Photocatalytic Antibacterial Effect of TiO2 Film of TiAg on Streptococcus mutans

Abstract: Objective: To test through various oxidation procedures the differences in antibacterial activities against Streptococcus mutans (S mutans) of Titanium (Ti) and Titanium silver (TiAg) metals coated with TiO 2 . Materials and Methods: This study examined the photocatalytic antibacterial effects on S mutans of Ti and TiAg ubstrates coated with two crystalline forms of TiO 2 by thermal and anodic oxidation. A bacterial suspension of S mutans was pipetted onto TiO 2 -coated metal specimens and uncoated specimens w… Show more

“…The anodic oxidation was utilized in this study to enable anatase crystal formation rather than rutile crystal formation. We thought that this method would be more suitable based on the conclusion of the studies by Choi et al (2009). These compared the 2 methods and stated that greater and more rapid antibacterial activity was achieved by anodic oxidation, with stronger reduction in numbers in bacterial counts.…”

“…). It is also commonly stated that anatase crystals have the highest photocatalytic activity among the crystal types of TiO 2 (Choi et al, 2007;Chun et al, 2007;Horiuchi et al, 2007;Choi et al, 2009;Özyildiz et al, 2010). Since traditional methods present problems with observing the crystal structure of the coated thin films, we used GIXRD and a separate glass slide, which was coated under the same conditions as the arch wires (Hamid, 2003).…”

“…22 Numerous studies have been performed evaluating the antibacterial effects of photoactivated titanium oxides against common bacteria, such as E. coli and various streptococcus species. 11,25,26 However, relatively few studies have examined the effect on Staphylococci species, which are the most prevalent species associated with implant-related infections. 4,26 In addition to the antibacterial effect, photoactivation of titanium oxides has also been shown to effectively degrade organic compounds and dyes.…”
