ZnO and TiO2 nanoparticles as novel antimicrobial agents for oral hygiene: a review

Abstract: Oral cavity is inhabited by more than 25,000 different bacterial phylotypes; some of them cause systemic infections in addition to dental and periodontal diseases. Emergence of multiple antibiotic resistance among these bacteria necessitates the development of alternative antimicrobial agents that are safe, stable, and relatively economic. This review focuses on the significance of metal oxide nanoparticles, especially zinc oxide and titanium dioxide nanoparticles as supplementary antimicrobials for controllin… Show more

“…Photoactivated TiO 2 exhibited good antimicrobial activity in laboratory assays and can kill various microorganisms including bacteria in the laboratory bioassays due to production of ROS (Kiwi & Nadtochenko 2005;Foster et al 2011;Kubacka et al 2014;Khan et al 2015). In marine environments, the interaction between TiO 2 nanoparticles and the formation of microbial biofilms on submerged surfaces is poorly understood.…”

“…It must be mentioned that there are also observations that are not in line with this hypothesis: First, metal oxide nanoparticles, especially of TiO 2 , possess antimicrobial activity. So-called nanoantibiotics exploiting this phenomenon are currently developed (Khan, Al-Khedhairy, & Musarrat, 2015). Second, in dental implantology, aseptic loosening has been associated rather with zirconia implants than with titanium implants (Cionca, Müller, & Mombelli, 2015).…”

“…Antimicrobial efficiency of TiO 2 NP was recently demonstrated [42], although the impact of such nanoparticles on human or animal microbiota are far from being understood. However, TiO 2 NP, along with zinc oxide, were proposed to be highly efficient antimicrobial agents for oral hygiene; these nanoparticles inhibit biofilm formation and are efficient against oral pathogens causing periodontal diseases, thus, against oral microbiota species [43]. …”
