scaffolds, providing a favourable environment for tissue regeneration by promoting cellular adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation. The potential of nanotechnology in tissue engineering is vast, and its application in bone defect repair and implant success rates has shown great potential. However, safety issues and biological risks must be addressed before routine implementation of nano dentistry in periodontal treatment. Overall, this article provides insights into the potential of nanotechnology in periodontics and its translation into a more specific approach of nano periodontology in periodontology.
