Recurrent caries was partly ascribed to lack of antibacterial properties in composite resin. Silver and zinc nanoparticles are considered to be broad-spectrum antibacterial agents. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the antibacterial properties of composite resins containing 1% silver and zinc-oxide nanoparticles on
Ninety discoid tablets containing 0%, 1% nano-silver and 1% nano zinc-oxide particles were prepared from flowable composite resin (
Composites containing nano zinc-oxide particles or silver nanoparticles exhibited higher antibacterial activity against
Composite resins containing silver or zinc-oxide nanoparticles exhibited antibacterial activity against
