The minimum inhibitory KEYWORDS concentration (MIC) was determined, which was followed by the quantification of the biofilm by Polyphosphates; silver counting colony-forming units (CFUs), the amount of metabolic activity, and the total biomass. The nanoparticles; biofilm; MICs revealed greater effectiveness of composites containing 10% Ag (TMP + Ag10% (T10) and Candida albicans; HMP + Ag10% (H10)) against both microorganisms. It was observed that T10 and H10 reduced the Streptococcus mutans formation of biofilms by 56–76% for C. albicans and by 52–94% for S. mutans for total biomass and metabolic activity. These composites promoted significant log reductions in the number of CFUs, between 0.45–1.43 log10 for C. albicans and 2.88–3.71 log10 for S. mutans (p < .001). These composites demonstrated significant antimicrobial activity, especially against S. mutans, and may be considered a potential alternative for new dental materials.
