In vitro analysis shows enhanced color stability and antifungal activity in silicone with nanoparticles, indicating improved prosthetic longevity.

The combination of zinc oxide and titanium dioxide nanoparticles significantly improves color stability and antifungal activity.
The dual-nanoparticle formulation achieved the best results with a color change ΔE of 0.86 and a fungal inhibition zone of 7.8 mm.
Fifty specimens were categorized into control and nanoparticle groups to study their effects on silicone performance.
The study indicates a strong correlation between nanoparticle use and enhanced material properties, suggesting further applications in prosthetics.

Mohammad et al. (2025) studied this question.
