Background & Aims: Nanosilver-based paint is a new technology with antimicrobial and antifungal characteristics. These characteristics were investigated in this study with regard to fungal contamination in hospitals. Method: Regarding hospitalization of transplant patients and their sensitivity to hospital infections, two similar rooms were selected in nephrology ward. One of them was paint...

silver nanoparticles have proved to possess significant antibacterial properties. nanosilver produced by electrochemical reduction stabilized by cellulose derivatives, has been evaluated by european standards (cen tc 216) in order to find out whether they could be applied in food, industrial, domestic and institutional areas as a suitable disinfectant. moreover, bactericidal activity of nanosil...

background and aim: bacterial elimination from root canal system is one of the aims in endodontic treatments, so the addition of antibiotics to sealers can increase their antimicrobial efficacy, as in this study we are determining the in-vitro antimicrobial effect of ah26 and ah plus sealers mixed with amoxicillin, triple antibiotic pastes and nanosilver on enterococcus faecalis. materials and ...

introduction: favorable apical seal of root filling materials is a crucial factor for a successful root canal treatment. the aim of this in vitro study was to compare bacterial and dye microleakage of two root canal filling materials including standard gutta-percha and nanosilver coated gutta-percha, and to evaluate the agreement between results of these two methods . materials & methods: fifty...

INTRODUCTION: Bone graft materials are placed in a variety of skeletal defects to promote bony union. Infection of bone graft devices are devastating complications that require multiple debridement surgeries, systemic antibiotic treatment, and may result in osseous non-union. Besides significant medical costs, there are also high costs from lost productivity and function. It is therefore critic...

objective(s): with the advent of nanotechnology, significant progress has been made in the area of nanoscale materials such as nanosilver (ag-nps). these nanoparticles have a wide range of applications and been used for antimicrobial purposes for more than a century. however, little attention has been paid to the toxicity of nanosilver wound dressing. this study was designed to investigate the ...
