Clinical Implication:

Nanometals in implants show excellent physical properties like corrosion resistance, wear resistance, adhesion strength, lower porosity along with increased osteoblast adhesion which ultimately increases the longevity of dental implants.

7.2.7 Nanoparticles in Tissue Conditioner

Tissue conditioner used to enhance the recovery of denture bearing tissues from trauma, damage, or residual ridge resorption are usually caused by ill-fitting dentures. These materials are degenerated with time and are susceptible to colonization by microorganisms [39]. Tissue conditioners could be kept clean by mechanical and chemical methods, but these methods cause damage to tissue conditioners [40]. Silver has been well known for its antimicrobial characteristics. So to overcome this problem, silver nanoparticles are added in tissue conditioner , and because of their smaller size, they provide large surface area [41].

Nam [42] conducted the study and modified tissue conditioner combined with silver nanoparticles that displayed antimicrobial properties against Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus mutans at 0.1% and C. albicans at 0.5% after a 24 h and 72 h incubation periods.
