Journal Article
Nanotechnology-based restorative materials for dental caries management
2013
Overview
•Dental caries remains a challenge to the improvement of oral health.•Nanotechnology has contributed with new strategies to combat dental caries.•Novel nano-components added to dental materials express anticaries capabilities.•Current investigations have been introduced to exploit anticaries application.•Antimicrobial/remineralizing nanoparticles possess potential for caries management.
Nanotechnology has been applied to dental materials as an innovative concept for the development of materials with better properties and anticaries potential. In this review we discuss the current progress and future applications of functional nanoparticles incorporated in dental restorative materials as useful strategies to dental caries management. We also overview proposed antimicrobial and remineralizing mechanisms. Nanomaterials have great potential to decrease biofilm accumulation, inhibit the demineralization process, to be used for remineralizing tooth structure, and to combat caries-related bacteria. These results are encouraging and open the doors to future clinical studies that will allow the therapeutic value of nanotechnology-based restorative materials to be established.
