Objective: The aim of our study is to compare the antibacterial activity, surface microhardness, and color change of glass ionomer cement (GIC) with the addition of green-synthesized silver nanoparticles (Ag NP) and silver molybdenum disulfide (Ag@MoS) nanocomposites (NC) after thermal aging conditions.
Methods: Our study consisted of five groups (n = 7): only GIC (control); GIC + Green-synthesized Ag NP; GIC + Green-synthesized Ag@MoS NC; GIC + Chemically synthesized Ag NP, and GIC + Chemically synthesized Ag@MoS NC. The nanoparticles were synthesized, characterized using the required protocols, and added to the liquid part of the GIC.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how biogenic silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) made through green synthesis affect the bond strength of three universal adhesives and their ability to combat the bacteria Streptococcus mutans.
- Three universal adhesives were used, and Ag NPs were added at a concentration of 0.05%. Various tests, including bond strength measurements and antibacterial tests, were conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of these nanoparticles.
- Results showed that all adhesive groups containing Ag NPs exhibited significantly greater antibacterial properties than those without, suggesting the potential benefits of incorporating Ag NPs in dental adhesives.
Our study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial activities and dentin bond strengths of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) and silver nano-graphene oxide nanocomposites (Ag@nGO NCs) produced by green and chemical synthesis methods added to the dental adhesive. Ag NPs were produced by green synthesis (biogenic) (B-Ag NPs) and chemical synthesis methods (C-Ag NPs) and deposited on nGO (nano-graphene oxide). Ag NPs and Ag@nGO NCs (0.

Material And Method: The 300 teeth of 15 (9 female, 6 male) patients were included in our study, and 5 different study groups were randomly formed. The bleaching process with Ultradent Opalescence Boost (Ultradent, South Jordan, USA) was performed according to the manufacturer's instructions.
The essential goals of this present study are to elucidate the formation mechanism of ellagic acid rich-blackberry, BBE, (Rubus fruticosus L.) and raspberry, RBE, (Rubus idaeus L.) extracts directed silver nanoparticles and to investigate thier antimicrobial properties towards model dental pathogens E.
