Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the in vitro biocompatibility of human gingival fibroblasts with preformed paediatric crowns and resistance to acid exposure at levels that simulate the oral environment. METHODS This laboratory study investigated primary HGFs viability, metabolic activity, cytotoxicity, and apoptotic events on preformed metal crown discs, composite resin-coated wells, and monolithic zirconia fragments at 24, 48, and 72 h using the ApoTox-Glo Triplex assay. The PPCs were also immersed in 0.1% lactic acid, 0.2% phosphoric acid, or 10% citric acid for 7 days at 37 °C to reproduce conditions associated with dietary intake or gastric reflux. Samples were then subject to inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry to quantitate the release of ions. RESULTS The viability of HGFs on stainless steel and CR significantly declined at 48 and 72 h, representing potential cytotoxicity (p < 0.05). Cytotoxicity of HGFs was also higher for stainless steel and ZR compared to control (p < 0.05). PMCs and ZR crowns gave minimal ion release. Meanwhile, significant quantities of metallic ions, including copper (Cu), iron (Fe), nickel (Ni), and zinc (Zn), were present in eluates from veneered-preformed metal crowns. CONCLUSION As PPCs can be exposed to highly acidic environments for many years, thus the release of metallic ions from V-PMCs should form the further investigation in future studies.

Assessment of the influence of metal ions released from the fixed orthodontic appliances on the static friction and surface topography of stainless steel and I archwires: An in-vitro study. J Orthod Sci 2023; 12:82. [PMID: 38234657 PMCID: PMC10793865 DOI: 10.4103/jos.jos_58_23] [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: 04/21/2023] [Revised: 05/05/2023] [Accepted: 07/21/2023] [Indexed: 01/19/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Static friction force between the orthodontic brackets and wire impacts the sliding mechanics that affect teeth movements and treatment duration. This sliding media is jam-packed with released metal ions from the fixed appliances. This study aimed to assess the static frictional force and surface topography of stainless steel (SS) and I archwires in dry conditions and in media fully with metal ions that were released from fixed appliances. METHODS In this research study, a set of 60 as-received straight archwires specimens (5 cm wire) were employed and categorized into two groups based on the material type [30 super elastics new I archwires gauge (0.018 × 0.014 inch) and 30 SS archwires 0.018 × 0.022" as a control]. The archwires' static friction force was measured while sliding a loaded Roth SS brackets (0.018") on the archwire using a universal tensile testing machine in dry and metal ions released media, while the surface topography was assessed using a noncontact AFM machine. RESULTS The static friction of I archwire was significantly lower than the SS wire in dry condition. Metal ions media released from fixed appliances significantly reduced the Static friction compared to dry and wet conditions with deionized water for both wires. An Atomic Force Microscope machine surface roughness reports revealed that the highest mean of all three roughness parameters was found in the SS group, followed by I archwires in descending order. Additionally, metal ions media significantly reduce all roughness parameters.

Abstract
Subtle toxic effects may be masked in traditional assays that average or summate the response of thousands of cells. We overcome this by using the recent method of single cell tracking in time-lapse recordings. This follows the fate and behavior of individual cells and their progeny and provides unambiguous results for multiple simultaneous biological responses. Further, single cell tracking permits correlation between progeny relationships and cell behavior that is not otherwise possible, including disruption by toxins and toxicants of similarity between paired sister cells. Notably, single cell tracking seems not to have been previously used to study biomaterials toxicity. The culture medium was pre-conditioned by 79 days incubation with orthodontic brackets from seven separate commercial sources. Metal levels were determined by Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry. Metal levels varied amongst conditioned media, with elevated Cr, Mn, Ni, and Cu and often Mo, Pb, Zn, Pd, and Ag were occasionally found. The effect on human dermal fibroblasts was determined by single cell tracking. All bracket-conditioned media reduced cell division (p < 0.05), while some reduced cell migration (p < 0.05). Most bracket-conditioned media increased the rate of asynchronous sister cell division (p < 0.05), a seemingly novel measure for toxicity. No clear effect on cell morphology was seen. We conclude that orthodontic brackets have cytotoxic effects, and that single cell tracking is effective for the study of subtle biomaterials cytotoxicity.

