Abstract Aim To study the role and advancements of Nanomedicine in Dentistry and its Benefits Objective This is to study the changes and improvements in the field of Dentistry due to the incorporation of Nanomedicine and nano-technological methods for treatment. Background Every field involved in Health Care services must be dynamic and open to the introduction of newer methods and technology. The incorporation of Nanomedicine in Dentistry has opened new doors to increase the scope of dentistry and has made path breaking changes in oral surgery among other procedures. Reason There is an increasing need for awareness about the futuristic and advanced forms of treatment provided today. Nanomedicine provides an opportunity for dentists to incorporate more biomimetic substances in dental treatment so that there is greater coordination between the nanostructures replacing the parts of the teeth with our body's regenerative processes.
