Microb Pathog 2024; 193:106758. [PMID: 38906493 DOI: 10.1016/j.micpath.2024.106758] [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: 03/24/2024] [Revised: 06/13/2024] [Accepted: 06/18/2024] [Indexed: 06/23/2024]
Abstract
The present study explores the bioinspired green synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) using marine Streptomyces plicatus and its potent antibacterial, antibiofilm activity against dental caries forming Streptococcus mutans MTCC and S. mutans clinical isolate (CI), cytotoxicity against oral KB cancer cells, hemolysis against blood erythrocytes and artemia toxicity. The bioinspired ZnONPs showed a distinctive absorption peak at 375 nm in UV-Vis spectra, the FT-IR spectra divulged the active functional groups, and XRD confirmed the crystalline nature of the nanoparticles with an average grain size of 41.76 nm. SEM analysis evidenced hexagonal morphology, and EDX spectra affirmed the presence of zinc. The ZnONPs exerted higher antagonistic activity against S. mutans MTCC (Inhibitory zone: 19 mm; MIC: 75 μg/ml) than S. mutans CI (Inhibitory zone: 17 mm; MIC: 100 μg/ml). Results of biofilm inhibitory activity showed a concentration-dependent reduction with S. mutans MTCC (15 %-95 %) more sensitive than S. mutans CI (13 %-89 %). The 50 % biofilm inhibitory concentration (BIC50) of ZnONPs against S. mutans MTCC was considerably lower (71.76 μg/ml) than S. mutans CI (78.13 μg/ml). Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopic visuals clearly implied that ZnONPs effectively distorted the biofilm architecture of both S. mutans MTCC and S. mutans CI. This was further bolstered by a remarkable rise in protein leakage (19 %-85 %; 15 %-77 %) and a fall in exopolysaccharide production (34 mg-7 mg; 49 mg-12 mg). MTT cytotoxicity of ZnONPs recorded an IC50 value of 22.06 μg/ml against KB cells. Acridine orange/ethidium bromide staining showed an increasing incidence of apoptosis in KB cells. Brine shrimp cytotoxicity using Artemia salina larvae recorded an LC50 value of 78.41 μg/ml. Hemolysis assay substantiated the biocompatibility of the ZnONPs. This study underscores the multifaceted application of bioinspired ZnONPs in dentistry.

Design and optimization of a novel patient-specific subperiosteal implant additively manufactured in yttria-stabilized zirconia. Dent Mater 2024:S0109-5641(24)00213-6. [PMID: 39084954 DOI: 10.1016/j.dental.2024.07.008] [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: 04/04/2024] [Revised: 07/10/2024] [Accepted: 07/23/2024] [Indexed: 08/02/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To design a patient-specific subperiosteal implant for a severely atrophic maxillary ridge using yttria-stabilized additively manufactured zirconia (3YSZ) and evaluate its material properties by applying topology optimization (TO) to replace bulk material with a lattice structure. MATERIALS A contrast-based segmented skull model from anonymized computed tomography data of a patient was used for the initial anatomical design of the implant for the atrophic maxillary ridge. The implant underwent finite element analysis (FEA) and TO under different occlusal load-bearing conditions. The resulting implant designs, in bulk material and lattice, were evaluated via in-silico tensile tests and 3D printed. RESULTS The workflow produced two patient-specific subperiosteal designs: a) an anatomically precise bulk implant, b) a TO lattice implant. In-silico tensile tests revealed that the Young's modulus of yttria-stabilized zirconia is 205 GPa for the bulk material and 83.3 GPa for the lattice. Maximum principal stresses in the implant were 61.14 MPa in bulk material and 278.63 MPa in lattice, both tolerable, indicating the redesigned implant can withstand occlusal forces of 125-250 N per abutment. Furthermore, TO achieved a 13.10 % mass reduction and 208.71 % increased surface area, suggesting improved osteointegration potential. SIGNIFICANCE The study demonstrates the planning and optimization of ceramic implant topology. A further iteration of the implant was successfully implanted in a patient-named use case, employing the same fabrication process and parameters.

