Currently, nanopowders and nanocomposites reinforced with nanofillers are one of themost rapidly developing groups of materials possessing excellent prospects for a wide range ofindustrial and medical applications. This paper presents several examples of the nanomaterialsdeveloped in the Faculty of Materials Science and Engineering of Warsaw University ofTechnology which can have dental applications.Ceramic-polymer composites are the most popular materials for dental fillings. The influence ofthe nanofiller additions on the relevant properties of ceramic-polymer dental composites arediscussed in the paper.The other group of nanomaterials applicable as dental materials are based on nanostructured yttriumstabilized zirconium oxide ceramic. This ceramic is widely used for the fabrication of crowns,bridges, inlays and other dental elements for which high strength, durability and estheticalappearance is required. The effect of the nano-grain size of the ceramic powder on the sinteringparameters, microstructure and properties of the zirconia is discussed
