Seminar paper from the year 2024 in the subject Medicine - Dentistry, grade: 1, Shri Guru Gobind Singhji Institute of Engineering and Technology (Shree Guru Gobind Singh Tricentenary University), language: English, abstract: Several materials including biomaterials applied in varied aspects of Prosthodontics have demonstrated significant results since the advent of nanotechnology came into existence. Though, because the implementation of nanomaterials in prosthodontic s has tremendously improved several properties like modulus of elasticity, hardness of surface, polymerization shrinkage as well as loading property. Several nanocomposites made up of traditional metals or ceramics or resin etc. are now used extensively in prosthodontics. Most recent developments, technologies and advancements in terms of biomaterials and nanomaterials used in prosthodontics have been covered explicitly in this literature review. This review not only provides an extensive overview of the most recent pertinent discoveries, but it should also serve as a major impetus for additional study in terms of this topic. In prosthodontics, both biomaterials as well as nanomaterials have shown to be essential to the advancement of both fundamental research and operational technology. It illustrates how the numerous characteristics of prosthodontic materials, such as modulus of elastic modulus, the level of hardness of surface, shrinkage from polymerization, and filler loading, can all be significantly improved following the use of nanotechnology to reduce their scales from micrometer to nanometer size.
