Nanomaterials in Periodontology

Bys: Garg, Aakanksha and Yadav, Ashish

This book presents a comprehensive and contemporary overview of the rapidly evolving field of nanotechnology in periodontology. It explores the fundamental principles of nanoscience, classification and synthesis of nanomaterials, and their remarkable applications in modern periodontal therapy. The text highlights how nanomaterials have transformed conventional approaches by enabling targeted drug delivery, enhanced antimicrobial action, biofilm disruption, host modulation, and predictable periodontal regeneration.Special emphasis is placed on the role of nanoparticles in local drug delivery systems, tissue engineering, periodontal diagnostics, and implant-related therapies. The book also discusses advanced regenerative strategies involving nano-hydroxyapatite, polymeric nanoparticles, liposomes, hydrogels, and multifunctional biomimetic scaffolds. Emerging concepts such as nano-biosensors, theranostics, and smart implant surfaces are presented with strong scientific evidence and clinical relevance.Designed for postgraduate students, clinicians, academicians, and researchers, this book bridges basic nanoscience with practical periodontal applications.
