Elmenshawy MZ, El-Haliem HA, Mowafy AM, Hamama HH. Effect of ethanolic extract of propolis on antibacterial and microshear bond strength of glass-ionomer restorations to dentin. Heliyon 2024; 10:e23710. [PMID: 38187267 PMCID: PMC10767503 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e23710] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2023] [Revised: 11/17/2023] [Accepted: 12/12/2023] [Indexed: 01/09/2024] Open
Abstract
Objectives This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of ethanolic extract of propolis on antibacterial and microshear bond strength of glass ionomer restorations to dentin. Materials and methods Conventional glass ionomer cement (Equia forte, GC Tokyo, Japan), resin-modified glass ionomer (Fuji II LC, GC Tokyo, Japan) and propolis powder (dried extract from honey bees) materials were used in this study. Both conventional glass ionomer and resin-modified glass ionomer were modified by two different concentrations of ethanolic extract of propolis (10 % and 25 % EEP). For antibacterial test, Streptococcus mutans strain was spread on agar petri dishes using a sterile swab. Discs of both glass ionomer restorative materials (without adding EEP, with 10 % EEP and with 25 % EEP) were fabricated within the agar plates. Antibacterial activity was evaluated by measuring the inhibition zones around each disc. For microshear bond strength test, 60 healthy human permanent molars were prepared by cutting occlusal surface and expose the dentin at the height of contour of all teeth then conditioned using poly acrylic acid conditioner, both glass ionomer restorative materials (without adding EEP, with 10 % EEP and with 25 % EEP) were mixed and applied on conditioned dentin surface by using tygon tube. Microshear bond strength was evaluated by the universal testing machine. Results Two-way ANOVA test revealed that both glass ionomer type and different concentrations of EEP had significant effect on the antibacterial test results and microshear bond strength values (p < 0,05). Glass ionomer restorative material with 25%EEP had the highest antibacterial values whereas glass ionomer restorative material without modifications (control groups) had the lowest values. Resin-modified glass ionomer without any modification (control group) had the highest bond strength while resin-modified glass ionomer with 25%EEP had the lowest bond strength. Conclusions Incorporation of ethanolic extract of propolis to glass ionomer restorative material increases the antibacterial effects of both conventional GIC and RMGI. Inspite of this advantage, it seems that it has deleterious effect on microshear bond strength to dentin.

Abstract
Dental caries is an infectious disease that is a major concern for dentists. Streptococci and Lactobacilli were long thought to be the primary etiology responsible for caries. Candida albicans with acidogenic and aciduric characteristics has recently been implicated in the onset and progression of cariogenic lesions. Moreover, due to the increased resistance to common antimicrobials, the discovery of innovative candidates is in high demand. Therefore, our study might be the first report that explores the efficacy of glass ionomer cement (GIC) incorporated with a newly modified carboxylated chitosan derivative (CS-MC) against multidrug-resistant (MDR) and/or pandrug resistant (PDR) C. albicans isolated from the oral cavity. In this work, four CS-MC-GIC groups with different concentrations were formulated. Group four (CS-MC-GIC-4) gave a significant performance as an anticandidal agent against selected PDR Candida strain, with an obvious decrease in its cell viability and high antibiofilm activity. It also, enhanced all the mechanical properties and supports cell viability of Vero cells as a nontoxic compound. Moreover, CS-MC-GIC-4 inhibited neuraminidases completely, which might provide a novel mechanism to prevent dental/oral infections. Thus, findings in this study open up new prospect of the utilization of CS-MC-GIC as a novel dental filling material against oral drug-resistant Candida.

Abstract
Background: We assessed the effect of propolis on the antibacterial, mechanical, and adhesive properties of a commercial poly(alkenoate) cement. Methods: The cement was modified with various concentrations of propolis, and antibacterial assays were performed against S. mutans by both MTT assays and agar diffusion tests. The compressive, flexural, and adhesive properties were also evaluated. Results: the modified cement showed activity against S. mutans in both assays, although reductions in compressive (from 211.21 to 59.3 MPa) and flexural strength (from 11.1 to 6.2 MPa) were noted with the addition of propolis, while adhesive strength (shear bond strength and a novel pull-out method) showed a statistical difference (p < 0.05). Conclusion: the antiseptic potential of modified material against S. mutans will allow this material to be used in cases in which low mechanical resistance is required (in addition to its anti-inflammatory properties) when using atraumatic restorative techniques, especially in deep cavities.

