Antibacterial Effect and Clinical Performance of Chitosan Modified Glass Ionomer

Summary

The study is a randomized clinical trial that assesses the clinical success and the antibacterial effect on carious dentine of glass ionomer when modified with Chitosan and/or Titanium dioxide nano particles vs the control group of modification with Chlorhexidine as control when used in primary molars
