Nanotechnology Engulfing Dentistry

Abstract

Chawla R, Shetty KS, Prakash AT, Rathore APS, Saroch S

Nanoengineering is a mushrooming branch with which humans wish to create self-free capitulating creatures that walk around and even dream from mere inanimate ingredients. It has engulfed almost every field be it Nanomedicine, Nano dentistry, Nano on the move, technology or rather Nano is in the air. It may sound fictitious now, but in the future, we dentists will be replaced by microscopic machines called Nano assemblers. The state of nanotechnology today represents something of a PARADOX. On one hand, the marketplace is flooded with products endorsing nanotechnology. While on the other hand, understanding of the underlying properties of Nanoscale materials and structures is still at a rudimentary level with dawning fear of singularity where Nanomachines will rule the human mind. Thus, it is rightly compared with a toy box of nature having the ability to create limitless things. It's on how we use this toy box will determine humanity's tomorrow-Good or bad.
