Treatment and Prevention of Oral Biofilms by Clove _Gold Nanoparticles (Comparative Study).

Abstract

The goal of the study was to find out the antibiofilm activity of biosynthesizing gold nanoparticles derived from clove buds extracts against certain oral bacteria, to compare between preventive and treatment protocols.  The antibiofilm activity was tested using the Microtiter plate method against oral bacteria (Enterococcus faecalis, Streptococcus mutans and lactobacillus spp). This study has showed a good antibiofilm^. effect on oral bacteria.
