Abstract

Nanotechnology is a booming field during recent years in medicine and dentistry. Application of
nanotechnology in Periodontics is referred to as nanoperiodontics. Nanoscale materials show superior
quality and outcome than traditional materials used in almost all areas including diagnosis, prevention,
treatment, drug delivery and in dental implant coatings. This article will overview the history, classification,
synthesis, applications, toxicity and future of nanoperiodontics.
