Abstract

The application of nanotechnology in dentistry has revolutionized the field of prosthodontics and oral implantology by enhancing material properties, improving biocompatibility, and optimizing clinical outcomes. Nanomaterials exhibit superior mechanical strength, improved osseointegration, enhanced antimicrobial properties, and greater aesthetic appeal compared to conventional dental materials. This short communication explores the various nanomaterials used in prosthodontics and oral implantology, focusing on their composition, mechanisms of action, advantages, and clinical implications. Additionally, the latest advancements in nanotechnology and their potential impact on future dental treatments are discussed.
