Abstract:The purpose of this study was to measure the antibacterial efficacy of a dispersion of silver nanoparticles (AgNP) in a citrate medium tested in two E. faecalis strains. AgNP were synthesized, and AgNP citrate medium (AgNP-CM) dispersion was prepared at a concentration of 100 μg/mL. The antibacterial efficacy of AgNP-CM dispersion was evaluated over two E. faecalis strains: ATCC29212 and a wild strain collected from human necrotic teeth. 5% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and sterile saline solution were used as p… Show more
