Abstract
Damage to the environment is without a doubt one of the most important problems facing society today. As dentists, we need to be aware that some of the procedures and methods we've been using may be bad for the environment. The release of heavy metals from dental equipment and the use of electronic devices pollute the environment and pose a serious threat to the ecosystem. Nanotechnology is a growing field that is being studied in depth to clean up pollution. This is because nanosized particles have unique properties. Since nanoparticles have a high ratio of surface area to volume and are much more reactive, they have been thought of a lot for cleaning up the environment. This review looks at the sources of heavy metals and how they affect the environment in dentistry. It also looks at how nanoparticles can be used to clean up the environment. Even though the literature on the different uses of inorganic nanoparticles in environmental remediation has been reviewed, the research is still limited to lab settings, and more research is needed on how nanoparticles can be used in environmental remediation.
