Popis: Silver and zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles have recently become common to coat ligatures in order to take advantage of positive properties of nanoparticles, although there are concerns about their cytotoxicity. This study tended to compare subcutaneous inflammatory response induced by elastomeric orthodontic ligatures coated with silver and ZnO nanoparticles with a control group in rats.In thisThere was a significant difference in terms of degrees of inflammation in the groups coated with ZnO nanoparticles (There was a significant more inflammation in the groups receiving ZnO and silver nanoparticles compared to the control group in 15- and 30-day samples. Silver nanoparticles are probably safer than zinc nanoparticles for tissue and a better material to choose for antibacterial effects.
