The antibacterial processes and properties of nanozymes (NZs). A Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus are the two most prevalent species of bacteria that cause dental cavities. Gum disease may result from the growth of Treponema denticola and Porphyromonas gingivalis, which can make your gums swell. B As we all know, the antibacterial mechanism of NZ is mainly divided into the following categories: POD or oxidase mimics can transfer corresponding substrate H2O2 or oxygen (O2) into ROS such as ·OH or singlet oxygen (1O2), thereby achieving antibacterial effect [94]
