Antibacterial Activity and Biofilm Inhibition of New-Generation Hybrid/Fluoride-Releasing Restorative Materials

Fluoride - Releasing Dental Restorative Materials : An Update

The fluoride ion has a well-established beneficial role in dentistry in protecting the teeth from assault by caries. It is known to contribute to the dynamic mineralisation process of the natural tooth mineral, and also to become incorporated with the mineral phase, forming a thin layer of fluorapatite. This is more resistant to acid attack than the native hydroxyapatite, hence protects the too...

Antibacterial Activity and Biofilm Inhibition of Gold Nanoparticles Synthesized with Ethanolic Extract of Rosa damascena and Juglans regia

Background and purpose: This study aimed at investigating the antibacterial effects of nanoparticles synthesized with ethanol extract of Rosa damascena and Juglans regia (walnut leaves) against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, and Acinetobacter baumannii. Materials and methods: In this experimental study, gold nanoparticles were synthesized...

Improving Antimicrobial Activity of Dental Restorative Materials

detection of volatile compounds of medicinal plants with some nano-sorbents using modified or new methodologies and investigation of antioxidant activity of their methanolic extracts

in this work, a novel and fast method for direct analysis of volatile compounds (davc) of medicinal plants has been developed by holding a filament from different parts of a plant in the gc injection port. the extraction and analysis of volatile components of a small amount of plant were carried out in one-step without any sample preparation. after optimization of temperature, extraction time a...

surface antibacterial properties of four tooth-colored restorative materials

objective: this study investigated the antibacterial properties of an ion-releasing resin composite (degufill), a hybrid resin composite (inten-s), a compomer (compoglass f) and a resin-modified glass ionomer (vitremer) against streptococcus mutans. materials and methods: the bacteria were derived from the dental plaque and cultured on blood agar plates. eppendorf tubes were filled by unset res...
