Nanotechnology is the manipulation of any matter on atomic, molecular and supramolecular scale. Treating the anti-microbial activities against oral pathogens using nanotechnology is a well known techniquebut treating them with Zirconyl nitrate along with Curcuma longa has not been reported earlier. It is a unique combination where most scrutinized literature was collected after meticulous research. A comparative study of Zirconyl nitrate and zirconium oxychloride has been carried out by synthesizing them chemically by a certain process to know a better result. Zirconyl nitrate showed a better and also a clearer result in different parameters. So it has been chosen for further synthesis. A green synthesis has been carried out using Curcuma longa by extracting the longa. The extract was then treated with Zirconyl nitrate solution and later heated. After removing the impurities, the obtained product has been calcinated where a powder is procured. Subsequently the obtained powder is analyzed by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), UltraViolet (UV) and Particle size analyzer methods where it confirmed the crystalline nature and morphology of the synthesized products. Streptococcus mutans and Escherichia coli has been selected to test the anti-microbial activities in the oral pathogens. It is selected to treat Oral thrush caused by fungus Candida albicans which accumulates on the lining of the human mouth. Zirconyl nitrate was studied on bacterial strains of E.coli and Streptococcus mutans. On the basis of the study, it could be speculated that the Zr (NO3)4 nanoparticles with the different active facets will show different antimicrobial activity.
