Antimicrobial activity of nanoparticulate metal oxides against peri-implantitis pathogens

Silver Nanocomposite Biosynthesis: Antibacterial Activity against Multidrug-Resistant Strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii

“…The use of nanotechnology for the production of antibacterial agents aiming to control and treat bacterial infections has already been applied [34][35][36][37], corroborating our results. The silver nanocomposite developed can be an alternative to conventional antibiotics, with special importance in multidrug-resistant bacteria [38,39].…”

Antimicrobial effect of titanium dioxide after ultraviolet irradiation against periodontal pathogen

“…TiO 2 nanoparticles are reported to show antimicrobial activity against P. gingivalis, having a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value of 2.5 mg/mL 24) . It is thought that nanoparticles accumulate on cell membranes, the permeability of which becomes compromised, rendering the cell unable to regulate transport, hence leaking intracellular components and eventually causing cell death.…”

In vitro evaluation of the biological compatibility and antibacterial activity of a bone substitute material consisting of silver‐doped hydroxyapatite and Bio‐Oss®

“…12,13 Miguel A found that nano Ag has pathogens. 13 Recent studies have attempted to combine HA with Ag 14 by chemical precipitation or microwave accelerated synthesis method 15 and assess antibacterial and biological safety of different loads, and 0.5 AgHA was found exhibiting good antibacterial properties. 16 Considering the stable space structure and remarkable osseointegration of Bio-Oss V R and the attractive antibacterial activity of AgHA, peri-implantitis might potentially be treated with a mixture of AgHA and Bio-Oss V R .…”
