Positively charged imidazolium‐based ionic liquid‐protected silver nanoparticles: a promising disinfectant in root canal treatment

Abstract

Ag NP surface charge was important in bactericidal efficacy against E. faecalis. The positively charged imidazolium-based ionic liquid-protected Ag NPs showed promising antibacterial results against E. faecalis and exhibited a high level of cytocompatibility to L929 cells.
