Aim of the study: The purpose of the study is to understand and assess the knowledge of Nanotechnology used in Endodontics and how they can be helpful in ensuring proper prevention and treatment of endodontic cases. Methodology: A questionnaire survey was conducted amongst 45 Endodontists who had more than a year of clinical experience. The questions were based on usage of Nanoparticles as well as its contribution in the field of dentistry particularly in cases of root canal therapy. Results: Around 56% believed that adding nanoparticles to biomaterials especially used in restoration of teeth would prove helpful as these would increase the flexural strength as well as improve the abrasion resistance and around 67% believed that adding nanoparticles especially to composite restorative material reduced polymerization shrinkage considerably. Conclusion: Nanoparticles-based treatment strategies have the potential to improve antibacterial/antibiofilm efficacy in endodontics. Thus, the increasing interest in this field warrants sound research based on scientific and clinical collaborations to emphasize the future potential of nanoparticles in clinical endodontics. Key words: Nanotechnology, disinfectant, nanobioparticles, endodontics.
