Antimicrobial properties of dental cements modified with zein-coated magnesium oxide nanoparticles
Highlights •Antimicrobial nanoparticles (NPs) are widely used in dental materials to improve their biological properties. •Magnesium Oxide (MgO) NPs are novel antimicrobial agents. •Incorporation of MgO NPs in dental cements aids in minimizing bacterial colonization at the restoration margin. •Zein polymer facilitates the dispersion of MgO NPs and avoid its agglomeration. •Zein polymer effectively enhances the […]
