Effects of Baseplates of Orthodontic Appliances with in situ generated Silver Nanoparticles on Cariogenic Bacteria: A Randomized, Double-blind Cross-over Clinical Trial.
AIM Polymethyl-methacrylate (PMMA) is commonly used primarily for baseplates of orthodontic appliances (BOA). The activities of cariogenic bacteria in biofilm on these surfaces may contribute to dental caries, gingival inflammation and periodontal disease. The PMMA incorporated with nanoparticles of silver (NanoAg-I-PMMA) and NanoAg in situ in PMMA (NanoAg-IS-PMMA) have been shown to control th...
متن کاملEvaluation of the antibacterial activity of a conventional orthodontic composite containing silver/hydroxyapatite nanoparticles
BACKGROUND One of the most important complications of fixed orthodontic treatment is the formation of white spots which are initial carious lesions. Addition of antimicrobial agents into orthodontic adhesives might be a wise solution for prevention of white spot formation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial properties of a conventional orthodontic adhesive containing three ...

Background and Objective: Staphylococcus epidermidis produces extracellular polysaccharide which is known as a biofilm. Biofilm is highly effective in establishing of this bacterium infections and can be formed on medical devices that are used in the body. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of silver colloidal nanoparticles on bacterial growth and biofilm form...
متن کاملThe effect of subinhibitory concentrations of satureja spp. essential oils on the biofilm formation and urease activity of Klebsiella pneumoniae
Background: Klebsiella pneumoniae is one of the most important bacteria that cause nosocomial infections. This opportunistic pathogen has a high potential for antibiotic resistance and can generate a thick layer of biofilm. Nowadays, antibiotic resistant strains are emerging and widely spreading worldwide. Thus, it is necessary to combat drug-resistant strains through the use of novel drugs (su...
متن کاملAntibacterial titanium plate deposited by silver nanoparticles exhibits cell compatibility
Microbial colonization and biofilm formation on the surface of implant devices may cause peri-implantitis and lead to bone loss. The aim of this study was to develop a novel antibacterial titanium implant surface and to test its biological performance. In a previous study, we demonstrated that titanium plates deposited by nanosilver acquired antibacterial activity to Staphylococcus aureus and E...
