Summary of nano-antibacterial coating in the dental field.
| Category | Morphology | Synthesis | Antibacterial | Biocompatibility | Application | Ref |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| nano-Ag-coated Ti | the small particles coverage on the surface | microwave-assisted synthesis | S. aureus: significant suppressed | human gingival fibroblasts: no significant difference | implant | [112] |
| Polym P-n active nanoparticles & metal ions | spherical and a smooth surface | a polymerization/precipitation process |
S. oralis, A. naeslundii, V. parvula, F.nucleatum, P. gingivalis, A. actinomycetemcomitans biofilms: significantly lower, Ag: antibacterial: highest; Zn: inhibited bacteria coaggregation, markedly |
– | – | [113] |
| nano-Ag coated PEEK | Ag: round and compact | a magnetron sputtering apparatus | S. mutans, S. aureus: greater than 99% | mouse fibroblast cell: good relative growth rate | implant | [114] |
| nano-Ag | uniform-grain-size; distributed on the surface | a hydrothermal method | S. aureus: not statistically reduced | osteogenic precursor cells: strong cytotoxicity | implant | [115] |
| BBF-loaded poly(L-lactic acid) nanospheres | nanospheres | the oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion solvent-evaporation method | P. gingivalis, A. actinomycetemcomitans: antibacterial rate: approximately 92% | – | implant | [116] |
