Abstract:Using a combination of two nanoparticles for coating stainless orthodontic brackets might alter their potential cytotoxicity. The study investigated the cytotoxicity of brackets nanocoated with copper oxide, zinc oxide and a combination of both the particles. Stainless steel orthodontic brackets (Ormco Mini -Diamond series 0.22” slot, MBT prescription) (ORMCO CORP Glendora, California, USA) (n= 31 in each group) were coated with nanoparticles of copper oxide, zinc oxide and a combination of copper oxide –zinc … Show more
