Antimicrobial Effect of Copper Oxide Nanoparticles on Some Oral Bacteria and Candida Species

Conclusions:With respect to the potential bactericidal activity of CuO NPs on various  cariogenic bacteria examined in this study, these NPs could be introduce as a candidate control agent for preventing dental caries or dental infections. In our study, on the other hand, Nano copper oxide had a weak effect on the candida species.Key words:  Nanoparticle,Oral Streptococcus, Lactobacillus, Yeast, Dental Caries