An ex vivo evaluation of physico-mechanical and anti-biofilm properties of resin-modified glass ionomer containing ultrasound waves-activated nanoparticles against Streptococcus mutans biofilm around orthodontic bands. Photodiagnosis Photodyn Ther 2022; 40:103051. [PMID: 35932962 DOI: 10.1016/j.pdpdt.2022.103051] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2022] [Revised: 07/23/2022] [Accepted: 08/02/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The present study evaluated the physico-mechanical and antimicrobial properties of ultrasound waves-activated modified-resin glass ionomer containing nanosonosensitizers such as nano-curcumin (n-Cur), nano-emodin (n-Emo), and nano-quercetin (n-Qct) against Streptococcus mutans biofilm on the surface of modified-resin glass ionomer bonded orthodontic bands. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 50 human molar teeth were used in this study. The shear bond strength (SBS), adhesive remnant index (ARI), setting time, and fluoride release of modified orthodontics cement containing different concentrations of n-Cur, n-Emo, and n-Qct (0, 2, 5, and 10%) were measured. The antimicrobial effectiveness was assessed against S. mutans by the biofilm inhibition test, and the Log10 colony-forming unit (CFU)/mL was evaluated. RESULTS SBS and setting time of modified glass ionomer decreased compared with the control group. 5% n-Emo, 2% n-Qct, and 5% n-Cur were the highest concentrations that had an insignificant difference in comparison with Transbond XT (P = 0.647, 0.819, and 0.292, respectively). The groups were not significantly different in terms of ARI score (P > 0.05). The highest and lowest setting time belonged to the control and 5% n-Emo groups, respectively; this difference in setting time was significant (P < 0.05). Ultrasound waves and 0.2% CHX significantly reduced S. mutans biofilms compared with the control group (P < 0.001), and minimum S. mutans colony count was shown in 0.2% CHX and 5% n-Emo groups. The addition of nanosonosensitizers to the glass ionomer did not compromise the fluoride release of the glass ionomer. CONCLUSION It could be concluded that resin-modified glass ionomer containing ultrasound waves-activated 5% n-Emo reduces S. mutans biofilm around orthodontic bands with no adverse effect on SBS, ARI, and its application in the clinic.

Abstract
The Newcastle disease virus (NDV) is considered a serious threat to global poultry production. Despite the availability of vaccines, it remains a major devastating epidemic responsible for great economic losses. The development of novel virus-controlling strategies is therefore an urgent need. The present study investigated for the first time the antiviral efficacy of propolis and chitosan nanoparticles against two NDV isolates, MW881875 and MW881876, recovered from vaccinated commercial broiler farms in KafrEl Sheikh Governorate, Egypt. The polygenetic analysis focused on the F and M genes, with one isolate having a 97% identity with the genotype VII NDV Israeli strain. On the other hand, the identified isolates showed high genetic variation and only 76% identity with the LaSota vaccine (genotype II). More interestingly, the cell cytotoxic concentrations of chitosan, propolis, and a propolis–chitosan mixture against Vero cells were 327.41 ± 12.63, 109.48 ± 8.36, and 231.78 ± 11.46 μg/ml, respectively. The median tissue culture infectious dose (TCID50) assay demonstrated that the nanoparticles have antiviral effects after NDV exposure resulting in significant decrease in viral titer (TCID50) by 2, 2.66, and 2.5 log10 at 62 μg/ml of chitosan, 13 μg/ml of propolis, and 30 μg/ml of the propolis–chitosan mixture, respectively, compared with the control TCID50 value of 4 log10. Taken together, the results provide novel insights into the potentially promising roles of propolis and chitosan as novel, safe, and effective antiviral agents against NDV.