Abstract
The purpose of the present study is twofold: (i) to assess the salivary nickel, chromium, and iron concentrations and (ii) to characterize the surface microstructure of the typical commercially available Ni-containing metallic appliances during the first 12-week orthodontic treatment period. A total of 85 unstimulated saliva samples were collected from patients before treatment, after 2 days, and after 1, 4, and 12 weeks. Salivary ion concentrations were determined by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy, and data were analyzed with the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (IBM SPSS) software. The recorded mean metal concentrations were in the ranges of 132–175 µg/L for Ni, 171–192 µg/L for Cr, and 826–1023 µg/L for Fe. No statistically significant variations were observed between the different study times, and the null hypothesis (the concentrations of metallic ions in patients’ saliva did not significantly change after the placement of the orthodontic appliances) was accepted (p > 0.05). Mean salivary metallic ions were below toxic levels, and no adverse clinical reactions were registered. The intraoral surface degradation of the fixed components was corroborated by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and energy dispersive spectrometry. Microstructural analysis after complete orthodontic procedure confirmed different corrosion types, from pitting to biocorrosion.

Abstract
Background To compare the effect of different mouth washes on metallic ions release from silver-soldered and laser-welded orthodontic attachments. Materials and Methods In this comparative in vitro study, 32 samples of molar bands without attachments were used. Sixteen samples were silver soldered to stainless steel (SS) wire and 16 samples were laser welded using laser welding device to SS wire. Each group samples were divided into four test groups and submerged in solution containing sodium fluoride (NaF), NaF + alcohol (NaF + alcohol), Chlorhexidine (CHX), and artificial saliva (AS). Samples were shaken for 24 h with an agitation rate of 60 rpm. One sample from each group was selected to study the morphologic changes on their surfaces through scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and remaining samples were studied for metal ions released and dissolved in the solutions using spectrometry. The metal ions release values of two different attachment methods in three different mouth washes and AS group were compared using the unpaired t-test. A two-way analysis of variance was used to identify the significant differences between the two types of orthodontic attachments immersed in four different types of solutions. P < 0.05 was defined to be set significant for all tests. Results Level of metal ions released from the samples of silver soldering was higher than from laser welding. The lowest amounts of metal ions were released in CHX while highest in NaF + alcohol. The SEM images were in accordance with these findings. Conclusion Laser welding should be preferred over silver soldering for the construction of orthodontic appliances. CHX containing mouthwashes such as Hexidine can be prescribed for the patients undergoing orthodontic treatment. More in vivo experiments will determine whether the levels of dissolved nickel ions can reach the toxic or sub-toxic concentrations or not.

Abstract
The aim was to assess the composition of released metal ions from fixed orthodontic appliances both in an in vitro and in vivo setting and to compare their quantities to evaluate any possible health risks associated with them. For the in vitro setting, a set of 24 as-received sterile SS brackets, 2 SS sterile archwires, and 2 NiTi sterile archwires were aged for 90 days in artificial saliva, and released metal ion concentrations were determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), using matrix-matched standards for calibration. For the in vivo setting, 15 brackets, 15 SS, and 15 NiTi archwires were retrieved after 90 days of intraoral exposure in 15 subjects. Debris composition on each part of the orthodontic appliance was assessed using scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM/EDS). The present study evidenced a difference in the composition of released metal ions from fixed orthodontic appliances detected in an in vitro and in vivo setting. Generally, the relative content of metal ions was higher in the retrieved debris than that released in artificial saliva. The concentration of released metal ions from all tested alloys was below the upper recommended limit of daily intake; however, possible local effects in terms of hypersensitivity due to their accumulation in the debris cannot be excluded even with such concentrations.

