Nanoparticles have been suggested as useful antibacterial and anti-plaque solutions for patients with dental caries. The purpose of this study was to compare the antimicrobial and antiplaque effects of silver nanoparticles synthesized by using <em>Viola serpens</em> plant. Furthermore, oral cavities are inhabited by both commensal and pathogenic bacterial species. In some conditions bacteria belonging to the indigenous or resident oral microorganisms can lead to infectious dental diseases. The total 40 samples were collected analyzed for the prevalence of <em> Streptococcus mutans</em> (<em>S. mutans</em>) in dental plaque. Total recovered isolates were 32 out of which 18 <em>S. mutans</em> were isolated, and the prevalence of recovered isolates was found to be 45%. In the present investigation, the evaluation of efficacy of biologically synthesized silver nanoparticles against recovered isolates was performed using agar well diffusion method and were found to be moderately effective against the three strains of <em>S. mutans</em> in comparison to reference drug. |
