Antibacterial effect of bioactive glass nanoparticles prepared via sol gel method

Abstract

Background: Infection constitutes the most important complication caused by biomaterials. Bioactive glasses have properties such as osteoconductivity and good restorability, some of which have revealed antibacterial effects. Therefore, these biomaterials are appropriate candidates for orthopedic and dental applications. The present study was conducted to analyze the antibacterial effect of bioactive glass nanoparticles.
