  • Abstract:
  • Nanotechnology deals with the manufacture of particles, materials, or structures of molecules with dimensions on the nanometer level. Healthcare nanoparticles (NPs) have become prevalent in several aspects of dentistry, particularly prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and repair, according to several research. The use of nanoparticles in dental cosmetics improves the effectiveness of mouthwash as well as toothpaste. Toothpaste contains nanoparticles for multiple purposes, such as preventing dental decay, remineralizing the tooth enamel, decreasing hypersensitivity, whitening the tooth, and possessing antimicrobial properties. This study aims to give a better understanding of the applications of nanoparticles in toothpaste preparation and dentistry. The nanoparticles which were explored include silver, Hydroxyapatite (HAp), calcium, gold, zinc and selenium. In this study, rising trends in nanoparticle’s field and based on the novel NPs approaches, possible future prospects of nanoparticle-based toothpaste formulation were also discussed.
