Man?s quest to create new technology and materials which are better and more efficient led to the introduction of nanotechnology that deals with structures ranging in the size of 100 nanometers or smaller in at least one dimension and developing materials or devices within that size. The basic idea of nanotechnology is to employ individual atoms and molecules to construct functional structures. Nanotechnology has revolutionized all fields from healthcare to engineering into new archetype beyond traditional and dentistry is no exception. This review provides the role of nanomaterials and their potential to be used in the diagnosis and management of oral diseases.
