Novel antibacterial titanium implant healing abutment with dimethylaminohexadecyl methacrylate to combat implant-related infections. Dent Mater 2024; 40:244-253. [PMID: 37981511 DOI: 10.1016/j.dental.2023.11.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2023] [Revised: 11/05/2023] [Accepted: 11/06/2023] [Indexed: 11/21/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Implant-related infections from the adhesion and proliferation of dental plaque are a major challenge for dental implants. The objectives of this study were to: (1) develop novel antibacterial titanium (Ti) healing abutment; (2) investigate the inhibition of implant infection-related pathogenic bacteria and saliva-derived biofilm, and evaluate the biocompatibility of the new material for the first time. METHODS Dimethylaminohexadecyl methacrylate (DMAHDM) and hydroxyapatite (HAP) were polymerized via polydopamine (PDA) on Ti. Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), Streptococcus sanguinis (S. sanguinis) and human saliva-derived biofilms were tested. After 4 weeks of DMAHDM release, the antibacterial efficacy of the DMAHDM remaining on Ti surface and the DMADHM in medium was tested. Biocompatibility was determined using human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) and periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs). RESULTS The DMAHDM-loaded coating filled into the nano-voids in Ti surfaces. The modified Ti showed potent antibacterial activity, reducing the CFU of S. aureus, S. sanguinis and saliva-derived biofilms by 8, 7 and 4 log, respectively (P < 0.05). After 4 weeks of release, the modified Ti was still able to reduce S. aureus and S. sanguinis biofilm CFU by 1-3 log (P < 0.05). This provided strong antibacterial function for more than 4 weeks, which were the high-risk period for implant infections. The new material showed excellent biocompatibility when compared to control (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION Novel DMAHDM-loaded Ti healing abutment had strong antibacterial effects, reducing biofilm CFUs by orders of magnitude, and lasting for over four weeks to cover the high-risk period for implant infections. The novel antibacterial Ti is promising to combat implant-related infections in dental, craniofacial and orthopedic applications.

[PMID: 37760093 PMCID: PMC10525142 DOI: 10.3390/bioengineering10090991] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2023] [Revised: 08/07/2023] [Accepted: 08/11/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Composites are commonly used for tooth restorations, but recurrent caries often lead to restoration failures due to polymerization shrinkage-stress-induced marginal leakage. The aims of this research were to: (1) develop novel low-shrinkage-stress (L.S.S.) nanocomposites containing dimethylaminododecyl methacrylate (DMADDM) with nanoparticles of calcium fluoride (nCaF2) or amorphous calcium phosphate (NACP) for remineralization; (2) investigate antibacterial and cytocompatibility properties. METHODS Nanocomposites were made by mixing triethylene glycol divinylbenzyl ether with urethane dimethacrylate containing 3% DMADDM, 20% nCaF2, and 20% NACP. Flexural strength, elastic modulus, antibacterial properties against Streptococcus mutans biofilms, and cytotoxicity against human gingival fibroblasts and dental pulp stem cells were tested. RESULTS Nanocomposites with DMADDM and nCaF2 or NACP had flexural strengths matching commercial composite control without bioactivity. The new nanocomposite provided potent antibacterial properties, reducing biofilm CFU by 6 logs, and reducing lactic acid synthesis and metabolic function of biofilms by 90%, compared to controls (p < 0.05). The new nanocomposites produced excellent cell viability matching commercial control (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Bioactive L.S.S. antibacterial nanocomposites with nCaF2 and NACP had excellent bioactivity without compromising mechanical and cytocompatible properties. The new nanocomposites are promising for a wide range of dental restorations by improving marginal integrity by reducing shrinkage stress, defending tooth structures, and minimizing cariogenic biofilms.

Abstract
Dental caries is mainly caused by oral biofilm acid, and the most common dental restoration treatment is composite dental restorations. The main cause of failure is secondary caries adjacent to the restoration. Long-term survival of dental materials is improved by the presence of antibacterial agents, which selectively inhibit bacterial growth or survival. Chemical, natural and biomaterials have been studied for their antimicrobial activities and antibacterial bonding agents have been improved. Their usage has been increased to inhibit the growth of invading and residual bacteria in the oral cavity, as biofilm accumulation increases the risk of treatment failure. In this article, the success and applications of antibacterial agents are discussed in dental bonding systems.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Current dental resins exhibit polymerization shrinkage causing microleakage, which has the potential to cause recurrent caries. Our objectives were to create and characterize low-shrinkage-stress (LSS) composites with dimethylaminododecyl methacrylate (DMADDM) as an antibacterial agent to combat recurrent caries. METHODS Triethylene glycol divinylbenzyl ether and urethane dimethacrylate were used to reduce shrinkage stress. DMADDM was incorporated at different mass fractions (0%, 1.5%, 3%, and 5%). Flexural strength, elastic modulus, degree of conversion, polymerization stress, and antimicrobial activity were assessed. RESULTS The composite with 5% DMADDM demonstrated higher flexural strength than the commercial group (p < 0.05). The addition of DMADDM in BisGMA-TEGDMA resin and LSS resin achieved clinically acceptable degrees of conversion. However, LSS composites exhibited much lower polymerization shrinkage stress than BisGMA-TEGDMA composite groups (p < 0.05). The addition of 3% and 5% DMADDM showed a 6-log reduction in Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) biofilm CFUs compared to commercial control (p < 0.001). Biofilm biomass and lactic acid were also substantially decreased via DMADDM (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The novel LSS dental composite containing 3% DMADDM demonstrated potent antibacterial action against S. mutans biofilms and much lower polymerization shrinkage-stress, while maintaining excellent mechanical characteristics. The new composite is promising for dental applications to prevent secondary caries and increase restoration longevity.

Abstract
Dental caries represents one of the most prevalent diseases worldwide, characteristic of the growth of dental plaque and demineralization of tooth enamel. Current medications for eradication of dental plaques and prevention of demineralization suffer from several limitations to overcome, calling for novel strategies with great potency in eliminating cariogenic bacteria and dental plaque that forms, as well as in inhibiting the demineralization of enamel, into an integrated system. Considering the potency of photodynamic therapy in bacteria inactivation and the composition of enamel, we herein report that the novel photodynamic nano hydroxyapatite (nHAP), named Ce6 @QCS/nHAP, was useful for this purpose. Ce6 @QCS/nHAP, comprised of quaternary chitosan (QCS)-coated nHAP loaded with chlorin e6 (Ce6), exhibited good biocompatibility and non-compromised photodynamic activity. In vitro studies revealed that Ce6 @QCS/nHAP could effectively associate with cariogenic Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans), leading to a significant antibacterial effect through photodynamic killing and physical inactivation against the planktonic microbe. Three-dimensional fluorescence imaging suggested that Ce6 @QCS/nHAP exhibited a superior S. mutans biofilm penetration capacity to free Ce6, resulting in effective dental plaque eradiation when light irradiation was applied. The number of surviving bacteria in biofilm was at least 2.8 log units lower in the Ce6 @QCS/nHAP group compared to that in the free Ce6 group. Further, in the S. mutans biofilm-infected artificial tooth model, treatment with Ce6 @QCS/nHAP also resulted in the significant prevention of hydroxyapatite disks from demineralization, with lower percentage of fragmentation and weight loss These data suggest that our photodynamic nanosystem can effectively eradicate dental plaque while also significantly protecting artificial tooth from demineralization, opening up new possibilities in treating bacterium-associated dental caries.

