Abstract

Natural processes such as mineralization, natural disasters, and geological recycling of matter result in the constant formation of nanoparticles, which are found throughout the environment. In recent years, there has been a lot of interest in nanoparticles and their applications. Because of their unique physicochemical properties, nanoparticles provide promising new avenues for the prevention and treatment of dental infections. With potential applications of nanoparticles in clinical endodontics in the near future, robust research initiatives backed by collaborations between academia and industry are critical. These nanoparticles show a number of characteristics that may improve the way endodontic infections are treated, such as increased reactivity, improved antibacterial efficacy, and the capacity to functionalize with other reactive substances.
