Nanotechnology - A Boon to Prosthodontics

Ahila Singaravel Chidembaranathan*

Nano means dwarf and nanometer is 10-9 or billionth of meter. Nano-technology is manipulation of atom of nano size [1-4] which was advocated by Nobel Laurete Richard Feynman in 1959 [5,6]. Eric Drexler in mid1980 highlighted the importance of nanotechnology [7]. Nanodentistry is defined as the science that deals with the maintenance of oral health through the application of nanomaterials, tissue engineering and nanorobotics. Prosthodontics is a branch of dentistry related to replacement of missing tooth and facial defects with artificial prosthesis..


Microbial Nanotechnology

Ahmed Donia*; Lamiaa A. Al-Madboly; Habib Bokhari*

The era of nanotechnology, which is based on the precise design, production, development and application of materials at a nanoscale (10-9m), is evolving at an unprecedented rapid pace. The areas of nanotechnology and microbiology separately have delivered novel solutions for human well-being and keeping the right ecological and environmental balance. Yet, owing to instances where the frequent/inappropriate use of drugs has led to emergence of multidrug resistance in microorganisms, and the nanoparticle delivery is affecting the food cycle...


Deformation Defects on the Surface of Electrodeposited Nanocrystalline Metals

Oleg B Girin*; Ivan М Kuzyayev

The state-of-the-art of the ideas about the phase formation in the electrodeposited metals used in medicine as coatings for instruments and various devices are considered. The developing concept of the phase formation in electrodeposited metals and alloys, based on the discovered phenomenon of the electrochemical phase formation in metals and alloys via a supercooled liquid state stage is discussed. The purpose of this study was to further experimental investigation of the phenomenon in point based on verification, analysis and modeling of the observed effect of plastic deformation of surface metal layers during their electrodeposition...


Novel Encapsulation of Bioactives: Use of Electrohydrodynamic Processing and Applications

Ahmet Ozan Basar; Cristina Prieto; Jose María Lagarón*

Over the last decades, nanotechnology has received great attention as one of the most prominent tools in scientific research. This technology has revolutionized the entire food industry by the production and application of materials with sizes <1000 nm, thanks to which new and innovative food products with tailorable properties (such as sensory characteristics, process ability, shelf life, etc.) have been designed.

Increased threat of metals simultaneous to the biota well-being and the environs is continually causing a major apprehension worldwide. The phytoremediation technique is highly advantageous involving the natural processes of plants viz., translocation, evapotranspiration, bioaccumulation thus degrading contaminants slowly. In particular, nanophytoremediation is a rapid green alternative as it reduces the ancillary impacts of the environment such as green gas emissions, waste generation, and natural resource consumption to the present scenario as there is a great potential of nanoparticles from plants which can be synthesized...