Abstract
Chitosan particles loaded with dibasic calcium phosphate anhydrous (DCPA) is a promising strategy for combining antimicrobial and osteoconduction properties in regenerative medicine. However, mostly micrometer-sized particles have been reported in the literature, limiting their use and reducing their effect in the biomedical field. We have recently overcome this limitation by developing submicrometer-sized particles with electrospray technique. The objective of this study was to understand how the process parameters control the size and properties of submicrometer chitosan particles loaded with DCPA. Solutions of 10 mg/mL chitosan and 2.5 mg/mL DCPA in a 90% acetic acid were electrosprayed under three distinct flow rate conditions: 0.2, 0.5, and 1.0 mL/h. The particles were crosslinked in a glutaraldehyde atmosphere and characterized in terms of their morphology, inorganic content, zeta potential, and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) against S. mutans. All conditions showed particles with two similar morphologies: one small-sized with a spherical shape and another larger-sized with a bi-concave shape. All generated a broad particle size distribution, with a similar mean size of ~ 235 nm. The addition of DCPA decreased the zeta potential for all the samples, but it was above 30 mV, indicating a low aggregation potential. The lower flow rate showed the worst efficacy for DCPA incorporation. Antimicrobial activity was greater in chitosan/DCPA particles with flow rate of 0.5 mL/h. It can be concluded that the flow rate of 0.5 mL/h presents the best compromise solution in terms of morphology, zeta potential, MIC, and inorganic content.

Abstract
The aim was to evaluate the effects of Er,Cr:YSGG and/or bioactive glass 45S5 (BG) on the chemical and physical properties of enamel after radiotherapy. Third molar crowns were cut in half (buccal-lingually), and the mid part of the labial/oral surface was subjected to different protocols. All samples were treated with standard 70 Gy. After radiotherapy, enamel was treated with either Er,Cr:YSGG (2780 nm; pulse 60 μs) and BG or only BG, and control samples were kept in deionized water. Vickers microhardness, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and characteristic X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) were performed before, after radiotherapy, and after treatment. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used. A significant drop in enamel microhardness was observed after radiotherapy (p < 0.001). After Er,Cr:YSGG and BG or BG alone, there was a significant increase in microhardness (p < 0.001), which was on average significantly higher compared to the initial measurements for Er,Cr:YSGG with BG (p < 0.001), but not observed in BG alone (p = 0.331). After radiotherapy, SEM showed increased surface roughness with eroded prisms. Er,Cr:YSGG and BG or BG alone both showed disorderly packed glass particles on the enamel surface. Radiotherapy noticeably reduced the concentrations of calcium and phosphorus. Er,Cr:YSGG and BG treatment increased the concentrations of calcium, sodium, phosphorus, and silicate. BG treatment alone increased the concetration of calcium and phosphorus. Directly induced radiotherapy led to potential damage of enamel, but afterwards treatment with Er,Cr:YSGG laser and BG resulted in a higher increase of enamel microhardness compared to BG alone, reflecting in a possible better remineralization effect.

Abstract
Ceramic nanomaterials are nanoscale inorganic metalloid solids that can be synthesised by heating at high temperatures followed by rapid cooling. Since the first nanoceramics were developed in the 1980s, ceramic nanomaterials have rapidly become one of the core nanomaterials for research because of their versatility in application and use in technology. Researchers are developing ceramic nanomaterials for dental use because ceramic nanoparticles are more stable and cheaper in production than metallic nanoparticles. Ceramic nanomaterials can be used to prevent dental caries because some of them have mineralising properties to promote the remineralisation of tooth tissue. Ceramic minerals facilitate the remineralisation process and maintain an equilibrium in pH levels to maintain tooth integrity. In addition, ceramic nanomaterials have antibacterial properties to inhibit the growth of cariogenic biofilm. Researchers have developed antimicrobial nanoparticles, conjugated ceramic minerals with antibacterial and mineralising properties, to prevent the formation and progression of caries. Common ceramic nanomaterials developed for caries prevention include calcium-based (including hydroxyapatite-based), bioactive glass-based, and silica-based nanoparticles. Calcium-based ceramic nanomaterials can substitute for the lost hydroxyapatite by depositing calcium ions. Bioactive glass-based nanoparticles contain surface-reactive glass that can form apatite crystals resembling bone and tooth tissue and exhibit chemical bonding to the bone and tooth tissue. Silica-based nanoparticles contain silica for collagen infiltration and enhancing heterogeneous mineralisation of the dentin collagen matrix. In summary, ceramic nanomaterials can be used for caries prevention because of their antibacterial and mineralising properties. This study gives an overview of ceramic nanomaterials for the prevention of dental caries.

Abstract
Biofilm accumulation on the polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) restorations negatively affect the prognosis of the provisional restorations or the following treatment. This study developed a novel antibacterial PMMA resin containing low concentration of dimethylaminohexadecyl methacrylate (DMAHDM). Four resins were tested: (1) PMMA resin (Control), (2) 1.25% DMAHDM, (3) 2.5% DMAHDM, (4) 5% DMAHDM. Adding 1.25% DMAHDM into the PMMA resin did not influence the mechanical properties, degree of conversion, monomer releasing, and color stability of the specimens (p > 0.05). The incorporation of DMAHDM into PMMA resin could greatly prevent saliva-derived biofilms adhesion compared with the control group (p < 0.05). The metabolism level of saliva-derived biofilms on the 1.25%, 2.5%, and 5% DMAHDM resins were reduced by 20%, 54%, and 62%, respectively. And the mechanism of DMAHDM disturbing the integrity of bacterial cell walls was confirmed by flow cytometric analysis. Adding 1.25% and 2.5% DMAHDM did not compromise cytocompatibility of the modified resin (p > 0.05). Therefore, novel PMMA resin containing low concentration DMAHDM is promising as a future antimicrobial provisional restoration material for preventing microbial-induced complications in clinical settings.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The manufacturing of polymethylmethacrylate(PMMA) microspheres loaded with doxycycline(DOX) and/or silver sulfate(Ag2SO4) to be incorporated into glass ionomer cement(GIC). METHODS PMMA microspheres were manufactured with Ag2SO4(1-5%) and/or DOX(5-15%). Particle size, encapsulation efficiency and drug release were measured by light microscope, ICP, and HPLC. Microspheres were added to a dental GIC(20%w/w). Drug release and DTS were investigated. Minimum inhibitory concentration and antibacterial effects of PMMA microspheres into GIC materials were tested. RESULTS The median diameter of 50 µm was obtained for microspheres. DOX was encapsulated at an efficiency of 8.3% using a theoretical loading of 15%DOX + 5%Ag2SO4. The Ag2SO4 encapsulation efficiency was 0.63% using a theoretical loading of 5%AgSO4. All groups showed burst release within the first day and continued released up to 15 days, with 60-83% of DOX and approximately 30% of silver. For GIC, approximately 15% of DOX and 0.18% of silver were released in a 7-day period. Microbiological results showed an antimicrobial effect against S. mutans when the lead formulation of microspheres was added. The DTS was reduced by the inclusion of microspheres. SIGNIFICANCE PMMA microspheres containing DOX and Ag2SO4 offer a sustained antimicrobial activity for dental applications and promising potential for the biomedical field.

