The human characteristics of curiosity, wonder, and ingenuity are as old as mankind. People around the world have been harnessing their curiosity into inquiry and the process of scientific methodology. Recent years have witnessed an unprecedented growth in research in the area of nanoscience. There is increasing optimism that nanotechnology applied to medicine and dentistry will bring significant advances in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease. Growing interest in the future medical applications of nanotechnology is leading to the emergence of a new field called nanomedicine. Nanomedicine needs to overcome the challenges for its application, to improve the understanding of pathophysiologic basis of disease, bring more sophisticated diagnostic opportunities, and yield more effective therapies and preventive properties. When doctors gain access to medical robots, they will be able to quickly cure most known diseases that hobble and kill people today, to rapidly repair most physical injuries our bodies can suffer, and to vastly extend the human health span. Molecular technology is destined to become the core technology underlying all of 21(st) century medicine and dentistry. In this article, we have made an attempt to have an early glimpse on future impact of nanotechnology in medicine and dentistry.
人类的好奇心、求知欲和创造力与人类本身一样古老。世界各地的人们一直在将好奇心转化为探究以及科学方法的过程。近年来,纳米科学领域的研究取得了前所未有的增长。人们越来越乐观地认为,应用于医学和牙科的纳米技术将在疾病的诊断、治疗和预防方面带来重大进展。对纳米技术未来医学应用的兴趣日益浓厚,催生了一个名为纳米医学的新领域。纳米医学需要克服其应用面临的挑战,以增进对疾病病理生理基础的理解,带来更精密的诊断机会,并产生更有效的治疗方法和预防特性。当医生能够使用医疗机器人时,他们将能够迅速治愈当今困扰和致死人们的大多数已知疾病,快速修复我们身体可能遭受的大多数身体损伤,并大幅延长人类的健康寿命。分子技术注定会成为21世纪所有医学和牙科的核心技术。在本文中,我们试图尽早洞察纳米技术在医学和牙科领域的未来影响。
