Abstract
Nanotechnology is progressively changing the human life and health care in recent years. This technology has the capacity of changing the entire healthcare techniques by proposing novel disease prevention techniques and inventing nanorobots. One of the most important applications of nanotechnology is in the dental medicine that is capable of covering operations free of pain. As pain management is one of the most challenging features in this field of study, incorporation of nanotechnology and pain-free dentistry is of the most concern in both academy and industry. In this chapter, efforts have been taken into account to review various nanotechnologies engaged in dentistry as well as their impact on the pain-free dentistry.