Abstract
Nanoparticles based on metal and metallic oxide have become a novel trend for dental use as they interfere with bacterial metabolism and prevent biofilm formation. Metal and metal oxide nanoparticles demonstrate significant antimicrobial activity by metal ion release, oxidative stress induction and non-oxidative mechanisms. Silver, zinc, titanium, copper, and magnesium ions have been used to develop metal and metal oxide nanoparticles. In addition, fluoride has been used to functionalise the metal and metal oxide nanoparticles. The fluoride-functionalised nanoparticles show fluoride-releasing properties that enhance apatite formation, promote remineralisation, and inhibit demineralisation of enamel and dentine. The particles' nanoscopic size increases their surface-to-volume ratio and bioavailability. The increased surface area facilitates their mechanical bond with tooth tissue. Therefore, metal and metal oxide nanoparticles have been incorporated in dental materials to strengthen the mechanical properties of the materials and to prevent caries development. Another advantage of metal and metal oxide nanoparticles is their easily scalable production. The aim of this study is to provide an overview of the use of metal and metal oxide nanoparticles in caries prevention. The study reviews their effects on dental materials regarding antibacterial, remineralising, aesthetic, and mechanical properties.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Composites with remineralizing and antibacterial properties are favorable for caries inhibition. The objectives of this study were to develop a new bioactive nanocomposite with remineralizing and antibiofilm properties by incorporating dimethylaminohexadecyl methacrylate (DMAHDM) and nano-calcium fluoride (nCaF2). METHODS nCaF2 was produced via a spray-drying method and integrated at 15% mass fraction into composite. DMAHDM was added at 3% mass fraction. Mechanical properties and F and Ca ion releases were assessed. Colony-forming units (CFU), lactic acid and metabolic activity of biofilms on composites were performed. RESULTS The new composites had flexural strengths of (95.28±6.32) MPa and (125.93±7.49) MPa, which were within the ISO recommendations. Biofilm CFU were reduced by 3-4 log (p<0.05). The composites achieved high F releases of (0.89±0.01) mmol/L and (0.44±0.01) mmol/L, and Ca releases of (1.46±0.05) mmol/L and (0.54±0.005) mmol/L. CONCLUSIONS New nanocomposites were developed with good mechanical properties, potent antibacterial activity against salivary biofilms, and high F and Ca ion releases with potential for remineralization. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Novel nanocomposites using nCaF2 and DMAHDM were developed with potent antibacterial and remineralizing effects and high F and Ca ion releases. They are promising to inhibit recurrent caries, promote remineralization, and possess long-term sustainability.

The Bond Strength and Antibacterial Activity of the Universal Dentin Bonding System: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Microorganisms 2021; 9:1230. [PMID: 34204100 PMCID: PMC8227198 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms9061230] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2021] [Revised: 06/01/2021] [Accepted: 06/04/2021] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) is a group of viridans mostly located in oral flora among the wide and biodiverse biofilm. It plays a significant role not only in caries formation but also triggering intracerebral haemorrhage. The durable and stable bond interface, besides bacteria elimination, is one of the crucial factors influencing the resin composite restoration performance. This study aimed to evaluate universal adhesives (UAs) with regard to in vitro bond strength to dentin, and the inhibition of the S. mutans growth and compare them with UAs modified with antimicrobial agents through a systematic review and meta-analysis. Two reviewers performed a literature search up to April 2021 in 5 electronic databases: PubMed MedLine, Scielo, ISI Web of Science, Scopus, and EMBASE. Only in vitro studies reporting the effect of modifying UAs with antimicrobial agents on the bond strength to dentin and/or on the inhibition of the S. mutans were included. Analyses were carried out using Review Manager Software version 5.3.5 (The Nordic Cochrane Centre, The Cochrane Collaboration, Copenhagen, Denmark). The methodological quality of each in vitro study was evaluated following the parameters of a previous systematic review. A total of 1716 potentially relevant publications were recognized. After reviewing the title and abstract, 16 studies remained in the systematic review. From these, a total of 3 studies were included in the meta-analysis. Since data from the studies included in the antimicrobial outcome included zero values, they could not be meta-analysed. Including 0 values in the analysis will lead to several biases in the analysis, so these data were discarded. The antibacterial effect against S. mutans of UAs modified with antimicrobial agents was higher than the non-modified adhesive systems. Within the limitations of the present study, the bond strength of UAs to dentin could be improved by using antimicrobial agents. The UAs modified with antibacterial agents showed a decrease in the viability of S. mutans biofilm, among the adhesives tested. However, there are not enough valid data on antibacterial properties of modified UAs; therefore, more well-designed research on these materials is needed.

Abstract
This study evaluated the effect of incorporating phosphorylated chitosan/amorphous calcium phosphate nanocomplex (Pchi/ACP) into an experimental light-cure composite resin on mechanical-chemical properties and human dentin remineralization. The results showed that the mechanical strength and contact angles of the resins decreased with the increase incorporation of Pchi/ACP. Release concentrations of calcium in saline solution were measured at different time points, showing the incorporation of Pchi/ACP significantly increased calcium release within 14 days, and kept steady thereafter. Finally, the demineralized dentin slabs treated with our resins for four weeks were characterized by SEM-EDS. Various amounts of apatite were formed on the dentin slabs which were treated with the resins containing Pchi/ACP, whereas no apatite was formed without Pchi/ACP. In conclusion, the Pchi/ACP-incorporating composite resin can be a promising dental material due to its favorable mechanical and remineralization properties.

Abstract
Therapeutic options are quite limited in clinics for the successful repair of infected/degenerated tissues. Although the prevalent treatment is the complete removal of the whole infected tissue, this leads to a loss of tissue function and serious complications. Herein the dental pulp infection, as one of the most common dental problems, was selected as a clinically relevant case to regenerate using a multifunctional nanotherapeutic approach. For this, a mesoporous bioactive glass nano-delivery system incorporating silicate, calcium, and copper as well as loading epidermal growth factor (EGF) was designed to provide antibacterial/pro-angiogenic and osteo/odontogenic multiple therapeutic effects. Amine-functionalized Cu-doped bioactive glass nanospheres (Cu-BGn) were prepared to be 50-60 nm in size, mesoporous, positive-charged and bone-bioactive. The Cu-BGn could release bioactive ions (copper, calcium and silicate ions) with therapeutically-effective doses. The Cu-BGn treatment to human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) led to significant enhancement of the migration, tubule formation and expression of angiogenic gene (e.g. vascular endothelial growth factor, VEGF). Furthermore, the EGF-loaded Cu-BGn (EGF@Cu-BGn) showed pro-angiogenic effects with antibacterial activity against E. faecalis, a pathogen commonly involved in the pulp infection. Of note, under the co-culture condition of HUVEC with E. faecalis, the secretion of VEGF was up-regulated. In addition, the osteo/odontogenic stimulation of the EGF@Cu-BGn was evidenced with human dental pulp stem cells. The local administration of the EGF@Cu-BGn in a rat molar tooth defect infected with E. faecalis revealed significant in vivo regenerative capacity, highlighting the nanotherapeutic uses of the multifunctional nanoparticles for regenerating infected/damaged hard tissues.

Abstract
Caries is the most common and extensive oral chronic disease. Due to the lack of anti-caries properties, traditional caries filling materials can easily cause secondary caries and lead to treatment failure. Nanomaterials can interfere with the bacteria metabolism, inhibit the formation of biofilm, reduce demineralization, and promote remineralization, which is expected to be an effective strategy for caries management. The nanotechnology in anti-caries materials, especially nano-adhesive and nano-composite resin, has developed fast in recent years. In this review, the antibacterial nanomaterials, remineralization nanomaterials, and nano-drug delivery systems are reviewed. We are aimed to provide a theoretical basis for the future development of anti-caries nanomaterials.

Novel Nanocomposite Inhibiting Caries at the Enamel Restoration Margins in an In Vitro Saliva-Derived Biofilm Secondary Caries Model. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21176369. [PMID: 32887330 PMCID: PMC7503730 DOI: 10.3390/ijms21176369] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/06/2020] [Revised: 08/29/2020] [Accepted: 08/30/2020] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Secondary caries often occurs at the tooth-composite margins. This study developed a novel bioactive composite containing DMAHDM (dimethylaminohexadecyl methacrylate) and NACP (nanoparticles of amorphous calcium phosphate), inhibiting caries at the enamel restoration margins in an in vitro saliva-derived biofilm secondary caries model for the first time. Four composites were tested: (1) Heliomolar nanocomposite, (2) 0% DMAHDM + 0% NACP, (3) 3% DMAHDM + 0% NACP, (D) 3% DMAHDM + 30% NACP. Saliva-derived biofilms were tested for antibacterial effects of the composites. Bovine enamel restorations were cultured with biofilms, Ca and P ion release of nanocomposite and enamel hardness at the enamel restoration margins was measured. Incorporation of DMAHDM and NACP into composite did not affect the mechanical properties (p > 0.05). The biofilms’ CFU (colony-forming units) were reduced by 2 logs via DMAHDM (p < 0.05). Ca and P ion release of the nanocomposite was increased at cariogenic low pH. Enamel hardness at the margins for DMAHDM group was 25% higher than control (p < 0.05). With DMAHDM + NACP, the enamel hardness was the greatest and about 50% higher than control (p < 0.05). Therefore, the novel composite containing DMAHDM and NACP was strongly antibacterial and inhibited enamel demineralization, resulting in enamel hardness at the margins under biofilms that approached the hardness of healthy enamel.

