INTRODUCTION
1 Truly revolutionary nanotech products, materials and applications, such as nanorobotics, are years in
the future (some say only a few years; some say many years). What qualifies as "nanotechnology"
today is basic research and development that is happening in laboratories all over the world.
2 "Nanotech" products that are on the market today are mostly gradually improved products
(using evolutionary nanotechnology) where some form of nano-enabled material (such as carbon
nanotubes, nanocomposite structures or nanoparticles of a particular substance) or nanotech process
(e.g. nanopatterning or quantum dots for medical imaging) is used in the manufacturing process.
3 In their ongoing quest to improve existing products by creating smaller components and better
performance materials, all at a lower cost, the number of companies that will
manufacture "nanoproducts" (by this definition) will grow very fast and soon make up the majority of all
companies across many industries.
4 Evolutionary nanotechnology should therefore be viewed as a process that gradually will affect most
companies and industries.
5 Most revolve around the study and control of phenomena and materials at length scales below 100
nm and quite often they make a comparison with a human hair, which is about 80,000 nm wide.
NECESSITY
• Current Consumer Products Using Nanotechnology Including Sunglasses, Textiles, Sensors, Sports
Equipment and Sunscreens
• Sunglasses Produced Using Nanotechnology.
• Nanotechnology in Textiles.
• Sensors To Monitor Body Functions.
• Wrinkle Resistant Nanotechnology Fabrics.
• Nanotechnology in Sports Equipment.
• It is hoped that nanotechnology can deliver a valuable set of research tools and clinically helpful devices in the
near future. The National Nanotechnology Initiative expects new commercial applications to be developed in
the pharmaceutical industry including advanced drug delivery systems, new therapies, and in vivo imaging.
• Neuro-electronic interfaces and other nanoelectronics-based sensors are also current goals of research. In the
speculative field of molecular nanotechnology it is thought that cell repair machines could further revolutionize
the field of medicine.
WORKING
• Nanotechnology is the understanding and control of matter at the nanometer scale, where unique
phenomena enable novel applications. Encompassing nanoscale science, engineering, and technology,
nanotechnology involves imaging, measuring, modeling, and manipulating matter at this length scale.
• Nanotechnologies involve the design, characterization, production, and application of nanoscale
structures, devices, and systems that produces structures, devices, and systems with at least one
novel/superior characteristic or property.
• At the core of nanotechnology is the fact that the properties of materials can be different at the
nanoscale for two main reasons:
• First, nanomaterials have a relatively larger surface area when compared to the same mass of material
produced in a larger form. This can make materials more chemically reactive (in some cases materials
that are inert in their larger form are reactive when produced in their nanoscale form), and affect their
strength or electrical properties.
• Second, so-called quantum effects can begin to dominate the behaviour of matter at the nanoscale -
particularly at the lower end – affecting the optical, electrical and magnetic behavior of materials.

Advantages of Nanotechnology
1. Nanotechnology can actually revolutionize a lot of electronic products, procedures, and applications.
The areas that benefit from the continued development of nanotechnology when it comes to electronic
products include nano transistors, nano diodes, OLED, plasma displays, quantum computers, and
many more.
2. Nanotechnology can also benefit the energy sector. The development of more effective energy-
producing, energy-absorbing, and energy storage products in smaller and more efficient devices is
possible with this technology. Such items like batteries, fuel cells, and solar cells can be built smaller
but can be made to be more effective with this technology.
3. Another industry that can benefit from nanotechnology is the manufacturing sector that will need
materials like nanotubes, aerogels, nano particles, and other similar items to produce their products
with. These materials are often stronger, more durable, and lighter than those that are not produced
with the help of nanotechnology.
4. In the medical world, nanotechnology is also seen as a boon since these can help with creating what is
called smart drugs. These help cure people faster and without the side effects that other traditional
drugs have. You will also find that the research of nanotechnology in medicine is now focusing on
areas like tissue regeneration, bone repair, immunity and even cures for such ailments like cancer,
diabetes, and other life threatening diseases.
Disadvantages of Nanotechnology
1. Included in the list of disadvantages of this science and its development is the
possible loss of jobs in the traditional farming and manufacturing industry.
2. Atomic weapons can now be more accessible and made to be more powerful
and more destructive. These can also become more accessible with
nanotechnology.
3. Since these particles are very small, problems can actually arise from the
inhalation of these minute particles, much like the problems a person gets from
inhaling minute asbestos particles.
4. Presently, nanotechnology is very expensive and developing it can cost you a
lot of money. It is also pretty difficult to manufacture, which is probably why
products made with nanotechnology are more expensive.
CONCLUSION
• It is expected that nanotechnology will change dentistry, health care, and human
life more profoundly than many developments of the past. ... However, they also
have potential to bring about significant benefits, such as improved health, better
use of natural resources, and reduced environmental pollution.
• Nanotechnology has been used for dental applications in several forms, including
the field of prosthodontics with the development of nanobiomaterials as a useful
tool. To date, there has been an exponential increase in studies using
nanotechnology for other dental applications. It is not too early to consider,
evaluate, and attempt to shape potential effects of nanodentistry. Nanodentistry will
lead to efficient and highly effective personalized dental treatments.
Nanotechnology seems to be where the world is headed if technology keeps
advancing and competition practically guarantees that advance will continue. It will
open a huge range of opportunities of benefit for both the dentist and the patient.
