Titanium-tantalum alloy surface modification by hydroxyapatite layer on TiO2 nanotubes: Effect on microbial activity
(2021-01-01)
One of the major health security challenges of the 21st century is the occurrence of microbial infections and bacterial complications that could affect 10 million people by 2050. On the biomaterial field, implant metallic ...
Copper surfaces are associated with significantly lower concentrations of bacteria on selected surfaces within a pediatric intensive care unit
(Elsevier, 2016)
Background: Health careeassociated infections result in significant patient morbidity and mortality.
Although cleaning can remove pathogens present on hospital surfaces, those surfaces may be inadequately
cleaned or ...
Chitosan enhances the antimicrobial photodynamic inactivation mediated by Photoditazine® against Streptococcus mutans
(2020-12-01)
Chitosan (CS), a biopolymer with intrinsic antimicrobial activity, can increase antimicrobial photodynamic inactivation (aPDI). The aim of this study was to evaluate the capacity of CS to potentiate the efficacy of ...
Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy in the treatment of periodontal diseases
(2015-02-20)
The colonization of the tooth surface and epithelial cells in the interior of the gingival sulcus or periodontal pocket by bacterial biofilms is a complex process that occurs even following adequate oral hygiene. The ...
Silver and phosphate nanoparticles: Antimicrobial approach and caries prevention application
(2019-01-01)
This chapter is focused on silver colloidal nanoparticles as antimicrobial and organic nanoparticles, which have been tested for the enamel remineralization process and prevention of microbial adhesion on dental surface. ...
Chitin nanowhiskers as alternative antimicrobial controlled release carriers
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015-01)
Antimicrobial finishings protect users from pathogenic and odor-generating microorganisms, which are of medical and hygiene concerns. Controlled release is a useful approach to obtain antimicrobial finishings in several ...