Poly-3-hydroxybutyrate-silver nanoparticles membranes as advanced antibiofilm strategies for combatting peri-implantitis. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 269:131974. [PMID: 38692546 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.131974] [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: 10/31/2023] [Revised: 04/26/2024] [Accepted: 04/28/2024] [Indexed: 05/03/2024]
Abstract
Dental implant success is threatened by peri-implantitis, an inflammation leading to implant failure. Conventional treatments struggle with the intricate microbial and host factors involved. Antibacterial membranes, acting as barriers and delivering antimicrobials, may offer a promising solution. Thus, this study highlights the potential of developing antibacterial membranes of poly-3-hydroxybutyrate and silver nanoparticles (Ag Nps) to address peri-implantitis challenges, discussing design and efficacy against potential pathogens. Electrospun membranes composed of PHB microfibers and Ag Nps were synthesized in a blend of DMF/chloroform at three different concentrations. Various studies were conducted on the characterization and antimicrobial activity of the membranes. The synthesized Ag Nps ranged from 4 to 8 nm in size. Furthermore, Young's modulus decreased, reducing from 13.308 MPa in PHB membranes without Ag Nps to 0.983 MPa in PHB membranes containing higher concentrations of Ag Nps. This demonstrates that adding Ag Nps results in a less stiff membrane. An increase in elongation at break was noted with the rise in Ag Nps concentration, from 23.597 % in PHB membranes to 60.136 % in PHB membranes loaded with Ag Nps. The antibiotic and antibiofilm activity of the membranes were evaluated against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus mutans, and Candida albicans. The results indicated that all PHB membranes containing Ag Nps exhibited potent antibacterial activity by inhibiting the growth of biofilms and planktonic bacteria. However, inhibition of C. albicans occurred only with the PHB-Ag Nps C membrane. These findings emphasize the versatility and potential of Ag Nps-incorporated membranes as a multifunctional approach for preventing and addressing microbial infections associated with peri-implantitis. The combination of antibacterial and antibiofilm properties in these membranes holds promise for improving the management and treatment of peri-implantitis-related complications.

Photodiagnosis Photodyn Ther 2023; 44:103833. [PMID: 37802275 DOI: 10.1016/j.pdpdt.2023.103833] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/02/2023] [Revised: 09/30/2023] [Accepted: 10/03/2023] [Indexed: 10/08/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Peri-implantitis is a destructive inflammatory disease affecting both hard and soft tissues of the osseointegrated implant and causing bone loss and envelope surrounding the implant. The study aimed at evaluating the effect of Photodynamic therapy with Curcumin and Riboflavin on the level of decontamination of implant surface impregnated with Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (A.a) biofilm. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this experimental and laboratory study, 42 implants (4.3 mm in diameter and 8 mm in length) were infected with A.a. bacterial suspension. Then, the implants carrying A.a biofilm were randomly divided into seven groups (n = 6). The groups included: 1- a negative control group (without treatment), 2- a positive control group of Chlorhexidine 0.12 %, 3- a Curcumin (5 mg/ ml) group, 4- a Riboflavin (0.5 %) group, 5- an LED irradiation group (390-480 nm), 6- a photodynamic therapy with Curcumin group, and 7- a photodynamic therapy with Riboflavin group. Then, the implants were sonicated and the amount of CFU/mL of each sample was calculated. One-way ANOVA and Tamhane tests were used to analyze the data. RESULTS The lowest mean number of colonies of A.a (CFU/ mL) were seen in the following groups, respectively: the positive control group of Chlorhexidine 0.12 %, the photodynamic therapy with Curcumin group, the photodynamic therapy with Riboflavin group, the Curcumin (5 mg/ ml) group, the Riboflavin (0.5 %) group, the LED radiation group, and the negative control group. The use of photodynamic therapy with Curcumin significantly reduced the number of colonies of A.a (CFU/ mL) in comparison with the photodynamic therapy with Riboflavin group (p = 0.004), the Riboflavin group (p = 0.045), the LED radiation group (p = 0.012), and the negative control group (p = 0.007). CONCLUSION aPDT with Curcumin and LED can reduce A.a biofilm on implant surfaces and can be used as a safe and non-invasive disinfection method to reduce A.a biofilm on implant surfaces.

