  • Multi-functional micro and nanoparticles for use in root canal therapies
    Patent number: 11737955
    Abstract: Chitosan nanoparticles are provided for use in the in vivo treatment of connective tissues in root canal therapies. The nanoparticles are optionally linked with one or more photoactivatable compounds for providing antibacterial/antibiofilm properties, neutralizing bacterial byproducts and/or chemical/photodynamic crosslinking to achieve enhanced mechanical properties, chemical stability in connective tissues and/or to improve surface/interfacial integrity between filling material and connective tissue.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 16, 2018
    Date of Patent: August 29, 2023
    Inventors: Anil Kishen, Annie Shrestha
  • MULTI-FUNCTIONAL MICRO AND NANOPARTICLES FOR USE IN ROOT CANAL THERAPIES