Abstract
Propolis is a resinous product collected by bees from plant exudates to protect and maintain hive homeostasis. Propolis has been used therapeutically for centuries as folk medicine. Modern research investigating the diversity of the chemical composition and plant sources, biological activity, extraction processes, analytical methods, and therapeutic properties in clinical settings have been carried out extensively since the 1980s. Due to its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and immuno-modulator properties, propolis appears to be a suitable bioactive component to be incorporated into biomaterials. This review article attempts to analyze the potential application of propolis as a biomaterial component from the available experimental evidence. The efficacy and compabitility of propolis depend upon factors, such as types of extracts and types of biomaterials. Generally, propolis appears to be compatible with hydroxyapatite/calcium phosphate-based biomaterials. Propolis enhances the antimicrobial properties of the resulting composite materials while improving the physicochemical properties. Furthermore, propolis is also compatible with wound/skin dressing biomaterials. Propolis improves the wound healing properties of the biomaterials with no negative effects on the physicochemical properties of the composite biomaterials. However, the effect of propolis on the glass-based biomaterials cannot be generalized. Depending on the concentration, types of extract, and geographical sources of the propolis, the effect on the glass biomaterials can either be an improvement or detrimental in terms of mechanical properties such as compressive strength and shear bond strength. In conclusion, two of the more consistent impacts of propolis across these different types of biomaterials are the enhancement of the antimicrobial and the immune-modulator/anti-inflammatory properties resulting from the combination of propolis and the biomaterials.

Microhardness and Fluoride Release of Glass Ionomer Cement Modified with a Novel Al +3 Complex to Enhance Its Antimicrobial Activity. Int J Biomater 2021; 2021:1925388. [PMID: 34725548 PMCID: PMC8557087 DOI: 10.1155/2021/1925388] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/28/2021] [Accepted: 09/26/2021] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Objectives To synthesize and characterize a novel Al+3 complex with 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-1H-benzimidazole (HL) to be added to a restorative glass ionomer cement (GIC) to enhance its antimicrobial activities and to evaluate the Vickers microhardness (HV) and fluoride release (FR) of the modified GIC. Materials and Methods Al+3 complex was synthesized by the addition of 1 mmol (0.210 g) of HL to 1 mmol (0.342 g) of aluminum sulfate in ethanol. The resulting solution was then refluxed under stirring for 24 h and then collected by filtration and dried in a vacuum desiccator over an anhydrous CaCl2. Characterization of Al+3 complex was carried out by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), elemental microanalysis, thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), molar conductance, 1H NMR spectra, and electron impact-mass spectrometry. The antimicrobial activity of Al+3 complex-modified GIC (Al-GIC) was studied by the “cut plug method” against Gram-negative bacteria (Acinetobacter baumannii) and Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus, and Streptococcus mutants) and fungi (Candida albicans). HV was evaluated by a digital microhardness tester (Zwick/Roell, Indentec, ZHVμ-S, West Midlands, England). Fluoride levels in ppm were obtained using the ion-selective electrode connected to a digital meter. A one-way ANOVA and Bonferroni test were used to analyze the data with the significance level established at p ≤ 0.05. Results Synthesis of Al+3 complex was confirmed by FTIR, elemental microanalysis TGA, molar conductance, 1H NMR spectra, and electron impact-mass spectrometry. Al-GICs exhibited an enhanced antibacterial activity against all studied microorganisms as confirmed by the growth of inhibition zones compared to control GIC (C-GIC). Though there was a slight reduction in HV and FR with increasing the added percent of Al+3 complex, no significant differences were found between the studied groups. Conclusions Addition of Al+3 complex to GIC powder enhanced the antimicrobial activity of GIC materials. As there was a negligible insignificant reduction in HV and FR upon the addition of Al+3 complex, Al-GICs can be used with a guaranteed degree of clinical success.

Abstract
Overall perspective of nanotechnology and reinforcement of dental biomaterials by nanoparticles has been reported in the literature. However, the literature regarding the reinforcement of dental biomaterials after incorporating various nanostructures is sparse. The present review addresses current developments of glass ionomer cements (GICs) after incorporating various metallic, polymeric, inorganic and carbon-based nanostructures. In addition, types, applications, and implications of various nanostructures incorporated in GICs are discussed. Most of the attempts by researchers are based on the laboratory-based studies; hence, it warrants long-term clinical trials to aid the development of suitable materials for the load bearing posterior dentition. Nevertheless, a few meaningful conclusions are drawn from this substantial piece of work; they are as follows: (1) most of the nanostructures are likely to enhance the mechanical strength of GICs; (2) certain nanostructures improve the antibacterial activity of GICs against the cariogenic bacteria; (3) clinical translation of these promising outcomes are completely missing, and (4) the nanostructured modified GICs could perform better than their conventional counterparts in the load bearing posterior dentition.

