Apparently there are some new products that take advantage of nanotechnology
to improve RCT filling material. Just wondering if the professionals here
have heard of these and, if so, what your thoughts are? Here are a couple of
links:

Lots of interesting stuff coming out. The first link you posted is
about a new composite material for fillings and doesn't have much to
do with RCTs. I know that Coltene integrated nanosilver as an anti-
bacterial agent in its Guttaflow RCT obturation system.
Personally I'm waiting for self-etching, self-bonding composites... oh
and nanobots that will zap bugs in root canals.

Regards,
George
