Abstract
Aim: To synthesize silver nanoparticles using Andrographis paniculata and Phyllanthus niruri formation and its oral pathogen control.
Introduction: Silver nanoparticles are recognized more and more these days because of its wide range of application in all fields of study. Silver nanoparticles are synthesized using the plants Andrographis paniculata and Phyllanthus niruri which were used for traditional medicine in olden days. In this study we are synthesizing silver nanoparticles using green synthesis and finding its effects against oral pathogens.
Materials and Methods: 1. Collection of Andrographis paniculata and Phyllanthus niruri.
- Synthesis of silver nanoparticles using an herbal formulation using Andrographis paniculata and Phyllanthus niruri.
- To conclude the oral pathogen growth in in vitro with agar well method of pathogen control test with gram positive round shaped bacterium Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus mutans, Pseudomonas species and Enterococcus species.
Results: The silver nanoparticles can be synthesized using herbal formulation using Andrographis paniculata and Phyllanthus niruri. They had a useful action against oral pathogens with less side effects.
Conclusion: The silver nanoparticles were synthesized using herbal formulation of Andrographis paniculata and Phyllanthus niruri. The silver nanoparticles had activity against oral pathogens like Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus mutans, Pseudomonas species and Enterococcus species and can be helpful in the health care centre to use against various diseases with least side effects.
