Abstract
INTRODUCTION External root resorption following avulsion injury is a complex process wherein differentiation of Macrophages (Mφ) to multinucleated osteoclasts is temporally regulated by resident periodontal fibroblasts (PDLF). The current study aims to assess the effect of engineered bioactive chitosan nanoparticles (CSNP), sustained released Dexamethasone conjugated CSNP (CS-DEX) and CSNP functionalised with photosensitizer Rose Bengal (CSRB) for application in root resorption using an in-vitro PDLF-Mφ direct coculture model, and in-vivo delayed reimplantation model. METHODS PDLF-Mφ direct coculture system was exposed to LPS, MCSF, RANKL with or without CSNP/CS-DEX for 7 days. Clastic differentiation was assessed by tartrate resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining on day 7. On day 2 and 7, immunofluorescence analysis was done to assess the expression of Mφ polarization markers (CD80, CD206), multinucleation markers (NFATc1, STAT6) in Mφ and matricellular protein periostin in PDLF and cytokine profiling in cell culture supernatants. Delayed replantation model with extraoral air dry / LPS exposure for 1h followed by root surface treatment with CS-DEX/CSRB was used in Wistar rats. After 21 days, rats were euthanized for histological and immunofluorescence analysis. Statistical analysis One-way ANOVA with Tukey's multiple comparisons was used to analyze the data (p<0.05). RESULTS CS-DEX significantly reduced TRAP+ multinucleated cells and CSNP treatment showed no TRAP+ cells. Immunofluorescence analysis showed that CSNP/CS-DEX reduced CD80, NFATc1 and STAT6 expression and increased periostin as expressed by fluorescence intensity. CSNP/CS-DEX significantly reduced TNFα, MMP9 and increased IL10, TGFβ1. OPG was upregulated only by CSNP. Root surface treatment in delayed replantation model showed that CS-DEX and CSRB substantially reduced the degree of resorption and ankylosis. Further, CD80, CD206, MMP2 expression in groups with root surface treatment with CS-DEX and CSRB was lower than airdry/ LPS group and similar to healthy control and NFATc1, STAT6, MMP9 expression were lower than healthy control. CONCLUSION The engineered nanosized immunomodulatory bioactive materials chitosan nanoparticles functionalised with photosensitizer and dexamethasone effectively reduced the clastic differentiation of Mφ in in-vitro coculture and minimized the resorption and ankylosis in a delayed reimplantation model. These biomaterials have the potential to serve as root modification agents, promoting favourable healing outcomes in cases of dental avulsion.

Abstract
An injectable hydrogel formulation is developed utilizing low- and high-molecular-weight chitosan (LCH and HCH) incorporated with curcumin and α-tocopherol-loaded liposomes (Lip/Cur+Toc). Cur and Toc releases are delayed within the hydrogels. The injectability of hydrogels is proved via rheological analyses. In vitro studies are conducted using human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) and human gingival fibroblasts (hGFs) to examine the biological performance of the hydrogels toward endodontics and periodontics, respectively. The viability of hDPSCs treated with the hydrogels with Lip/Cur+Toc is the highest till day 14, compared to the neat hydrogels. During odontogenic differentiation tests, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) enzyme activity of hDPSCs is induced in the Cur-containing groups. Biomineralization is enhanced mostly with Lip/Cur+Toc incorporation. The viability of hGFs is the highest in HCH combined with Lip/Cur+Toc while wound healing occurs almost 100% in both (Lip/Cur+Toc@LCH and Lip/Cur+Toc@HCH) after 2 days. Antioxidant activity of Lip/Cur+Toc@LCH on hGFs is significantly the highest among the groups. Antimicrobial tests demonstrate that Lip/Cur+Toc@LCH is more effective against Escherichia coli whereas so is Lip/Cur+Toc@HCH against Staphylococcus aureus. The antimicrobial mechanism of the hydrogels is investigated for the first time through various computational models. LCH and HCH loaded with Lip/Cur+Toc are promising candidates with multi-functional features for endodontics and periodontics.

J Mech Behav Biomed Mater 2024; 154:106498. [PMID: 38581962 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2024.106498] [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: 01/04/2024] [Revised: 02/22/2024] [Accepted: 03/06/2024] [Indexed: 04/08/2024]
Abstract
Chitosan (CS) and phloroglucinol (PhG), two extracts abundantly found in marine life, were investigated for their ability to biomodify demineralized dentin by enhancing collagen crosslinks and improving dentin extracellular matrix (ECM) mechanical and biochemical stability. Dentin obtained from non-carious extracted human molars were demineralized with phosphoric acid. Baseline Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectra, apparent flexural elastic modulus (AE) and dry mass (DM) of each specimen were independently acquired. Specimens were randomly incubated for 5 min into either ultrapure water (no-treatment), 1% glutaraldehyde (GA), 1% CS or 1% PhG. Water and GA were used, respectively, as a negative and positive control for collagen crosslinks. Specimens' post-treatment FTIR spectra, AE, and DM were obtained and compared with correspondent baseline measurements. Additionally, the host-derived proteolytic activity of dentin ECM was assessed using hydroxyproline assay (HYP) and spectrofluorometric analysis of a fluorescent-quenched substrate specific for matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Finally, the bond strength of an etch-and-rinse adhesive was evaluated after application of marine compounds as non-rinsing dentin primers. Dentin specimens FTIR spectral profile changed remarkably, and their AE increased significantly after treatment with marine compounds. DM variation, HYP assay and fluorogenic substrate analysis concurrently indicated the biodegradation of CS- and PhG-treated specimens was significantly lesser in comparison with untreated specimens. CS and PhG treatments enhanced biomechanical/biochemical stability of demineralized dentin. These novel results show that PhG is a primer with the capacity to biomodify demineralized dentin, hence rendering it less susceptible to biodegradation by host-proteases.

Abstract
Chronic wounds such as diabetic ulcers are a major complication in diabetes caused by hyperglycemia, prolonged inflammation, high oxidative stress, and bacterial bioburden. Bioactive biopolymers have been found to have a biological response in wound tissue microenvironments and are used for developing advanced tissue engineering strategies to enhance wound healing. These biopolymers possess innate bioactivity and are biodegradable, with favourable mechanical properties. However, their bioactivity is highly dependent on their structural properties, which need to be carefully considered while developing wound healing strategies. Biopolymers such as alginate, chitosan, hyaluronic acid, and collagen have previously been used in wound healing solutions but the modulation of structural/physico-chemical properties for differential bioactivity have not been the prime focus. Factors such as molecular weight, degree of polymerization, amino acid sequences, and hierarchical structures can have a spectrum of immunomodulatory, anti-bacterial, and anti-oxidant properties that could determine the fate of the wound. The current narrative review addresses the structure-function relationship in bioactive biopolymers for promoting healing in chronic wounds with emphasis on diabetic ulcers. This review highlights the need for characterization of the biopolymers under research while designing biomaterials to maximize the inherent bioactive potency for better tissue regeneration outcomes, especially in the context of diabetic ulcers.

