Nanogold in PMMA Denture Bases: Inhibiting Microbial Activity for Enhanced Oral Health

Posted: January 6, 2025
This study investigated the effect of incorporating nanogold particles into polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) denture bases on microbial activity in implant-retained mandibular overdentures. The research showed that dentures with nanogold-treated bases exhibited significantly lower levels of Candida albicans, Escherichia coli, and Streptococcus mutans compared to conventional acrylic bases. The findings suggest that nanogold incorporation in PMMA denture bases can effectively inhibit microbial growth and colonization, highlighting a potential innovation in improving oral health in implant-retained overdentures.
