Background And Objectives: Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) is one of the main retrograde filling materials that is used today as a root end filling material and perforation repair material. This study was conducted with the aim of investigating the antibacterial and antifungal properties of four types of bio-ceramic materials, AGM MTA, Ortho MTA, Pro root MTA and Cem cement for oral and dental health.
Methods: In this study, the antibacterial activity of four types of bio-ceramic materials against two bacterial strains of Enterococcus faecalis (ATTC 29212), Escherichia coli (ATTC 35318) and antifungal activity against Candida albicans (ATTC 10231) were investigated using the well diffusion method.
Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on using nonpathogenic, extremophile bacteria, specifically Halomonas elongata and Salinicoccus iranensis, to safely synthesize selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs).
- Optimization for SeNP biosynthesis was achieved under specific conditions, yielding spherical nanoparticles sized between 30-100 nm, confirmed through various analytical techniques like UV-Vis and TEM.
- The research concludes that these halophilic bacteria are ideal for nanoparticle production due to their resilience and the biological method’s advantages of effectiveness, flexibility, and low cost.