Abstract
AIM Endodontic irrigants may affect the mechanical and chemical properties of dentine. This study evaluated the effects of various final irrigation protocols including the use of chitosan nanoparticle (CSnp) and cross-linking with genipin on the (1) mechanical and (2) chemical properties of dentine against enzymatic degradation. METHODOLOGY CSnp was synthesized and characterized considering physiochemical parameters and stability. The root canals of 90 single-rooted teeth were prepared and irrigated with NaOCl. Dentine discs were obtained and divided into groups according to the following irrigation protocols: Group NaOCl+EDTA, Group NaOCl+CSnp, Group NaOCl+EDTA+CSnp, Group NaOCl+CSnp+Genipin, Group NaOCl+EDTA+CSnp+Genipin and Group distilled water. (1) Mechanical changes were determined by microhardness analysis using Vickers-tester. (2) Chemical changes were determined by evaluating molecular and elemental compositions of dentine using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis and scanning electron microscope (SEM)/energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) analysis, respectively. All analyses were repeated after the discs were kept in collagenase for 24 h. Data were analysed with repeated measures analysis of variance and Bonferroni correction for microhardness analysis, and Kruskal-Wallis and Wilcoxon tests for FTIR and SEM/EDS analyses (p = .05). RESULTS (1) Collagenase application did not have a negative effect on microhardness only in Group NaOCl+EDTA+CSnp+Genipin when compared with the post-irrigation values (p > .05). Post-collagenase microhardness of Group NaOCl+EDTA+CSnp and Group NaOCl+CSnp+Genipin was similar to the initial microhardness (p > .05). (2) After collagenase, Amide III/PO 4 3 - ratio presented no change in Group NaOCl+EDTA+CSnp, Group NaOCl+CSnp+Genipin and Group NaOCl+EDTA+CSnp+Genipin (p > .05), while decreased in other groups (p < .05). Collagenase did not affectCO 3 2 - /PO 4 3 - ratio in the groups (p > .05). There were no changes in the groups in terms of elemental level before and after collagenase application (p > .05). CONCLUSIONS CSnp and genipin positively affected the microhardness and molecular composition of dentine. This effect was more pronounced when CSnp was used after EDTA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effect of bromelain associated with Biosilicate on the bond strength (BS) of a universal adhesive system to sound (SD) and caries-affected dentin (CAD), and on the proteolytic activity. MATERIALS AND METHODS Cavities were prepared in 360 molars, half submitted to cariogenic challenge. Teeth were separated into groups (n=20): Control-No treatment; CHX-0.12% chlorhexidine; NaOCl-5% sodium hypochlorite; Br5%-5% bromelain; Br10%-10% bromelain; Bio-10% Biosilicate; NaOClBio-NaOCl+Bio; Br5%Bio-Br5%+Bio; Br10%Bio-Br10%+Bio. Following treatments, the adhesive system was applied, and cavities were restored. Samples were sectioned into sticks and stored at 37 °C for 24 h, 6 months, and 1 year. Microtensile BS (2-way ANOVA, Bonferroni's test, α=0.05), fracture patterns (SEM), and adhesive interfaces (TEM) were evaluated. Bacterial collagenase assay and in situ zymography were performed. RESULTS In CAD, Br10% presented higher BS (p=0.0208) than Br5%Bio. Br5% presented higher BS (p=0.0033) after 6 months than after 24 h; and association of treatments, higher BS (p<0.05) after aging than after 24 h. Mixed fractures were the most prevalent. Association of treatments promoted a more uniform hybrid layer with embedded Bio particles. Experimental groups presented lower (p<0.0001) relative fluorescence units than Control. Bromelain, associated or not with Bio, showed collagenolytic degradation. CONCLUSIONS Bromelain associated with Biosilicate did not affect the BS to SD. In CAD, Br5%Bio decreased immediate BS but had no long-term influence. This association decreased the proteolytic activity. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Bromelain and Biosilicate may enhance the longevity of adhesive restorations by inhibiting endogenous proteases.

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to design and evaluate a series of porous hydrogels by considering three independent variables using the Box-Behnken method. Accordingly, concentrations of the constituent macromolecules of the hydrogels, Polyvinyl Alcohol and Gelatin, and concentration of the crosslinking agent are varied to fabricate sixteen different porous samples utilizing the lyophilization process. Subsequently, the porous hydrogels are subjected to a battery of tests, including Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy, morphology assessment, pore-size study, porosimetry, uniaxial compression, and swelling measurements. Additionally, in-vitro cell assessments are performed by culturing mouse fibroblast cells (L-929) on the hydrogels, where viability, proliferation, adhesion, and morphology of the L-929 cells are monitored over 24, 48, and 72 h to evaluate the biocompatibility of these biomaterials. To better understand the mechanical behavior of the hydrogels under compressive loadings, Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) are implemented to predict and capture their compressive stress-strain responses as a function of the constituent materials' concentrations and duration of the performed mechanical tests. Overall, this study emphasizes the importance of considering multiple variables in the design of porous hydrogels, provides a comprehensive evaluation of their mechanical and biological properties, and, particularly, implements DNNs in the prediction of the hydrogels' stress-strain responses.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a non-apoptotic cell death pathway characterized by the accumulation of lipid-peroxy radicals within the affected cells. Here, we investigate the synergistic capacity of sorafenib (SOR) and simvastatin (SIM) to trigger ferroptosis for cancer therapy. For precise in-vivo delivery, SOR + SIM was ratiometrically loaded in bovine serum albumin nanoparticles (BSA-NPs) modified with 4-carboxy phenylboronic acid (CPBA). The developed CPBA-BSA(SOR + SIM)-NPs revealed size of 175.2 ± 12.8 nm, with PDI of 0.22 ± 0.03 and Z-potential of -29.6 ± 4.8 mV. Significantly, CPBA-BSA(SOR + SIM)-NPs exhibited > 2 and > 5-fold reduction in IC50 values compared to individual SOR and SIM treatments respectively, in all tested cell lines. Moreover, CPBA-BSA(SOR + SIM)-NPs treated cells exhibited decrease in glutathione levels, increase in malonaldehyde levels and depolarization of mitochondrial membrane potential (JC-1 assay). Pharmacokinetic analysis revealed enhanced AUC0-∞ and MRT levels for SOR and SIM when administered as CPBA-BSA(SOR + SIM)-NPs compared to free drugs. Crucially, in in-vivo experiments, CPBA-BSA(SOR + SIM)-NPs led to a significant reduction in tumor volume compared to various control groups. Histological and biomarker analyses underscore their biocompatibility for clinical applications. In conclusion, this study highlights the potential of CPBA-BSA(SOR + SIM)-NPs as a promising strategy for inducing ferroptosis in cancer cells, concurrently improving drug delivery and therapeutic efficacy. This approach opens new avenues in cancer treatment.

In vitro assessment of antimicrobial potential of low molecular weight chitosan and its ability to mechanically reinforce and control endogenous proteolytic activity of dentine. Int Endod J 2023; 56:1337-1349. [PMID: 37584496 DOI: 10.1111/iej.13962] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2023] [Revised: 07/25/2023] [Accepted: 07/28/2023] [Indexed: 08/17/2023]
Abstract
AIMS Chitosan-based biomaterials exhibit several properties of biological interest for endodontic treatment. Herein, a low molecular weight chitosan (CH) solution was tested for its antimicrobial activity against Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis) and effects on dentine structure. METHODOLOGY The root canal of 27 extracted uniradicular teeth were biomechanically prepared, inoculated with a suspension of E. faecalis and randomly assigned to be irrigated with either 5.25% sodium hypochlorite (NaClO), 0.2% CH or sterile ultrapure water (W). Bacteriologic samples were collected from root canals and quantified for of E. faecalis colony-forming units (CFUs). The effectiveness of CH over E. faecalis biofilms was further measured using the MBEC Assay®. Additionally, dentine beams and dentine powder were obtained, respectively, from crowns and roots of 20 extracted third molars. Dentine samples were treated or not with 17% EDTA and immersed in either CH or W for 1 min. The effects of CH on dentine structure were evaluated by assessment of the modulus of elasticity, endogenous proteolytic activity and biochemical modifications. RESULTS The number of E. faecalis CFUs was significantly lower for samples irrigated with CH and NaClO. No significant differences were found between CH and NaClO treatments. Higher modulus of elasticity and lower proteolytic activity were reported for dentine CH-treated specimens. Chemical interaction between CH and dentine was observed for samples treated or not with EDTA. CONCLUSIONS Present findings suggest that CH could be used as an irrigant during root canal treatment with the triple benefit of reducing bacterial activity, mechanically reinforcing dentine and inhibiting dentine proteolytic activity.

