Comparative Evaluation of Surface Microhardness and Antibacterial Efficacy of Phosphorylated Chitosan, Silver Diamine Fluoride, and Sodium Fluoride Varnish: An In-Vitro Study
Background: Dental caries involves enamel mineral loss and cariogenic bacterial activity. Materials with both remineralizing and antibacterial properties may improve preventive care.Aim: To compare phosphorylated chitosan (PCh), silver diamine fluoride (SDF), and sodium fluoride (NaF) varnish for enamel surface microha...
