Abstract
Nanotechnology can lend several multipronged theragnostic applications which could revolutionize dental practice. The objective of this review is to provide the elementary and applied knowledge of nano-particles that would complement the dentist to conduct nanoparticles based dental materials research and innovation. The basic knowledge of applied and elementary sciences like cytotoxicity, microbial tests, microhardness and strength, tribological assays, characterization of the shape, size, and distribution of the developed materials at a molecular scale is required. Understanding some ancillary tools, equipment and sites for material procurement would complement the journey to the desired results. This paper will give an insight into the collaborations required when one ventures into this arena. A comprehension of the various alliances would ease a researcher in exploring the material sciences world for developments of adhesives, E-chains, wires, and appliances that are smarter, and biologically and mechanically more efficient.
Keywords: nanotechnology, nanoparticles, dentistry, tests, nanometrology, analytical chemistry
