Design
-
Clinical trial with a sample size of 6 patients in 7 parallel groups, without blindness
-
Settings and conduct
-
This study will be performed among patients referring to Tabriz Dental School. Patients will be randomly divided into two groups. In the first group, patients will receive conventional tissue conditioners (control group) and in the second to seventh groups, patients will receive tissue conditioners containing silver, zinc oxide and chitosans nanoparticles with a weight percentage of 0.675 and 1.25 and 2.5, and 5 and 10 And 20, respectively. Microbial culture (Candida albicans, Enterococcus faecalis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Streptococcus mutans) will be done before and after the intervention and will be compared.
