Aim: To assess the effects of adding nano-titanium dioxide (nano-TiO 2 ) and nano-silicon dioxide (nano-SiO 2 ) and their mixture to poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) to induce antimicrobial activity in acrylic resins. Materials and Methods: Acrylic specimens in size of 20 mm × 20 mm × 1 mm of 0.5%...
