Abstract : The research study aims to particularly evaluate the antimicrobial activity of mouthwash containing copper nanoparticles, by synthesized using Lepidium Sativum (garden cress) seeds extract. As increasing concern over the antimicrobial resistance of the exploration of alternative antimicrobial agents. Copper nanoparticles have shown perfect promising antimicrobial properties due their high surface area and potential for disrupt microbial membranes. Lepidium Sativum seeds extract as known for its bioactive compounds, which may be further enhance the antimicrobial efficacy and potency. Our mouthwash was tested against the panel of common oral pathogens and its efficacy and potency were compared with marketed conventional mouthwash formulations. Our research results indicated that the mouthwash with copper nanoparticles and Lepidium Sativum seeds extract exhibits good significant antimicrobial activity, making it a perfect potential candidate for maintaining oral hygiene.
