Abstract

The tooth is an important part of the body that plays remarkable roles in personality development, digestion, infection and many other physiological activities. An infectious tooth significantly contributes to poor oral hygiene. Oral health is correlated with many serious complications such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, neurodegenerative diseases and many more. To maintain the clean teeth various materials or medicines have developed in the field of dentistry. Conventional dental materials often cause damage to the tooth properties, such as tooth whiteness, integrity and promote biofilm formation over the teeth. Taking the disadvantages of conventional materials into account, various nanomaterials have been developed for the application in the field of dentistry. Nanomaterials have the upper hand due to its small size, large surface area and easy to produce in large quantity. This chapter summarizes the current application of various nanoparticles in the field of dentistry.
