Dentistry: Applications of Tissue Engineering and Nanotechnology - by Preston Bailey (Hardcover)

About the Book

Dentistry is a branch of medicine focused on the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of oral health issues, including teeth, gums, and related structures. It involves procedures like cleanings, fillings, extractions, and corrective surgeries to maintain and improve oral health and overall well-being. The convergence of tissue engineering and nanotechnology heralds transformative advancements in dentistry . Tissue engineering techniques facilitate the regeneration of damaged dental tissues, such as periodontal ligaments and dental pulp, offering promising alternatives to traditional treatments. Nanotechnology enables precise manipulation at the molecular level, enhancing properties like material strength and biocompatibility in dental implants and restorative materials. Nanoparticles imbued with antimicrobial agents combat oral infections effectively. Moreover, nanomaterial-based drug delivery systems offer targeted therapy for conditions like periodontitis. These innovations not only improve treatment outcomes but also pave the way for personalized dental care. This book explores all the important aspects of dentistry in the present day scenario. The various studies that are constantly contributing towards advancing technologies and evolution of this field are examined in detail. This book includes contributions of experts and scientists which will provide innovative insights into this field.
