The results showed that PAI had the roles as the pluralism moral activator to students. Data of research were obtained through interview, observation, and documentation. The school was selected because its students had diversity of backgrounds, and the school had committed to develop the multicultural insights. The research was conducted at SMA (Sekolah Menengah Atas/Senior High School) Plus Pembangunan Jaya Bintaro Tangerang. It was the results of the field research by using a qualitative method. Incorporation of the antibacterial nanosilver powder in the adhesive system didn’t compromise the degree of conversion of the adhesive resin.This article aims to explain the roles of PAI (Pendidikan Agama Islam/Islamic Education) at multicultural schools. In contrast, self-etch adhesive with nanosilver solution recorded significantly lower values when compared to the control or nanosilver powder group (P< 0.05).Ĭonclusion: The antibacterial efficacy of the adhesive system can be greatly potentiated with the addition of silver nanoparticles (12µg/mL concentration) especially the nanosilver powder. Results: The results showed that silver nanoparticles incorporation (powder or ethanol based at 12.5 µg/ml concentration) significantly increased the antibacterial efficacy of the self-etch adhesive against Streptococcus mutans (P 0.05). The effect of nanosilver incorporation (powder and ethanol-based solution) in the self-etch adhesive system on its degree of conversion was assessed using Attenuated Total Reflectance/ Fourier Transform Infra-Red spectrometer (ATR/ FTIR).

Methods: Minimum Inhibitory Concentration of the self-etch adhesive system incorporated with nanosilver powder and solution against Streptococcus mutans was tested using an agar diffusion test.

investigate the minimum inhibitory concentration of antimicrobial silver nanoparticles incorporated in two forms into the self-etch adhesive system and the effect of their incorporation on the degree of conversion of the self-etch adhesive. Degree of conversion of the dental adhesive represents a relative assessment to its quality, and a direct correlation with its mechanical behavior. Introduction: Despite of the recent advances in the adhesive dentistry, high possibility of microbial biofilm development at the resin restoration surfaces may lead to marginal gaps and recurrent caries.
