Abstract:Irreversible hydrocolloid impressions are easily contaminated with saliva and blood that are potentially capable of cross-infection. Disinfection with addition of Silver (Ag) nanoparticles into the impression material has been explored recently. This research aims to evaluate the in-vitro efficacy of Ag nanoparticle-incorporated irreversible hydrocolloid impression material. Ag nanoparticles (AgZrPO4, National Direct Network Company, Thailand) at concentrations of 0.50%, 1.00% and 1.50% w/w were added to powde… Show more
