Oral candidiasis (OC) is a fungal infection caused by an opportunistic fungi , which is found in the normal flora of healthy people. In this study, we examined the anti- effect of green synthesized silver nanoparticles using leaf extract of (EG-AgNPs) against in vitro and in vivo. EG-AgNPs were synthesized for the first time using extract and characterized by imaging (transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-VIS spectroscopy, zeta potential, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Energy dispersive x-ray analysis (EDX), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR).
