Abstract:OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the antimicrobial effects of orthodontic band cement incorporated with various biosynthesized nanoparticles.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Zirconia, gold, copper Nanoparticles were green synthesized using white tea extract and dry ginger which are incorporated into orthodontic band cement, characterized using FTIR analysis. Antimicrobial activity against Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus acidophilus was tested in vitro by disc diffusion and Time Kill Curve Assay.
RESULTS: Zirconia nanopart… Show more
