Abstract:Background: A low pH environment is created due to the production of acids by oral biofilms that further leads to the dissolution of hydroxyapatite crystal in the tooth structure significantly altering the equilibrium. Although the overall bacterial counts may not be eradicated completely from the oral cavity, however, synthesis of engineered anti-bacterial materials are warranted in order to reduce the pathogenic impact of the oral biofilms. The purpose of this study was to synthesize and characterize chlorhe… Show more
