What does nanodentistry promise to do?
Nanodentistry will make possible the maintenance of comprehensive oral health by involving the use of nanomaterials, biotechnology (including tissue engineering) and, ultimately, dental nanorobotics (nanomedicine).
RESULTS: When the first micrometer-sized dental nanorobots can be constructed within 10 to 20 years, these devices will allow precisely controlled oral analgesia, dentition replacement therapy using biologically autologous whole replacement teeth manufactured during a single office visit, and rapid nanometer-scale precision restorative dentistry.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: New treatment opportunities may include dentition renaturalization, permanent hypersensitivity cure, complete orthodontic realignments during a single office visit, covalently bonded diamondized enamel and continuous oral health maintenance through the use of mechanical dentifrobots

What is alternative dentistry?
This term is the same as complementary or holistic dentistry. These terms are used to describe many different forms of treatment that are unconventional, the best known of these are acupuncture, homoeopathy, aromatherapy, ayurvedic and reflexology. It is not possible to have dental work carried out using these alone but there is a growing belief that many of the treatments mentioned above may help with pain control and healing in dentistry. Dentecom aims to improve the services the dental professionals offer to their colleagues, improve efficiencies, and reduce costs. Everyone benefits from this collaboration, The Dental Industry and the Patient.

STEM CELL TRANSPLANT
The root forms the most important part of the tooth. It anchors the tooth within the bone and houses the pulp (tiny blood vessels and nerves) which extends to the underlying bone and helps to nourish and give feeling to the tooth.
Any trauma to the teeth may lead to infection and death of the pulp, infection in the bone and arrest of the root development. Such roots are very fragile and may fracture, ultimately leading to loss of tooth.
Conventional treatment for such teeth involves removal of dead pulp from root canal, followed by sealing of the canal with an inert material that occupies the space vacated by the removal of the pulp (known as root canal therapy).
However, in the new treatment, after the infection in root canals is controlled, bleeding is induced in the root canal by intentionally puncturing the tissues at the root end and a clot is allowed to be formed in the root canal.
The clot provides a scaffold into which various stem cells achieved stimulation at the root end and the adjoining bone. They then multiply and form dentin, bone or cementum, which deposits on the weak root walls as well as causes elongation of the root.
The sources for stem cells are the dental pulp stem cells, periodontal ligament stem cells and bone marrow stem cells. Growth factors from apical tissues and the blood clot itself help in stimulation of these stem cells and regeneration of the tissues.
the treatment is going on in aiims with high success rate.you can get detail information from dr.naseem shah.she is the head of this research project in aiims.her add. and contact no. are Dr.naseem shah

There are two universities in United States which offer a Masters and a Doctoral Degree in Biomedical Informatics with an specilization in Dental Informatics.
1. University of Pittsburgh.
http://www.dental.pitt.edu/informatics/
2. Columbia University.
http://dental.columbia.edu/education/postdoc.html
To start with it is best to take computer programming courses and database courses at the undergraduate level. While health care informatics is much broad that includes all health care fields such as public health, nursing and medical, dental is more focused on addressing informatics issues in dentistry.

What does nanodentistry promise to do?
Nanodentistry will make possible the maintenance of comprehensive oral health by involving the use of nanomaterials, biotechnology (including tissue engineering) and, ultimately, dental nanorobotics (nanomedicine).
RESULTS: When the first micrometer-sized dental nanorobots can be constructed within 10 to 20 years, these devices will allow precisely controlled oral analgesia, dentition replacement therapy using biologically autologous whole replacement teeth manufactured during a single office visit, and rapid nanometer-scale precision restorative dentistry.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: New treatment opportunities may include dentition renaturalization, permanent hypersensitivity cure, complete orthodontic realignments during a single office visit, covalently bonded diamondized enamel and continuous oral health maintenance through the use of mechanical dentifrobots

What is alternative dentistry?
This term is the same as complementary or holistic dentistry. These terms are used to describe many different forms of treatment that are unconventional, the best known of these are acupuncture, homoeopathy, aromatherapy, ayurvedic and reflexology. It is not possible to have dental work carried out using these alone but there is a growing belief that many of the treatments mentioned above may help with pain control and healing in dentistry. Dentecom aims to improve the services the dental professionals offer to their colleagues, improve efficiencies, and reduce costs. Everyone benefits from this collaboration, The Dental Industry and the Patient.

STEM CELL TRANSPLANT
The root forms the most important part of the tooth. It anchors the tooth within the bone and houses the pulp (tiny blood vessels and nerves) which extends to the underlying bone and helps to nourish and give feeling to the tooth.
Any trauma to the teeth may lead to infection and death of the pulp, infection in the bone and arrest of the root development. Such roots are very fragile and may fracture, ultimately leading to loss of tooth.
Conventional treatment for such teeth involves removal of dead pulp from root canal, followed by sealing of the canal with an inert material that occupies the space vacated by the removal of the pulp (known as root canal therapy).
However, in the new treatment, after the infection in root canals is controlled, bleeding is induced in the root canal by intentionally puncturing the tissues at the root end and a clot is allowed to be formed in the root canal.
The clot provides a scaffold into which various stem cells achieved stimulation at the root end and the adjoining bone. They then multiply and form dentin, bone or cementum, which deposits on the weak root walls as well as causes elongation of the root.
The sources for stem cells are the dental pulp stem cells, periodontal ligament stem cells and bone marrow stem cells. Growth factors from apical tissues and the blood clot itself help in stimulation of these stem cells and regeneration of the tissues.