Abstract
Objective
The focus of this study was to evaluate the biocompatibility of ionomer cements modified with ethanolic extracts of propolis (EEP) in different concentrations and time intervals.
Materials and Methods
In total, one hundred and thirty-five male Wistar rats were randomized into nine groups: Control, Groups Meron, and Groups Ketac (conventional, and added with 10, 25, 50% EEP, respectively). Histological analyses of inflammatory infiltrate and collagen fibers, and immunohistochemistry of CD68+ for macrophages (MOs) and multinucleated giant cells (MGCs) were performed.
Statistical Analysis
Data were analyzed using the Kruskal—Wallis and Dunn (
p
< 0.05) tests.
Results
Intense inflammatory infiltrate was demonstrated in the cements with 10% EEP at 7 days and 15 days (
p
< 0.05), only Group Ketac 10% EEP (
p
= 0.01) at 30 days. A smaller quantity of collagen fibers was observed in the cements with 10% EEP (
p
= 0.01) at 7 days, and Group Meron 10% EEP (
p
= 0.04) at 15 days. MOs and MGCs showed significant difference for the cements with 10% EEP (
p
= 0.01) at 7 and 15 days. At 30 days, MOs persisted in the Groups with 10% EEP.
Conclusions
The concentration of 10% EEP had the greatest influence on the inflammatory and tissue repair processes. The concentrations of 25 and 50% EEP demonstrated biocompatibility similar to that of cements that did not receive EEP.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the antimicrobial activity, mechanical properties, and fluoride release capacity of glass ionomer cement (GIC) used for cementing orthodontic bands and modified by ethanolic extract of red propolis (EERP) in different concentrations. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two orthodontic GICs containing EERP at 10%, 25%, and 50%, were used. The following assays were carried out: cell viability tests against Streptococcus mutans and Candida albicans, diametral tensile strength, compressive strength, shear bond strength, microhardness, and fluoride release capacity. The statistical analyses of the antimicrobial tests, fluoride release, diametral tensile strength, compressive strength, and microhardness were performed using two-way analysis of variance and Tukey test (P < .05). Shear bond strength data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance followed by Tukey test (P < .05). RESULTS At the concentrations of 25% and 50%, EERP was shown to be a promising antimicrobial agent incorporated into GICs against C albicans (P < .001) and S mutans (P < .001). The fluoride release capacity of the GICs was not affected, and the EERP concentration of 25% was the one that least affected the mechanical properties of the cements (P > .05). CONCLUSIONS The GICs containing EERP at 25% showed a significant increase in their antimicrobial activity against S mutans and C albicans, while mechanical properties and fluoride release remained without significant changes.