Abstract
The design and development of nanomaterials capable of penetrate cancer cells is fundamental when anticancer therapy is involved. The use of collagenase (Col) is useful since this enzyme can degrade collagen, mainly present in the tumor extracellular matrix. However, its use is often limited since collagenase suffers from inactivation and short half-life. Use of recombinant ultrapure collagenase or carrier systems for their delivery are among the strategies adopted to increase the enzyme stability. Herein, based on the more stability showed by recombinant enzymes and the possibility to use them in anticancer therapy, we propose a novel strategy to further increase their stability by using halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) as carrier. ColG and ColH were supramolecularly loaded onto HNTs and used as fillers for Veegum gels. The systems could be used for potential local administration of collagenases for solid tumor treatment. All techniques adopted for characterization showed that halloysite interacts with collagenases in different ways depending with the Col considered. Furthermore, the hydrogels showed a very slow release of the collagenases within 24 h. Finally, biological assays were performed by studying the digestion of a type-I collagen matrix highlighting that once released the Col still possessed some activity. Thus we developed carrier systems that could further increase the high recombinant collagenases stability, preventing their inactivation in future in vivo applications for potential local tumor treatment.

Abstract
The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-carbodiimide (EDC) and chitosan (CHI) on the adhesive interface of resin cements to root dentine. Forty-five upper canines were sectioned, endodontically treated, prepared and divided into three groups according to dentine treatment (distilled water-DW, CHI 0.2% and EDC 0.5) and in three subgroups according to resin cement: RelyX ARC, Panavia F 2.0 or RelyX U200. Slices were obtained, with five slices of each third submitted to the analysis of the adaptation of the adhesive interface through scores and the perimeter with gaps in confocal laser scanning microscopy and one slice of each third later evaluated qualitatively in scanning electron microscopy. The results were analyzed using with Kruskal-Wallis and Spearman correlation tests. There was no difference in adaptation for the different resin cements (p = .438). EDC presented better adaptation when compared to the groups treated with DW and CHI (p < .001), while the CHI and DW presented similar adaptation values (p = .365). No difference was observed in the perimeter referring to the gap areas for the different resin cements (p = .510). EDC showed a lower percentage of perimeters with gaps when compared to CHI (p < .001), with the percentage of perimeter with gaps of teeth treated with CHI being lower than DW (p < .001). A positive correlation coefficient equal to 0.763 was obtained between the perimeter with gaps and the adaptation data of the adhesive interface (p < .001). EDC resulted in better adaptation of the adhesive interface and a lower percentage of perimeters with gaps compared to chitosan.

Abstract
Dental caries is a chronic, progressive disease caused by plaque, influenced by multiple factors and can damage the hard tissues of the teeth. In severe cases, it can also lead to the onset and development of other oral diseases, seriously affecting patients' quality of life. The creation of effective biomaterials for the prevention and treatment of dental caries has become one of the relentless goals of many researchers, with a focus on inhibiting the production of cariogenic plaque and retaining beneficial bacteria, guiding and promoting the reconstruction of dental hard tissues, and delaying the progression of existing caries. Chitosan is a natural cationic polymer extracted from the shells of crustaceans and shellfish. Since its discovery, chitosan has shown to have various biological functions such as antibacterial, biomimetic mineralization, drug delivery, etc., making it one of the most promising biopolymers for new caries prevention and materials of prostheses. Therefore, this article provides an overview of the anti-caries applications of chitosan, which mainly covers the basic research on the application of chitosan in caries prevention and treatment since 2010, with a focus on categorizing and summarizing the following characteristics of chitosan as a caries prevention material, including its antibacterial effect, biomimetic mineralization effect and delivery ability of caries prevention drugs and vaccines. It also explores the limitations of current research on chitosan as a caries prevention biomaterial and the difficulties that need to be focused on and overcome in the future to provide theoretical reference for the clinical implementation of chitosan as a caries prevention biomaterial.

Abstract
This study evaluated the effect of chitosan on dentin treatment after selective removal of caries lesions with Er:YAG laser in reducing Streptococcus mutans, as well as its effect on the performed restorations. The sample consisted of children (aged 7 to 9 years) with active carious lesions and dentin cavitation located on the occlusal surface of deciduous molars. Eighty teeth were randomly distributed into 4 groups according to the caries removal method: Er:YAG laser (250 mJ/4 Hz) or bur and dentin surface treatment: 2.5% chitosan solution or distilled water. The bacterial load of caries-affected dentin was quantified by counting CFU/mg (n = 10). The teeth were restored and evaluated at 7 days, 6 months, and 12 months using modified USPHS criteria (n = 20). Microbiological data was analyzed by Mann-Whitney and clinical analyses were done using Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn test (α = 0.05). The results showed that the Er:YAG laser significantly reduced the amount of Streptococcus mutans (p = 0.0068). After dentin treatment with chitosan, there was a significant reduction in the amount of Streptococcus mutans for both removal methods (p = 0.0424). For the retention and secondary caries criteria, no significant differences were observed along the evaluated time (p > 0.05). The laser-treated group was rated "bravo" for discoloration (p = 0.0089) and marginal adaptation (p = 0.0003) after 6 and 12 months compared to baseline. The Er:YAG laser reduced the amount of Streptococcus mutans and the chitosan showed an additional antibacterial effect. After 1 year, the Er:YAG laser-prepared teeth, regardless of the dentin treatment, showed greater discoloration and marginal adaptation of the restorations.

Abstract
Biomimetic mineralization emphasizes reversing the process of dental caries through bio-inspired strategies, in which mineralization promotion and collagen protection are equally important. In this study, carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC) was deemed as an analog of glycosaminoglycan for biomimetic modification of collagen, both of the mineralization facilitation and collagen protection effect were evaluated. Experiments were carried out simultaneously on two-dimensional monolayer reconstituted collagen model, three-dimensional reconstituted collagen model and demineralized dentin model. In three models, CMC was successfully cross-linked onto collagen utilizing biocompatible 1-Ethyl-3(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide hydrochloride and N-hydroxy sulfosuccinimide sodium salt to achieve biomodification. Results showed that CMC biomodification increased collagen's hydrophilicity, calcium absorption capacity and thermal degradation resistance. In demineralized dentin model, the activity of endogenous matrix metalloproteinases was significantly inhibited by CMC biomodification. Furthermore, CMC biomodification significantly improved cross-linking and intrafibrillar mineralization of collagen, especially in the two-dimensional monolayer reconstituted collagen model. This study provided a biomimetic mineralization strategy with comprehensive consideration of collagen protection, and enriched the application of chitosan-based materials in dentistry.

Abstract
In recent years, the antimicrobial activity of chitosan-based hydrogels has been at the forefront of research in wound healing and the prevention of medical device contamination. Anti-infective therapy is a serious challenge given the increasing prevalence of bacterial resistance to antibiotics as well as their ability to form biofilms. Unfortunately, hydrogel resistance and biocompatibility do not always meet the demands of biomedical applications. As a result, the development of double-network hydrogels could be a solution to these issues. This review discusses the most recent techniques for creating double-network chitosan-based hydrogels with improved structural and functional properties. The applications of these hydrogels are also discussed in terms of tissue recovery after injuries, wound infection prevention, and biofouling of medical devices and surfaces for pharmaceutical and medical applications.

