Abstract
Nanotechnology or nanoscience refers to a field of applied science whose theme is the control of matter on an atomic or molecular scale. In general, nanotechnology deals with structures 100 nm or smaller and involves developing materials or devices within that size. Nanotechnology entered dentistry with the advancements in diagnostics, material sciences (mainly composites and bonding agents), preventive dentistry, and dental surgical procedures. A new standard innovation in endodontics is the use of nanobrush for cleaning the root canals along with irrigating solutions. This article is a review that highlights the significance of nanobrush in dentistry.
