Antimicrobial and cytotoxic activity of electrosprayed chitosan nanoparticles against endodontic pathogens and Balb/c 3T3 fibroblast cells
(Nature Research, 2021-12)The aims of this study were to synthesize highly positively charged chitosan nanoparticles (Ch-Np) using the electrospraying technique, and to test their antimicrobial activity against endodontic pathogens, and cytotoxicity ... -
Antimicrobial effects of gum Arabic-silver nanoparticles against oral pathogens
(Hindawi, 2022)Dental caries is considered one of the most prevalent oral diseases worldwide, with a high rate of morbidity among populations. It is a chronic infectious disease with a multifactorial etiology that leads to the destruction ... -
A green synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles using Musa paradisiaca and Rooibos extracts
(Elsevier, 2022)This study describes the single pot synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) using a mixture of Aspalathus linearis and Musa paradisiaca for use against the fungi Candida albicans. These nanoparticles are known to ... -
Use of antibacterial nanoparticles in Endodontics
(South African Dental Association (SADA), 2017)Several root canal irrigants and medicaments are available to combat endodontic pathogens. However, evidence of complete elimination of these pathogens by the use of these solutions is not recorded in the literature. ...