Abstract
Peri-implantitis is a major cause of dental implant failure. This disease is an inflammation of the tissues surrounding the implant, and, while the cause is multi-factorial, bacteria is the main culprit in initiating an inflammatory reaction. Dental implants with silicon carbonitride (SiCN) coatings have several potential advantages over traditional titanium implants, but their antibacterial efficiency has not yet been evaluated. The purpose of this study was to determine the anti-bacterial potential of SiCN by modifying the surface of SiCN-coated implants to have a positive charge on the nitrogen atoms through the quaternization of the surface atoms. The changes in surface chemistry were confirmed using contact angle measurement and XPS analysis. The modified SiCN surfaces were inoculated with Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) and compared with a silicon control. The cultured bacterial colonies for the experimental group were 80% less than the control silicon surface. Fluorescent microscopy with live bacteria staining demonstrated significantly reduced bacterial coverage after 3 and 7 days of incubation. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to visualize the coated surfaces after bacterial inoculation, and the mechanism for the antibacterial properties of the quaternized SiCN was confirmed by observing ruptured bacteria membrane along the surface.

Abstract
This study compared the periodontopathic bacterial adhesion to four restorative materials used for deep margin elevation at 2, 24, and 48-h after incubation. Discs were produced from four restorative materials: resin modified glass ionomer, glass hybrid, flowable bulk fill resin composite, and bioactive ionic resin. Root dentin was used as control. Specimens were coated with saliva and used to culture a biofilm comprised of three strains of periodontopathic bacteria; Porphyromonas gingivalis, Prevotella intermedia, and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans. Bacterial adherence was assessed by colony count assay, crystal violet staining, and visualized using confocal laser scanning microscopy. Data were analyzed by two-way ANOVA followed by Tukey's post hoc tests. The adhesion values for the control specimens were significantly higher than for other materials, while those for the flowable bulk fill were significantly lower than for any other material within all evaluation assays. The 2-h incubation period showed the lowest adhesion values regardless of the group. The 48-h adhesion values were higher than the 24-h results in all groups except the flowable bulk fill. Microscopic imaging partially supported the findings of the measurements. In terms of periodontopathic bacterial adhesion, the tested flowable bulk fill may be preferable for subgingival use over other tested materials.

Abstract
Titanium and its alloys are frequently the biomaterial of choice for dental implant applications. Although titanium dental implants have been utilized for decades, there are yet unresolved issues pertaining to implant failure. Dental implant failure can arise either through wear and fatigue of the implant itself or peri-implant disease and subsequent host inflammation. In the present report, we provide a comprehensive review of titanium and its alloys in the context of dental implant material, and how surface properties influence the rate of bacterial colonization and peri-implant disease. Details are provided on the various periodontal pathogens implicated in peri-implantitis, their adhesive behavior, and how this relationship is governed by the implant surface properties. Issues of osteointegration and immunomodulation are also discussed in relation to titanium dental implants. Some impediments in the commercial translation for a novel titanium-based dental implant from "bench to bedside" are discussed. Numerous in vitro studies on novel materials, processing techniques, and methodologies performed on dental implants have been highlighted. The present report review that comprehensively compares the in vitro, in vivo, and clinical studies of titanium and its alloys for dental implants.

