Abstract
Aim: To evaluate the antimicrobial activity and efficiency of the cyanoacrylate adhesive incorporated with chitosan nanoparticles Objective: to formulate an adhesive for membrane stabilisation in grafting and optical determine its anti-microbial efficacy Materials and methods: Chitosan nanoparticles were made by dissolving chitosan in 1percent acetic acid and stirred at 1000 rpm for 24 hrs. Presence of nanoparticles was confirmed by the use of a spectrophotometer. Medical grade Isoamyl 2 cyanoacrylate was used to mix with the chitosan nano particle. Setting time, efficacy and anti-microbial effects were evaluated Results: Anti-microbial activity test showed significant results.
