Nanoparticle-encapsulated chlorhexidine against oral bacterial biofilms.
Chlorhexidine (CHX) is a widely used antimicrobial agent in dentistry. Herein, we report the synthesis of a novel mesoporous silica nanoparticle-encapsulated pure CHX (Nano-CHX), and its mechanical profile and antimicrobial properties against oral biofilms.The release of CHX from the Nano-CHX was ch...