Abstract
Background It has been confirmed that bacterial biofilm covering dental implants is the main microbial source causing preimplant infectious and inflammatory diseases. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial/antibiofilm effect of chlorhexidine, incorporated into a sustained-release varnish of chlorhexidine (SRV-CHX) coating, on dental abutments. Materials and Methods Three kinds of dental abutments were used: a high-performance semi-crystalline engineering thermoplastic polyetheretherketone (PEAK) healing abutment, a titanium healing abutment, and a titanium permanent abutment. These abutments were coated with SRV-CHX or SRV-placebo and exposed daily to fresh cultures of Streptococcus mutans. The effect of SRV-CHX on S. mutans growth on agar plates was studied by measuring the zone of inhibition (ZOI) around each tested abutment every day for a period of 36 days. Biofilm formation on the SRV-CHX/placebo-coated abutments was detected using confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and high-resolution scanning electron microscopy (HR-SEM), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), and monitored by crystal violet (CV) staining. Results SRV-CHX-coated abutments 2 and 3 were able to inhibit S. mutans growth for 34 days, while abutment 1 inhibited growth for 32 days. Abutment-associated biofilm formation was notably inhibited by SRV-CHX coating after 13 days of incubation with S. mutans. Finally, the biofilm formed around SRV-CHX-coated abutments was completely inhibited up to 12 days of abutment exposure to S. mutans. Conclusion Coating of dental abutments with SRV-CHX demonstrated long-term effective inhibition of S. mutans growth and biofilm formation on the abutment surface.

Abstract
Increased bacterial resistance to traditional antimicrobial agents has prompted the use of natural products with antimicrobial properties such as propolis, extensively employed since ancient times. However, the chemical composition of propolis extracts is extremely complex and has been shown to vary depending on the region and season of collection, due to variations in the flora from which the pharmacological substances are obtained, being therefore essential for their antimicrobial activity to be checked before use. For this purpose, we evaluate the in vitro antimicrobial and anti-biofilm activity of a new and promising Spanish ethanolic extract of propolis (SEEP) on Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sanguinis, responsible, as dominant 'pioneer' species, for dental plaque. Results reveal that S. sanguinis is more sensitive to SEEP, slowing and retarding its growth considerably with lower concentrations than those needed to produce the same effect in S. mutans. SEEP presents concentration- and time-dependent killing activity and, furthermore, some of the subinhibitory concentrations employed increased biofilm formation even when bacterial growth decreased. Mono and dual-species biofilms were also inhibited by SEEP. Findings obtained clearly show the relevance of using biofilm and subinhibitory concentration models to determine optimal treatment concentrations.

Abstract
Photocatalysts have attracted attention in the medical field for their antibacterial effects. However, typical photocatalysts are activated by ultraviolet rays, which may have adverse effects. Therefore, we focused on a new photocatalyst that is activated by visible light, hydroxyapatite (HAp), and amino acid complex with gray titania, and evaluated its antibacterial effects against Porphyromonas gingivalis and effect by toothbrushing. The test sample was a titanium alloy substrate, and four surface treatments were applied: (1) substrate only, (2) substrate with HAp complex, (3) substrate with HAp complex with gray titania, and (4) HAp-tryptophan complex with gray titania (TR). These surface treatments were evaluated with or without toothbrushing (8 total groups). Surface roughness (Sa), fluorescent X-ray analysis (XRF), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to evaluate surface properties. To investigate antibacterial effects, each sample was seeded with P. gingivalis, irradiated with red light, and total viable bacterial count was determined. For Sa measurement, TR showed no significant difference after toothbrushing. However, in XRF and SEM observation, TR exhibited peeling of the applied coating after toothbrushing. In the antibacterial test, TR showed a decrease in P. gingivalis under no toothbrushing condition. Conversely, with toothbrushing, the TR coating appeared to peel. However, no significant difference in P. gingivalis count was observed among all groups. HAp-tryptophan complex with gray titania coating showed an antibacterial effect against P. gingivalis when irradiated with visible light. However, toothbrushing can result in coat peeling and consequently reduce the antibacterial effect.

Biofilm Formation on the Surface of (Poly)Ether-Ether-Ketone and In Vitro Antimicrobial Efficacy of Photodynamic Therapy on Peri-Implant Mucositis. Polymers (Basel) 2021; 13:polym13060940.

