Abstract
The future trend in dentistry is nanotechnology, aptly named as, Nanodentistry. Nanotechnology is a
technology which manipulates matter at a nanometer level, and is increasingly finding its application in treatment
of cancer, ranging from early detection, accurate staging at a microtumour level and therapy. This technology
offers a shift from non specific, highly toxic and expensive drugs to highly specific, less toxic and inexpensive
drugs. Nanomedicine breaches the walls of conventional medicine, by being more soluble, site specific and with a
longer duration of action. Thus, this review aims to summarize in a nutshell the future of nanotechnology in
dentistry with key emphasis on its role as an anticancer modality
