Antibiofilm activity of zinc doped Bioactive glass against periodontal pathogens

What is it about?

Bioactive glasses are thought to be promising regenerative materials in the field of periodontology and implant dentistry. We have shown that zinc doped bioactive glass inhibit the periodontal pathogens, which are one the primary causes for the failure and infection of bone grafts used in oral implantology.

Why is it important?

Our findings showed that zinc doped bioactive glass significantly inhibit the growth of periodontal pathogens such as porphyromonas gingivalis, Prevotella intermedia and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans.
