Mechanism of Action of Green-Synthesized Silver Nanoparticle-Incorporated Dental Varnish Against Candida albicans
Green-synthesized AgNPs, when incorporated into dental varnish, exhibit potent antifungal activity against <i>C. albicans</i>. The study demonstrates that this approach can effectively disrupt fungal cells, suggesting its potential use in preventing and treating oral fungal infections. Future research should explore the in vivo efficacy, safety, and long-term stability of AgNPs in dental varnish formulations.
