Abstract: A major issue in modern dentistry research is the prevention and treatment of oral infectious disease caused by pathogenic bacteria. To achieve this goal, nanodentistry has attracted lots of attention due to its distinct advantages. The main concern of nanodentistry is the promotion of oral health and enhancement of life quality by utilizing novel nanomaterials, biotechnology, tissue engineering, nanomedicine and so forth. Lately, nanodentistry shows unique advantages in antibacterial, osseointegration, bone regeneration, and physical performance improvement. Consequently, in this review, the various applications of nanodentistry in antibacterial filed were systematically summarized with the aim to inspire the researchers engaged in this field.
