Antibacterial Activity of As-Annealed TiO₂ Nanotubes Doped with Ag Nanoparticles against Periodontal Pathogens

Figure 3

Descriptive analysis of adhesion of (a) A. actinomycetemcomitans, (b) T. forsythia, and (c) C. rectus on all groups tested (Group TiO₂: as-annealed TiO₂ nanotubes; Group Ag: as-annealed Ag doped TiO₂ nanotubes; Group Ti: commercially pure Ti sheet; Control Group: 24-well cell culture plate bottoms). Data are presented as the mean ± SD (standard deviation). Results were analyzed using a one-way ANOVA and post hoc analyses were performed using Tukey’s studentized range (HSD) test ( and ).
