Abstract
Aim: The aim of the study was to compare the antimicrobial activity of Amla, Neem incorporated with silver nanoparticles dental varnish with that of commercially available dental varnish
Objectives: The two main objectives of the study are to prepare silver nanoparticle based dental varnish and to evaluate the antimicrobial efficacy
Materials And Methods: Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis and Candida albicans were grown in Mueller–Hinton agar media separately; three different concentrations of silver nanoparticle varnish ((25μl, 50μl and 100μl) were prepared and applied on the Mueller–Hinton plates. Conventional dental varnish was included as the control sample. The plates were further incubated anaerobically for 24 h at 37°C in the incubator. The antimicrobial effect of different varnishes was assessed by measuring the diameter of inhibition zones in millimetres by a ruler. Statistical analysis was performed using the descriptive data to find the mean and standard deviation for the data.
Results: The silver nanoparticle varnish showed antimicrobial effect against all test microbes, where the mean value of inhibition zone size (mm) was increased by increasing the concentration.
Conclusion: The herbal based varnish added with silver nanoparticles seems to be more effective against S. Mutans, C. Albicans, E. Faecalis, S. Aureus. Silver nanoparticle dental varnish had better antibacterial efficacy as compared to conventional dental varnish against all four microorganisms.
