Assessment of the Antibacterial Effects of Bismuth Nanoparticles against <i>Enterococcus faecalis</i>

Abstract

The experimental data suggest that bismuth nanoparticles could be an interesting alternative to combat <i>E. faecalis</i>, which, in view of the advantages mentioned for bismuth nanoparticle like inhibiting <i>Streptococcus mutans</i> biofilm formation and higher antibacterial activity compared to chlorhexidine, can be suggested to be used in different fields of dentistry.
