Background: Mechanical therapy along with adjunctive therapy, using agents like chlorhexidine digluconate mouthwash helps to disrupt the plaque biofilm. Recently, herbs with medicinal value have been tested for their antimicrobial properties. The present study was designed to assess the anti-biofilm activity of against some periodontal pathogens in an artificially synthesized dental biofilm.

In the present study, poly (ε-caprolactone) (PCL)/beeswax (BW) based nanofibrous anti-adhesion membranes were fabricated by electrospinning technique. The BW concentration was varied from 10 to 30 wt.

The bioaccumulation of these heavy metals inside our bodies and pecking orders will influence our people in the future. Bioremediation is a bio-mechanism where residing organic entities use and reuse the squanders that are reused to one more form.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFTissue engineering (TE) employs scaffolds as a structural support for initially seeding of cells followed by development of new tissues. Electrospun scaffolds generally function as a template of native extracellular matrix (ECM). The chemical composition of the scaffold and its surface morphology strongly influence the interaction between various cell types and materials.
