ABSTRACT
Nanotechnology creates incredibly useful structures from individual atoms or molecules, which provides a new alternative and a possibly superior approach for the identification of oral health related problems and also in designing of more biocompatible dental materials with better properties and anticaries potential. Nanodentistry is striving its best to apply new advances in dental practice. The present article discusses the use of nanotechnology in dentistry and also the latest innovations in oral health care, nanoincorporated products, and issues of patient safety and occupational health.
ABSTRACT
The success of dental implants in patients that have undergone chemo and radiotherapy for a region other than head and neck remain unclear, although some local and systemic factors could be contraindications to dental implant treatment. As there are very few absolute medical contraindications to dental implant treatment, but a number of conditions may increase the risk of treatment failure or complications. The case report describes the successful survival of dental implants placed in maxilla and mandible of a patient who had undergone radio and chemotherapy for prostate cancer.
