OBJECTIVE: Dental diseases such as caries, periodontal disorders, and infections around dental implants are
increasingly common and present a significant challenge to global public health.Palladium, a noble metal, has
inherent antimicrobial properties that become more pronounced when reduced to the nanoscale, enhancing its
ability to inhibit bacterial growth and biofilm formation.This study holds considerable potential in the context of
dental medicine, where the need for effective treatments against drug-resistant infections is urgent. If successful,
the application of palladium nanoparticles synthesized from Andrographis could provide a novel, safer, and more
natural approach to combating dental pathogens.
