The College of Dentistry at the University of Basrah organized a scientific lecture entitled “Quantum Nanoparticles in Dentistry,” as part of the Dental Evaluation Conference.
The lecture addressed the definition of quantum nanoparticles and explained their physical properties, highlighting their advantages in the accurate diagnosis of oral and dental diseases, particularly in deep photofluorescence imaging and rapid in-office clinical examinations. The lecture also discussed the challenges of their toxicity and the scientific methods being used to make them safer for human use.
Student Abdullah Iyad Farouk presented a detailed overview of the most prominent modern applications of these nanoparticles in dentistry, including early lesion detection, targeted delivery of topical medications, and the possibility of integrating them with artificial intelligence technologies to develop more accurate and efficient diagnostic and treatment methods.
At the conclusion of the lecture, the speakers recommended strengthening applied studies in this field and updating the curriculum to keep pace with the rapid advancements in nanotechnology used in dentistry.
