Synthesis, characterization and evaluation of experimental dental composite resin modified by grapefruit seed extract-mediated TiO₂ nanoparticles: green approach.

Dental composite resins often face challenges related to secondary caries, polymerization shrinkage and fracture failure. This study aimed to synthesize an experimental composite resin modified with grapefruit seed extract-mediated titanium dioxide nanoparticles (GSE-TiO₂NPs) and evaluate its antibacterial activity and mechanical and physical properties. Green synthesis of TiO₂ nanoparticles was conducted utilizing GSE.
