RESUMO

Root caries caused by cariogenic bacteria are a burden on a large number of individuals worldwide, especially the elderly. Applying a protective coating to exposed root surfaces has the potential to inhibit the development of caries, thus preserving natural teeth. This study aimed to develop a novel antibacterial coating to combat root caries and evaluate its effectiveness using the antibacterial monomer dimethylaminohexadecyl methacrylate (DMAHDM). DMAHDM was synthesized and incorporated into a resin consisting of 55.8% urethane dimethacrylate (UDMA) and 44.2% TEG-DVBE (UV) at a 10% mass fraction of glass filler. Multiple concentrations of DMAHDM were tested for their impact on the resin's mechanical and physical properties. S. mutans biofilms grown on resin disks were analyzed for antibacterial efficacy. Cytotoxicity was assessed against human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs). The results showed an 8-log reduction in colony-forming units (CFUs) against S. mutans biofilm (mean ± sd; n = 6) (p < 0.05) when 5% DMAHDM was incorporated into the UV resin. There was a 90% reduction in metabolic activity and lactic acid production. A low level of cytotoxicity against HGF was observed without compromising the physical and mechanical properties of the resin. This coating material demonstrated promising physical properties, potent antibacterial effects, and low toxicity, suggesting its potential to protect exposed roots from caries in various dental procedures and among elderly individuals with gingival recession.

RESUMO

Recurrent caries remain a persistent concern, often linked to microleakage and a lack of bioactivity in contemporary dental composites. Our study aims to address this issue by developing a low-shrinkage-stress nanocomposite with antibiofilm and remineralization capabilities, thus countering the progression of recurrent caries. In the present study, we formulated low-shrinkage-stress nanocomposites by combining triethylene glycol divinylbenzyl ether and urethane dimethacrylate, incorporating dimethylaminododecyl methacrylate (DMADDM), along with nanoparticles of calcium fluoride (nCaF2) and nanoparticles of amorphous calcium phosphate (NACP). The biofilm viability, biofilm metabolic activity, lactic acid production, and ion release were evaluated. The novel formulations containing 3% DMADDM exhibited a potent antibiofilm activity, exhibiting a 4-log reduction in the human salivary biofilm CFUs compared to controls (p < 0.001). Additionally, significant reductions were observed in biofilm biomass and lactic acid (p < 0.05). By integrating both 10% NACP and 10% nCaF2 into one formulation, efficient ion release was achieved, yielding concentrations of 3.02 ± 0.21 mmol/L for Ca, 0.5 ± 0.05 mmol/L for P, and 0.37 ± 0.01 mmol/L for F ions. The innovative mixture of DMADDM, NACP, and nCaF2 displayed strong antibiofilm effects on salivary biofilm while concomitantly releasing a significant amount of remineralizing ions. This nanocomposite is a promising dental material with antibiofilm and remineralization capacities, with the potential to reduce polymerization-related microleakage and recurrent caries.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: Composites are commonly used for tooth restorations, but recurrent caries often lead to restoration failures due to polymerization shrinkage-stress-induced marginal leakage. The aims of this research were to: (1) develop novel low-shrinkage-stress (L.S.S.) nanocomposites containing dimethylaminododecyl methacrylate (DMADDM) with nanoparticles of calcium fluoride (nCaF2) or amorphous calcium phosphate (NACP) for remineralization; (2) investigate antibacterial and cytocompatibility properties. METHODS: Nanocomposites were made by mixing triethylene glycol divinylbenzyl ether with urethane dimethacrylate containing 3% DMADDM, 20% nCaF2, and 20% NACP. Flexural strength, elastic modulus, antibacterial properties against Streptococcus mutans biofilms, and cytotoxicity against human gingival fibroblasts and dental pulp stem cells were tested. RESULTS: Nanocomposites with DMADDM and nCaF2 or NACP had flexural strengths matching commercial composite control without bioactivity. The new nanocomposite provided potent antibacterial properties, reducing biofilm CFU by 6 logs, and reducing lactic acid synthesis and metabolic function of biofilms by 90%, compared to controls (p < 0.05). The new nanocomposites produced excellent cell viability matching commercial control (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Bioactive L.S.S. antibacterial nanocomposites with nCaF2 and NACP had excellent bioactivity without compromising mechanical and cytocompatible properties. The new nanocomposites are promising for a wide range of dental restorations by improving marginal integrity by reducing shrinkage stress, defending tooth structures, and minimizing cariogenic biofilms.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: Current dental resins exhibit polymerization shrinkage causing microleakage, which has the potential to cause recurrent caries. Our objectives were to create and characterize low-shrinkage-stress (LSS) composites with dimethylaminododecyl methacrylate (DMADDM) as an antibacterial agent to combat recurrent caries. METHODS: Triethylene glycol divinylbenzyl ether and urethane dimethacrylate were used to reduce shrinkage stress. DMADDM was incorporated at different mass fractions (0%, 1.5%, 3%, and 5%). Flexural strength, elastic modulus, degree of conversion, polymerization stress, and antimicrobial activity were assessed. RESULTS: The composite with 5% DMADDM demonstrated higher flexural strength than the commercial group (p < 0.05). The addition of DMADDM in BisGMA-TEGDMA resin and LSS resin achieved clinically acceptable degrees of conversion. However, LSS composites exhibited much lower polymerization shrinkage stress than BisGMA-TEGDMA composite groups (p < 0.05). The addition of 3% and 5% DMADDM showed a 6-log reduction in Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) biofilm CFUs compared to commercial control (p < 0.001). Biofilm biomass and lactic acid were also substantially decreased via DMADDM (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The novel LSS dental composite containing 3% DMADDM demonstrated potent antibacterial action against S. mutans biofilms and much lower polymerization shrinkage-stress, while maintaining excellent mechanical characteristics. The new composite is promising for dental applications to prevent secondary caries and increase restoration longevity.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the reaction products formed by application of three tooth etchants to hydroxyapatite. METHODS: Tooth etchants with three different compositions, designed for application to teeth before dental adhesive - " K-etchant GEL" (containing phosphoric acid), "Enamel Conditioner" (containing organic acids), and "Multi Etchant" (containing acidic monomer) - were applied to hydroxyapatite plates. RESULTS: Atomic force microscopy measurements revealed that Multi Etchant formed nano-sized particles on the hydroxyapatite. X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectrometer analyses of the powdered hydroxyapatite indicated that Enamel Conditioner produced calcium tartrate whereas K-etchant GEL generated monetite. These results indicated that each etchant reacted with hydroxyapatite in a different way. CONCLUSION: Not only differences among the etching ability of etchants, but also differences in the reaction compounds they produce may influence bonding performance in clinical practice.