Abstract
Spinal cord injury (SCI)-related disabilities are a serious problem in the modern society. Further, the treatment of SCI is highly challenging and is urgently required in clinical practice. Research on nerve tissue engineering is an emerging approach for improving the treatment outcomes of SCI. Chitosan (CS) is a cationic polysaccharide derived from natural biomaterials. Chitosan has been found to exhibit excellent biological properties, such as nontoxicity, biocompatibility, biodegradation, and antibacterial activity. Recently, chitosan-based biomaterials have attracted significant attention for SCI repair in nerve tissue engineering applications. These studies revealed that chitosan-based biomaterials have various functions and mechanisms to promote SCI repair, such as promoting neural cell growth, guiding nerve tissue regeneration, delivering nerve growth factors, and as a vector for gene therapy. Chitosan-based biomaterials have proven to have excellent potential for the treatment of SCI. This review aims to introduce the recent advances in chitosan-based biomaterials for SCI treatment and to highlight the prospects for further application.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate published data regarding riboflavin (RF) as a cross-linker for improved adhesive bond strength to dentin and to analyze previous studies for optimal concentration of riboflavin range suitable for dentin bond. Saliva and distilled water were used as storage media and aging time was 24 h and 6 months. Results of meta-analysis were synthesized using a statistical method of inverse variance in random effects with a 95% Confidence Interval (CI). Cochrane review manager 5.4.1 was used to determine results of the meta-analysis. In total, 3172 articles were found from search databases "PubMed", "Scopus", and "Google Scholar". Six of the fifteen studies were eligible for meta-analysis. Micro tensile strength shows significant improvement with the addition of riboflavin (p < 0.05) compared to without the addition of riboflavin from with 95% CI. A significant difference has been found in micro tensile bond strength between use of the riboflavin cross-linker and without use of the riboflavin crosslinker in the dentin adhesive system. With a 95% confidence interval (CI), the I2 for micro tensile strength was 89% with strong heterogeneity, Chi2 = 44.76, df = 5 (p < 0.00001), and overall effect size is Z = 2.22 (p = 0.03) after immediate aging. Chiang et al. 2013 shows maximum mean differences which is 38.50 [17.93-59.07]. After 6 months of aging in distilled water or artificial saliva micro tensile bond strength has been increased with the addition of riboflavin (p < 0.05). It can be clearly seen that pooled effect and 95% CI did not cross the line of no effect. With a 95% confidence interval (CI), the I2 for micro tensile strength was 96% with strong heterogeneity, Chi2 = 117.56, df = 5 (p < 0.00001), and overall effect size is Z = 2.30 (p = 0.02). Subgroup analysis proved a similar effect of distilled water and artificial saliva as storage media on micro tensile bond strength after incorporating riboflavin as a collagen crosslinker. An artificial saliva aged forest plot also showed considerable heterogeneity with I2 = 96%; Tau2 = 257.32; Chi2 = 94.37; df = 2 (p < 0.00001); test for overall effect, Z = 1.06 (p = 0.29). Riboflavin prior to or with bonding is recommended to improve the bonding of different adhesive systems.

Effect of chitosan irrigant solutions on the release of bioactive proteins from root dentin. Clin Oral Investig 2023; 27:691-703. [PMID: 36401068 DOI: 10.1007/s00784-022-04787-1] [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: 04/04/2022] [Accepted: 11/10/2022] [Indexed: 11/19/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify the effect of two chitosan solutions on the release of root dentin matrix proteins and to describe the chemical changes observed following conditioning with chelating agents. MATERIALS AND METHODS The release of dentin sialoprotein (DSP), transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) with different chelating agents, including ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), chitosan solution (CS), and nanoparticulate chitosan (CSnp), was investigated. DSP was quantified using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). TGF-β1, VEGF, and PDGF-BB were quantified using a cytokine bead panel (CBA). Raman spectroscopy was performed to identify surface chemical changes. Statistical analysis was performed using Kruskal-Wallis test with Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon rank-sum test (p < 0.05). RESULTS TGF-β1, VEGF, and DSP solubilized in all irrigants tested. CSnp showed the highest concentration of DSP. PDGF-BB did not exceed the detection limits. Raman spectroscopy revealed a decrease in the phosphate and carbonate peaks, representing the chelating effect of EDTA, CS, and CSnp. Additionally, CSnp showed the greatest preservation of the amide I and III content. CONCLUSION Proteins can be released from dentin via EDTA, CS, and CSnp conditioning. Raman spectroscopic revealed changes in the inorganic content of the root dentin after chelation. Furthermore, use of CSnp facilitated a preservation of the organic content. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Chelation allows the release of proteins, justifying the use of chelating agents in regenerative endodontics. The chitosan-dentin matrix interaction also promotes the protection of the organic content as an additional benefit to its protein releasing effect.

Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the role of collagen cross-linkers in the bonding performance of the resin-dentin interface through a systematic review and a network meta-analysis. Sources: The literature search was conducted in several databases like PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane, Scopus and Web of Science from their inception till 30 April 2022. Study selection: The inclusion criteria consisted of in vitro studies evaluating the micro-tensile and micro-shear bond strengths of different cross-linkers acting on dentin. Bayesian network meta-analysis was conducted using RStudio. Data: Out of the 294 studies evaluated in the full-text analysis, 40 were included in the systematic review and meta-analysis. Most studies have used cross-linkers as primer (65.1%), followed by incorporating them into in adhesives and acid etching agents. The application methods of the adhesive system were classified as "etch-and-rinse (ER) adhesives" (77%) and "self-etching (SE) adhesives". Moreover, there were six types of cross-linkers in this presented review, of which the most numerous were polyphenols. Conclusion: Different application methods of cross-linkers, the long-term results showed that were only effective when used for longer durations, the immediate results were not statistically different. According to immediate and long-term results, etch-and-rinse (ER) adhesives showed a greater bonding performance than the control groups (p ≤ 0.05), whereas self-etching (SE) adhesives showed similar bond strength values (p ≥ 0.05). The result of network meta-analysis (NMA) showed that Dope like compound showed higher long-term bonding performance than other cross-linkers. Clinical significance: Long-term clinical studies may be needed to determine the effect of the cross-linkers on the bonding properties.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The integrity and stability of collagen are crucial for the dentin structure and bonding strength at dentin-resin interface. Natural plant-derived polypehenols have been used as collagen crosslinkers. OBJECTIVE The aims of the study were to develop novel chitosan oleuropein nanoparticles (CS-OL-NPs), and to investigate the CS-OL-NPs treated dentin's the resistance to enzymatic degradation and mechanic property. METHODS CS-OL-NPs were developed using the ionotropic gelation method. Release and biocompatibility of the CS-OL-NPs were tested. Twenty demineralized dentin collage specimens were randomized into four interventions groups: A, Deionized Water (DW); B, 5% glutaraldehyde solution (GA); C, 1 mg/ml chitosan (CS); and D, 100 mg/L CS-OL-NPs. After 1-min interventions, dentin matrix were evaluated by the micro-Raman spectroscopy for the modulus of elasticity test. Collagen degradation was assessed using hydroxyproline (HYP) assay. RESULTS CS-OL-NPs were spherical core-shape with a size of 161.29 ± 8.19 nm and Zeta potential of 19.53 ± 0.26 mV. After a burst release of oleuropein in the initial 6 h, there was a long-lasting steady slow release. CS-OL-NPs showed a good biocompatibility for the hPDLSCs. The modulus of elasticity in the crosslinked groups were significantly higher than that in the control group (P< 0.05 for all). The specimens treated with CS-OL-NP showed a greater modulus of elasticity than those treated with GA and CS (P< 0.05 for both). The release of HYP in the crosslinked group was significantly lower than that in the non-crosslinked groups (P< 0.05 for all). CONCLUSION CS-OL-NPs enhanced the dentin mechanical property and resistance to biodegradation, with biocompatibility and potential for clinical application.

Abstract
This narrative review will focus on a number of contemporary considerations relating to the restoration of root filled teeth and future directions for research. Clinicians are now more than ever, aware of the interdependence of the endodontic and restorative aspects of managing root filled teeth, and how these aspects of treatment are fundamental to obtaining the best long-term survival. To obtain the optimal outcomes for patients, clinicians carrying out endodontic treatment should have a vested interest in the restorative phase of the treatment process, as well as an appreciation for the structural and biomechanical effects of endodontic-restorative procedures on restoration and tooth longevity. Furthermore, the currently available research, largely lacks appreciation of occlusal factors in the longevity of root filled teeth, despite surrogate outcomes demonstrating the considerable influence this variable has. Controversies regarding the clinical relevance of minimally invasive endodontic and restorative concepts are largely unanswered with respect to clinical data, and it is therefore, all too easy to dismiss these ideas due to the lack of scientific evidence. However, conceptually, minimally invasive endodontic-restorative philosophies appear to be valid, and therefore, in the pursuit of improved clinical outcomes, it is important that the efficacies of these treatment protocols are determined. Alongside an increased awareness of the preservation of tooth structure, developments in adhesive bonding, ceramic materials and the inevitable integration of digital dentistry, there is also a need to evaluate the efficacy of new treatment philosophies and techniques with well-designed prospective clinical studies.

