Antibacterial Effect of Visible Light Reactive TiO<SUB>2</SUB>/Ag Nanocomposite Thin Film on the Orthodontic Appliances

Abstract: This study evaluated the antibacterial effect of a visible light reactive TiO2/Ag nanocomposite thin film on dental orthodontic wire (STS 304 wire). The growth of S. mutans and A. actinomycetemcomitans was suppressed on the specimens coated with TiO2/Ag compared to the uncoated specimens. The antibacterial effect of the TiO2/Ag nanocomposite thin film was improved under visible light irradiation.

“…They have become a high‐demand material for consumer products (Edwards‐Jones, ). AgNPs are widely used in medicine and health, food processing and other fields because of its excellent antibacterial properties, large specific surface area, small size, strong surface activity, strong catalytic performances and other characteristics (Vance et al, ; Yun et al, ). The widespread application of nanosilver in commodities has greatly increased the chance of human exposure to AgNPs, and its potential toxicity has gradually attracted widespread attention.…”

“…As a substitute for metal nanoparticles, metal oxide nanoparticles have also been widely used as an antimicrobial agent. Titanium dioxide is one of the most commonly used non-silver nanoparticles [64][65][66][67] . Its antibacterial action is photo dependent, consequently generates free radicals during photocatalytic reactions.…”

“…Ophthalmologic polymers with antibacterial properties containing nanoparticles such as Ag, Au and Pt are also being actively studied. [7][8][9][10] In addition, we recently reported onnanomaterial-containing polymers that can block UV since nanomaterials such as ZnO and SiNc [silicon 2,3-naphthalocyanine bis(trihexylsilyloxide)] can absorb UV and infrared light. 11 Polymers in contact lenses are used for various purposes depending on the type and usage of the contact lens, but the materials must satisfy the basic optical requirements, * Author to whom correspondence should be addressed.…”
