- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The study will evaluate gold nanoparticle-coated retainers for their effects on oral and gingival health and antimicrobial properties. We expect reductions in Porphyromonas gingivalis and Streptococcus mutans, improved gingival health, and positive feedback at 15 and 30 days. Comparative and statistical analyses will assess effectiveness and guide future research.Timepoint: The time points for this study are: <br/ ><br> <br/ ><br>Baseline (at retainer delivery) <br/ ><br>15 days post-delivery <br/ ><br>30 days post-delivery