In vitro evaluation of composite containing DMAHDM and calcium phosphate nanoparticles on recurrent caries inhibition at bovine enamel-restoration margins. Dent Mater 2020; 36:1343-1355. [PMID: 32800353 DOI: 10.1016/j.dental.2020.07.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/21/2019] [Revised: 01/09/2020] [Accepted: 07/15/2020] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Recurrent caries is a primary reason for restoration failure caused by biofilm acids. The objectives of this study were to: (1) develop a novel multifunctional composite with antibacterial function and calcium (Ca) and phosphate (P) ion release, and (2) investigate the effects on enamel demineralization and hardness at the margins under biofilms. METHODS Dimethylaminohexadecyl methacrylate (DMAHDM) and nanoparticles of amorphous calcium phosphate (NACP) were incorporated into composite. Four groups were tested: (1) Commercial control (Heliomolar), (2) Experimental control (0% DMAHDM + 0% NACP), (3) antibacterial group (3% DMAHDM + 0% NACP), (D) antibacterial and remineralizing group (3% DMAHDM + 30% NACP). Mechanical properties and Ca and P ion release were measured. Colony-forming units (CFU), lactic acid and polysaccharide of Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) biofilms were evaluated. Demineralization of bovine enamel with restorations was induced via S. mutans, and enamel hardness was measured. Data were analyzed via one-way and two-way analyses of variance and Tukey's multiple comparison tests. RESULTS Adding DMAHDM and NACP into composite did not compromise the mechanical properties (P > 0.05). Ca and P ion release of 3% DMAHDM + 30% NACP was increased at cariogenic low pH. Biofilm lactic acid and polysaccharides were greatly decreased via DMAHDM, and CFU was reduced by 4 logs (P < 0.05). Under biofilm acids, enamel hardness at the margins was decreased to about 0.5 GPa for control; it was about 1 GPa for antibacterial group, and 1.3 GPa for antibacterial and remineralizing group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The novel 3% DMAHDM + 30% NACP composite had strong antibacterial effects. It substantially reduced enamel demineralization adjacent to restorations under biofilm acid attacks, yielding enamel hardness that was 2-fold greater than that of control composites. The novel multifunctional composite is promising to inhibit recurrent caries.

Abstract
Refractory root canal infection of human teeth is the primary cause of dental treatment failure. Enterococcus faecalis is the major cause of refractory root canal infection. In the present study, poly(D,L-lactic-co-glycolide) (PLGA) submicron particles were used as carriers to deliver an antimicrobial quaternary ammonium silane (code-named K21) as well as calcium and phosphorus elements. The release profiles, antibacterial ability against E. faecalis, extent of infiltration into dentinal tubules, biocompatibility and in vitro mineralization potential of the particles were investigated. In addition, the antimicrobial effects of the particles against E. faecalis infection were evaluated in vivo in the teeth of beagle dogs. The encapsulated components were released from the PLGA particles in a sustained-release manner. The particles also displayed good biocompatibility, in vitro mineralization ability and antibacterial activity against E. faecalis. The particles could be driven into dentinal tubules of dentin slices by ultrasonic activation and inhibited E. faecalis colonization. In the root canals of beagle dogs, PLGA submicron particles loaded with K21, calcium and phosphorus demonstrated strong preventive effects against E. faecalis infection. The system may be developed into a new intracanal disinfectant for root canal treatment.

Abstract
According to the American Dental Association Survey of Dental Services Rendered (published in 2007), 15 million root canal treatment procedures are performed annually. Endodontic therapy relies mainly on biomechanical preparation, chemical irrigation and intracanal medicaments which play an important role in eliminating bacteria in the root canal. Furthermore, adequate obturation is essential to confine any residual bacteria within the root canal and deprive them of nutrients. However, numerous studies have shown that complete elimination of bacteria is not achieved due to the complex anatomy of the root canal system. There are several conventional antibiotic materials available in the market for endodontic use. However, the majority of these antibiotics and antiseptics provide short-term antibacterial effects, and they impose a risk of developing antibacterial resistance. The root canal is a dynamic environment, and antibacterial and antibiofilm materials with long-term effects and nonspecific mechanisms of action are highly desirable in such environments. In addition, the application of acidic solutions to the root canal wall can alter the dentin structure, resulting in a weaker and more brittle dentin. Root canal sealers with bioactive properties come in direct contact with the dentin wall and can play a positive role in bacterial elimination and strengthening of the root structure. The new generation of nanostructured, bioactive, antibacterial and remineralizing additives into polymeric resin-based root canal sealers are discussed in this review. The effects of these novel bioactive additives on the physical and sealing properties, as well as their biocompatibility, are all important factors that are presented in this article.

Abstract
Dental caries is the most common oral disease. The bacteriological aetiology of dental caries promotes the use of antibiotics or antimicrobial agents to prevent this type of oral infectious disease. Antibiotics have been developed for more than 80 years since Fleming discovered penicillin in 1928, and systemic antibiotics have been used to treat dental caries for a long time. However, new types of antimicrobial agents have been developed to fight against dental caries. The purpose of this review is to focus on the application of systemic antibiotics and other antimicrobial agents with respect to their clinical use to date, including the history of their development, and their side effects, uses, structure types, and molecular mechanisms to promote a better understanding of the importance of microbial interactions in dental plaque and combinational treatments.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Antibacterial quaternary ammonium monomers (QAMs) are used in resins. The rnc gene in Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) plays a key role in resisting antibiotics. The objectives of this study were to investigate for the first time: (1) the effects of rnc deletion on S. mutans biofilms and acid production; (2) the combined effects of rnc deletion with dimethylaminohexadecyl methacrylate (DMAHDM) on biofilm-inhibition efficacy. METHODS Parent S. mutans strain UA159 (ATCC 700610) and the rnc-deleted S. mutans were used. Bacterial growth, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), and minimal bactericidal concentration (MBC) were measured to analyze the bacterial susceptibility of the parent and rnc-deleted S. mutans against DMAHDM, with the gold-standard chlorhexidine (CHX) as control. Biofilm biomass, polysaccharide and lactic acid production were measured. RESULTS The drug-susceptibility of the rnc-deleted S. mutans to DMAHDM or CHX was 2-fold higher than parent S. mutans. The drug-susceptibility did not increase after 10 passages (p < 0.05). Deleting the rnc gene increased the biofilm susceptibility to DMAHDM or CHX by 2-fold. The rnc-deletion in S. mutans reduced biofilm biomass, polysaccharide and lactic acid production, even at no drugs. DMAHDM was nearly 40 % more potent than the gold-standard CHX. The combination of rnc deletion+DMAHDM treatment achieved the greatest reduction in biofilm biomass, polysaccharide synthesis, and lactic acid production. SIGNIFICANCE Gene modification by deleting the rnc in S. mutans reduced the biofilm growth and acid production, and the rnc deletion+DMAHDM method showed the greatest biofilm-inhibition efficacy, for the first time. The dual strategy of antibacterial monomer+bacterial gene modification shows great potential to control biofilms and inhibit caries.

