Nanotechnology in Periodontal Management

Nanotechnology in Periodontal Management Review Article Shiva Manjunath R.G., Anju Rana Department of Periodontology, Institute of Dental Sciences, Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh, India ABSTRA CT With an escalating trend of regenerative treatments for periodontal diseases, scientists seek to develop techniques and materials to aid in the formation of new tissues to replace the damaged tissues.
