Nanotechnology in Periodontics

By Saurabh Patil and Soniya Waghmare

Nanotechnology in Periodontics provides an in-depth scientific overview of the growing role of nanotechnology in periodontal therapy, focusing on its integration into the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal diseases. The book examines the use of nanostructured materials such as nanocomposites, nanoporous membranes, nanofibrous scaffolds, and nanoscale drug delivery systems to enhance both non-surgical and surgical interventions. These technologies enable targeted antimicrobial delivery, prolonged intra-pocket drug release, biofilm disruption, and regeneration of key periodontal structures like cementum, periodontal ligament, and alveolar bone. The text also explores how nanomaterials improve biomaterial-tissue integration, modulate inflammation, and support guided tissue regeneration. Future advancements including nano-biosensors and smart therapeutics are discussed as promising tools in achieving precision periodontics. Positioned at the intersection of periodontology and nanoscience, this book highlights nanotechnology as a transformative approach for advancing periodontal care and improving patient outcomes.
