Nanomaterials have unique and superior properties such as high surface area and nanoscale size, makes them highly advanced and vital for rapid diagnosis and beneficial in treatment of numerous diseases in health sector. Joint efforts from multiple disciplines have contributed to the developments of advanced nanomaterials and enabled their uses in dentistry. These advanced nanomaterials can give more promising results in diagnosis and treatment procedures compared to their conventional counterparts. This review outlines the nanomaterials available and used in dentistry and will further go into discussing the shapes and compositions of various nanomaterials relevant to dentistry. Incorporating nanoparticles in dental restorative materials can be useful for preventing and/or managing dental caries. Integrating the sciences of nanomaterials and biotechnology, nanomaterials could potentially be revolutionary in improving oral health by providing preventative and diagnostic measures; they could also have effects on repairing damaged dental tissue.
