A study was performed to improve dental materials by adding gold nanoparticles to a conventional PMMA resin used for dentures, giving this material an antimicrobial property. The addition of gold nanoparticles showed a significant antibiofilm effect against the microbial biofilm formation. This property may prevent or decrease the occurrence of the most frequent complications when …

Lateral flow immunoassays (LFIAs) are rapid diagnostic tests that can detect the presence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus quickly, with the aid of nanoparticles and specific proteins. The gold nanoparticles produced with our technology exhibited the stability and target concentration necessary for use as markers in LFIA rapid diagnostic tests. A prototype LFIA test strip with …

The published book, authored by our development team, focuses on recent advances in dental gold alloys and gold nanoparticles for biomedical applications. Dental gold alloys combine several highly desirable mechanical properties, such as high strength, ductility, and elasticity, with an extremely robust chemical stability in the mouth. Moreover, astonishing progress has been made in the …
