Antimicrobial Efficacy of Pelargonium Graveolens Gold Nanoparticles: A Novel Mouthwash for Children
...Show More Authors
ABSTRACT<sec> <title>Background

Nowadays, there is a trend to promote the use of natural materials in dentistry. One of these compounds that has lately grown significantly in relevance in clinical research is Pelargonium Graveolens .

Objectives

This study was conducted to evaluate the antimicrobial efficacy of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) of Pelargonium Graveolens leaves extract for children in comparison with the commonly used chlorhexidine. There are no previously available studies concerning the anti‐microbial activity of Pelargonium Graveolens leaves.

Materials and Method

Sixty participants with mild to moderate gingivitis were randomly allocated in a ratio of 1:1 to receive twice‐daily mouthwash for 3 weeks (30 with a novel herbal mouthwash containing Pelargonium Graveolens AuNPs as a study group and 30 children with chlorhexidine as a control group). Clinical parameters (plaque index and gingival index) were assessed at the baseline (before the use of mouthwash), and then they were assessed 3 times at one‐week intervals after the first assessment through the period of the study. On the other hand, microbiological examination was done using supragingival plaque sampling with a curette for those participants at the baseline and three weeks after the use of the mouthwash.

Results

After completing the intervention, although the study group had lower plaque scores compared to the control group, the difference was statistically significant. On the other hand, the study group had a significant reduction in the gingival index scores compared to the control group ( p  = 0.000). The microbiological analysis revealed that the treatment mouthwash significantly depleted the count of S. mutans in the last visit.

Conclusion

The novel Pelargonium Graveolens AuNPs mouthwash was effective in improving (PI) and (GI), which mean improve oral health status. Rinsing with Pelargonium Graveolens AuNPs mouthwash reduced the count of oral Streptococcus mutans significantly in children. Clinical trial registration Number: ClinicalTrials.gov on April 15, 2023, with ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05816512.

Removal of Malachite Green from Aqueous Solution using Ficus Benjamina Activated Carbon-Nonmetal Oxide synthesized by pyro Carbonic Acid Microwave
...Show More Authors

Activated carbon derived from Ficus Binjamina agro-waste synthesized by pyro carbonic acid microwave method and treated with silicon oxide (SiO2) was used to enhance the adsorption capability of the malachite green (MG) dye. Three factors of concentration of dye, time of mixing, and the amount of activated carbon with four levels were used to investigate their effect on the MG removal efficiency. The results show that 0.4 g/L dosage, 80 mg/L dye concentration, and 40 min adsorption duration were found as an optimum conditions for 99.13% removal efficiency. The results also reveal that Freundlich isotherm and the pseudo-second-order kinetic models were the best models to describe the equilibrium adsorption data.

Abstract

The increasing of some traded Agricultural crops prices coincide with the increasing of crude oil prices in global market since the beginning of 21st century which indicate the possibility of short run and long run causality relation between the imported economic variables. The study aims to analysis the causality effects between some of Agricultural crops prices imported by Iraq and the prices of crude oil and Iraq dinar exchange rate   in global markets for period (2004:1 -2016:4) theory for developing the adequate price and economic police for Iraqi economic sector. The results show the existence of short- run and long- run between the eco

Asphalt Binder Modification with High-Density Polyethylene Polymer and Low-Density Polyethylene Polymer – Efficiency of Conducting Semi-Wet Mixing Process
...Show More Authors

In this research, the performance of asphalt mixtures modified with polyethylene polymer (PE) by adding 2%, 4%, and 6% percentages was evaluated. Two kinds of PE are employed: Low-Density PE (LDPE) and High-Density PE (HDPE). The semi-wet mixing technique (SWM) was conducted to avoid stability issue for PE-modified binder during storage condition. Many experimental tests were conducted to evaluate the ability of these mixtures to withstand the effects of loads and moisture. The hardness index of these mixtures was also measured to determine their resistance to the effects of high temperatures without causing permanent deformations. The results showed that adding PE led to a remarkable enhancement in the performance of PE-modified mixtures.
