Abstract

UV responsive photocatalyst TiO2, biocide polymer, R. elliptica extract, silver nanoparticles using H. inuloides extract have been studied to eliminate biofilms on orthodontic materials. However, plant could be explored as anti bioadhesive agents to prevent biofilm on orthodontic ligatures.
