Abstract

Bacterial infections continue to be one of the main challenges in dentistry today, contributing significantly to periodontal diseases, caries, and restorative treatment failures. Microbial resistance and the formation of biofilms have limited the effectiveness of conventional treatments, which has prompted the search for innovative strategies. Among these, nanomaterials with antibacterial properties have emerged as a promising solution1.
