Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the antimicrobial and remineralizing properties of a new toothpaste that contains nanosilver and nanohydroxyapatite (NH-NS TP).
- It involved preparing the toothpaste, testing for toxicity against human gingival cells, and measuring its effectiveness against certain bacteria using the disk diffusion method.
- Results indicated that the NH-NS TP had strong antimicrobial effects, no toxicity at certain levels, and significantly improved microhardness of tooth enamel, suggesting good remineralization potential.
