Foreword I
Imagine a day when a drop of medicine could be placed on a cavity to kill bacteria and then regenerate the parts of the tooth that were destroyed by microorganisms, or when an injection of stem cells could be placed into the jaw of a car driver just after a car accident to rebuild broken bones, or when an injection of a unique nanomedicine could be placed near wisdom teeth to degrade them so that invasive surgery to remove them would not be necessary. What a change in dental health care these advances would be! These are true revolutions in dental medicine, and are the advances we need to help millions of people around the globe have better dental health, and to promote proper nutrition, self-esteem, and life expectancy. These and so many more ideas are brought to life in this exciting new book by Dr. Ramesh Chaughule entitled Dental Applications of Nanotechnology. Dr. Chaughule brilliantly intertwines material science with medicine to highlight unprecedented growth areas across
