Antibacterial and white spot lesions preventive effect of an orthodontic resin modified with silver-nanoparticles.
TL;DR: In this paper, the antibacterial property of a modified orthodontic resins with different concentrations of silver-nanoparticles (AgNPs), and quantify its preventive effect on the formation of white spot lesions (WSLs), were evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transcorneal delivery of topically applied silver nanoparticles does not delay epithelial wound healing
Soohyun Kim,Brooke L. Gates,Maggie W. Chang,Kent E. Pinkerton,Laura S. Van Winkle,Christopher J. Murphy,Brian C. Leonard,Philip Demokritou,Sara M Thomasy +8 more
TL;DR: In conclusion, the 1%-AgSiO2NPs are safe and have potential therapeutic applications through its efficacy of the corneal penetration and reduced scar formation during Corneal wound healing.

Antimicrobial and mechanical acrylic resin properties with silver particles obtained from Fusarium oxysporum
Tabata Prado Sato,Celio Ilidio Conjo,Rodnei Dennis Rossoni,Juliana Campos Junqueira,Renata Marques de Melo,Nelson Durán,Alexandre Luiz Souto Borges +6 more
TL;DR: It can be concluded that AgNPs incorporation in HAAR was effective in reducing C. albicans activity, with a slight change in color and hardness of the material, being effective therefore, in regions such as the dental prostheses palate, which have lesser aesthetic appeal.

Supercritical phase inversion: A powerful tool for generating cellulose acetate-AgNO3 antimicrobial membranes
TL;DR: Antimicrobial composite membranes, formed by cellulose acetate loaded with AgNO3 particles, were produced by supercritical phase inversion and regularly porous membranes were produced with a uniformAgNO3 distribution in the membrane matrix.

The bactericidal effect of silver nanoparticles
Jose Ruben Morones,Jose Luis Elechiguerra,A. Camacho,Katherine B. Holt,Juan B. Kouri,Jose Tapia Ramirez,Miguel Jose Yacaman +6 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that the bactericidal properties of the nanoparticles are size dependent, since the only nanoparticles that present a direct interaction with the bacteria preferentially have a diameter of approximately 1-10 nm.
