This book covers two increasingly prominent aspects of dentistry: nanotechnology and ozone. Nanotechnology has rapidly expanded into all areas of science; it offers significant alternative ways of solving scientific and medical questions and problems. In dentistry, nanotechnology has been exploited in the development of restorative materials with significant success. The recent advances in nanotechnology could hold promise in bringing about a paradigm shift in the dental field. Although there are numerous complex therapies being developed to treat many diseases, their clinical use requires...

This book provides detailed information about peptides and dendrimers and their application in dentistry. Modern peptide and dendrimer chemistry techniques are being used by dental researchers to identify, prevent, and possibly treat oral disorders. Even though the research on peptide chemistry and oral/dental health is still in its early stages, it has already yielded some promising findings that, if developed further, might have a positive impact on all of our health and help both sectors' research paradigms. The book was written for those interested in research on novel materials in the...