Extract of Propolis on Resin-Modified Glass Ionomer Cement: Effect on Mechanical and Antimicrobial Properties and Dentin Bonding Strength. Int J Biomater 2021; 2021:5597837. [PMID: 33936206 PMCID: PMC8055436 DOI: 10.1155/2021/5597837] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/16/2021] [Revised: 03/17/2021] [Accepted: 03/29/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
This study assessed the effect of addition of aqueous extract of propolis in different concentrations on the mechanical and antimicrobial properties of resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC). In this in vitro study, powder of Fuji II LC RMGIC was mixed with 25% and 50% aqueous extracts of propolis. Samples (n = 15 for shear bond strength, n = 5 for flexural strength, and n = 20 for the antibacterial activity test) were fabricated using this mixture. The buccal and lingual surfaces of 23 premolars were ground to expose dentin. Tygon tubes were filled with cement, bonded to dentin, and subjected to bond or the flexural strength test in a universal testing machine. Antibacterial activity was assessed using the disc diffusion and well-plate techniques against S. mutans. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and Tukey's test. The three groups showed significant differences (p < 0.001). The 50% propolis group had the lowest flexural and shear bond strength. The control group had the highest flexural and shear bond strength. No growth inhibition zone was noted around any of the discs. It can be concluded that addition of propolis to RMGIC did not confer any antibacterial activity against S. mutans and decreased the flexural and shear bond strength of RMGIC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In this study, the effect of adding purified powder of Salvia officinalis on the mechanical properties and bonding ability of resin-modified glass ionomer (RMGI) cement is investigated. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this in vitro study Purified powder of S. officinalis with particles smaller than 50 μ, in weight percentages of 0.5%, 0.75%, 1%, and 1.25%, was added to RMGI powder (GC Fuji II LC, GC USA). Fifty samples in five groups of control and percentages that considered, from the powder of GI combined with liquid, according to the manufacturer instructions and prepared samples with 4 mm × 6 mm dimensions and placing in distilled water in an incubator with temperature 37°C for 24 h. Fifty sound extracted upper premolars were collected and divided into five groups. The dentinal cross-sections on the occlusal surfaces of teeth were prepared and assessed under a stereomicroscope with ×16. Then, samples with 2 × 4 dimensions from RMGI was prepared on dentin surface and keeping in moisture environment in an incubator with temperature 37°C for 24 h. Compressive strength and shear bond strength test done with a universal testing machine at the rate of 0.5 mm/min. For the assessment of mode of failure, stereomicroscope with a digital camera and ×20 was used, and photographs from bonding surface were taken. After collecting data, the ANOVA test was used for comparing shear bond strength between groups and Kruskal-Wallis test was used for comparing compressive strength. The Chi-square test was used for comparing the mode of failure between groups. The significance level for all tests was considered 5%. RESULTS According to the statistical analysis, compressive strength (P = 0.486) and shear bond strength (P = 0.076) were not significantly different between the five groups. The distribution of mode of failure was not significantly different between groups (P = 0.663). CONCLUSION The addition of purified powder of S. officinalis to RMGI powder does not affect compressive strength and shear bond strength of RMGI cement.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study was designed to investigate the antimicrobial properties, compressive strength and fluoride release capacities of high-viscous glass ionomer cements (GICs) after incorporation of cinnamon and thyme essential oils. MATERIALS AND METHODS Experimental-modified GICs were prepared by incorporation of thyme and cinnamon essential oils into the liquid phase of the cement at 5 and 10% v/v. Antimicrobial activity against selected microorganisms (Streptococcus mutans and Candida albicans) was done using direct contact test. Compressive strength of the four new formulations and control group was tested using a universal testing machine while fluoride ion release was measured by ion-selective electrode at 1, 7, 14 and 28 days. Data analysis and comparisons between groups were performed using factorial and one-way ANOVA and Tukey's tests. RESULTS All newly formulated GICs exhibited significantly higher inhibitory effects against both Streptococcus mutans and Candida albicans growth when compared to conventional GIC (p < 0.05). Compressive strength of 5% cinnamon-modified GIC (MPa = 160.32 ± 6.66) showed no significant difference when compared with conventional GIC (MPa = 165.7 ± 5.769) (p value > 0.05). Cumulative fluoride-releasing pattern at days 7, 14, and 28 were 10% cinnamon-GIC > 5% thyme-GIC > 5% cinnamon-GIC > 10% thyme GIC > conventional GIC. CONCLUSIONS Incorporation of 5% cinnamon oil into glass ionomer resulted in better antimicrobial effects against S. mutans and C. albicans and increased fluoride-release capacity without jeopardizing its compressive strength. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The 5% cinnamon-modified GIC appears to be a promising alternative restorative material in ART technique.

Abstract
Introduction Propolis has been used traditionally for different human diseases and even recently as dental biomaterials because of its antibacterial, antimycotic, and anti-inflammatory properties. However, a proper correlation between in vitro and in vivo anti-inflammatory properties has not been clearly established. Methods The composition of propolis was determined by high-performance liquid chromatography–ultraviolet mass spectrometry (HPLC-UV-MS). Viability of ethanolic propolis solution was evaluated by thiazolyl blue tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay on murine macrophages. The anti-inflammatory properties were assessed both in vitro through the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) quantification of various cytokines and in vivo by induced edemas. Results Chemical analysis showed pinocembrin, pinobanksin-3-O-acetate, and pinobanksin-3-O-propionate as the main components of propolis. Macrophage viability was high (106%) when propolis was used up to 50 µg/mL. ELISA studies showed a reduction in the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α) up to 145 pg/mL, 350 pg/mL, and 210 pg/mL, respectively, while the anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-10 and IL-4) were increased up to 833 pg/mL and 446 pg/mL. Finally, edema was reduced on paw and ear mice by 9% and 22%, respectively. Conclusion Mayan propolis has strong in vitro anti-inflammatory properties without compromising macrophage viability, resulting in a low-to-mild in vivo anti-inflammatory response.