Abstract
Due to their excellent size, designability, and outstanding targeted antibacterial effects, nanoparticles have become a potential option for controlling oral biofilm-related infections. However, the formation of an oral biofilm is a dynamic process, and factors affecting the performance of antibiofilm treatments are complex. As such, when examining the existing literature on the antibiofilm effects of nanoparticles, attention should be paid to the specific mechanisms of action at different stages of oral biofilm formation, as well as relevant influencing factors, in order to achieve an objective and comprehensive evaluation. This review is intended to detail the antibacterial mechanisms of nanoparticles during the four stages of the formation of oral biofilms: 1) acquired film formation; 2) bacterial adhesion; 3) early biofilm development; and 4) biofilm maturation. In addition, factors influencing the antibiofilm properties of nanoparticles are summarized from the aspects of nanoparticles themselves, biofilm models, and host factors. The limitations of current research and possible trends for future research are also discussed. In summary, nanoparticles are a promising antioral biofilm strategy. It is hoped that this review can serve as a reference and inspire ideas for further research on the application of nanoparticles for effectively targeting and treating oral biofilms.

Abstract
Effective control of oral biofilm infectious diseases represents a major global challenge. Microorganisms in biofilms exhibit increased drug tolerance compared with planktonic cells. The present review covers innovative antimicrobial strategies for controlling oral biofilm-related infections published predominantly over the past 5 years. Antimicrobial dental materials based on antimicrobial agent release, contact-killing and multi-functional strategies have been designed and synthesized for the prevention of initial bacterial attachment and subsequent biofilm formation on the tooth and material surface. Among the therapeutic approaches for managing biofilms in clinical practice, antimicrobial photodynamic therapy has emerged as an alternative to antimicrobial regimes and mechanical removal of biofilms, and cold atmospheric plasma shows significant advantages over conventional antimicrobial approaches. Nevertheless, more preclinical studies and appropriately designed and well-structured multi-center clinical trials are critically needed to obtain reliable comparative data. The acquired information will be helpful in identifying the most effective antibacterial solutions and the most optimal circumstances to utilize these strategies.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate water sorption and solubility of two series of experimental composites containing amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) or bioactive glass (BG). Water sorption and solubility were measured for up to 287 days. The surface precipitation of calcium phosphates was evaluated by scanning electron microscopy. The ACP-series showed higher water sorption (223-568 µg/mm3) than the BG-series (40-232 µg/mm3). In contrast, the ACP-series had generally lower solubility (37-106 µg/mm3) than the BG-series (1-506 µg/mm3). The constant specimen mass for the ACP-series was attained after 14 days of water immersion, while the mass decrease due to long-term solubility in the BG-series lasted beyond 287 days. Calcium phosphates precipitated in composites with the BG filler loading of 10 wt% or more, as well as in all of the ACP-containing composites. The experimental composite series showed water sorption and solubility considerably higher than commercial materials.

Abstract
Effective management of biofilm-related oral infectious diseases is a global challenge. Oral biofilm presents increased resistance to antimicrobial agents and elevated virulence compared with planktonic bacteria. Antimicrobial agents, such as chlorhexidine, have proven effective in the disruption/inhibition of oral biofilm. However, the challenge of precisely and continuously eliminating the specific pathogens without disturbing the microbial ecology still exists, which is a major factor in determining the virulence of a multispecies microbial consortium and the consequent development of oral infectious diseases. Therefore, several novel approaches are being developed to inhibit biofilm virulence without necessarily inducing microbial dysbiosis of the oral cavity. Nanoparticles, such as pH-responsive enzyme-mimic nanoparticles, have been developed to specifically target the acidic niches within the oral biofilm where tooth demineralization readily occurs, in effect controlling dental caries. Quaternary ammonium salts (QAS) such as dimethylaminododecyl methacrylate (DMADDM), when incorporated into dental adhesives or resin composite, have also shown excellent and durable antimicrobial activity and thus could effectively inhibit the occurrence of secondary caries. In addition, custom-designed small molecules, natural products and their derivatives, as well as basic amino acids such as arginine, have demonstrated ecological effects by modulating the virulence of the oral biofilm without universally killing the commensal bacteria, indicating a promising approach to the management of oral infectious diseases such as dental caries and periodontal diseases. This article aims to introduce these novel approaches that have shown potential in the control of oral biofilm. These methods may be utilized in the near future to effectively promote the clinical management of oral infectious diseases and thus benefit oral health.

Abstract
Currently, much has been published related to conventional resin-based composites and adhesives; however, little information is available about bioceramics-based restorative materials. The aim was to structure this topic into its component parts and to highlight the translational research that has been conducted up to the present time. A literature search was done from indexed journals up to September 2017. The main search terms used were based on dental resin-based composites, dental adhesives along with bioactive glass and the calcium phosphate family. The results showed that in 123 articles, amorphous calcium phosphate (39.83%), hydroxyapatite (23.5%), bioactive glass (16.2%), dicalcium phosphate (5.69%), monocalcium phosphate monohydrate (3.25%), and tricalcium phosphate (2.43%) have been used in restorative materials. Moreover, seven studies were found related to a newly developed commercial bioactive composite. The utilization of bioactive materials for tooth restorations can promote remineralization and a durable seal of the tooth-material interface.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE There has been no report on the effect of incorporating protein repellent 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) into a composite containing nanoparticles of amorphous calcium phosphate (NACP) on calcium (Ca) and phosphate (P) ion rechargeability. The objectives of this study were to develop a Ca and P ion-rechargeable and protein-repellent composite for the first time, and investigate the effects of MPC and NACP on mechanical properties, protein-repellency, anti-biofilm effects, and Ca and P ion recharge and re-release. METHODS NACP were synthesized using a spray-drying technique. The resin contained ethoxylated bisphenol A dimethacrylate (EBPADMA) and pyromellitic glycerol dimethacrylate (PMGDM). Three NACP composites were made with 0 (control), 1.5%, and 3% of MPC. NACP (20%) and glass particles (50%) were also added into the resin. Protein adsorption was measured using a micro-bicinchoninic acid (BCA) method. A human saliva microcosm biofilm model was used to determine biofilm metabolic activity, lactic acid, and colony-forming units (CFU). Ca and P ion recharge and re-release were measured using a spectrophotometric method. RESULTS Flexural strengths and moduli of CaP-rechargeable composites matched those of a commercial composite without CaP rechargeability (p>0.1). Adding 1.5% and 3% MPC reduced protein adsorption to 1/3 and 1/5, respectively, that of commercial composite (p<0.05). Adding 3% MPC suppressed biofilm metabolic activity and lactic acid production, and reduced biofilm CFU by nearly 2 logs. All three NACP composites had excellent ion rechargeability and higher levels of ion re-releases. One recharge yielded continuous ion release for 21 days. The release was maintained at the same level with increasing number of recharge cycles, indicating long-term ion release. Incorporation of MPC did not compromise the CaP ion rechargeability. SIGNIFICANCE Incorporating 3% MPC into NACP nanocomposite greatly reduced protein adsorption, biofilm growth and lactic acid, decreasing biofilm CFU by nearly 2 logs, without compromising Ca and P recharge. This protein-repellent NACP-MPC rechargeable composite with long-term remineralization is promising for tooth restorations to inhibit secondary caries.

Abstract
The real-time polymerization of light-curable experimental resin composites filled with amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) was monitored. Experimental composites were based on a 2,2-bis[4-(2-ethoxy-3-methacryloyloxy propoxy)phenyl]propane (Bis-EMA)/triethyleneglycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA)/2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) resin photoactivated by a camphorquinone/tertiary amine system. Four ACP composites were prepared, containing 40 wt% ACP and 0/10 wt% reinforcing fillers (barium glass and silica). Additionally, two control composites were prepared which contained only reinforcing fillers (40-50 wt%). The degree of conversion (DC) was monitored in real time using a Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer with an attenuated total reflectance accessory. During the light curing (1,219 mW cm-2 ) for either 20 or 40 s, infrared spectra were collected from the bottom of 2-mm-thick composite specimens at the rate of two spectra per second over 5 min. When cured for 40 s, the ACP composites attained a high DC (89.1%-92.4%), while the DC of control composites was significantly lower (53.5%-68.4%). All materials showed a lower DC for the shorter curing time (20 s) and various extents of 5-min postcure polymerization: 12.9%-21.5% for the ACP composites and 2.7%-5.2% for the control composites. The control composites reached the maximum reaction rate much earlier (4.1-4.3 s) and at lower DC (9.9%-10.4%) than did the ACP composites (17.4-22.0 s and 43.5%-49.3%, respectively).

