Abstract

Periodontitis involves destruction of the periodontal ligament and supporting structures. It ranges from a
simple inflammation of gums to major damage resulting in loss of bone. Multiple conditions like trauma,
periodontal disease, reconstructive surgery, ageing, osteoporosis and neoplastic pathology, have a common
characteristic feature being loss of bone and tissue. The regenerative procedures that are currently practiced
aim to regenerate the lost tissue via means of grafting, placement of membranes and many more, but have
been accompanied with a set of limitations and major disadvantage being graft rejection. Periodontal
regeneration still endures to be a partially unsolved algorithm. In dentistry, a new arena of development
is being exploited to set a new approach for regeneration that is Nanotechnology. This branch involves
tissue engineering which aims to regenerate the lost tissues via manufacturing scaffolds which transport
signaling cells and molecules. These scaffolds possess magnificent physical as well as chemical properties
and biomimetic features that act as a substitute of the highest standard offering innumerable benefits for
promoting cell growth and tissue regeneration via tissue engineering.Nanomaterials because of their refined
physiochemical characteristics and biomimetic attributes serve as a scope worthy substitute that offers
several advancements for stimulation of cell growth and tissue regeneration. This review provides an insight
to basic information about nanotechnology, the various nano particles having application in periodontal
regeneration, the advanced regenerative procedures fabricated on the principles of nanotechnology, their
applications, the clinical studies highlighting the achievements so far, supremacy over the conventional
method and limitations.
