3. • nanotechnology are the study and application of extremely small
things and can be used across all the other science fields, such as
chemistry, biology, physics, materials science, and engineering.
• Nanotechnology is science,and technology conducted at the
nanoscale, which is about 1 to 100 nanometers.
7. The experimental pilot study evaluated the use of magnet-
directed nanoparticles containing the local anesthetic drug
ropivacaine (MNP/Ropiv) to produce
Magnets Used to Attract Anesthesia-Containing Nanoparticles
8. Experiment
• The researchers then placed magnets around the ankle of the right
paw for 15, 30, or 60 minutes. The goal was to use the magnets to
draw the nanoparticles to ankle. Once there, the particles would
release the anesthetic, numbing the nerves around the ankle.
9. Local anathesia
• Millions of active analgesic micron-size dental robots will be in
instilled on the patient’s gingiva
• After contacting the surface of crown or mucosa , the ambulating
nanorobots reach pulp via gingival sulcus , lamina propria ,and
dentinal tubules
11. ………. So new technique
should be implied
• The bacteria that live in dental plaque and contribute to tooth decay
often resist traditional antimicrobial treatment, as they can "hide"
within a sticky biofilm matrix
12. What does iron containing nanoparticles does
to hydrogen peroxide
Iron-containing nanoparticles catalyze
activity of Hydrogen peroxide
18. We know very well that bacteria
specifically attack the margins
between fillings and the remaining
tooth to create cavities
19. PROS OF
SILICA
• organize themselves on a
molecule-by-molecule basis to
maximize drug density, with
enough supply to last years

Editor's Notes
The researchers then placed magnets around the ankle of the right paw for 15, 30, or 60 minutes. The goal was to use the magnets to draw the nanoparticles to ankle. Once there, the particles would release the anesthetic, numbing the nerves around the ankle.Sensation in the right paw was assessed by comparing the right paw to the left paw, which was not affected. Other groups of rats received standard nerve block, with ropivacaine injected directly into the ankle; or IV injection of ropivacaine alone, not incorporated into nanoparticles.Injection of MNP/Ropiv complexes followed by magnet application produced significant nerve block in the right ankle, similar to a standard nerve block. The left ankle was unaffected.
A new strategy conceived by University of Pennsylvania researchers took a more sophisticated approach. Instead of simply applying an antibiotic to the teeth, they took advantage of the pH-sensitive and enzyme-like properties of iron-containing nanoparticles to catalyze the activity of hydrogen peroxide, a commonly used natural antiseptic. The activated hydrogen peroxide produced free radicals that were able to simultaneously degrade the biofilm matrix and kill the bacteria within, significantly reducing plaque and preventing the tooth decay, or cavities, in an animal model.
nanoparticles' reaction with a 1 percent or less hydrogen peroxide solution was remarkably effective at killing bacteria, wiping out more than 99.9 percent of the S. mutans in the biofilm within five minutes, an efficacy more than 5,000 times greater than using hydrogen peroxide alone
Through this research we discovered a combination of drugs and silica glass that." This discovery of using antimicrobials which self-assemble means the team can pack 50 times as much of the bacteria-fighting drugs into the particles.
"We know very well that bacteria specifically attack the margins between fillings and the remaining tooth to create cavities," says Finer. "Giving these materials an antimicrobial supply that will last for years could greatly reduce this problem."