Abstract
The oral cavity is the habitat of several hundreds of microbial taxa that have evolved to coexist in multispecies communities in this unique ecosystem. By contrast, the internal tissue of the tooth, i.e., the dental pulp, is a physiologically sterile connective tissue in which any microbial invasion is a pathological sign. It results in inflammation of the pulp tissue and eventually to pulp death and spread of inflammation/infection to the periradicular tissues. Over the past few decades, substantial emphasis has been placed on understanding the pathobiology of root canal infections, including the microbial composition, biofilm biology and host responses to infections. To develop clinically effective treatment regimens as well as preventive therapies, such extensive understanding is necessary. Rather surprisingly, despite the definitive realization that root canal infections are biofilm mediated, clinical strategies have been focused more on preparing canals to radiographically impeccable levels, while much is left desired on the debridement of these complex root canal systems. Hence, solely focusing on "canal shaping" largely misses the point of endodontic treatment as the current understanding of the microbial aetiopathogenesis of apical periodontitis calls for the emphasis to be placed on "canal cleaning" and chemo-mechanical disinfection. In this review, we dissect in great detail, the current knowledge on the root canal microbiome, both in terms of its composition and functional characteristics. We also describe the challenges in root canal disinfection and the novel strategies that attempt to address this challenge. Finally, we provide some critical pointers for areas of future research, which will serve as an important area for consideration in Frontiers in Oral Health.

Local immunomodulatory effects of intracanal medications in apical periodontitis. J Endod 2022; 48:430-456.

Abstract
The immune system is an extremely complex biological network that plays a crucial role in the hemostasis of periapical tissue, pathogenesis of apical periodontitis (AP) as well as periapical tissue healing. The successful elimination of microbial infections remains a significant challenge, mostly due to the ever-growing development of antimicrobial-resistant pathogens. The bacterial endurance in the root canal system contributes to features ranging from altered post-treatment healing to exacerbation of chronic periradicular immune response, that compromise the outcome of endodontic treatment. A highly effective strategy for combating infectious diseases and the associated inflammation-mediated tissue damage is to modulate the host immune response in conjunction with antimicrobial therapy. There are several medications currently used in endodontic treatment, however, they suffer various levels of microbial resistance and do not deliver all the required characteristics to simultaneously address both intracanal bacteria and periapical inflammation. Interaction of antimicrobial agents with the immune system can impact its function, leading to immune-suppressive or immune-stimulatory effects. The group of non-conventional antimicrobial medications, such as antimicrobial peptides, propolis, and nanomaterials, are agents that provide strong antimicrobial effectiveness and concomitant immunomodulatory and/or reparative effect, without any host tissue damages. Herein, we provide an overview of local immune modulation in AP and a comprehensive review of the immunomodulatory effect of antimicrobials intracanal medications applied in endodontics with specific emphasis on the antimicrobial nanomaterial-based approaches that provide immunomodulatory potential for successful clinical deployment in endodontics.

Abstract
The prevention and treatment of erosive tooth wear are becoming increasingly important due to its increasing prevalence. The use of natural solutions to modify dental surfaces has become an area of research. Organic materials such as chitosan and hydrolyzed collagen may be a promising option to treat dentin. This in vitro study aimed to evaluate the influence of chitosan or hydrolyzed collagen, alone or combined with acidulated phosphate fluoride (APF) gel, on the composition and morphology of dentin after erosion. Bovine dentin samples were prepared (n = 84) and treated with artificial saliva (AS, negative control); APF gel (F, positive control); chitosan solution (Chi); hydrolyzed collagen solution (Col); fluoride/chitosan composition (F_Chi); and fluoride/hydrolyzed collagen composition (F_Col). Erosive cycles (six cycles of immersion in orange juice for 1 min, followed by immersion in AS for 1 hr) were performed. The materials were characterized by their morphology, composition, and particle size distribution. Micro-energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy and scanning electron were used to evaluate the dentin's inorganic chemical composition and morphology. The F_Col and F groups had a reduction in calcium loss by 17 and 26%, respectively (p < .001). Both of these groups still had a covering layer of agglomerates at the dentin surface after the erosive cycles. The fluoridated chitosan or collagen solutions improved the dentin resistance to erosion as a novel hybrid-fluoride-based material approach to provide surface protection from erosion.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to synthesize and characterize an experimental primer containing cationic lipid nanoparticles (NPL-chitosan) and to evaluate its properties. DESIGN The NPL-chitosan were synthesized by emulsion and sonication method. The experimental primers were applied in dentin surface of fifty human molars. The experimental groups were: 1) application of commercial primer; 2) Primer containing 2% of Chlorhexidine (CHX) 3); Primer with 2% NPL-chitosan 4); Primer with 0.6 % of NPL-chitosan 5); Primer with 0.4 % of NPL-chitosan. A composite resin plateau was used for the analysis, where sections were made for making the dentin beams. The effect of experimental primer with cationic nanoparticles in the inhibition of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity was carrying out by in situ zymography. For the Resin-Dentin Adhesive Strength and in situ Zymography analysis, was used the One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with significance level of 95 %. RESULTS Spherical NPL-chitosan presented size below 220 nm, polydispersity index of 0.179 and zeta potential positive and was stable over 75 days. These nanoparticles showed antibacterial activity agsainst S. mutans with MIC of the 0.4 % and MBC of 0.67 %. In the Microtensile Strength, no statistical difference was observed between the experimental groups (p = 0.9054). The in situ zymography assay showed that the group with 2% of NPL-chitosan presented higher inactivation activity of MMPs compared to the other groups (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION The experimental primer containing NPL-chitosan has antimicrobial activity, does not alter the adhesive resistance and inactivates MMPs present in dentin.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of a chitosan-based nanoformulation containing green tea on leathery (remaining) dentin subsurface microhardness. Size distribution, polydispersity index (PDI) and zeta potential (mV) of nanoformulations were previously determined by dynamic light scattering (DLS). Human dentin specimens were exposed to Streptococcus mutans for 14 d. Soft dentin were selectively removed by Er:YAG laser (n = 30) or bur (n = 30). Remaining dentin was biomodified with chitosan nanoparticles (Nchi, n = 10) or green tea-loaded chitosan nanoparticles (Gt + Nchi, n = 10) for 1 min. Control group (n = 10) did not receive any treatment. Subsurface microhardness (Knoop) was evaluated in hard (sound) and soft dentin, and then, in leathery dentin and after its biomodification, at depths of 30, 60 and 90 μm from the surface. Nchi reached an average size of ≤ 300 nm, PDI varied between 0.311 and 0.422, and zeta potential around + 30 mV. Gt + Nchi reached an average size of ≤ 350 nm, PDI < 0.45, and zeta potential around + 40 mV. Soft dentin showed significantly reduced microhardness at all depths (p > 0.05). The subsurface microhardness was independent of choice of excavation method (p > 0.05). At 30 µm from the surface, Gt + Nchi increased the leathery dentin microhardness compared to untreated group (p < 0.05). Nchi promoted intermediate values (p > 0.05). Both nanoformulations showed an average size less than 350 nm with nanoparticles of different sizes and stability along the 90-day period evaluated. Subsurface microhardness of bur-treated and laser-irradiated dentin was similar. At 30 µm, the biomodification with Gt + Nchi improved the microhardness of leathery dentin, independently of caries excavation method used.

