Abstract
The most common intracanal medication is calcium hydroxide. Its efficacy can be affected by a number of factors, including pH, serum proteins, collagen, and dentin. It's also ineffective against E. faecalis and fungus, lacks an anti-inflammatory component, and has mixed reviews when it comes to pain relief. Natural alternatives to synthetic intracanal medication are being researched at the moment. We evaluated the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity of green synthesized silver nanoparticle based intracanal medicaments. Silver nanoparticles integrated into calcium hydroxide and graphene oxide nanoparticles were the experimental groups and Calcium hydroxide served as the control. Antioxidant activity was determined using the DPPH and Nitric oxide assays, while anti-inflammatory activity was determined using the protein denaturation and Xanthine Oxidase Inhibition assays. Both experimental groups had higher antioxidant activity than the control group based on DPPH and Nitric oxide assays. Calcium hydroxide combined with silver nanoparticles demonstrated improved anti-inflammatory efficacy in a protein denaturation and Xanthine oxidase inhibition assay. Within the constraints of an in vitro study, it can be concluded that intracanal medicaments containing silver nanoparticles can be employed efficiently during root canal preparation. In comparison to standard calcium hydroxide-based intracanal medicaments, it has effective antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.
