Abstract
Resin-based dental composites, commonly used in dentistry, offer several advantages including minimally invasive application, esthetically pleasing appearance, and good physical and mechanical properties. However, these dental composites can be susceptible to microcracks due to various factors in the complex oral environment. These microcracks can potentially lead to clinical restoration failure. Conventional materials and methods are inadequate for detecting and repairing these microcracks in situ. Consequently, incorporating self-healing properties into dental composites has become a necessity. Recent years have witnessed rapid advancements in self-healing polymer materials, drawing inspiration from biological bionics. Microcapsule-based self-healing dental composites (SHDCs) represent some of the most prevalent types of self-healing materials utilized in this domain. In this article, we undertake a comprehensive review of the most recent literature, highlighting key insights and findings related to microcapsule-based SHDCs. Our discussion centers particularly on the preparation techniques, application methods, and the promising future of self-healing microcapsules in the field of dentistry.

Effects of chitosan and TiO 2 nanoparticles on the antibacterial property and ability to self-healing of cracks and retrieve mechanical characteristics of dental composites. Heliyon 2024; 10:e27734. [PMID: 38524556 PMCID: PMC10957383 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e27734] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2023] [Revised: 02/25/2024] [Accepted: 03/06/2024] [Indexed: 03/26/2024] Open
Abstract
The aim of this study was to improve the self-healing properties of dental nanocomposite using nanoparticles of TiO2 and chitosan. We evaluated flexural and compressive strength, crack-healing, and self-healing lifespan after 3 months of water aging. The effect of the developed composite on cell viability and toxicity was assessed by an MTT assay on human alveolar basal epithelial cells (A549 cell line). The nanocomposite included 7.5 wt% polyurea-formaldehyde (PUF) and 0, 0.5, and 1 wt% n-TiO2 and chitosan. After the fracture, the samples were put in a mold for 1-90 days to enable healing. Then, the fracture toughness of the healed nanocomposites and the healing yield were measured. The flexural strength of the nanocomposite improved by adding 0.5 wt% n-TiO2, while the compressive strength increased after adding 0.5 wt% chitosan (p > 0.1). When these two materials were used simultaneously, the flexural strength was improved by around 2%; however, the compressive strength was unaffected. Compared to the other sample, the nanocomposite with 0.5 wt% n-TiO2 and chitosan had higher KIC-healing and self-healing efficiency. Self-healing efficacy had no significant effect of water aging over 90 days compared to one day (p > 0.1), demonstrating that the PUF nanocapsules were not damaged.

Abstract
Dental resin restorations commonly fail because of fractures and secondary caries. The aim of this research was to synthesize a novel low-shrinkage dental resin with antibacterial and self-healing properties. The low-shrinkage dental resin was obtained by incorporating a 20 wt% anti-shrinkage mixture of an expanding monomer 3,9-diethyl-3,9-dimethylol -1,5,7,11-tetraoxaspiro[5,5] undecane and an epoxy resin monomer diallyl bisphenol A diglycidyl ether (1:1, referred as "UE") and different mass fractions of self-healing antibacterial microcapsules (0%, 2.5%, 5%, 7.5%, and 10%) were incorporated into the matrix to prepare multifunctional dental resin. Polymerization shrinkage, mechanical properties, antibacterial activity, self-healing ability, and cytotoxicity of this dental resin were evaluated. The polymerization volumetric shrinkage of resin containing 20 wt% UE and 7.5 wt% microcapsules was reduced by 30.12% (4.13% ± 0.42%) compared with control. Furthermore, it exhibited high antibacterial activity and a good self-healing efficiency of 71% without adversely affecting the mechanical property and cell viability. This novel multifunctional dental resin with low polymerization shrinkage and excellent antibacterial activity and self-healing capability has potential application as a dental resin material to decrease the incidence of fractures and secondary caries.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Dental resin composites have been the most popular materials for repairing tooth decay in recent years. However, secondary caries and bulk fracture are the major hurdles that affect the lifetime of dental resin composites. This current study synthesized a novel antimicrobial and self-healing dental resin containing nanoparticle-modified self-healing microcapsules to combat secondary caries and restoration fracture. METHODS Multifunctional dental resins containing 0-20% nanoparticle-modified self-healing microcapsules were prepared. The water contact angle, antimicrobial properties, mechanical properties, cell toxicity, and self-healing capability of the dental resins were tested. RESULTS A novel multifunctional dental resin was synthesized. When the microcapsule mass fraction was 10%, the resin presented a strong bacteriostasis rate (80.3%) and excellent self-healing efficiency (66.1%), while the hydrophilicity, mechanical properties, and cell toxicity were not affected. SIGNIFICANCE The novel antimicrobial self-healing dental resin is a promising candidate for use in clinical practice, which provides a simple and highly efficient strategy to combat secondary caries and restoration fracture. This novel dental resin also gives the inspiration to prolong the service life of dental restorations.

