Fig. 2From: Antibacterial effect and impact on caries activity of nanosilver fluoride and silver diamine fluoride in dentin caries of primary teeth: a randomized controlled clinical trialThe biological behavior of the PEGylated AgNPs. A The dose dependent curves reveal the safety profile of PEG-AgNPs on normal gingival fibroblasts with a plateau curve as doses increase. Moreover, the minimal sensitization of the oral cancer cells to the PEG-AgNPs confirms their wide cytological biocompatibility. B A bar chart of the normal cell mean viability percentage (mean ± SD) versus cancerous cells reveals the high resistance of gingival fibroblasts to the PEG-AgNPs with high selectivity index (SI) pointed towards SCC4 cellsBack to article page
