Innovative Green Nanoparticles Enhance Dental Alginate Performance

Posted: December 16, 2024
The study evaluated the performance of environmentally friendly dental alginates with antimicrobial properties. Alginates modified with chlorhexidine, clove extract, and ginger extract showed promising results in detail reproduction, tear strength, and surface quality of gypsum models. All modified groups met ISO standards, with ZO + AgNPs showing superior tear strength and surface roughness. These green-synthesized silver nanoparticles offer effective disinfection without compromising performance, presenting a safe and cost-effective alternative for dental impressions.