Abstract
Nanotechnology has substantially progressed in the past decades, giving rise to numerous possible applications in different biomedical fields. In particular, the use of nanoparticles in endodontics has generated significant interest due to their unique characteristics. As a result of their nanoscale dimensions, nanoparticles possess several properties that may enhance the treatment of endodontic infections, such as heightened antibacterial activity, increased reactivity and the capacity to be functionalized with other reactive compounds. Effective disinfection and sealing of the root canal system are the hallmarks for successful endodontic treatment. However, the presence of bacterial biofilms and resistance to endodontic disinfectants pose a significant challenge to this goal. This has encouraged the investigation of antibacterial nanoparticle-based irrigants and intracanal medicaments, which may improve the elimination of endodontic infections. In addition, photosynthesizer-functionalized nanoparticles could also serve as a worthy adjunct to root canal disinfection strategies. Furthermore, despite the myriad of commercially available options for endodontic obturation, the "ideal" material has yet to be conceived. This has led to the development of various experimental nanoparticle-incorporated obturation materials and sealers that exhibit a range of favourable physicochemical properties including enhanced antibacterial efficacy and bioactivity. Nanoparticle applications also show promise in the field of regenerative endodontics, such as supporting the release of bioactive molecules and enhancing the biophysical properties of scaffolds. Given the constantly growing body of research in this field, this article aims to present an overview of the current evidence pertaining to the potential translational applications of nanoparticles in endodontics.

Polymers (Basel) 2021; 13:814. [PMID: 33799923 PMCID: PMC7961712 DOI: 10.3390/polym13050814] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2021] [Revised: 03/03/2021] [Accepted: 03/04/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Currently, the availability of a wide variety of universal adhesives makes it difficult for clinicians to choose the correct system for specific bonding situations to dentin substrate. This study aimed to determine whether there are any alternative techniques or additional strategies available to enhance the bond strength of universal adhesives to dentin through a systematic review and meta-analysis. Two reviewers executed a literature search up to September 2020 in four electronic databases: PubMed, ISI Web of Science, Scopus, and EMBASE. Only in vitro studies that reported the dentin bond strength of universal adhesives using additional strategies were included. An analysis was 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 assessed according to the parameters of a previous systematic. A total of 5671 potentially relevant studies were identified. After title and abstract examination, 74 studies remained in systematic review. From these, a total of 61 studies were included in the meta-analysis. The bond strength of universal adhesives to dentin was improved by the use of one of the following techniques: Previous application of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) inhibitors (p < 0.001), prolonged application time (p = 0.007), scrubbing technique (p < 0.001), selective dentin etching (p < 0.001), non-atmospheric plasma (p = 0.01), ethanol-wet bonding (p < 0.01), prolonged blowing time (p = 0.02), multiple layer application (p = 0.005), prolonged curing time (p = 0.006), and hydrophobic layer coating (p < 0.001). On the other hand, the use of a shortened application time (p = 0.006), and dentin desensitizers (p = 0.01) impaired the bond strength of universal adhesives to dentin. Most of the analyses performed showed a high heterogenicity. The in vitro evidence suggests that the application of universal adhesives using some alternative techniques or additional strategies may be beneficial for improving their bonding performance to dentin. This research received no external funding. Considering that this systematic review was carried out only with in vitro studies, registration was not performed.

Abstract
Clinicians often face dilemmas regarding the most appropriate way to restore a tooth following root canal treatment. Whilst there is established consensus on the importance of the ferrule effect on the predictable restoration of root filled teeth, other factors, such as residual tooth volume, tooth location, number of proximal contacts, timing of the definitive restoration and the presence of cracks, have been reported to influence restoration and tooth survival. The continued evolution of dental materials and techniques, combined with a trend towards more conservative endodontic-restorative procedures, prompts re-evaluation of the scientific literature. The aim of this literature review was to provide an updated overview of the existing clinical literature relating to the restoration of root filled teeth. An electronic literature search of the PubMed, Ovid (via EMBASE) and MEDLINE (via EMBASE) databases up to July 2020 was performed to identify articles that related the survival of root filled teeth and/or restoration type. The following and other terms were searched: restoration, crown, onlay, root canal, root filled, post, clinical, survival, success. Wherever possible, only clinical studies were selected for the literature review. Full texts of the identified articles were independently screened by two reviewers according to pre-defined criteria. This review identifies the main clinical factors influencing the survival of teeth and restorations following root canal treatment in vivo and discusses the data related to specific restoration type on clinical survival.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Proteolytic and demineralizing agents have a profound influence on the dentin ultrastructure, which plays a key role in the mechanical integrity of the tooth and integrity of dentin-biomaterial interfaces. In-depth characterization of dentin treated with a novel root canal irrigation protocol comprising sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and etidronate (HEDP) is lacking. This study comprehensively characterized and compared the effects of the continuous chelation (NaOCl/HEDP) and sequential chelation (NaOCl/EDTA) protocols on dentin. METHODS Dentin blocks, dentin powder and root canals of mandibular premolars were distributed into Group 1, Saline (control); Group 2, NaOCl/EDTA; and Group 3, NaOCl/HEDP. Ultrastructural characteristics of the treated dentin were investigated using electron microscopy and light microscopy, while the surface roughness was analyzed using atomic force microscopy. Chemical compositional changes were characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and energy-dispersive-X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), while collagen degradation was determined using ninhydrin assay. Data were statistically analyzed using multiple-factor one-way ANOVA and Tukey HSD tests (P = 0.05). RESULTS NaOCl/HEDP resulted in partially degraded, yet mineralized collagen fibers, with minimal alteration to the subsurface matrix. Conversely, NaOCl/EDTA dissolved the hydroxyapaptite encapsulation, exposing collagen fibre bundles. There was no significant difference in the surface roughness between the two protocols (P > 0.05). NaOCl/HEDP resulted in homogenous distribution of organic and inorganic components on the treated surface. SIGNIFICANCE This study highlighted that continuous chelation (NaOCl/HEDP) resulted in a frail surface collagen layer while sequential chelation (NaOCl/EDTA) exposed bare collagen fibres. These surface and sub-surface effects potentially contribute to structural failures of dentin and/or dentin-biomaterial interfacial failures.

Abstract
Objectives: The objective is to evaluate the effect of collagen stabilizing agents-chitosan and proanthocyanidin (PA) on the shear bond strength to dentin and microleakage of resin composite at enamel and cemental walls. Materials and Methods: Thirty premolars were decoronated 2 mm above cemento-enamel junction and restored with composite resin. Teeth were then randomly divided into three groups: Group I - Control, Group II - Pre-treatment with chitosan, and Group III - Pre-treatment with PA. Samples were then subjected to thermocycling for 500 cycles at 5°C and 55°C with the dwell time of 30 s and transfer time of 5–10 s. Then, the samples were subjected to shear bond strength evaluation on Universal testing machine. Shear load was applied until failure occurred. The load to failure was recorded individually and statistical analysis was done. Microleakage was determined by methylene blue dye penetration method and subjected to stereomicroscopic evaluation. Statistical analysis was carried out using Mann–Whitney test and Chi-square test. Results: Group II specimens produced the highest median shear bond strength and group I showed the least. In addition, Group I, Group II, and Group III showed no statistically significant difference in microleakage. Conclusions: Application of Chitosan and PA improved the shear bond strength to dentin as compared to the control. However, no significant difference in shear bond strength and microleakage was found between them.

Abstract
Background Stem cell therapies have gained great attention for providing novel solutions for treatment of various injuries and diseases due to stem cells’ self-renewal, ability to differentiate into various cell types, and favorite paracrine function. Nevertheless, the low retention of transplanted stem cell still limits their clinical applications such as in wound healing in view of an induced harsh microenvironment rich in reactive oxygen species (ROS) during inflammatory reactions. Methods Herein, a novel chitosan/acellular dermal matrix (CHS/ADM) stem cell delivery system is developed, which is of great ROS scavenging activity and significantly attenuates inflammatory response. Result Under ROS microenvironment, this stem cell delivery system acts as a barrier, effectively scavenging an amount of ROS and protecting mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from the oxidative stress. It notably regulates intracellular ROS level in MSCs and reduces ROS-induced cellular death. Most importantly, such MSCs delivery system significantly enhances in vivo transplanted stem cell retention, promotes the vessel growth, and accelerates wound healing. Conclusions This novel delivery system, which overcomes the limitations of conventional plain collagen-based delivery system in lacking of ROS-environmental responsive mechanisms, demonstrates a great potential use in stem cell therapies in wound healing.

