Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how biogenic silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) made through green synthesis affect the bond strength of three universal adhesives and their ability to combat the bacteria Streptococcus mutans.
- Three universal adhesives were used, and Ag NPs were added at a concentration of 0.05%. Various tests, including bond strength measurements and antibacterial tests, were conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of these nanoparticles.
- Results showed that all adhesive groups containing Ag NPs exhibited significantly greater antibacterial properties than those without, suggesting the potential benefits of incorporating Ag NPs in dental adhesives.
