Green Synthesized Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles with <i>Salvadora persica</i> L. Root Extract and Their Antagonistic Activity Against Oral and Health-Threatening Pathogens.

ABSTRACT: For the past few years, the synthesis of zinc oxide (ZnO) and other metal oxide nanoparticles has been carried out using plant tissues, extracts, and other plant parts. The green synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles has many advantages over other processes, and the primary areas of application are drug delivery, food additives, and surface coatings. The use of nanoparticles as an alternative antimicrobial agent in the health and biomedical sectors has increased significantly in recent years. This study explores the antimicrobial activities of zinc oxide nanoparticles synthesized via a green method using Salvadora persica L., which is commonly known as miswak plant extracts, and their potential application in a mouthwash formulation. First, we produced the nanoparticles with green s
