This study explores an eco-friendly method for synthesizing Cobalt oxide nanoparticles (CoONPs) using extracted carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) as a reducing and stabilizing agent. The CoONPs, characterized via various analyses, demonstrated a crystalline structure with sizes ranging from 10.9 to 28.

In this paper, MgO@AgO/AgO nanoparticles were greenly synthesized, the current idea is to replace the harmful chemical technique with an ecofriendly synthesis of metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs) utilizing biogenic sources. The current investigation was conducted to create silver oxide NPs decorated by MgO NPs (namely, MgO@AgO/AgO nanocom-posite) using the leaves extract of Purslane () as the reducing and capping agent. The nanopowder was investigated by means of X-ray diffraction, scanning electron mi-croscope, BET surface area, Fourier transform infrared, and UV-vis spectrophotom-eter studies.

Article Synopsis
  • Antibacterial restorative materials are crucial for high-risk patients, particularly the elderly and those with diabetes, to combat caries-causing bacteria.
  • This study introduced Magnesium-doped Zinc oxide (Mg-doped ZnO) nanoparticles to enhance the antibacterial properties of resin composites, demonstrating significant effectiveness against bacteria like Streptococcus mutans and Enterococcus faecalis.
  • The optimal concentration of 1% Mg-doped ZnO not only improved antibacterial activity but also maintained the material's compressive strength and biocompatibility, while preventing secondary caries in diabetic models.

Nickel stannate nanocomposites could be useful for removing organic and toxic water pollutants, such as methyl orange (MO). The synthesis of a nickel oxide-tin oxide nanocomposite (NiO-SnO NC) via a facile and economically viable approach using a leaf extract from for the photocatalytic degradation of MO. The phase composition, crystallinity, and purity were examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD).

Resin composites have been widely used in dental restoration. However, polymerization shrinkage and resultant bacterial microleakage are major limitations that may lead to secondary caries. To overcome this, a new type of antibacterial resin composite containing ciprofloxacin-loaded silver nanoparticles (CIP-AgNPs) were synthesized.

Biofilm formation in the resin-composite interface is a major challenge for resin-based dental composites. Using doped z nanoparticles (NPs) to enhance the antibacterial properties of resin composites can be an effective approach to prevent this. The present study focused on the effectiveness of Selenium-doped ZnO (Se/ZnO) NPs as an antibacterial nanofiller in resin composites and their impact on their mechanical properties.
