Aim: To study cynodon dactylon mediated synthesis of TiO2 nanoparticles and it’s oral pathogen control.
Background: Nanoparticles are of immense scientific interest as they are, in effect, a connection between bulk materials and atomic or molecular structures. In the medical profession in specific, nanoparticles are being used in diagnostic and therapy related tools to better reason, determine, and deal with human diseases. Titanium dioxide nanoparticles, are also known as ultrafine titanium dioxide or nanocrystalline titanium dioxide or microcrystalline titanium dioxide, and they are particles of titanium dioxide (TiO2) with their diameters being less than 100 nm.
Material and methods: The cynodon dactylon plant was taken and was ground into powder, it was then added to 100ml of water and mixed well, boiled and filtered. To the obtained filter titanium oxide particles were added and it was then boiled for 8-10 minutes. After proper boiling for the mentioned time it was then put in the shaker. The synthesized cynodon dactylon mediated titanium oxide nanoparticles were made to undergo UV Vis spectroscopy and the preliminary confirmation was done. Zone of inhibition was observed in the plate containing S. aureus showing slight susceptibility but not significantly seen in the other bacterium containing plates of Pseudomonas, streptococcus mutans, Enterococcus faecalis showing resistance. Zone of inhibition was measured in the plate each containing concentration of cynodon dactylon TiO2 NPs.
Results and Conclusion: The Cynodon dactylon mediated with titanium dioxide nanoparticles have shown slight antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, hence, proving to be able to cure the disease upon usage of the right concentration.
