The continuous emergence of multidrug-resistant pathogens evoked the development of
innovative approaches targeting virulence factors unique to their pathogenic cascade …

The influence of metal and metal oxide nanomaterials on various fields since their discovery
has been remarkable. They have unique properties, and therefore, have been employed in …

A significant problem related to the functioning of resin-based composites for dental fillings
is secondary or recurrent caries, which is the reason for the need for repeated treatment. The …

In recent years, graphene and its derivatives, owing to their phenomenal surface, and
mechanical, electrical, and chemical properties, have emerged as advantageous materials …

Dental caries, particularly secondary caries, which is the main contributor to dental repair
failure, has been the subject of extensive research due to its biofilm-mediated, sugar-driven …

Chemical signal molecules are used by bacteria to interact with one another. Small hormone-
like molecules known as autoinducers are produced, released, detected, and responded to …

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have durable and remarkable antimicrobial effects on
pathogenic microorganisms, such as bacteria and fungi, in dental plaques. As such, they are …

Only a few studies have so far focused on the addition of silver to SS316L alloys by
conventional sintering methods. Unfortunately, the metallurgical process of silver-containing …
