Abstract
Poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) has been used as a biodegradable vascular scaffold (BVS) material due to high mechanical property, biodegradability, and biocompatibility. However, acidic byproducts from hydrolysis of PLLA reduce the pH after the surrounding implanted area and cause inflammatory responses. As a result, severe inflammation, thrombosis, and in-stent restenosis can occur after implantation by using BVS. Additionally, polymers such as PLLA could not find on X-ray computed tomography (CT) because of low radiopacity. To this end, here, we fabricated PLLA films as the surface of BVS and divided PLLA films into two coating layers. At the first layer, PLLA film was coated by 2,3,5-triiodobenzoic acid (TIBA) and magnesium hydroxide (MH) with poly(D,L-lactic acid) (PDLLA) for radiopaque and neutralization of acidic environment, respectively. The second layer of coated PLLA films is composed of polydopamine (PDA) and then cystamine (Cys) for the generation of nitric oxide (NO) release, which is needed for suppression of smooth muscle cells (SMCs) and proliferation of endothelial cells (ECs). The characterization of the film surface was conducted via various analyses. Through the surface modification of PLLA films, they have multifunctional abilities to overcome problems of BVS effectively such as X-ray penetrability, inflammation, thrombosis, and neointimal hyperplasia. These results suggest that the modification of biodegradable PLLA using TIBA, MH, PDA, and Cys will have important potential in implant applications.

Abstract
Inhibition of oral biofilm formation is critical to prevent and treat dental caries and periodontal diseases. In this study, we synthesized zwitterionic poly(carboxybetaine) (pCB) based polymer as a nonfouling coating to provide anti-bacterial properties to tooth surfaces. Four catechol derived l-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) groups were conjugated to pCB to serve as a surface anchoring group. The pCB-(DOPA)4 polymer was coated on the hydroxyapatite (HA) and enamel samples by simple immersion and characterized by Raman spectroscopy. The nonfouling effectiveness of the pCB based coating was determined by protein adsorption and bacterial adhesion assays. The coating was transparent on sample surfaces. The protein adsorption was significantly reduced to 8.2% and 6.9%, respectively, on pCB-(DOPA)4 coated HA and enamel samples. The pCB-(DOPA)4 -coated samples also demonstrated significantly fewer adhered Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, and Streptococcus mutants compared to the control. This novel coating material provides an innovative approach to resist biofilm formation on tooth surfaces and has great potential in future dental clinical applications.

Abstract
Dental clinicians have relied for centuries on traditional dental materials (polymers, ceramics, metals, and composites) to restore oral health and function to patients. Clinical outcomes for many crucial dental therapies remain poor despite many decades of intense research on these materials. Recent attention has been paid to biomolecules as a chassis for engineered preventive, restorative, and regenerative approaches in dentistry. Indeed, biomolecules represent a uniquely versatile and precise tool to enable the design and development of bioinspired multifunctional dental materials to spur advancements in dentistry. In this review, we survey the range of biomolecules that have been used across dental biomaterials. Our particular focus is on the key biological activity imparted by each biomolecule toward prevention of dental and oral diseases as well as restoration of oral health. Additional emphasis is placed on the structure-function relationships between biomolecules and their biological activity, the unique challenges of each clinical condition, limitations of conventional therapies, and the advantages of each class of biomolecule for said challenge. Biomaterials for bone regeneration are not reviewed as numerous existing reviews on the topic have been recently published. We conclude our narrative review with an outlook on the future of biomolecules in dental biomaterials and potential avenues of innovation for biomaterial-based patient oral care.

Abstract
Polydopamine has been found to be a biocompatible polymer capable of supporting cell growth and attachment, and to have antibacterial and antifouling properties. Together with its ease of manufacture and application, it ought to make an ideal biomaterial and function well as a coating for implants. In this paper, atomic force microscope was used to measure the adhesive forces between polymer-, protein- or polydopamine-coated surfaces and a silicon nitride or polydopamine-functionalised probes. Surfaces were further characterised by contact angle goniometry, and solutions by circular dichroism. Polydopamine was further characterised with infrared spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy. It was found that polydopamine functionalisation of the atomic force microscope probe significantly reduced adhesion to all tested surfaces. For example, adhesion to mica fell from 0.27 ± 0.7 to 0.05 ± 0.01 nN nm-1. The results suggest that polydopamine coatings are suitable to be used for a variety of biomedical applications.
