Objective(s): Chlorhexidine 0.2% mouthwash is commonly used in orthodontic patients for plaque control. But it has some side effects. Metal oxide nanoparticles have been recently used in mouthwashes in reports. So we aimed to evaluate antibacterial effect of ZnO and Ag/ZnO nanoparticles against Streptococcus mutans and compare them with chlorhexidine 0.2%, sodium fluoride 0.05% and some of thei...
