Abstract

The exigency for the most accurate form of diagnosis and treatment to challenge the failure of evidence-based medicine unlocked new avenues for tailored treatment. Precision Medicine encompasses the novel techniques and methods of therapy considering the genetic complexity, variations, and mutations in the human population. Recent advances in nanotechnology have paved a new path in therapeutics. The fusion of Precision Medicine with cutting-edge nanotechnology has offered unique headways into the healthcare management system. Novel approaches of nanoparticle synthesis and drug delivery techniques to cure heterogeneous populations with varied genetic alterations is now possible through precision medicine. This chapter highlights the promising role of nanomaterials in precision oncology where conventional therapy dwindles. Moreover, we discuss the emerging scope of precision medicine in dentistry to cure genetic diseases. Cystic fibrosis, which was once a nightmare, is now completely curable with the boon of Precision Nanomedicine. Precision medicine has revolutionized the medical world with a ray of hope to achieve the pinnacle of human health.
