Nanotechnology in Endodontics

Nanotechnology in endodontics is an emerging field aimed at enhancing dental treatments, specifically for root canal therapy and other procedures involving the dental pulp and root canal system. Nanotechnology in endodontics enhances root canal treatments with advanced materials, antimicrobial agents, and improved diagnostics. Nanoparticles strengthen sealants, aid in disinfection, and enable targeted drug delivery to fight infections. Imaging and biosensors improve visualization and infection detection. Nanostructured scaffolds support tissue regeneration, potentially healing damaged pulp. Despite promising results, safety, standardization, and cost remain challenges for widespread use.
