Newer disinfection strategies in endodontics are aimed to eliminate biofilm bacteria not only from the main canals but also from the uninstrumented portions and anatomical complexities of the root canal system without inducing untoward effects on periradicular tissue. Nanoparticles derived from bioactive materials have the ability to mediate targeted antibacterial efficacy while sparing the mammalian cells. The aim of this article is to provide a concise review of their use in root canal treatment.
