“…CPC has been used as a powerful antimicrobial agent and has been frequently employed in various over-the-counter products, including buccal tablets [ 26 ], sanitizer [ 27 ], disinfecting liquids [ 28 ], cleaning agents for eatables [ 29 ], nasal sprays [ 30 ], mouthwashes [ 31 ], and toothpastes [ 32 ]. Even though there are not much data present in the literature regarding the incorporation of CPC into RBDCs, many other studies have confirmed its antimicrobial effect in different dental materials, for instance varnishes [ 33 ], adhesives [ 34 , 35 ], orthodontic primers [ 36 ], root canal sealers [ 37 ], acrylic resin [ 38 ], and cements [ 39 ]. In 2019, Kenya Matsuo et al [ 34 ] demonstrated, with the help of optical density and SEM, that CPC montmorillonite adhesives significantly inhibited the growth of Streptococcus mutans biofilms.…”