Abstract
Dental composites are commonly utilized in dental treatments because they have the ability to preserve the natural appearance of teeth, are minimally invasive and conservative, and enhance the overall physical and mechanical attributes. Dental composites can experience damage, like small cracks, due to factors like temperature changes and physical strain, which can reduce their effectiveness. Detecting these tiny cracks in dental composites can be quite challenging, and in certain situations, it may even be impossible. In addition, it is not possible to repair these damages in situ by using conventional materials and methods. Therefore, the self-healing ability in dental composites is necessary. In recent years, the spontaneous repair of damages such as micro-cracking in dental composite materials has been developed without any type of human intervention and the replacement of new components. The most widely used approach to create self-healing dental composites involves encapsulating a healing agent within polymer shells and dispersing these microcapsules within the acrylate matrix of the dental composite. To assess the self-healing abilities of these composites, researchers can examine changes in their fracture toughness before and after the healing process using a test called the Single Edge V-notch beam test. In the present article we reviewed the latest findings in the field of self-healing intelligent composites for application in dentistry, and also in the present study, the studies on self-healing smart dental composites will be reviewed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the incorporation of repairing capsules containing different monomers and polymerization modulators on the self-healing efficiency of an experimental photopolymerizable resin-based composite. METHODS Self-healing capsules containing different monomers and polymerization modulators were prepared by emulsion polymerization: TCDHEPT (TEGDMA and DHEPT), BTCDHEPT (Bis-GMA, TEGDMA, and DHEPT), and BTCBPO (Bis-GMA, TEGDMA, and BPO). The capsules were analyzed through Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The capsules were added into experimental photopolymerizable resin composites establishing the following groups: ER (Control without capsules), ER+BPO, ER+BPO+TCDHEPT, and ER+BTCBPO+BTCDHEPT. Filtek Z350 resin composite (3 M ESPE) was used as a commercial reference. The materials were tested for degree of conversion (DC), flexural strength (σf), elastic modulus (Ef), fracture toughness (virgin KIC), self-healing efficiency (healed KIC), and roughness. For statistical analysis, the significance value was established at an a = 0.05 level. RESULTS When compared to the control material, the incorporation of repairing capsules did not affect DC, σf, and Ef. Fracture toughness was statistically similar between the experimental groups (p ≤ 0.05). Healed KIC was statistically different between the groups ER+TCDHEP and ER+BTCBPO+BTCDHEPT; the self-healing efficiency was higher for ER+TCDHEPT. Surface roughness was statistically similar among all groups. CONCLUSIONS The use of self-healing capsules promoted repair of the material. Studies with material aging after the self-healing process are necessary to better demonstrate the effectiveness of this system. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE The self-healing system seemed to be a promising technology to be used in self-repaired restorative materials, which may prevent restoration fractures.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Although microcapsules (MCs) have been used for dental resins to achieve self-healing capabilities, the fragile organic shell and single healing event functions during the service period limit their use. Herein, a novel nanoparticle-modified MC with a nano-antibacterial inorganic filler (NIF) containing a quaternary ammonium salt was synthesized to address these issues. METHODS MCs with 0 %-30 % NIFs were prepared via an in situ polymerization method and characterized their morphology, chemical composition, thermal stability, roughness, mechanical properties, and antibacterial effect. Subsequently, M-10 MCs were mixed into the resin matrix at a mass fraction of 7.5 %. The self-healing capability and cytotoxicity were evaluated. RESULTS The introduction of nanomaterials enhances the shell of the MCs and endows them with an antibacterial effect. With the addition of NIFs, the roughness, modulus, and hardness values of MCs all increased (p < 0.05). The presence of M-10 MCs reduced the CFU by 2-3 orders of magnitude compared to the control group. The dental resin containing 7.5 % M-10 MCs obtained almost 69 % self-healing efficiency, without significantly compromising cell viability (p < 0.05). SIGNIFICANCE Self-healing MCs with NIFs were prepared for the first time with strong antibacterial properties, a substantial self-healing capability, and low toxicity. This multifunctional MC is a promising candidate for use in dental resins to extend the service life and resolve the problem of bulk fracture and secondary caries.

