Abstract: Dental cariesDental Caries is a biofilmBiofilm-dependent oral diseaseOral disease and a chronic conditionChronic condition that most affects people worldwide. Millions of restorationsRestorations are placed annually to restore function and aestheticAesthetic for teeth affected by caries. Unfortunately, the restorationsRestorations fail over timeTime with an increased annual failure rate for those patients with highHigh susceptibilitySusceptibility to cariesCaries. Dental materialsDental Materials with therapeuticTherapeutic approaches may be impressive as coadjutants of techniques to impart healthHealth for patients and prevent dental cariesDental Caries. Nanoparticles have been used to confer antibacterial propertiesAntibacterial properties and bioactivityBioactivity for dental resinsDental Resins may decrease the chances of recurrent cariesCaries around the restorationRestorations. This chapter aims to highlight the advances in developing and applying nanostructuresNanostructures for resin-based restorative dental materialsResin-based restorative dental materials to overcome limitations faced in clinical dentistryClinical dentistry.
