USE OF NANOROBOTS IN ORAL MEDICINE

Abstract

Nanorobots as nanites or nanomachines they are minuscule devices that are measured in nanometers (1 nm is one millionth of one millimeter). The nanorobot is probably going to be constructed from carbon atoms in a diamond-like structure because diamond particles are strong and chemically inert. Nanorobotics is a field where microsocopic robots will be created to perform medical and dental procedures. Nanorobots to be made up of “smart” structure which will have the ability of inciting, sensing, signalling, processing information and perform the required treatment at nano scale. Gaining access to robotics at nano level in the dental world, the aim will be to treat dental conditions rapidly and more efficiently, by causing minimum pain. Dental nanorobots could be built to eliminate bacteria that causes dental cavities or to fix tooth imperfections where decay has already begun. Nanomedicine is the term given to this branch of medicine that is rapidly emerging from nanotechnologies.