Abstract
Objectives For many years, the requirements for dental polymers were limited to inertially filling the cavity and restoring form, function, and esthetics. Inorganic filler systems were widely enhanced to maximize the mechanical properties and optimize finishing and polishing procedures. The development of alternative photoinitiator systems also improved the carbon-carbon double bond conversion, increasing biocompatibility, wear, and stain resistance. However, despite laudable progress, the clinical life span of dental restorations is still limited, and their replacement is the most common procedure in dental offices worldwide. In the last few years, the development of materials with the potential to adapt to physiological stimuli has emerged as a key step to elevating dental polymers to a higher excellence level. In this context, using polymeric networks with self-healing properties that allow for the control of the propagation of microcracks is an appealing strategy to boost the lifetime of dental restorations. This review aims to report the current state-of-the-art of extrinsic self-healing dental polymers and provide insights to open new avenues for further developments. General classification of the self-healing polymeric systems focusing on the current extrinsic strategies used to inhibit microcracks propagation in dental polymers and recover their structural integrity and toughness are presented. Search Strategy An electronic search was perfomed using PubMed, Google Scholar, and Scopus databases. Only studies published in English on extrinsic self-healing polymeric systems were included. Overall Conclusions Self-healing materials are still in their infancy in dentistry, and the future possibilities are almost limitless. Although the mouth is a unique environment and the restorative materials have to survive chemical, physical, and mechanical challenges, which limits the use of some strategies that might compromise their physicochemical performance, there are countless untapped opportunities to overcome the challenges of the current systems and advance the field.

Abstract
Dental resin composites (DRCs) are popular materials to repair caries. Although various types of DRCs with different characteristics have been developed, restoration failures still exist. Bulk fracture and secondary caries have been considered as main causes for the failure of composites restoration. To address these problems, various fillers with specific functions have been introduced and studied. Some fillers with specific morphologies such as whisker, fiber, and nanotube, have been used to increase the mechanical properties of DRCs, and other fillers releasing ions such as Ag+, Ca2+, and F-, have been used to inhibit the secondary caries. These functional fillers are helpful to improve the performances and lifespan of DRCs. In this article, we firstly introduce the composition and development of DRCs, then review and discuss the functional fillers classified according to their roles in the DRCs, finally give a summary on the current research and predict the trend of future development.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to develop novel self-adhesive resin cement with antibacterial and self-healing properties. Furthermore, the dentin bonding strength, mechanical properties, self-healing efficiency, and antibacterial property of the developed cement were measured. METHODS Novel nano-antibacterial inorganic fillers that contain quaternary ammonium salts with long-chain alkyls were synthesized. These fillers were added into self-adhesive resin cement containing self-healing microcapsules at mass fractions of 0, 2.5%, 5.0%, 7.5%, or 10.0%. The dentin shear bonding test was used to test the bonding strength, whereas the flexural test was used to measure the flexural strength and elastic modulus of the cement. The single-edge V-notched beam method was used to measure self-healing efficiency, and human dental plaque microcosm biofilms were chosen to calculate the antibacterial property. RESULTS The dentin shear bond strength significantly decreased when the mass fraction of the nano-antibacterial inorganic fillers in the novel cement reached 7.5% (P<0.05). The incorporation of 0, 2.5%, 5.0%, 7.5%, or 10.0% mass fraction of nano-antibacterial inorganic fillers did not adversely affect the flexural strength, elastic modulus, fracture toughness, and self-healing efficiency of the cement (P>0.1). Resin cement containing 2.5% mass fraction or more nano-antibacterial inorganic fillers significantly inhibited the metabolic activity of dental plaque microcosm biofilms, indicating strong antibacterial potency (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS The novel self-adhesive resin cement exhibited promising antibacterial and self-healing properties, which enable the cement to be used for dental applications.

Abstract
Self-healing materials have rapidly developed in recent years to overcome the micro-cracks occurring in the polymer matrix. Self-healing ability offers autonomous crack repairs to prolong the service lives of polymers or polymer composites. As a main approach, extrinsic self-healing materials based on microcapsules have been applied in dentistry recently. This paper comprehensively presented and reviewed the definition and classification of self-healing materials, the synthesis of microcapsules, the calculation of self-healing efficiency, and the application of self-healing materials in dentistry. The future directions of self-healing polymers are also discussed.

Abstract
Objectives Self-adhesive resin cements contain functional monomers that enable them to adhere to the tooth structure without a separate adhesive or etchant. One of the most stable functional monomers used for chemical bonding to calcium in hydroxyapatite is 10-methacryloyloxydecyl dihydrogen phosphate (10-MDP). The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of the10-MDP concentration on the bond strength and physical properties of self-adhesive resin cements. Materials and Methods We used experimental resin cements containing 3 different concentrations of 10-MDP: 3.3 wt% (RC1), 6.6 wt% (RC2), or 9.9 wt% (RC3). The micro-tensile bond strength of each resin cement to dentin and a hybrid resin block (Estenia C&B, Kuraray Noritake Dental) was measured, and the fractured surface morphology was analyzed. Further, the flexural strength of the resin cements was measured using the three-point bending test. The water sorption and solubility of the cements following 30 days of immersion in water were measured. Results The bond strength of RC2 was significantly higher than that of RC1. There was no significant difference between the bond strength of RC2 and that of RC3. The water sorption of RC3 was higher than that of any other cement. There were no significant differences in the three-point bending strength or water solubility among all three types of cements. Conclusions Within the limitations of this study, it is suggested that 6.6 wt% 10-MDP showed superior properties than 3.3 wt% or 9.9 wt% 10-MDP in self-adhesive resin cement.
