- Abstract
In childhood dental caries is commonly affecting diseases. According to the World Health Organization 60% to 90% of school children and adults are affected by this disease. It is a disease that can be prevented and if diagnosed in early-stage tooth decay can be stopped by applying various preventive materials. The primary prevention of dental caries mainly focused on young children. Fluoride has been widely used as a preventive measure against caries development. Fluoride is found in topical and systemic form, the topical form is good, has a high life span. Recent advancements suggest that asymptomatic regimen of caries lesion has the inherent of re-mineralization. In the field of dentistry, nanotechnology has been introduced which has developed substances ranging from 100nm or smaller in size. Nanotechnology replicates the natural dental enamel by the process of bio-mineralization. Leading an integral part of bone and teeth is the hydroxyapatite. Since, nano-hydroxyapatite can provide preventive and therapeutic loom to caries in children worldwide, therefore various researches are performed to improve its capacity in clinics.