Abstract
Current dental restorative materials are typically inert and replace missing tooth structures. This article reviews efforts in the development of a new generation of bioactive materials designed to not only replace the missing tooth volume but also possess therapeutic functions. Composites and bonding agents with remineralizing and antibacterial characteristics have shown promise in replacing lost minerals, inhibiting recurrent caries, neutralizing acids, repelling proteins, and suppressing biofilms and acid production. Furthermore, they have demonstrated a low cytotoxicity similar to current resins, with additional benefits to protect the dental pulp and promote tertiary dentin formation. This new class of bioactive materials shows promise in reversing lesions and inhibiting caries.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the polymerization kinetics and the degree of conversion (DC) of experimental resin composites with varying amount of bioactive glass 45S5 (BG). METHODS Experimental resin composites based on a photo-curable Bis-GMA/TEGDMA resin system were prepared. The composite series contained 0, 5, 10, 20, and 40 wt% of BG and reinforcing fillers up to the total filler amount of 70 wt%. Composite specimens were light cured with 1219 mW/cm2 for 20 or 40 s and their DC was monitored during 5 min at the data collection rate of 2 s-1 using attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR). RESULTS The 5-min DC values for experimental composites were in the range of 42.4-55.9% and 47.3-57.9% for curing times of 20 and 40 s, respectively. The differences in the 5-min DC between curing times of 20 s or 40 s became more pronounced in materials with higher BG amount. Within both curing times, a decreasing trend of the 5-min DC values was observed with the increasing percentage of BG fillers. The maximum polymerization rate also decreased consistently with the increasing BG amount. CONCLUSIONS Unsilanized BG fillers showed a dose-dependent inhibitory effect on polymerization rate and the DC. Extending the curing time from 20 to 40 s showed a limited potential to improve the DC of composites with higher BG amount. SIGNIFICANCE The observed inhibitory effect of BG fillers on the polymerization of resin composites may have a negative influence on mechanical properties and biocompatibility.

Abstract
Only two reports exist on drug-resistance of quaternary ammonium monomers against oral bacteria; both studies tested planktonic bacteria for 10 passages, and neither study tested biofilms or resins. The objectives of this study were to investigate the drug-resistance of Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus sanguinis and Streptococcus gordonii against dimethylaminohexadecyl methacrylate (DMAHDM), and to evaluate biofilms on resins with repeated exposures for 20 passages for the first time. DMAHDM, dimethylaminododecyl methacrylate (DMADDM) and chlorhexidine (CHX) were tested with planktonic bacteria. Biofilms were grown on a resin containing 3% DMAHDM. Minimum-inhibitory concentrations were measured. To detect drug-resistance, the survived bacteria from the previous passage were used as inoculum for the next passage for repeated exposures. S. gordonii developed drug-resistance against DMADDM and CHX, but not against DMAHDM. Biofilm colony-forming units (CFU) on DMAHDM-resin was reduced by 3–4 log; there was no difference from passages 1 to 20 (p > 0.1). No drug-resistance to DMAHDM was detected for all three bacterial species. In conclusion, this study showed that DMAHDM induced no drug-resistance, and DMAHDM-resin reduced biofilm CFU by 3–4 log, with no significant change from 1 to 20 passages. DMAHDM with potent antibacterial activities and no drug-resistance is promising for dental applications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Rechargeable calcium phosphate (CaP) composites were developed recently. However, none of the rechargeable CaP composites was antibacterial. The objectives of this study were to develop the first rechargeable CaP composite that was antibacterial, and to investigate the effects of adding dimethylaminohexadecyl methacrylate (DMAHDM) into rechargeable CaP composite on ion rechargeability and re-release as well as biofilm properties. METHODS DMAHDM was synthesized via a Menschutkin reaction. Nanoparticles of amorphous calcium phosphate (NACP) were synthesized using a spray-drying technique. The resin contained ethoxylated bisphenol A dimethacrylate (EBPADMA) and pyromellitic glycerol dimethacrylate (PMGDM). Two composites were fabricated: rechargeable NACP composite, and rechargeable NACP-DMAHDM composite. Mechanical properties and ion release and recharge were measured. A dental plaque microcosm biofilm model using saliva was tested. RESULTS Flexural strength and elastic modulus of rechargeable NACP and NACP-DMAHDM composites matched commercial control composite (p > 0.1). NACP-DMAHDM inhibited biofilm metabolic activity and lactic acid, and reduced biofilm colony-forming units (CFU) by 3-4 log. NACP and NACP-DMAHDM showed similar Ca and P ion recharge and re-release (p > 0.1). Therefore, adding DMAHDM did not compromise the ion rechargeability. One recharge yielded continuous release for 42 d. The release was maintained at the same level with increasing number of recharge cycles, indicating long-term ion release and remineralization capability. CONCLUSIONS The first CaP rechargeable and antibacterial composite was developed. Adding DMAHDM into the rechargeable NACP composite did not adversely affect the Ca and P ion release and recharge, and the composite had much less biofilm growth and lactic acid production, with CFU reduction by 3-4 log. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE This novel CaP rechargeable composite with long-term remineralization and antibacterial properties is promising for tooth restorations to inhibit caries.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES A new quaternary ammonium monomer (QAM), triethylaminododecyl acrylate (TEADDA) was synthesized, in which the position of the functional groups was different from that of dimethylaminododecyl methacrylate (DMADDM). The objectives were to: (1) investigate the effect of the changed position of the functional groups on the mechanical properties, anti-biofilm activity and biocompatibility of adhesive resin, and (2) study the anti-bacterial mechanism of QAM to improve the performance of the adhesive system modified by QAM. METHODS TEADDA and DMADDM were added into adhesives. Microtensile bond strength and surface charge density were measured. Multi-species biofilms were incubated on specimens for 16h, 48h and 72h and analyzed via MTT assay, lactic acid measurement and confocal laser scanning microscopy. The ratio of different species of bacteria was measured by real-time polymerase chain reaction. Cytotoxicity and biocompatibility were analyzed by eluents cytotoxicity test and histological images of H&E staining via an animal study in rats. RESULTS The mass fraction of TEDDA allowed to be added into adhesive was higher than that of DMADDM. However, even 10% TEADDA did not yield a strong anti-biofilm effect on biofilm growth, lactic acid production and bacteria compositions. TEADDA added into adhesives showed better mechanical properties but weaker anti-bacterial effect. There was no significant difference on cytotoxicity and biocompatibility between DMADDM and TEADDA. SIGNIFICANCE The study could be helpful for the investigation of the anti-caries mechanism of QAMs, the design of new QAMs and the improvement of the anti-caries activity of the modified dental materials.

