Nanostructures for Oral Medicine: A Comprehensive Guide

Edited by Ecaterina Andronescu and Alexandru Mihai Grumezescu, “Nanostructures for Oral Medicine” presents a cutting-edge exploration of the applications and effects of nanostructured materials in oral medicine. Each chapter delves into recent developments, specific applications, and uses of nanostructures in the oral administration of therapeutic agents in dentistry.

The book also delves into the biocompatibility of nanobiomaterials and their remarkable potential in improving human health and reducing environmental pollution. It covers emerging advances, such as Dr. Franklin Tay’s concept of a new nanotechnology process of growing extremely small, mineral-rich crystals and guiding them into the demineralized gaps between collagen fibers to prevent the aging and degradation of resin-dentin bonding.

This work will be of great value to those who work in oral medicine, providing them with a resource to gain a greater understanding of how nanotechnology can help them create more efficient, cost-effective products. In addition, it will be of great interest to those who work in materials science who wish to gain a greater appreciation of how nanostructured materials are applied in this field.

Key Features:

• Outlines the major uses of nanostructured materials for oral medicine, including the properties of each material discussed and how it should best be applied.
• Explores how nanostructured materials enable the creation of more effective drug delivery systems in oral medicine.
• Discusses how novel uses of nanostructured materials may be applied in oral medicine to create more effective devices.
