Article Synopsis
- Dental restorative materials can lead to bacterial growth, so it's important to find materials that reduce microbial adherence for better dental health and longer-lasting restorations.
- The study compared the bacterial adhesion on three different dental materials: a nanohybrid resin composite, a glass hybrid restorative, and an alkasite, while also examining their surface roughness.
- Results showed that the alkasite had the lowest bacterial adhesion, while the nanohybrid composite had the smoothest surface, but no direct link was found between adhesion and surface roughness across the materials.

Background: Antimicrobial resistance exhibited by bacteria against the majority of antibiotics has resulted in research on alternative methods of treatment. Aloe vera has a strong tradition as a medical plant with a wide range of therapeutic uses.
Objective: The objective of this study is to determine the antibacterial activity of gel and crude ethanol leaf extract of Aloe vera against Staphylococcus aureus and Enterobacterales isolated from wound infections.
Objectives: White spot lesions are the most common iatrogenic effect observed during orthodontic treatment. This study aimed to compare the surface characteristics and antibacterial action of uncoated and coated orthodontic brackets.
Materials And Methods: Sixty commercially available stainless steel brackets were coated with TiO nanotubes and methacryloyloxyethylphosphorylcholine.
Purpose: Nisin is a lantibiotic effective against Gram-positive microorganisms such as Streptococcus mutans. The study aimed to determine the effect of the addition of nisin to high-viscosity glass-ionomer cement (HVGIC) on its antibacterial activity, setting time, surface microhardness, and compressive strength.
Methods: 1 and 3% w/w nisin were added to HVGIC before mixing.
Background: The objective of this study was to study the effect of Klebsiella-specific phage isolated from sewage with and without the combination of antibiotics (imipenem) on the growth of clinical isolates of multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae by time-kill assay and also to study the effect of bacteriophage and bacteriophage-antibiotic (imipenem) combination on biofilm production.
Methods: A total of 40 MDR K. pneumoniae isolates were used.
