Nanotechnology is the evolutionary science that deals with the physical, chemical, and biological properties of matter at nanoscale dimensions. It has proven to hold a great promise in the field of advanced diagnostics and targeted drug delivery. Dentistry is now undergoing a great deal of transformation into nanodentistry for the betterment of mankind. However, nanotechnology has become a controversial issue due to insufficient evidence on potential hazards on human health and environment. The present article throws light on the present scenario and the future implications of nanodentistry.
