Nano-dentistry utilizes nanoparticles and nano-materials to revolutionize dental treatments, offering enhanced precision, durability and effectiveness in oral health care solutions. A survey of 200 postgraduate dental students in Bhopal revealed that 65% were knowledgeable about nano-dentistry, with over 60% expressing positive views on the applications of nanomaterials in improving diagnosis and treatment of conditions like cancer, cardiovascular and neurological conditions, diabetes etc. More than 84% students wanted more information on nanodentistry in dental curriculum with 65% wanting it to be included as a separate subject. These findings indicate a strong awareness and positive perception towards nanotechnology in dental care. The study highlights the growing interest and underscores the need to integrate nanotechnology into dental curriculum to maximize its benefits for oral health care.
