Long term antifungal efficacy of silver ‑zinc zeolite nanoparticles incorporated in two soft denture liners ‑ An in vitro assessment

Conclusion: SZZ ‑NPs 0.5%w/w, 2%w/w, and fluconazole 5%w/w can be incorporated with softdenture liners against C. albicans. Fluconazole 5%w/w is the recommended choice for short ‑termantifungal efficacy, while SZZ ‑NPs 2%w/w is recommended when long‑term antifungal efficacy isneeded. GC soft denture liner was the recommended choice.Key Words: Candida albicans, drug delivery systems, drug resistance, nanoparticles, zeolites
