Nanoparticles(NPs) are of particle sizes lesser than 100nm and are insoluble the field which deal with the handling of these particles is coined as "Nanotechnology" as their particle size is smaller, they can penetrate easily therefore they are applied in various medical fields, drug delivery and in dentistry as they have antimicrobial property, reduces friction, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant property. Many studies have been done to evaluate its application and its cytotoxicity by varying its concentration and various studies have been done to evaluate its physical property. Therefore, it is of interest to describe concepts of nanoparticles, mode of action, tissue reaction and its application in orthodontics.
纳米颗粒(NPs)的粒径小于100纳米且不溶于水。处理这些颗粒的领域被称为“纳米技术”。由于其粒径较小,它们能够轻易穿透,因此被应用于各种医学领域、药物递送以及牙科领域,因为它们具有抗菌性能、能减少摩擦、具有抗炎和抗氧化性能。已经进行了许多研究来评估其应用以及通过改变其浓度来评估其细胞毒性,并且已经进行了各种研究来评估其物理性质。因此,描述纳米颗粒的概念、作用方式、组织反应及其在正畸学中的应用是很有意义的。
