Innovative Ferumoxytol Nanozymes Combat Chronic Biofilm Infections in Apical Periodontitis

Posted: November 26, 2024
Ferumoxytol nanozymes demonstrate promising efficacy in targeting chronic biofilm infections in apical periodontitis by catalytically activating hydrogen peroxide. Clinical studies reveal comparable antibiofilm activity to sodium hypochlorite without adverse effects. The nanozymes efficiently bind to bacterial pathogens and promote growth of stem cells of apical papilla, enhancing regenerative antimicrobial therapy. This innovative approach presents a dual benefit of pathogen eradication and stem cell stimulation for effective treatment of endodontic infections.
