Abstract

Dental biofilms harbor harmful microorganisms that causes dental caries and periodontal diseases. Chitosan is a naturally occurring polysaccharide with antimicrobial properties against a wide spectrum of bacteria and fungus. Chitosan nanoparticles possess unique physicochemical characteristics, when utilized properly can be used to prevent the formation or reduction of plaque bio mass by acting against the microbes present in the plaque and disruption of mature biofilm
