Abstract:
Title : Application of zinc oxide nanoparticles in dentistry. Aim: The aim of the review is to explore the use and advantage of zinc oxide nanoparticles in various aspects of dentistry . Background : Nanotechnology is a research hot spot in modern materials science. NPs are known as controlled or manipulated particles at the atomic level (1–100 nm). They show size-related properties significantly different from bulk materials . Given their small size, NPs have larger structures in comparison with their counterparts. This distinct property allows their possible applications in many fields such as biosensors, nanomedicine, and bionanotechnology . The intrinsic properties of metal NPs such as zinc oxide (ZnO), TiO2, and silver are mostly characterized by their size, composition, crystallinity, and morphology. ZnO is currently being investigated as an antibacterial agent in both microscale and nanoscale formulations. ZnO exhibits significant antimicrobial activities when particle size is reduced to the nanometer range, then nano-sized ZnO can interact with bacterial surface and/or with the bacterial core where it enters inside the cell, and subsequently exhibits distinct bactericidal mechanisms. Conclusion: This review emphasises on the use of zinc oxide nanoparticles in various aspects of dentistry. Most of the reports have shown more research and study has to be carried on zinc oxide Nano particles to incorporate it commonly in today’s practice.
