1) The document discusses a study on incorporating visible light activated titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles into denture base resin to improve oral health.
2) In vitro tests found that denture base resin containing 3-5% TiO2 nanoparticles exposed to visible light significantly reduced colony forming units of common oral pathogens over time.
3) Preliminary in vivo tests also saw reduced bacterial plaque buildup on dentures containing TiO2 after 6 months of use, suggesting the nanoparticles maintain antimicrobial activity long-term.