Abstract
Objective To assess if incorporating ethanolic extract of propolis into ceramic-reinforced glass ionomer (Amalgomer CR) might have an influence on its physicomechanical properties. Materials and Methods Three groups were assessed; group I: Amalgomer CR (control) and two experimental groups (II and III) of propolis added to the liquid of Amalgomer CR with 25 and 50 v/v %, respectively. Evaluation parameters were color stability, compressive strength, microhardness, and surface roughness. Representative specimens of each group were analyzed by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to compare the results, followed by a Tukey post hoc test (p < 0.05). Results Nonsignificant color change for both groups of modified Amalgomer CR. Meanwhile, the two experimental groups exhibited a significant increase in both compressive strength and microhardness. Simultaneously, there was a significant difference in roughness values among groups with the lowest roughness values exhibited by the 50 v/v % propolis concentration. Conclusions Modification of Amalgomer CR with 50 v/v % propolis may increase its mechanical properties without compromising its esthetic. Clinical Significance. Modification of Amalgomer CR by 50 v/v % propolis is supposed to be a hopeful restorative material with favorable characteristics.

Abstract
Copper nanoparticles (NCu) were synthetized and added to commercial glass ionomer cement, to evaluate in vitro its antibacterial activity against oral cavity strains. The NCu were synthesized by copper acetate reduction with L-ascorbic acid and characterized by FTIR, Raman, XPS, XRD and TEM. Then, commercial glass ionomer cement (GIC) was modified (MGIC) with various concentrations of NCu and physicochemically characterized. Cell viability was tested against human dental pulp fibroblasts (HDPFs) by Alamar-Blue assay and antibacterial test was performed against S. mutans and S. sanguinis by colony forming unit (CFU) growth method. Synthesized NCu rendered a mixture of both metallic copper and cuprous oxide (Cu2O). HDPF viability reduces with exposure time to the extracts (68-72% viability) and MGIC with 2-4 wt% NCu showed antimicrobial activity against the two tested strains.

Abstract
Objectives
The focus of this triple-blind randomized study was to evaluate the mechanical properties, antibacterial effect, and
in vivo
biocompatibility of glass ionomer cements (GICs) modified with ethanolic extracts of propolis (EEP).
Materials and Methods
For biocompatibility tests, 135 male Wistar rats were used and divided into nine groups: Group C (control, polyethylene), Groups M, M10, M25, M50 (Meron; conventional, and modified with 10%, 25%, 50% EEP, respectively), Groups KC, KC10, KC25, KC50 (Ketac Cem; conventional, and modified with 10%, 25%, 50% EEP, respectively). The tissues were analyzed under an optical microscope for different cellular events in different time intervals. Shear bond strength test (SBST) on cementation of metal matrices (
n
= 10, per group), adhesive remnant index (ARI) in bovine incisors (
n
= 10, per group), and antibacterial properties by the agar diffusion test (
n
= 15, per group) were analyzed.
Statistical Analysis
Data were analyzed by Kruskal–Wallis test followed by Dunn, and one-way analysis of variance test followed by Tukey’s test (
p
< 0.5).
Results
Morphological evaluation demonstrated intense inflammatory infiltrate in Groups M10 and KC10 in the time intervals of 7 (
p
= 0.001) and 15 (
p
= 0.006) days. Multinucleated giant cells were shown to be more present in Group M1, with statistical difference from Control and KC50 Groups in the time interval of 7 days (
p
= 0.033). The SBST showed no statistical significance among the groups (
p
> 0.05). Antibacterial property showed a statistically significant difference between Meron and Meron 50%-EEP Groups, and between Ketac and Ketac 50%-EPP Groups (
p
= 0.001).
Conclusions
The intensity of histological changes resulting from the cements was shown to be inversely proportional to the concentration of propolis added; Ketac 50%-EPP was the concentration that had the most favorable biocompatibility results. Addition of EEP to GIC did not negatively change the SBST and ARI. Antibacterial property demonstrated a concentration-dependent effect.

Abstract
Background The antimicrobial activity of restorative materials has a major role in preventing recurrent caries. Aim To assess the antimicrobial activity of triphala and propolis-modified glass ionomer cement (GIC) against Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus. Materials and methods The samples were prepared using cylindrical molds (6 mm in diameter and 2 mm in thickness). A total of 30 samples were prepared containing 10 samples in each group. Group I, 10 samples of glass ionomer with aqueous extract of triphala were prepared; group II, 10 samples of glass ionomer with 50% of ethanolic extract of propolis (EEP); and group III as control consisting of 10 samples of glass ionomer. The samples were placed in to agar plates containing inoculum of S. mutans and Lactobacillus and incubated at 37°C for 48 hours and using a digital caliper, zones of inhibition formed around specimens were measured. Results Data obtained were analyzed using nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis test followed by pairwise comparison was done using Dunn-Bonferroni test. Group I and group II showed highest antimicrobial efficacy against S. mutans and Lactobacillus with no statistical significant difference, i.e., (p value > 0.05) but in both groups I and II, there was a statistical significant difference when comparing with group III i.e., (p < 0.05). Conclusion Thus, triphala and propolis-modified GIC provided higher antibacterial effect with increased level of inhibition against the S. mutans and Lactobacillus; hence, it can be used as a choice of restorative material to treat dental caries. Further studies are required to determine the physical and mechanical characteristics of the material. How to cite this article Paulraj J, Nagar P.