Abstract
This study evaluated the influence of a bonding approach using proanthocyanidins (PAs) combined with ethanol-wet bonding (EWB) and a hydrophobic adhesive on the bonding quality of fibre posts. After endodontic treatment and post-space preparation, 72 single-rooted extracted human teeth were etched, thoroughly rinsed, and then treated using the following procedures (n = 24 teeth per group): group 1, no pretreatment; group 2, pretreatment with absolute ethanol three times, for 30 s each time; or group 3, pretreatment with absolute ethanol solution containing 5% PAs three times, for 30 s each time. Six teeth per group were dried according to a dry and a wet drying protocol and then observed using field emission-scanning electron microscopy. The remaining 18 teeth in each group were cemented with fibre posts: All-Bond 3 and Duo-Link cement were used for group 1; and hydrophobic adhesive and Duo-Link cement were used for groups 2 and 3. Push-out bond strength, failure mode, and nanoleakage were evaluated immediately and after collagenase treatment. Higher push-out bond strength and less nanoleakage were observed in the two ethanol-pretreatment groups, regardless of storage conditions. Teeth pretreated with PAs + ethanol exhibited significantly higher push-out bond strength after collagenase treatment than did teeth pretreated with ethanol alone. Within the limits of this study, the bonding approach of PAs combined with EWB and a hydrophobic adhesive synergistically improved the durability of fibre post bonds.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of 0.1% chitosan (Ch) solution as an additional primer on the mechanical durability and enzymatic activity on dentine using an etch-and-rinse (E&R) adhesive and a universal self-etch (SE) adhesive. Microtensile bond strength and interfacial nanoleakage expression of the bonded interfaces for all adhesives (with or without pretreatment with 0.1% Ch solution for 1 min and air-dried for 5 s) were analyzed immediately and after 10,000 thermocycles. Zymograms of protein extracts from human dentine powder incubated with Optibond FL and Scotchbond Universal on untreated or Ch-treated dentine were obtained to examine dentine matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activities. The use of 0.1% Ch solution as an additional primer in conjunction with the E&R or SE adhesive did not appear to have influenced the immediate bond strength (T0) or bond strength after thermocycling (T1). Zymography showed a reduction in MMP activities only for mineralized and demineralized dentine powder after the application of Ch. Application of 0.1% Ch solution does not increase the longevity of resin–dentine bonds. Nonetheless, the procedure appears to be proficient in reducing dentine MMP activities within groups without adhesive treatments. Further studies are required to comprehend the cross-linking of Ch with dentine collagen.

Abstract
Objectives Proanthocyanidins (PAs) have been widely used as effective agents for dentin
collagen cross-linking to enhance the biomechanics and biostability of
dentin in vitro. However, the effects and protective mechanisms of various
tea root-derived PA components on dentin remain undefined. This study
evaluated the effects of these tea root-derived PA components on dentin
biomechanics and biostability. Methods In this study, ethyl acetate and n-butyl alcohol were used to extract PAs
with different degrees of polymerization from tea roots; the effects of
these PA extracts on dentin were evaluated. Results Dentin was treated with glutaraldehyde, ethyl acetate, n-butyl alcohol, or
water. PAs with a high degree of polymerization, extracted using n-butyl
alcohol, were able to more effectively improve dentin collagen
cross-linking, increase resistance to bacterial collagenase digestion, and
enhance dentin elasticity, relative to treatment with glutaraldehyde or PAs
with a low degree of polymerization (extracted using ethyl acetate).
Additionally, treatment with aqueous extract of tea roots was detrimental to
dentin stability and function. Conclusions PAs with a high degree of polymerization were effective for dentin protection
and restoration in vitro, suggesting clinical treatment potential for tea
root-derived PAs.

Abstract
The biological aim of root canal treatment is to facilitate periapical tissue healing following endodontic therapy. This study aimed to develop an organotypic infected root canal model to understand the interaction of bacterial biofilm with macrophages and study the therapeutic effect of engineered bioactive chitosan nanoparticles (CSnp) on macrophages. Ex-vivo experiments were conducted in two phases; Phase-1: Enterococcus faecalis biofilms (two and six weeks old) developed in organotypic root canal model were used to characterize residual biofilm after conventional chemical treatment alone and combined with CSnp utilizing Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy and colony-forming units from pulverized dentin. Phase-2: The interaction of post-treatment biofilm and RAW macrophages was evaluated regarding pro/anti-inflammatory markers, cell viability and spreading at 24, 48 and 72 h. Compared to conventionally disinfected six-week-old biofilm, CSnp resulted in less viable bacteria (p < 0.01). Scanning electron micrographs demonstrated disruption of the biofilm. CSnp exhibited less residual bacterial load in pulverized dentin (p < 0.001). Macrophage interaction with CSnp-treated biofilm reduced proinflammatory markers (nitric oxide, TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6), increased anti-inflammatory marker (TGF-β1) and enhanced cell survival and spreading over time (p < 0.01 at 72 h). Engineered chitosan nanoparticles concurrently inactivated biofilm and altered the inflammatory response of macrophages that would promote healing.

Abstract
Bioactive collagen/chitosan complexes were prepared by an ion crosslinking method using fish skin collagen and chitosan solution as raw materials. Scanning electron microscopy observation confirmed that the collagen/chitosan complexes were of a uniform spherical shape and uniform particle size. The complexes were stable at different pH values for a certain period of time through swelling experiments. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) showed the collagen/ chitosan complexes were more stable than collagen. X-ray diffraction (XRD) showed that the complexes had a strong crystal structure, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) data revealed the changes in the secondary structure of the protein due to chitosan and TPP crosslinking. The content of malondialdehyde (MDA) in the complex treatment group was considerably lower, but the content of SOD was significantly higher than that of the collagen group or chitosan group. In addition, the collagen/chitosan complexes could considerably reduce melanin content, inhibit tyrosinase activity, and down-regulate tyrosinase mRNA expression. In conclusion, the collagen/chitosan complexes were potential oral protein preparation for antioxidant enhancement and inhibiting melanin synthesis.

