The late Nobel prize winning physicist Richard P.Feynman
speculated the potential of nanosize devices in his talk “There's
Plenty of Room at the Bottom” on December 29th 1959 at the
annual meeting of the American Physical Society.

A few years after that, the first integrated
nanosystems, functioning (according to Roco) much
like a mammalian cell with hierarchical systems
within systems, are expected to be developed
29. Problems

Untraceable weapons of mass destruction, networked cameras for use by
the government, and weapons developments fast enough to destabilize
arms races
Nanotoxicity : Some of the recently developed nanoparticle products may
have unintended consequences. Researchers have discovered that silver
nanoparticles used in socks to reduce foot odor are being released in the
wash with possible negative consequences. Silver nanoparticles, which
are bacteriostatic, may then destroy beneficial bacteria which are
important for breaking down organic matter in waste treatment plants or
farms

60. Clinical Implication
60
The strength and esthetic properties of the resin-
based nanocomposite tested should allow the
clinician to use it for both anterior and posterior
restorations.
61. ADVANTAGES
61
When a particle shrinks to a fraction of the wavelength of
visible light (0.4-0.8 μm), then it would not scatter that
particular light, resulting in the human eye’s inability to detect
the particles
When abraded, filler is lost and voids are very smallWhen abraded, filler is lost and voids are very small
Small size allows more filler content ( DENSELY PACKED) 69%
by volume and 83.5% byweight
Properties are similar to liquid – do not thicken the resin
Increase hardness and wear resistance
50% reduction in polymerisation shrinkage and less staining

• Ceramic fillers provide fast and easy polishability, high gloss
and low wear
• Ytterbium trifluoride - exceptionally high level of radiopacity
• Prepolymer (made of ceramic fillers, monomers and
