Abstract

The field of endodontic irrigation has seen nanoparticle innovations which offer improved disinfection together with better clinical treatment results. Nanoparticles composed of gold and chitosan show significant antibacterial properties as well as anti-inflammatory characteristics and biocompatibility potential. The photo thermal properties and catalytic properties are limited to gold nanoparticles whereas the natural antimicrobial capabilities and adhesive properties are limited to chitosan nanoparticles. Nanoparticles play an essential role in endodontic irrigation. However, more clinical work needs to be done to create standardized procedures using these new agents.
