Nanotechnology refers to the branch of science and engineering involved in designing and producing, structures and devices by manipulating atoms and molecules at nanoscale dimensions i.e. of the order of 100 nanometres or less. Due to a very high surface area to volume ratio of nanoparticles, new materials with superior properties and effects can be produced compared to their larger counterparts. The tremendously growing scientific and innovative research, has led to the development of nanomaterials with advanced bioapplications. Inorganic nanoparticles, exhibit significantly novel and improved physical, chemical, and biological properties, phenomena and functionality due to their Nano scale size. The use of nano phasic and nanostructured materials is increasing manifold due to their potential for achieving specific processes and selectivity, especially in biological and pharmaceutical application. Specifically formulated nanomaterials have become very popular in the design and development of many dental materials so as to improve their chemical, physical and mechanical properties. Their unique phenomena enable the dentists to execute curative and reconstructive procedures at the cellular and molecular levels enabling the maintenance of near-perfect oral health and uplift the standard of medicine. This article tries to give an insight of the application and recent development of nano products with superior quality in the field of prosthodontics, Implant materials, Bone replacement materials and Maxillofacial prosthesis. The evolution of nanotechnology will help dentists with more precision made materials, prosthesis and equipments and to illustrate their potentially far-reaching impact on clinical dental practice. In this article, we have made an attempt to have an glimpse on impact of nanotechnology in the field of prosthodontics.