Abstract
Background: Orthodontic treatments progress alongside the development of adhesive materials. The present study aimed to determine the antibacterial properties of propolis, a natural product, in a mixture of resin-modified glass ionomer cement by observing the growth inhibition zone of Streptococcus mutans.Methods: This was an in vitro study conducted on 45 samples of adhesive material, which were divided into control group (resin-modified glass ionomer cement bracket adhesive material), two groups of propolis concentrations (15%, and 25%) and duration (0, 15, and 30 days). The antibacterial effect of each sample was evaluated against S. mutans using an agar plate diffusion test. Measurement of the diameter of the growth inhibition zone of S. mutans was carried out. The data obtained were analyzed statisticallyThe significance value of the Kruskal Wallis and Mann-Whitney test was set at p <0.05, while the significance value of the normality and homogeneity test was set at p> 0.05). Datas in this study that were not normally distributed (p = 0.012) but homogeneous (p = 0.110) were analyzed by the Kruskal-Wallis test (p = 0.003) and then the Mann-Whitney test was performed to determine differences in significance between groups. Results: There was a relationship between concentration and duration of propolis to the growth inhibition zone of S. mutans (p=0.003). The addition of 25% propolis concentration inhibited the growth of S. mutans more than the addition of 15% and without propolis (control group). The addition of propolis to resin-modified glass ionomer cement for 15 days was more effective in inhibiting the growth of S. mutans.Conclusion: The addition of propolis to adhesive materials provides an inhibitory effect on the growth of S. mutans, which may be effective in the world of preventive dentistry.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of polyhexamethylene guanidine hydrochloride (PHMGH) in the physico-chemical properties and antibacterial activity of an experimental resin sealant. An experimental resin sealant was formulated with 60 wt.% of bisphenol A glycol dimethacrylate and 40 wt.% of triethylene glycol dimethacrylate with a photoinitiator/co-initiator system. PHMGH was added at 0.5 (G0.5%), 1 (G1%), and 2 (G2%) wt.% and one group remained without PHMGH, used as control (GCTRL). The resin sealants were analyzed for degree of conversion (DC), Knoop hardness (KHN), and softening in solvent (ΔKHN), ultimate tensile strength (UTS), contact angle (θ) with water or α-bromonaphthalene, surface free energy (SFE), and antibacterial activity against Streptococcus mutans for biofilm formation and planktonic bacteria. There was no significant difference for DC (p > 0.05). The initial Knoop hardness ranged from 17.30 (±0.50) to 19.50 (± 0.45), with lower value for GCTRL (p < 0.05). All groups presented lower KHN after immersion in solvent (p < 0.05). The ΔKHN ranged from 47.22 (± 4.30) to 57.22 (± 5.42)%, without significant difference (p > 0.05). The UTS ranged from 54.72 (± 11.05) MPa to 60.46 (± 6.50) MPa, with lower value for G2% (p < 0.05). PHMGH groups presented no significant difference compared to GCTRL in θ (p > 0.05). G2% showed no difference in SFE compared to GCTRL (p > 0.05). The groups with PHMGH presented antibacterial activity against biofilm and planktonic bacteria, with higher antibacterial activity for higher PHMGH incorporation (p < 0.05). PHMGH provided antibacterial activity for all resin sealant groups and the addition up to 1 wt.% showed reliable physico-chemical properties, maintaining the caries-protective effect of the resin sealant over time.

