Different techniques of CNT manufacturing and its potential applications in dental restorative mate-
rials, bone regeneration, and gene delivery have been discussed briefly in Chapter 3. Another inter-
esting group of nanomaterials is silica-based nanomaterials. Their manufacturing techniques,
properties, and potential use for skeletal and dental applications are addressed in Chapter 4. The
applications of nanoparticles in glass ionomer cements (GICs), dental composite resin, and adhe-
sives used in dentistry are presented in Chapter 5, 6 and 7, respectively. The uses of antimicrobial
nanomaterials to prevent biofilm and caries formation are discussed in Chapters 8
10. Chapters
11
13 focus on the applications of nanobiomaterials and nanoscale imaging systems like AFM in
orthodontic materials. Potential applications of such nanobiomaterials and how they can improve
the current orthodontic armamentarium are also outlined in these chapters. The application of silver
nanoparticles incorporated into acrylic-based tissue conditioner to prevent denture stomatitis has
been discussed briefly in Chapter 14. Bioactive glass nanoparticles and their application for peri-
odontal regeneration have been presented in Chapter 15.
Chapter 16 discusses the impact of nanotechnology/nanofabrication techniques for dental
implants. Chapter 17 addresses the potential applications of titania nanotube coatings for dental
implants to enhance osseointegration. Chapter 18 discusses carbon nanotube coatings/scaffolds and
their potential applications in dental implants and bone regeneration. In Chapter 19, various nano-
structured ceramics evaluated for bone regeneration in oral and maxillofacial complex have been
reviewed briefly. Chapter 20 addresses the applications of biomimetics for periodontal and dental
tissue regeneration. The potential applications and research studies done on the utilization of nano-
biomaterials for endodontics is described in Chapter 21. Chapter 22 covers the applications of
saliva as a diagnostic material and the potential use of microelectro mechanical systems/nanoelectro
mechanical systems (MEMS/NEMS) as salivary diagnostic tool. Chapter 23 outlines the recent
advances in nanoparticles as drug delivery systems in dentistry and Chapter 24 discusses the cyto-
toxicity of orally delivered nanoparticle on systemic organs.
