NANOPARTICLE-CONTAINING IRRIGATION SOLUTION FOR ENDODONTICS

摘要

The invention proposes a set of a first and a second preparation which are intended to be mixed before or during an endodontic treatment to form an endodontic irrigation solution. The first preparation comprises an oxidising agent. The second preparation comprises antibacterial nanoparticles treated to slow their oxidation by the oxidising agent. The antibacterial nanoparticles are, for example, encapsulated in shells in a hybrid core-shell structure. In one variation, the antibacterial nanoparticles are made from an alloy of at least two elements, one of the elements being more resistant to oxidation than the other.
