Abstract
AIM To investigate the resistance to bacterial adhesion of materials used in oculoplastic surgery, particularly materials used in the manufacture of orbital implants. METHODS Seven organisms of conjunctival flora (two strains of Staphylococcus epidermidis and one strain each of Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus hominis, Corynebacterium amycolatum, Acinetobacter calcoaceticus, and Serratia marcescens) were selected. A lactic acid bacterium (Lactobacillus rhamnosus) was also included as positive control because of its well-known adhesion ability. Eight materials used to make oculoplastic prostheses were selected (glass, steel, polytetrafluoroethylene, polymethylmethacrylate, silicone from orbital implants, commercial silicone, porous polyethylene, and semi-smooth polyethylene). Materials surfaces and biofilms developed by strains were observed by scanning electron microscopy. Kinetics of growth and adhesion of bacterial strains were determined by spectrophotometry. Each strain was incubated in contact with plates of the different materials. After growth, attached bacteria were re-suspended and colony-forming units (CFUs) were counted. The number of CFUs per square millimetre of material was statistically analyzed. RESULTS A mature biofilm was observed in studied strains except Staphylococcus hominis, which simply produced a microcolony. Materials showed a smooth surface on the microbial scale, although steel exhibited 1.0-µm-diameter grooves. Most organisms showed significant differences in adhesion according to the material. There were also significant differences in the total number of CFUs per square millimetre from each material (P=0.044). CFU counts were significantly higher in porous polyethylene than in silicone from orbital implants (P=0.038). CONCLUSION Silicone orbital implants can resist microbial colonization better than porous polyethylene implants.

Dent Mater 2017; 33:1381-1391. [PMID: 28964542 DOI: 10.1016/j.dental.2017.09.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2017] [Revised: 07/28/2017] [Accepted: 09/11/2017] [Indexed: 01/30/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Development of antibacterial dental composites is the ultimate goal to decrease carious disease occurrence and increase the restoration longevity. For this purpose, the quaternary ammonium dimethyl-hexadecyl-methacryloxyethyl-ammonium iodide (DHMAI) and the methacryloyloxyethylphosphorylcholine (MPC) have been incorporated in experimental methacrylate-based composite resins. This aims to first investigate the effect of each alone and then their combined effect. METHODS Synthesized DHMAI and commercial MPC were added either alone or combined at different concentrations to experimental dental composite. Flexural strength (FS) and modulus (FM) were tested to select the optimal concentrations. Only selected composites were evaluated for Vickers hardness (HV) and the degree of conversion (DC) using fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis (FTIR-ATR). Antibacterial activity was assessed using tests on colony-forming unit (CFU), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Alamarblue assay to measure the metabolic activity. Streptococcus mutans biofilm was chosen to be grown on the composite surfaces during 96h at 37°C. RESULTS Incorporation of 7.5% DHMAI in composite improved the degree of conversion and gave a strong antibacterial effect with a reduction of (∼98%) in CFU and (∼50%) of metabolic activity with acceptable mechanical properties. Addition of MPC to DHMAI affects mechanical properties of composites without providing a better antibacterial activity. SIGNIFICANCE Composites with DHMAI greatly reduced S. mutans biofilm and improved the degree of conversion without scarifying the composites' mechanical properties. DHMAI may have wide applicability to other dental materials in order to inhibit caries and improve the longevity of restorations.