Wu T, Li B, Zhou X, Hu Y, Zhang H, Huang Y, Xu HHK, Guo Q, Li M, Feng M, Peng X, Weir MD, Cheng L, Ren B. Evaluation of Novel Anticaries Adhesive in a Secondary Caries Animal Model. Caries Res 2017; 52:14-21. [PMID: 29232675 DOI: 10.1159/000481832] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/09/2017] [Accepted: 09/08/2017] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
We investigated the anticaries properties of an adhesive containing dimethylaminododecyl methacrylate (DMADDM) in vivo via a secondary caries animal model. Cavities were prepared in the maxillary first molars of Wistar rats. DMADDM-containing adhesives were applied on one side and commercial adhesives on the opposite side as a control. After a 3-week feeding period to induce secondary caries, the molars were harvested for the evaluation of the secondary caries. Lesion depth (LD) and mineral loss (ML) were measured via a micro-CT method, and a modified Keyes scoring method yielded scores for the caries lesions. Statistical analysis was divided into 2 parts: a correlation analysis between 2 evaluations with one-way ANOVA and a least-significant differences (LSD) test, and an evaluation of anticaries adhesives with a paired samples t test. The results showed that: (1) secondary caries was successfully produced in rats; (2) there was a correlation between the modified Keyes scoring method and micro-CT in the evaluation of the secondary caries; (3) the adhesive containing DMADDM significantly reduced both LD and ML (according to micro-CT), and also lowered the scores (based on the modified Keyes scoring method). This suggests that the novel DMADDM adhesive could perform an anticaries function in vivo via the secondary caries animal model which was also developed and testified in research. Secondary caries is one of the major reasons leading to the failure of caries restoration treatment. As a solution, anticaries adhesives perform well in biofilm inhibition in vitro. However, the lack of secondary caries animal models limits the evaluation of anticaries adhesives in vivo.

Antibiofilm properties of model composites containing quaternary ammonium methacrylates after surface texture modification. Dent Mater 2017; 33:1149-1156.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Investigate antimicrobial properties and surface texture of model composites with different concentration and alkyl chain length of quaternary ammonium monomers (QAS). METHODS Monomers derived from QAS salts with alkyl chain lengths of 12 carbons ((dimethylaminododecyl methacrylate) DMADDM) and 16 carbons (dimethylaminohexadecyl methacrylate-DMAHDM) were obtained from the reactions of their respective organo-halides with the tertiary amine 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA). DMADDM and DMAHDM were incorporated into model composite in concentrations of 5 or 10%, resulting the following groups: G12.5 (DMADDM 5%), G12.10 (DMADDM 10%), G16.5 (DMAHDM 5%), G16.10 (DMAHDM 10%) and GC (control). Biofilm viability, lactic acid production and surface roughness were analysed 24h after samples preparation (initial), repeated after toothbrush abrasion and after polishing simulation. Data were submitted to ANOVA and Tukey's test (p≤0.05). RESULTS The longer the molecular chain size of QAS and the higher its concentration (G16.10), the lower was the viability and the production of lactic acid by the biofilm. No differences were detected in initial roughness' measurements among groups. However, after abrasion, there was an increase of biofilm viability and lactic acid production. Composites containing QAS presented rougher surfaces compared to the CG. After polishing, biofilm viability and surface roughness were statistically similar for all groups. Nevertheless, DMAHDM at 10% showed reduction in lactic acid production. SIGNIFICANCE Chain length and concentration of QAS influenced biofilm development and production of lactic acid. Longer chains and higher concentrations of QAS promoted better antimicrobial properties. Changes in surface texture caused by abrasion, decreased antibiofilm properties.

Abstract
Almost half of dental restorations have failed in less than 10 years, and approximately 60% of practice time has been consumed to replace these dental restorations. As such, contemporary dentin adhesives should be modified to treat secondary caries and prevent the degradation of adhesive–dentin interfaces. To achieve this goal, we developed a versatile therapeutic adhesive in the present study by incorporating quercetin, which is a naturally derived plant extract, into a commercial adhesive at three concentrations (100, 500 and 1000 µg/mL). An unmodified adhesive served as a control. The antibacterial ability on Streptococcus mutans biofilm, conversion degree, microtensile bond strength, failure modes, in situ zymography, nanoleakage expression and cytotoxicity of quercetin-doped adhesive were comprehensively evaluated. Results showed that the quercetin-doped adhesive (500 µg/mL) preserved its bonding properties against collagenase ageing and inhibited the growth of S. mutans biofilm. Efficient bonding interface sealing ability, matrix metalloproteinase inhibition and acceptable biocompatibility were also achieved. Thus, a simple, safe and workable strategy was successfully developed to produce therapeutic adhesives for the extension of the service life of adhesive restorations.

Abstract
The objective of this work was to determine the antimicrobial and antibiofilm properties of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) supplemented with bismuth lipophilic nanoparticles (BisBAL NPs). The antimicrobial activity of the composite MTA-BisBAL NPs was determined by the disk diffusion assay, while antibiofilm activity was analyzed by fluorescence microscopy. The cytotoxicity of MTA-BisBAL NPs was determined on human gingival fibroblasts by optical microscopy and crystal violet staining. MTA-BisBAL NPs inhibited the growth of Enterococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli, and Candida albicans and also detached the biofilm of fluorescent E. faecalis after 24 h of treatment. The addition of BisBAL nanoparticles did not significantly modify the physical properties of MTA, and cytotoxicity was not observed when MTA-BisBAL NPs was added on human gingival fibroblasts. Altogether these results suggest that BisBAL nanoparticles provide antimicrobial and antibiofilm activities to MTA while it retained their biophysical properties without cause side effects on human gingival fibroblasts.

Abstract
Restorative composites have evolved significantly since they were first introduced in the early 1960s, with most of the development concentrating on the filler technology. This has led to improved mechanical properties, notably wear resistance, and has expanded the use of composites to larger posterior restorations. On the organic matrix side, concerns over the polymerization stress and the potential damage to the bonded interface have dominated research in the past 20 y, with many "low-shrinkage" composites being launched commercially. The lack of clinical correlation between the use of these materials and improved restoration outcomes has shifted the focus more recently to improving materials' resistance to degradation in the oral environment, caused by aqueous solvents and salivary enzymes, as well as biofilm development. Antimicrobial and ester-free monomers have been developed in the recent past, and evidence is mounting for their potential benefit. This article reviews literature on the newest materials currently on the market and provides an outlook for the future developments needed to improve restoration longevity past the average 10 y.

Abstract
Regeneration of infected tissues is a globally challenging issue in medicine and dentistry. Common clinical therapies involving a complete removal of infected areas together with a treatment of antimicrobial drugs are often suboptimal. Biomaterials with anti-bacterial and pro-regenerative potential can offer a solution to this. Here we design a novel nanocarrier based on a mesoporous silicate-calcium glass by doping with Ag ions and simultaneously loading antimicrobial drugs onto mesopores. The nanocarriers could controllably release multiple ions (silver, calcium, and silicate) and drugs (tetracycline or chlorohexidine) to levels therapeutically relevant, and effectively internalize to human dental stem cells (∼90%) with excellent viability, ultimately stimulating odontogenic differentiation. The release of Ag ions had profound effects on most oral bacteria species through a membrane rupture, and the antibiotic delivery complemented the antibacterial functions by inhibiting protein synthesis. Of note, the nanocarriers easily anchored to bacteria membrane helping the delivery of molecules to an intra-bacterial space. When administered to an infected dentin-pulp defect in rats, the therapeutic nanocarriers effectively regenerated tissues following a complete bacterial killing. This novel concept of multiple-delivering ions and drug can be extensively applied to other infectious tissues that require relayed biological functions (anti-bacterial then pro-regenerative) for successful healing.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES White spot lesions due to biofilm acid-induced enamel demineralization are prevalent in orthodontic treatments. The aim of this study was to develop a novel bioactive multifunctional cement with protein-repellent, antibacterial and remineralizing capabilities, and investigate the effects on enamel hardness and lesion depth in vitro for the first time. MATERIALS AND METHODS 2-Methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC), dimethylaminohexadecyl methacrylate (DMAHDM), and nanoparticles of amorphous calcium phosphate (NACP) were incorporated into a resin-modified glass ionomer (RMGI). Extracted human premolars had brackets bonded via four groups: (1) Transbond XT (TB), (2) RMGI (GC Ortho LC), (3) RMGI+MPC+DMAHDM, (4) RMGI+MPC+DMAHDM+NACP. Demineralization was induced via a dental plaque microcosm biofilm model. Samples were tested using polarized light microscopy (PLM) for lesion depth. Enamel hardness was tested for different groups. RESULTS Incorporating MPC, DMAHDM and NACP did not affect enamel bond strength. "RMGI+MPC+DMAHDM+NACP" group had the least lesion depth in enamel (p<0.05). Groups with NACP had the highest enamel hardness (p<0.05). Mineral loss (ΔS) in enamel for NACP group was about one third that for RMGI control. "RMGI+MPC+DMAHDM" had greater effect on demineralization-inhibition, compared to RMGI and TB controls. "RMGI+MPC+DMAHDM+NACP" was more effective in protecting enamel prisms from dissolution by biofilm acids, compared to RMGI and TB control groups. CONCLUSION The Novel "RMGI+MPC+DMAHDM+NACP" cement substantially reduced enamel demineralization adjacent to orthodontic brackets, yielding much less lesion depth and greater enamel hardness under biofilm acid attacks than commercial controls. The clinical significance is that the novel multi-agent (RMGI+MPC+DMAHDM+NACP) method is promising for a wide range of preventive and restorative applications to combat caries.

