Abstract
Nanotechnology has been widely used in medicine to improve the
therapeutic results of various diseases. Much effort has been focused on developing
new nanoparticles and determining the physicochemical properties of nanoparticles in
relation to their biological fate and performance. Today, nanotechnology has been able
to offer effective treatments for use in dentistry. However, in the design and evaluation
of these nanotechnology-based drug delivery systems in dentistry, less attention has
been paid to the pharmacology of delivered drugs and their pathophysiology. In this
chapter, we discuss some recent advances in nanotechnology for drug delivery in
dentistry for demineralization, osseointegration of dental implants, the treatment of oral
cancer, pain management of dental pulp, and the anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial
formulations as well as the role of nanopharmacology in preventive dentistry.
Keywords: Dentistry, Drug delivery, Dental materials.