Abstract
The orthodontic kinetic release of metal ions was studied in order to have a conclusive in vivo data for variation of metal ion concentrations with time (month) at normal oral temperature 37°C, which affects the saliva quality and quantity, pH, and chemical and physical characteristics of food and liquid. The superficial breakdown and release of metals from the alloy brackets were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-Ray spectroscopy (EDS) images. The kinetic release experiment of the metal ion concentrations (nickel, chromium, titanium, iron, and copper) in the saliva uptakes follows a pseudo-second-order kinetic model; the release rate of metal ions was in series Fe2+ > Ti2+ > Ni2+ > Cu2+ > Cr3+, and the highest saliva pH and flow rate were detected after 1 month for fixed orthodontics appliance was (7.16 ± 0.55) and (0.88 ± 0.55) respectively.

Abstract
Background: Adjunct chlorhexidine mouthrinse is used routinely in orthodontic clinical practice for plaque control. However, chlorhexidine has genotoxic effects on the oral cells. Moreover, orthodontic appliance leach Ni, Cr metals ions into saliva causing toxicity of surrounding mucosa. Hence, the aim of the study was to assess the periodontal status and genotoxicity in orthodontic patients on fixed mechanotherapy with and without adjunct chlorhexidine using micronucleus (MN) test. Materials and Methods: A randomized control clinical trial was conducted in 30 patients who were on fixed mechanotherapy. The patients were randomly assigned into two treatment groups; Group-A (Control Group): Included 15 patients who are on fixed orthodontic therapy with mechanical plaque control measures only., Group-B (Experimental Group:) included 15 patients on fixed orthodontic therapy with mechanical plaque control and adjunct chlorhexidine mouthrinse (0.2%) for 2 weeks. Periodontal status and genotoxicity using MN test were done at following time points; T0: Just before start of the orthodontic treatment., T1: 2 weeks after start of the orthodontic treatment., T2: 6 weeks after start of the orthodontic treatment., T3: 12 weeks after start of the orthodontic treatment. Results: Plaque index (PI) and bleeding on probing (BOP) were significantly decreased in Group B as compared to Group A in the time intervals; T0-T2, T0-T3, T1-T3 (P < 0.05). Probing pocket depth (PPD) and Clinical attachment level (CAL) showed no significant change in both the groups. The genotoxicity assessed by MN test was significantly increased in Group B than Group A at time intervals; T0-T1, T0-T2 and T0-T3. Conclusion: Adjunct chlorhexidine resulted in decreased PI and BOP scores but nonsignificant change in PPD and CAL. However, the genotoxicity increased significantly in both the groups but more with adjunct chlorhexidine.

Abstract
Stainless steels (SS) are the most-used alloys for manufacturing fixed orthodontic appliances due to their attractive set of mechanical properties, biocompatibility, and high corrosion resistance. Nevertheless, during regular orthodontic treatments–taking at least around 2 years–the intraoral environment inevitably degrades these bioalloys, releasing metallic ions into the oral cavity. In the first part of this in vitro study, the corrosion resistance of commercial SS appliances (brackets, tubes, and bands) was evaluated in Fusayama-Meyer artificial saliva at pH values of 2.3 and 6.8 over the course of 30 days. As expected, the results corroborated that salivary pH highly influences corrosion behaviour. Released Ni, Cr, and Fe were within dietary intake values. In the second part, a novel approach for oral corrosion prevention based on the chemical inertness of DLC materials is presented. SS surfaces were functionalized with biocompatible a-C:H-sputtered coatings and submitted to the same experimental conditions. The anticorrosion ability of this system was demonstrated, preventing the pitting corrosion that occurred on the SS substrates. Despite the galvanic coupling effect due to the presence of the Cr-based interlayer, this study enhanced the potential use of the reactive sputter-deposited a-C:H coatings in orthodontics.

