In the present study, we investigated commercial dental floss coated with chitosan or chitosan + mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticles (MBGNs) in order to determine the antimicrobial and mechanical properties of the newly fabricated flosses. Whereas these coatings showed notable ability to inhibit growth of both Gram (+) and Gram (-) bacteria after 24 h, the impact was negligible at 3 h. Furthermore, the tensile strength of the floss was improved by the addition of these layers, making it more durable and effective for cleaning between teeth. We therefore propose enhanced investigations of these composites since they demonstrate enormous potential in promoting oral health.
在本研究中，我们研究了涂有壳聚糖或壳聚糖+介孔生物活性玻璃纳米颗粒（MBGNs）的商业牙线，以确定新制造的牙线的抗菌和机械性能。虽然这些涂层在 24 小时后显示出显著抑制革兰氏阳性和革兰氏阴性细菌生长的能力，但在 3 小时时影响可以忽略不计。此外，通过添加这些层可以提高牙线的拉伸强度，使其在清洁牙齿之间更耐用和有效。因此，我们建议对这些复合材料进行进一步研究，因为它们在促进口腔健康方面具有巨大的潜力。
