Theranautilus, a startup incubated at Indian Institute of Science (IISc) in Bengaluru has developed nano-sized robots capable of killing bacteria deep inside dentinal tubules, and boosting the success of root canal treatments.
Theranautilus is a startup incubated by the IISc.
The nanobots are manipulated using a magnetic field and researchers designed helical nanobots made of silicon dioxide coated with iron, which can be controlled using a device that generates a low-intensity magnetic field.
Earlier, scientists used ultrasound or laser pulses to create shockwaves in the fluid used to flush out bacteria and tissue debris, to improve the efficiency of root canal treatment.
