Antibacterial properties of silicon nanoparticles

Abstract: The antibacterial properties of silicon nanoparticles with Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria were demonstrated. The nanoparticles were prepared with laser ablation in various liquids (distilled water, isopropyl alcohol) using a nanosecond laser. Optical and scanning electron microscopy methods were used for the sample characterization. The presence of singlet oxygen and other reactive oxygen species on the surface of the silicon nanoparticles, leading to oxidative damage to bacterial membranes and furth… Show more

“…Dental caries is an irreversible disease of the oral cavity, which is multifactorial in nature but mostly driven by a high sugar diet and it manifests as phasic demineralization and remineralization of the hard tissues [1]. It affects people of all ages, with the prevalence rate being 50%, 52.5%, 61.4%, 79.2%, and 84.7% in 5,12,15,[35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44], and 65-74 year old, respectively according to the National Oral Health Survey report 2002-2003 which makes it a potentially high morbidity related diseases and that's why it has been an important area of focus for dental professionals [2]. Among the main hypothesis for the etiology of dental caries, the specific plaque hypothesis states certain bacterial strains are mainly responsible for dental caries, where bacteria like S. sanguinis were associated with health whereas Lactobacillus, S.mutans, S.salivarius were associated with caries [3].…”

“…Nanostructured surfaces of different materials exhibit unexpected and unprecedented bactericidal effects regarding pathogenic bacteria, which is usually related either to photochemical reaction of gaseous oxygen with composing nanocrystallites, yielding in reactive oxygen species and singlet oxygen [1][2][3][4][5], or to mechanical reaction of bacterial membranes to sharp surface nanoroughness [6][7][8]. Specifically, in the case of Si a broad variety of its nanomorph-nanospike [6], nanosheets [7] and nanoparticles (NPs) [9] were demonstrated to be bactericidal.…”