Abstract
This work aimed to evaluate the salivary concentration of chemical elements in patients undergoing orthodontic treatment with fixed orthodontic appliances and removable aligners. Twelve Angle Class I and II orthodontic patients undergoing treatment with conventional fixed appliances and 15 patients treated with removable aligners provided unstimulated whole saliva samples before treatment (pre) and after 3 months of treatment (post). The concentration and secretion rate of chemical elements in saliva were determined by total reflection X-ray fluorescence. Differences from pre to post and between groups were determined with the paired T test or Wilcoxon test, and two-way ANOVA, considering P < 0.05. The concentrations of S, Cl, and K decreased, while Zn increased significantly (P < 0.05) between pre and post treatment with the fixed appliance treatment. The salivary secretion rate of S was decreased from pre to post in the fixed appliance group. No differences in the concentration and secretion rate of chemical elements were detected from pre to post in the Invisalign group. Fe secretion rate presented an interaction between time and treatment, with lower secretion at post (P = 0.02) in the Invisalign group. Increased Br secretion rate and decreased Rb, Fe, P, and K in Invisalign patients suggested a better salivary electrolyte profile regarding periodontal bone remodeling. No significant alterations in ions associated with metal corrosion and inflammatory reactions were detected in orthodontic patients under dental plaque control.

Abstract
Nickel is the most common cause of contact allergy in the general population and the most frequently detected allergen in patients patch tested for suspected allergic contact dermatitis (ACD). ACD from nickel is a typical type IV hypersensitivity. Nickel allergy is mostly caused by nonoccupational exposure, such as jewelry and clothing decorations, metal tools, medical devices (mainly orthopedic and orthodontic implants, cardiovascular prosthesis), eyeglasses, utensils, keys, pigment for paint, cosmetics, and food (mainly legumes, chocolate, salmon, peanuts). Occupational exposure can involve several workers (mechanics, metalworkers, platers, hairdressers, jewelers, workers in the constructions and electronic industries), classically involving hands and forearms. The classic clinical pattern of ACD caused by nickel is characterized by eczematous dermatitis involving the sites of direct contact with the metal. Non-eczematous-patterns are reported, including lichenoid dermatitis, granuloma annulare, vitiligo-like lesions, dyshidrosiform dermatitis, and vasculitis. In the case of systemic exposure to nickel, sensitized patients could develop systemic contact dermatitis. Patch testing represents the gold standard for the diagnosis of ACD from nickel. Treatment includes avoidance of contact with products containing nickel and the patient's education about the possible use of alternative products. A recent EU nickel directive, regulating the content and release of nickel from products, has caused a decrease of nickel contact allergy in some European countries. Nickel allergy is a relevant issue of public health with significant personal, social, and economic impact. This review summarizes epidemiology, pathomechanism, clinical patterns, treatment, and prevention programs.

Abstract
A systematic review was conducted to identify the biological responses, allergic reaction, hypersensitivity, toxicity, and ion release profile associated with pediatric stainless steel crowns (SSCs) in the existing literature. A systematic search was undertaken according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses guidelines. The inclusion criteria consisted of patients younger than 20 years of age with SSC placement on primary or permanent teeth and in vivo and in vitro exposure to SSCs. Outcomes measures included adverse oral/mucosal effects; removal/failure/replacement of the SSC; type of allergic reaction; nickel (Ni) or other ion levels in bodily fluids, cellular, genotoxic, cytotoxic, mutagenic or carcinogenic effects related to the SSC. After an initial search of 764 studies in the database, 17 articles were included in the analysis. Evidence of allergic reactions to SSCs in children is limited and obtained from mostly low-quality research. Some studies showed that the amount of Ni detected was less than the amount ingested in the daily diet. In contrast, other studies reported a significantly higher release of Ni occurred into the saliva in acidic environments. There is some concern about the leaching of metal ions such as Ni from SSCs in children at high risk for caries. Further long-term studies are required to investigate this phenomenon.

