Nanotechnology – A boon in diagnosis of oral cancer

In the year 1959, Richard Feynman Nobel Prize winner and an American physicist introduced the concept of nanoscience. It is the study of manipulating substance or matter on an atomic and molecular scale used across a variety of areas such as science, surgery, engineering, robotics, medicines and in almost every field for sake of increasing knowledge and improving efficiency in work. It allows development of new materials with enhanced properties. It can be used in the diagnosis of tumors along with all the imaging techniques used such as tomography. It provides surplus lead in both diagnosis and treatment of cancer.
