Context: Dental Bleaching or tooth whitening represents a conservative cosmetic approach even for children and adolescents, whom treatment may be readily accomplished without permanent alteration to the enamel surface thus limiting need lifelong maintenance. Aims: The aim of this study was compare efficacy banana peel orange as teeth agents in deciduous dentition. Methods Material: Twenty extra...

This study aimed to develop an environmentally friendly silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using banana peel extract as reducing and capping agent. AgNPs obtained were characterized via Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Preservation of blocks coated with sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (Na-CMC) Na-CMC incorporated (Na-CMC + AgNPs) for 5 days also condu...

The use of potentially toxic ripening agents is common in developing countries. Four ripening agents namely calcium carbide, potash, African mango and jathropha curcas leaf were used and compared with a control with no ripening agent. Result showed that RB1 and RB2 were the first to ripen at 3days with RB5 at 6 th day. Protein content reduced in the ripened samples in the order of 4.12>3.68>3.0...

Abstract Silver (Ag) nanoparticles are among the most desirable nanomaterials for a variety of applications, such as lithium-ion battery, water pollution monitoring, photocatalytic splitting, and medical devices. Their increased production integration in environmental applications play an important role nanoscience nanotechnology engineering. The synthesis methods Ag include physical, chemical,...