Pan Y, Lin Y, Jiang L, Lin H, Xu C, Lin D, Cheng H. Removal of dental alloys and titanium attenuates trace metals and biological effects on liver and kidney. CHEMOSPHERE 2020; 243:125205. [PMID: 31726262 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2019.125205] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2019] [Revised: 10/22/2019] [Accepted: 10/23/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
To determine whether the potential effects on liver and kidney caused by dental alloys could be reduced or terminated by the removal of nickel-chromium (Ni-Cr) alloy, cobalt-chromium (Co-Cr) alloy, and commercially pure titanium (CP-Ti), they were placed in the cheek pouches of Syrian hamsters according to ISO 10993-10. Then, the peak/plateau and end times of trace metals in the blood were determined with or without the removal of the dental alloys. Based on these time points, the trace metals and their effects on liver and kidney were examined. We found that trace metals released from these dental alloys and titanium were accumulated transiently in the blood, liver, and kidney but had no effect on the histopathology of the liver or kidney. Although the functions of the liver and kidney were compromised, the function of these tissues seemed to be clinically acceptable compared to those in control Syrian hamsters. In addition, the apoptotic effect on renal cells was terminated by removing the Ni-Cr and Co-Cr alloys, and that on hepatocytes was also eliminated by removing the Ni-Cr alloy. In contrast, the effect of the Co-Cr alloy on hepatocytes was temporary and recovered by itself. Taken together, Ni- and Co-based dental alloys and titanium have no effect on the histopathology or function of liver and kidney. Moreover, Ni-Cr and Co-Cr alloys induce transient trace metal accumulation and apoptotic effects in liver and kidney, which can be reduced or terminated by the removal of the alloys, while CP-Ti shows favorable biocompatibility.

J Trace Elem Med Biol 2017; 40:67-71.

Abstract
The purpose of this retrospective cohort study was to measure the salivary levels of nickel (Ni), chromium (Cr), iron (Fe) and copper (Cu) released from metal and esthetic fixed orthodontic appliances. Ninety patients were divided into three groups (n=30): control (those who had never undergone orthodontic treatment), metal appliance (stainless steel brackets and bands, and nitinol archwires) and esthetic appliance (polycarbonate brackets and tubes, and rhodium-coated nitinol archwires). Patients undergoing orthodontic treatment had used their appliances for periods between one and six months. Ni, Cr, Fe and Cu salivary concentrations were measured by the Total Reflection X-Ray Fluorescence technique. Kruskal-Wallis and Bonferroni-Dunn test showed that Ni (p=0.027) and Cr (p=0.040) concentrations were significantly higher for patients undergoing metallic orthodontic treatment than for the esthetic group. No significant difference regarding Ni and Cr (p=0.447) concentrations were observed between the metal and the control groups (p=0.464 and p=0.447, respectively) or between the esthetic and the control groups (p=0.698 and p=0.912, respectively). Ni and Cr concentrations were significantly influenced by the type of appliance used. Fe and Cu concentrations were not affected by the type or use of orthodontic appliances.

Abstract
Medical grade 316L stainless steel was laser surface melted (LSM) using continuous wave Nd-YAG laser in argon atmosphere at 1 and 5 mm/s. The treated surfaces were characterized using electron backscatter diffraction to study the influence of top surface crystallographic orientation and type of grain boundaries on corrosion resistance, wettability, and biocompatibility. The laser scan velocity was found to have a marginal influence on the surface roughness and the type of grain boundaries. However, the crystal orientation density was found to be relatively high in 1 mm/s samples. The LSM samples showed a higher concentration of {101} and {123} planes parallel to the sample surface as well as a higher fraction of low-angle grain boundaries. The LSM samples were found to exhibit better surface wettability and enhanced the viability and proliferation of human fetal osteoblast cells in vitro when compared to the untreated samples. Further, the corrosion protection efficiency of 316L stainless steel was improved up to 70% by LSM in as-processed condition. The increased concentration of {101} and {123} planes on surfaces of LSM samples increases their surface energy, which is believed to be responsible for the improved in vitro cell proliferation. Further, the increased lattice spacing of these planes and high concentration of low-energy grain boundaries in LSM samples would have contributed to the better in vitro corrosion resistance than untreated 316L stainless steel. Our results indicate that LSM can be a potential treatment option for 316L stainless steel-based biomedical devices to improve biocompatibility and corrosion resistance. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