Abstract
Poly-ether-ether-ketone (PEEK) is an aesthetically pleasing natural material with good biocompatibility and shock absorption characteristics. The application of PEEK as a dental implant or abutment is expected to reduce the risk of failure and enhance aesthetics. Given that approximately one in 15 patients have allergic reactions to antibiotics, photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been gaining attention as an alternative treatment. Herein, the applicability of PEEK dental implants or abutments was investigated using material analyses, biofilm formation assay, and cell viability tests. The possible use of PDT for peri-implant mucositis was evaluated with the biofilm removal assay. The obtained data were analyzed based on the multivariate analysis of variance, paired t-tests, and the Pearson correlation coefficient (α = 0.05). The results revealed that PEEK was significantly less conducive to the formation of biofilms with S. mutans and A. actinomycetemcomitan (p < 0.001) but exhibited comparable MG-63 (human osteoblast-like) osteoblast cell viability (p > 0.05) to the other materials. PDT had similar antimicrobial efficacy and yielded similar biofilm removal effects to antibiotics. Altogether, these findings suggest that PEEK has attractive features and can serve as an alternative material for dental implants or abutments. In cases where peri-implant mucositis occurs, PDT can be used as an accessible therapeutic approach.

Abstract
It is known that Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) is the leading cariogenic pathogen. Recently, an increasing number of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have been brought into consideration as anti-caries agents. Here, we designed and synthesized an AMP derived from reutericin 6 and/or gassericin A, named LN-7, and explored its effect on biofilm of S. mutans UA159 in vitro and development of dental caries in vivo. Antibacterial assays showed that LN-7 was more active against S. mutans (3.2 μM) than many peptide-based agents, capable of killing other types of Streptococci in oral cavity. In addition, LN-7 presented fast killing kinetics, with more than 97% S. mutans killed within 5 min. The mechanism of the antimicrobial activity mainly lies on the disruption of bacterial membrane. Effects of LN-7 on the biofilm formation and the viability of preformed biofilm were quantified by crystal violet staining, which showed that LN-7 could effectively inhibit the biofilm accumulation of S. mutans. Moreover, the biofilm of S. mutans treated with LN-7 displayed notable changes in bacterial viability and morphology, observed by confocal laser scanning microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. In addition, topical oral treatment with LN-7 could suppress the development of dental caries in vivo, reducing the occurrence of severe dental lesion in a rodent model. These results reveal a new peptide-based agent as a topical treatment for dental caries, opening the door to clinical studies to explore its potential for caries prevention.

Tai Chi Improves Coronary Heart Disease Risk by Inactivating MAPK/ERK Pathway through Serum miR-126. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2020; 2020:4565438. [PMID: 32382289 PMCID: PMC7199556 DOI: 10.1155/2020/4565438] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2019] [Revised: 03/29/2020] [Accepted: 04/04/2020] [Indexed: 01/20/2023]
Abstract
Background Tai Chi is effective in preventing heart disease (CHD) risk, but the molecular mechanism remains unclear. Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of CHD and can be activated by miR-126. Tai Chi may exert its protective function through the miR-126-modulated MAPK pathway. Methods The CHD patients after PCI were randomized into the CG group (CG) (n = 19, normal care) and Tai Chi group (TG) (Tai Chi intervention, n = 17). Epicardial adipose tissue volume (EATV) (one main adverse cardiovascular event of CHD), HR (heart rate), QoL (quality of life) scores, and balance performance were measured in the two groups. The body fat content, abdominal subcutaneous fat, and visceral fat were measured to reflect the improvement of adipose tissue dysfunction. The levels of miR-126 and MAPK-associated molecules were measured in peripheral blood leukocytes. Meanwhile, the effects of miR-126 silence and mimic on MAPK-associated molecules were also explored in cardiac cell H9C2. Results After the 3-month intervention, Tai Chi reduced EATV and HR and increased QoL scores and balance performance, respectively (P < 0.05). The fat percentage, body fat mass, and BMI were also significantly reduced after Tai Chi intervention (P < 0.05). The levels of miR-126, MAPK, JNK, and ERK in the TG group were lower than those in the CG group (P < 0.05). The miR-126 levels had a strong relationship with the values of EATV, HR, and QoL scores (P < 0.05). miR-126 silence or mimic inactivated or activated MAPK-associated molecules in the cardiac cell lines. Conclusions Tai Chi improved CHD risk by inactivating the MAPK/ERK pathway via serum miR-126.
