Myrrh mixed with silver nanoparticles demonstrates superior antimicrobial activity against compared to myrrh and silver nanoparticles alone.

Introduction: Gingivitis is an oral condition characterized by inflammation and bleeding of the gingiva (gums), largely caused by . Oral hygiene options for controlling include mouthwash containing (myrrh), which has been shown to be effective against the microbe. Silver nanoparticles (SN) have been studied for their antibacterial effect in different oral health applications, including mouthwash.

Antibacterial and Cytotoxic Potential of Biosynthesized Silver Nanoparticles by Some Plant Extracts.

The provision of nanoparticles using biogenic material as a part of green chemistry is an attractive nanotechnology. The current research aimed to test the antimicrobial and cytotoxic efficacy of silver nanoparticles synthesized by extracts of , , and as reductant and stabilizing agents in silver nanoparticle formation. Synthesized nanoparticles were evaluated for their antimicrobial activity against (Gram-positive) and and (Gram-negative) using an agar well diffusion assay.
