Influence of magnesium oxide nanoparticles on in vitro mechanical and antibacterial performance of self-curing dental polymethyl-methacrylate.
Self-curing polymethyl methacrylate is widely used for provisional restorations, retainers and denture repairs, but its lack of antibacterial activity favors bacterial colonization. Magnesium oxide nanoparticles exhibit broad antibacterial effects through the generation of reactive oxygen species. This study evaluated...
