Maintenance of oral health is a major challenge in dentistry. Different materials have been used to treat various dental diseases, although treatment success is limited by features of the biomaterials used. To overcome these limitations, materials incorporated with nanoparticles (NPs) can be used in dental applications including endodontics, periodontics, tissue engineering, oral surgery, and imaging. The unique properties of NPs, including their surface:volume ratio, antibacterial action, physical, mechanical, and biological characteristics, and unique particle size have rendered them effective vehicles for dental applications. In this review, we provide insights into the various applications of NPs in dentistry, including their benefits, limitations, properties, actions and future potential.

维持口腔健康是牙科的主要挑战。尽管治疗成功受所用生物材料的特性限制，但已使用不同的材料来治疗各种牙科疾病。为了克服这些限制，掺有纳米颗粒（NPs）的材料可用于牙科应用，包括牙髓，牙周病，组织工程，口腔外科手术和成像。NP的独特特性，包括它们的表面：体积比，抗菌作用，物理，机械和生物学特性以及独特的粒径，使其成为牙科应用的有效载体。在这篇综述中，我们提供了有关NP在牙科领域中的各种应用的见解，包括它们的益处，局限性，特性，作用和未来潜力。
