Antimicrobial Activity Of Ginger And Rosemary Mediated With Tio2 Using Dental Varnish

Abstract

Aim:To investigate the antimicrobial activity of ginger and rosemary mediated  with TiO₂ using dental varnish.

Introduction: Pharmaceutical corporations are substantially investing in the development of natural medicines derived from plants as a result of the rise in the usage of traditional medicinal herbs in recent years. There are numerous potential actions and fields for nanoparticles. Titanium nanoparticles (TiO₂) are produced in the current work using a green technique and floral extract.

Materials and method: Mueller Hinton Agar was utilized for this activity to determine the zone of inhibition. Mueller hinton agar was prepared and sterilized for 15 minutes at 121^oC. Media poured into the sterilized plates and let it stable for solidification. The wells were cut using a 9mm sterile polystyrene tip and the test organisms were swabbed. The nanoparticles with different concentrations (25µL, 50 µL ,100 µL )were loaded and in the fourth well standard antibiotic amoxicillin was loaded

Result: At 25μl, 50μl and 100μl, the antimicrobial activity against lactobacillus was found to be significant when compared to the standard. At 50μl and 100μl, the antimicrobial activity against E. faecalis was found to be significant when compared to the standard. At 25μl and 100μl, the antimicrobial activity against S. aureus was found to be significant when compared to the standard.

Conclusion:The present study supports the antimicrobial activity of the ginger and rosemary with nanoparticle titanium oxide against S. mutans, E. faecalis and S. aureus, C. albicans, Lactobacillus along with dental varnish.