Abstract
Aim: The aim of this article is to review the literature on the use of antimicrobial additives in glass-ionomer dental cements. Method: An electronic search between 1987 and the end of 2017 was performed using PubMed, Web of Science and Google search engines with the terms glass-ionomer, glass polyalkenoate, antibacterial and antimicrobial as the key words. The search was refined by excluding the majority of references concerned with cement antimicrobial properties only. Extra papers already known to the authors were added to those considered. Results: A total of 92 relevant articles have been cited in the review of which 55 are specifically concerned with the enhancement of antibacterial properties of glass-ionomers, both conventional and resin-modified, with additives. In addition, information is included on the uses of glass-ionomers and the biological properties of the antibacterial additives employed. There are several reports that show that additives are typically released by diffusion, and that a high proportion is usually left behind, trapped in the cement. Additives generally increase setting times of cements, and reduce mechanical properties. However, smaller amounts of additive have only slight effects and the longer-term durability of cements appears unaffected. Conclusion: Modified glass-ionomer cements seem to be acceptable for clinical use, especially in the Atraumatic Restorative Treatment (ART) technique.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aims of this study were to investigate the effects of water aging for up to 6months on the mechanical and anti-biofilm properties of a novel antibacterial glass ionomer cement (GIC) containing dimethylaminododecyl methacrylate (DMADDM). METHODS GIC specimens (n=180) which contained DMADDM (0wt.%, 1.1wt.% or 2.2wt.%) were prepared. The mechanical properties surface roughness, microhardness and the surface charge density of ammonium groups were measured before and after water aging for 3 and 6months at 37°C. Further six months aged specimens (n=216) were worn by 6 volunteers in their oral cavities for 24h and 72h. Biofilm formation was analyzed and rated by fluorescence microscopy (FM) and by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Biofilm viability was analyzed by FM. RESULTS Water aging did not show any adverse effects on the surface roughness and hardness of the material. The surface charge density of the GIC samples containing DMADDM decreased due to the aging procedure, however, was still higher than that of the GIC without DMADDM. In situ biofilm formation was significantly reduced after 24h on DMADDM containing GIC (p<0.05). FM results showed a higher ratio of red/green fluorescence on GIC-DMADDM samples. SIGNIFICANCE Incorporating DMADDM into GIC affected the material properties in a tolerable manner even after 6months of storage in water. The new GIC is a promising material to affect the biofilm formation on the surface of restorations.

Abstract
One of the primary causes for the failure of glass ionomer cement (GIC) is secondary caries. To enhance the anti-microbial performance of GIC without affecting its mechanical properties, chlorhexidine (CHX) was encapsulated in expanded-pore mesoporous silica nanoparticles (pMSN) to synthesize CHX@pMSN. CHX@pMSN was added at three mass fractions (1%, 5%, and 10% (w/w)) to GIC powder as the experimental groups. Pure GIC was set as the control group. The mechanical and anti-biofilm properties of GIC from each group were tested. The results demonstrated that CHX was successfully encapsulated on/into pMSN, and the encapsulating efficiency of CHX was 44.62% in CHX@pMSN. The anti-biofilm ability was significantly enhanced in all experimental groups (p < 0.001) compared with that in the control group. CHX was continuously released, and anti-biofilm ability was maintained up to 30 days. In addition, the mechanical properties (compressive strength, surface hardness, elastic modulus, water sorption, and solubility) of 1% (w/w) group were maintained compared with those in the control group (p > 0.05). In conclusion, adding 1% (w/w) CHX@pMSN to GIC led to conspicuous anti-biofilm ability and had no adverse effect on the mechanical properties of this restorative material. This study proposes a new strategy for preventing secondary caries by using CHX@pMSN-modified GIC.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Propolis is a natural resinous substance produced by honey bees. The antimicrobial effects of glass ionomer cement have been shown to improve with the addition of propolis; however its effect on the physicomechanical properties of the cement is not known. AIM The purpose of this study was to evaluate the compressive strength and solubility of conventional restorative glass ionomer cement following the addition of propolis. STUDY DESIGN Twenty half cylindrical samples were prepared with conventional restorative glass ionomer cement formed the control group. Another twenty samples were prepared with propolis added to conventional restorative glass ionomer cement formed the experimental group. The compressive strength was assessed using universal testing machine. To assess solubility, the samples were immersed in deionised water at room temperature, for 7 days. The solubility was measured as a difference in the weight of the sample; prior to immersion and following immersion at the end of each day. RESULTS The control group had a significantly higher mean compressive strength of 146.26 Mpa as compared to the experimental group (135.06 Mpa). The solubility between the groups was significant. CONCLUSION In comparison to the control group, incorporation of propolis to conventional restorative glass ionomer cement decreased the compressive strength significantly. The solubility of the cement in the experimental group increased significantly over 7day period as compared to the control group.
