Antimicrobial Property and Cytotoxicity of Hesperidin Incorporated

Abstract

Introduction: Dentin adhesives are frequently used in restorative dentistry, although they can be vulnerable to bacterial colonisation, which can result in recurrent caries. Citrus fruits contain the flavonoid hesperidin (HPN), which has demonstrated potential antibacterial activity against a variety of microorganisms. This study looked at the cytotoxicity and antibacterial effects of total etch dentin adhesive that was incorporated with hesperidin.
