Abstract
In the last two decades, we have come a long way in material advancement and application in dentistry. Not only we developed polymer composites that were best in class at the time but now the researchers have been altering the properties by changing the chemistry and taking the structure to nanoscale. The additives like inorganic and organic nanoparticles with or without polymer composites not only overcome the mechanical challenges but improves the physico-chemical and therapeutic properties of dressings, cements, and lining materials. On the other hand, a direct interaction of Nanobio-materials with the oral microbiome can hinder the plaque and tooth decay by controlling the biofilm formation but can affect the health of healthy oral microbiome. This chapter would focus on the emerging nanostructures-based biomaterials for dental applications and their effect on microbiome.
