Abstract: 
Nanotechnology is revolutionizing dentistry, enhancing oral health care with greater precision and effectiveness. It works with super tiny materials, called nanoparticles, that are 1-100 nanometers small. These are used in oral medicine and radiology to improve diagnosis, treatments, and prevention. Things like nanosensors, quantum dots, and nanocomposites help detect and fix problems faster. Nanotechnology also fights harmful biofilms and develops advanced therapeutics for oral health. While it’s exciting, there are still challenges to make it common in dental care.
