Abstract(s)
Contextualização: Atualmente existe um conceito em Medicina Dentária que se denomina de Nanodentistry. Entende-se por isto, aplicações usadas em Medicina Dentária que foram desenvolvidas através da Nanotecnologia com vista a aplicações médicas. Sendo um conceito vasto e abrangente, torna-se necessário perceber a influência que o mesmo exerce na atualidade da Medicina Dentária, bem como ter uma visão futura sobre as perspetivas existentes, por forma a tirar o máximo partido das inovações e vantagens que traz.
Objetivo: O trabalho realizado teve como objetivo principal perceber o papel da Nanotecnologia dentro da saúde oral, abordando-a em vários sentidos desde o seu surgimento até à especificidade que atinge em estádios avançados do seu desenvolvimento dentro da Medicina Dentária.
Método: O trabalho realizado consistiu numa revisão bibliográfica e na procura de novos artigos que relacionassem a Nanotecnologia com a Medicina Dentária em bases de dados variadas (PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scielo e b-on).
Resultado: Foram encontrados artigos que relacionam a Nanotecnologia com a Medicina Dentária dentro dos seus diversos campos. Foi ainda possível encontrar informação relativa à segurança e riscos da mesma.
Conclusão: Verificou-se com este trabalho que a Nanotecnologia está a ter um papel preponderante no desenvolvimento da Medicina Dentária. Contudo, é e será sempre necessário avaliar os riscos que a mesma acarreta, tanto para o Homem como para o meio ambiente.
Background: Currently there is a concept in Dentistry called Nanodentistry. By this we mean applications used in dentistry that were developed through nanotechnology for medical applications. Being a vast and comprehensive concept, it is necessary to understand the influence that it has on current dentistry, as well as to have a futuristic idea based on existing perspectives, in order to take advantage of the innovations it brings. Objective: The main goal of this work was to understand the role of nanotechnology in the oral health field, addressing it in different ways from its emergence to the specificity it reaches in advanced stages of its development within dentistry. Method: This work consisted on a literature review and in the searching for new articles that related Nanotechnology with Dentistry in various databases (PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scielo and b-on). Result: We found articles relating Nanotechnology to Dentistry within its various fields. It was also possible to find information regarding its safety and risks. Conclusion: With this work it was found that nanotechnology is playing a major role in the development of dentistry. However, it is and will always be necessary to assess the risks it brings for both man and environment.
