Tiny Innovations, Big Impact: Role Of Nanotechnology In Oral And Maxillofacial Surgery: A Systematic Review

Abstract

Nanotechnology is revolutionizing oral and maxillofacial surgery, offering advancements in diagnosis, treatment, and tissue regeneration. By manipulating materials at the molecular level, it enables precise, minimally invasive procedures that accelerate healing. In this field, nanomaterials improve biomaterials for better bone and tissue regeneration, while also enhancing biocompatibility and strength in implants. Nanorobots and nanoparticles are transforming drug delivery, offering highly targeted therapies that reduce recovery times. Additionally, nanotechnology is advancing diagnostic tools, improving early disease detection and imaging accuracy. While promising, further research is needed to address risks and ensure safe, ethical application in clinical settings, shaping the future of personalized, effective surgery.
