Nanoparticles have huge scope in the research field of dentistry and also have a wide area of application. This review paper focused on the different types of applications of nanoparticles in dentistry, which kinds of nanoparticles show good antimicrobial properties, biocompatibility, good physio-mechanical properties, etc. It also focused on how restorative and therapeutic nanoparticles are used in dentistry and helped in dental implants. Different types of nano-coating can be widely used in dentistry for the structural improvement of teeth. More biocompatible materials can be researched and developed to prevent the failure of dental implants, which is a great area of research interest nowadays. Implant failure due to cytotoxicity and biocompatibility is a big challenge in dentistry that can be developed or solved by nanotechnology. The objective of this review paper is, therefore, to give an overview of the principles of nanomaterials and basic research and applications of dental nanomaterials.