Abstract
Dental caries is prevalent, and secondary caries causes restoration failures. This article reviews recent studies on developing a new generation of bioactive resins with anticaries properties. Extensive effects were made to develop new antimicrobial composites, bonding agents, and other resins containing quaternary ammonium methacrylates to suppress plaque buildup and bacterial acid production. The effects of alkyl chain length and charge density and the antimicrobial mechanisms for chlorhexidine, nano-silver, quaternary ammonium methacrylates, and protein-repellent agents were discussed. Synergistic effects of contact-killing and protein-repellent properties were shown to yield the greatest biofilm-inhibition effects. The combination of antimicrobial, protein-repellent, and calcium phosphate nanoparticle remineralization was suggested to provide maximal anticaries effects. In addition, for use orally, cytotoxicity and biocompatibility were important considerations for the new bioactive materials. Furthermore, rather than kill all bacteria, it would be more desirable to modulate the oral biofilm compositions via bioactive resins to suppress cariogenic/pathogenic species and promote benign species. For widespread clinical use of the new antimicrobial and therapeutic materials, whether they would induce bacterial drug resistance needs to be determined, which requires further study. Nonetheless, the new generation of bioactive anticaries resins with therapeutic and biofilm acid-inhibiting properties has the potential to substantially benefit oral health.

Abstract
Microbial infections affect humans worldwide. Many quaternary ammonium compounds have been synthesized that are not only antibacterial, but also possess antifungal, antiviral and anti-matrix metalloproteinase capabilities. Incorporation of quaternary ammonium moieties into polymers represents one of the most promising strategies for preparation of antimicrobial biomaterials. Various polymerization techniques have been employed to prepare antimicrobial surfaces with quaternary ammonium functionalities; in particular, syntheses involving controlled radical polymerization techniques enable precise control over macromolecular structure, order and functionality. Although recent publications report exciting advances in the biomedical field, some of these technological developments have also been accompanied by potential toxicological and antimicrobial resistance challenges. Recent evidenced-based data on the biomedical applications of antimicrobial quaternary ammonium-containing biomaterials that are based on randomized human clinical trials, the golden standard in contemporary medicinal science, are included in the present review. This should help increase visibility, stimulate debates and spur conversations within a wider scientific community on the implications and plausibility for future developments of quaternary ammonium-based antimicrobial biomaterials.

Abstract
Nanotechnology has paved multiple ways in preventing, reversing or restoring dental caries which is one of the major health care problems. Nanotechnology aided in processing variety of nanomaterials with innovative dental applications. Some showed antimicrobial effect helping in the preventive stage. Others have remineralizing potential intercepting early lesion progression as nanosized calcium phosphate, carbonate hydroxyapatite nanocrystals, nanoamorphous calcium phosphate and nanoparticulate bioactive glass particularly with provision of self-assembles protein that furnish essential role in biomimetic repair. The unique size of nanomaterials makes them fascinating carriers for dental products. Thus, it is recentlyclaimedthat fortifying the adhesives with nanomaterials that possess biological meritsdoes not only enhance the mechanical and physical properties of the adhesives, but also help to attain and maintain a durable adhesive joint and enhanced longevity. Accordingly, this review will focus on the current status and the future implications of nanotechnology in preventive and adhesive dentistry.

Abstract
The mechanical properties and anti-caries effect of a novel anti-caries adhesive containing poly (amidoamine) dendrimer (PAMAM) and dimethylaminododecyl methacrylate (DMADDM) were investigated for the first time. Microtensile bond strength and surface charge density were measured for the novel anti-caries adhesives. Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus sanguinis, and Streptococcus gordonii were chosen to form three-species biofilms. Lactic acid assay, MTT (3-(4,5-Dimethyl-thiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay, exopolysaccharide staining and live/dead staining were performed to study anti-biofilm effect of the adhesive. The TaqMan realtime polymerase chain reaction was used to study the proportion change in three-species biofilms of different groups. The Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) was used to observe the remineralization effect of PAMAM and DMADDM. The results showed that incorporating PAMAM and DMADDM into adhesive had no adverse effect on the dentin bond strength. The 1% PAMAM and 5% DMADDM adhesive group showed anti-biofilm properties and developed a healthier biofilm with a lower chance of inducing dental caries. Combination of 1% PAMAM and 5% DMADDM solution maintained remineralization capability on dentin, similar to that using 1% PAMAM alone. In conclusion, the adhesive containing PAMAM and DMADDM had strong antimicrobial properties and biological remineralization capabilities, and is promising for anti-caries clinical applications.

OBJECTIVE Deterioration of mechanical strength for the dental composite containing ionic bactericidal compounds restricts the widespread utilization of this class of useful materials. This problem is originated from the reduction of the intermolecular interaction of polymeric network due to plasticization effect of absorbed water molecules penetrated between the chain segments. The main goal of this study is the synthesis of the highly efficient bactericidal additive with low hydrophilicity and consequently the least adverse effect on the final mechanical strength of the dental composite. METHODS The bactericidal 1, 2, 3-triazolium functional groups were chemically anchored on the surface of hydrophobic POSS nanoparticles (Triazolium-POSS) and incorporated into a dental restorative system composed of a ternary thiol-allyl ether-methacrylate resin and glass fillers. A similar system was also prepared, in which the POSS additive was replaced with quaternized dimethyl aminoethyl methacrylate monomer (DMAEMA-BC). The chemical structure of POSS derivatives was evaluated by 1HNMR and FTIR spectra. The water uptake of dental composites was evaluated at days 1 and 14 after immersion into water. The bactericidal activity of composite specimens against Streptococcus mutans (ATCC 35668) was determined based on ASTM E 2180 - 07. The flexural properties of samples were investigated through three-point bending assay and the shrinkage-strain of photo-cured resins was measured using the bonded-disk technique. The degree of conversion (DC %) of methacrylate functions was followed by FTIR spectroscopy. MTT assay was performed to investigate the cytocompatibility of samples. RESULTS Regardless of the partial increase in water uptake for Triazolium-POSS-containing sample, this parameter was much favor than the composite made from DMAEMA-BC. Therefore, the lower decline in flexural properties was recorded under the wet condition for the former system. Incorporation of Triazolium-POSS had no significant effect on shrinkage strain and cytocompatibility of composite specimen, meanwhile, a higher degree of conversion of methacrylate functional groups was recorded. The Triazolium-POSS-containing nano composite showed significantly higher bactericidal activity against Streptococcus mutans than another studied model system. SIGNIFICANCE The new derivative of bactericidal POSS nanoparticles decorated with 1, 2, 3-Triazolium moieties is a highly efficient bactericidal compound. If Triazolium-POSS is incorporated into a proper dental resin formulation, it can provide a strong bactericidal activity for dental materials; in the meantime, it leads to minimum deterioration of their mechanical strength due to its low water uptake.