Dent Mater 2019; 36:145-156. [PMID: 31818524 DOI: 10.1016/j.dental.2019.11.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/03/2019] [Revised: 09/07/2019] [Accepted: 11/11/2019] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To modify a universal dentine adhesive with different concentrations of riboflavin and D-Alpha 1000 Succinate polyethylene (VE-TPGS) as a chemical enhancer and to assess the micro-tensile bond strength (24h/12 months), determine resin penetration, measurement of intermolecular interactions and cytotoxicity. MATERIALS AND METHODS An experimental adhesive system based on bis-GMA, HEMA and hydrophobic monomer was doped with RF0.125 (RF - Riboflavin) or RF/VE-TPGS (0.25/0.50) and submitted to μTBS evaluation. Resin dentine slabs were prepared and examined using SEM and TEM. Adhesion force was analysed on ends of AFM cantilevers deflection. Quenched peptide assays were performed using fluorescence scanner and wavelengths set to 320nm and 405nm. Cytotoxicity was assessed using human peripheral blood mononuclear cell line. Molecular docking studies were carried out using Schrödinger small-molecule drug discovery suite 2018-2. Data from viable cell results was analyzed using one-way ANOVA. Bond strength values were analysed by two-way ANOVA. Nonparametric results were analyzed using a Kruskal-Wallis test at a 0.05 significance level. RESULTS RF/VE-TPGS0.25 groups showed highest bond strength results after 24-h storage in artificial saliva (p<0.05). RF/VE-TPGS0.50 groups showed increased bond strength after 12-months of ageing. RF/VE-TPGS modified adhesives showed appreciable presence of a hybrid layer. Packing fraction indicated solid angle profiles describing well sized density and topology relations for the RF/VE-TPGS adhesives, in particular with the RF/VE-TPGS0.50 specimens. Qualitative analysis of the phenotype of macrophages was prominently CD163+ in the RF/VE-TPGS0.50. Both the compounds showed favourable negative binding energies as expressed in terms of 'XP GScore'. CONCLUSION New formulations based on the incorporation of RF/VE-TPGS in universal adhesives may be of significant potential in facilitating penetration, distribution and uptake of riboflavin within the dentine surface.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate dentin wettability and surface morphology after selective removal of carious lesion by erbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Er:YAG) laser, followed by dentin biomodification with carbodiimide (EDC) and chitosan (CHI). Seventy-eight bovine dentin specimens were submitted to caries induction. Specimens were distributed according to methods of carious removal (n = 39): bur at low-speed (40,000 rpm) or Er:YAG laser (noncontact mode, 250 mJ/pulse and 4Hz). All specimens were etched with 35% phosphoric acid, and subdivided according to dentin biomodification (n = 13): Control (no biomodification), EDC or CHI. The contact angle (n = 10) between adhesive system (3M ESPE) and dentin surface was measured by a goniometer. Eighteen specimens (n = 3) were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy. Data were analyzed by two-way ANOVA and Tukey's test (α = .05). The method used to remove carious lesion did not influence the wettability of dentinal surface (p = .748). The angles produced on the remaining dentin after biomodification were influenced (p = .007). CHI promoted higher contact angles (p = .007) and EDC did not differ from the control group (p = .586). In the bur-treated group, most tubules were open, regardless of which biomodifier was used. Laser modified the organic matrix layer. CHI promoted partially closed tubules in some areas while EDC exposed dentinal tubules. Regardless of which method was used for selective removal of carious lesion, biomodification with EDC did not affect the dentin wettability, whereas CHI changed the wettability of remaining dentin. Both biomodifiers promoted a slight change on dentin morphology.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the effectiveness of root canal irrigation with chitosan on the dislocation resistance of a root canal sealer (MTA Fillapex) in vitro, measured by the push-out bond strength test. MATERIALS AND METHODS Root canals of mandibular premolars (n = 57) were prepared using rotary files with 5.25% sodium hypochlorite as the irrigant during instrumentation. Following this, the specimens were randomly divided into three groups (n = 19) based on the final irrigant: group 1, 0.2% chitosan solution; group 2, 17% EDTA solution; group 3, saline. Three specimens from each group were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS). The remaining specimens of each group were divided into two subgroups (n = 8) based on the method of agitation of the final irrigants (chitosan/EDTA/saline): subgroup A, sonic (Endoactivator, Dentsply Maillefer); subgroup B, no activation (control). After irrigation, all specimens obturated with a commercial mineral trioxide aggregate-resin hybrid sealer (MTA Fillapex, Angelus, Londrina, Brazil). Dislocation resistance was measured using the push-out bond strength test after 3 weeks. The data were analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis test (P = 0.05). RESULTS Immaterial of the irrigant agitation, groups irrigated with chitosan showed significantly higher bond strength values than those irrigated with EDTA (P < 0.05). Groups irrigated with saline showed the least bond strength values (P < 0.05). When EDTA was used, sonic agitation significantly improved the bond strength of the sealer, compared to the control (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference between sonic agitation and the control when chitosan solution was used as the final irrigant (P > 0.05). The nitrogen/carbon ratio was significantly higher in chitosan groups compared to the control group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION This study provides the first evidence that chitosan irrigation improves the dislocation resistance of MTA-resin hybrid root canal sealer, compared to EDTA and saline irrigation. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Chitosan-based irrigation has been previously shown to demonstrate anti-biofilm properties in the root canal. The present study demonstrates that chitosan can improve the bond strength of a root filling material, which may contribute to better sealing of the root canal system.

Polymer conjugation optimizes EDTA as a calcium-chelating agent that exclusively removes extrafibrillar minerals from mineralized collagen. Acta Biomater 2019; 90:424-440. [PMID: 30953801 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2019.04.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2019] [Revised: 03/29/2019] [Accepted: 04/02/2019] [Indexed: 01/22/2023]
Abstract
During development of mineralized collagenous tissues, intrafibrillar mineralization is achieved by preventing mineralization precursor inhibitors that are larger than 40 kDa from entering the collagen fibrils. Such a property is incorporated in the design of a calcium chelator for dentin bonding in the etch-and-rinse technique that selectively demineralizes extrafibrillar apatite while leaving the intrafibrillar minerals intact. This strategy prevents complete demineralization of collagen fibrils, avoids collapse of collagen that blocks resin infiltration after air-drying, and protects the completely demineralized fibrils from bacteria colonization and degradation by endogenous proteases after resin bonding. In the present study, a water-soluble glycol chitosan-EDTA (GCE) conditioner was synthesized by conjugation of EDTA, an effective calcium chelator, to high molecular weight glycol chitosan, which exhibits weak chelation property. The GCE conjugate was purified, characterized by FTIR, 1H NMR, isothermal titration calorimetry and ICP-AES, and subjected to size exclusion dialysis to recover molecules that are >40 kDa. The optimal concentration and application time for etching dentin were determined by bond strength testing to ensure that the dentin bonding results were comparable to phosphoric acid etching, and maintained equivalent bond strength after air-drying of the conditioned collagen matrix. Extrafibrillar demineralization was validated with transmission electron microscopy. Inhibition of endogenous dentin proteases was confirmed using in-situ zymography. The water-soluble GCE dentin conditioner was non-cytotoxic and possessed antibacterial activities against planktonic and single-species biofilms, supporting its ongoing development as a dentin conditioner with air-drying, anti-proteolytic and antibacterial properties to enhance the durability of bonds created using the etch-and-rinse bonding technique. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The current state-of-the-art techniques for filling decayed teeth with plastic tooth-colored materials require conditioning the mineralized, biofilm-covered, decayed dentin with acids or acid resin monomers to create a surface layer of completely- or partially-demineralized collagen matrix for the infiltration of adhesive resin monomers. Nevertheless, fillings prepared using these strategies are not as durable as consumers have anticipated. Conjugation of polymeric glycol chitosan with EDTA produces a new conditioner for dentin bonding that demineralizes only extrafibrillar dentin, reduces endogenous protease activities and kills biofilm bacteria. The high molecular weight glycol chitosan-EDTA is non-cytotoxic to the key regenerative players within the dentin-pulp complex. This advance permits dry bonding and the use of hydrophobic resins.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Activated microbubbles (MBs) have the potential to deliver nanoparticles in complex microspaces such as root canals. The objective of the study is to determine the fluid dynamical parameters associated with ultrasonic, sonic, and manual activation of MBs in simulated root canals and to assess the effectiveness of surface coating formed by delivering chitosan nanoparticles using activated MBs within root canals in extracted teeth. METHODS In stage 1, polydimethylsiloxane models were fabricated to determine the physical effects of MBs agitated manually (MM), sonically (MS), and ultrasonically (MU). Spherical tracer particles were used to visualize and record the fluid motion using an inverted microscope linked to a high-speed camera. The velocity, wall stress, and penetration depth were analyzed at regions of interest. In stage 2, 35 extracted human incisors were divided into 7 groups to evaluate the effectiveness of chitosan nanoparticle delivery using activated MBs (MM, MS, and MU groups). Field emission scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-rays were used to characterize the nanoparticle coating on root canal dentin and the degree of dentinal tubule occlusion. RESULTS In stage 1, velocity, wall stress, and penetration depth increased significantly in the MB groups compared with the control (P < .01). In stage 2, 70% of the dentin surface was coated, and 65% of the dentinal tubule was occluded with nanoparticle-based coating in the MM, MU, and water ultrasonic groups. Element analysis displayed the presence of dentin smear on the root canal surface for the MU and water ultrasonic groups. CONCLUSIONS Activated MBs enhanced fluid dynamical parameters when compared with water in simulated root canal models. Manual activation of MBs resulted in uniform and significant nanoparticle-based surface coating and tubule blockage in root canal dentin without dentin smear formation.
