In healthcare facilities, infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) from textile materials are a cause for concern, and nanomaterials one of the solutions; however, their impact on safety biocompatibility with human body must not be neglected. This study aimed to develop novel multilayer coating poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) immobilized ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) make efficient antibacterial biocompatible cotton, polyester, nylon textiles. For this purpose, coated...
Full and partial restorations in dentistry must replicate the characteristics of patient's natural teeth. Materials have good mechanical properties be non-toxic biocompatible. Microbes, which can form biofilms, are constantly contact with restorations. In this study, we investigate how well Candida albicans adheres to a polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) resin base gold (Au) nanoparticles. We synthesized Au nanoparticles characterized them. The average size embedded PMMA was 11 nm. color...
Prosthetic liners are mainly used as an interface between residual limbs and prosthetic sockets to minimize physical biological damage soft tissue. However, the closed moist conditions within amputee's skin provide a suitable environment for bacterial growth cause infections. This study aimed coat comprehensive variant material with copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) compare their surface analysis antibacterial properties. These materials were covered CuO NPs solution at concentration of 70 μg mL
Loss of implant function is a common complication in orthopaedic and dental surgery. Among the primary causes failure are peri-implant infections which often result removal. This study demonstrates development new antimicrobial titanium coating with ZnO nanoparticles various sizes morphologies immobilised poly(allylamine hydrochloride) alginate multilayers, combined epitaxially grown vaterite crystals. The coated samples were characterised methods (FTIR, XRD, SEM) surface properties...
Oral health represents a significant factor in general and life quality. A number of people are affected by tooth loss during their lifetimes, especially the older population. Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) resins preferred option for replacing missing teeth due to material stability, easy handling, low toxicity, most importantly biocompatibility with human tissue. Even though PMMA is preferable denture preparation, it susceptible microbial colonization, which can induce development oral...
Microbial infections are causing numerous deaths and can be found on various surfaces such as fabrics used in healthcare facilities wound dressings or protective clothing operating sterile rooms. The study aimed to determine the difference antibacterial activity of sheet, sphere, rod-like ZnO NPs embedded poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) multilayers cotton, nylon, polyester with Staphylococcus aureus. Additionally, adhesion recombinant human SARS-CoV-2 RBD S-protein coated materials...
The prevalence of bacterial infections presents a significant challenge in the medical field, demanding effective strategies to impede adhesion and growth on various surfaces. conducted study investigates efficacy polyelectrolyte multilayers─comprising poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) alginate (ALG)─embedded with zinc oxide (ZnO) copper (CuO) nanoparticles (NPs) inhibit stainless-steel Surface characterization involved zeta potential, contact angle, roughness assessments. effect NP...
Restorations in dentistry must reproduce the aspect of patient’s natural teeth and require non-toxicity, biocompatibility, good mechanical properties order to last longer. are permanently contact with microbes that can adhere form biofilms. The purpose this study was determine adhesion extent Streptococcus mutans polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) resin base containing TiO2 nanoparticles. To understand on modified resin-based surfaces, following surface were measured: roughness, angle, zeta...
Enamel demineralization, known as dental caries, is instigated by the bacterium Streptococcus mutans, which generates acid during carbohydrate metabolism. Among carbohydrates, sucrose most cariogenic and capable of biofilm formation. This study aimed to explore comprehend mutans’ adherence two prevalent material surfaces, i.e., a cobalt–chromium (Co-Cr) alloy resin-based composite, under influence various concentrations. To understand bacterial adhesion, surfaces were characterized using...