RESUMO

This study reports two cases of squamous cell carcinoma of the thyroid (SCCT) presenting as the thyroid goiter, involving one case of primary squamous cell carcinoma originating from the thyroid (PSCCT) and the other case of secondary SCCT of the thyroid. A retrospective analysis of the clinical and pathological findings was done in this study report. In case 1, the thyroid ultrasound showed multi-hypoechoic well-defined nodules, labeled as 3 using Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System, measuring 34.1 mm × 28.9 mm × 30.3 mm and 26.5 mm × 22.2 mm × 23.9 mm in the left in the right lobar thyroid, respectively. The patient underwent surgery and was histologically diagnosed with PSCCT. In case 2, the thyroid ultrasound showed a 25.2 mm × 22.2 mm × 18.8 mm hypoechoic nodule in the right lobar thyroid. The patient underwent a frozen biopsy, the results of which increased suspicion of squamous cell carcinoma. A frozen biopsy was followed by an endoscopic evaluation that detected an ulcerative mass measuring 3.0 cm within the mucosa of esophagus. Due to a scarcity of cases, SCCT is a great challenge for the pathologists and the managing team to come up with the best treatment strategy for the patients.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: A low-shrinkage-stress resin-based cement with antibacterial properties could be beneficial to create a cement with lower stress at the tooth-restoration interface, which could help to enhance the longevity of the fixed dental restoration by reducing microleakage and recurrent caries. To date, there has been no report on the development of a low-shrinkage-stress and bio-interactive cement. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to develop a novel low-shrinkage-stress resin-based cement containing dimethylaminohexadecyl methacrylate (DMAHDM) and investigate the mechanical and antibacterial properties for the first time. METHODS: The monomers urethane dimethacrylate (UDMA) and triethylene glycol divinylbenzyl ether (TEG-DVBE) were combined and denoted as UV resin. Three cements were fabricated: (1) UV+ 0%DMAHDM (experimental control); (2) UV+ 3%DMAHDM, (3) UV+ %5DMAHDM. RelyX Ultimate cement was used as commercial control. Mechanical properties and Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) biofilms growth on cement were evaluated. RESULTS: The novel bio-interactive cement demonstrated excellent antibacterial and mechanical properties. Compared to commercial and experimental controls, adding DMAHDM into the UV cement significantly reduced colony forming unit (CFU) counts by approximately 7 orders of magnitude, metabolic activities from 0.29 ± 0.03 A540/cm2 to 0.01 ± 0.01 A540/cm2, and lactic acid production from 22.3 ± 0.74 mmol/L to 1.2 ± 0.27 mmol/L (n = 6) (p < 0.05). The low-shrinkage-stress cement demonstrated a high degree of conversion of around 70 %, while reducing the shrinkage stress by approximately 60%, compared to a commercial control (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The new antibacterial low-shrinkage-stress resin-based cement provides strong antibacterial action and maintains excellent mechanical properties with reduced polymerization shrinkage stress. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: A low-shrinkage-stress resin-based cement containing DMAHDM was developed with potent antibacterial effects and promising mechanical properties. This cement may potentially enhance the longevity of fixed dental restoration such as a dental crown, inlay, onlay, and veneers through its excellent mechanical properties, low shrinkage stress, and strong antibacterial properties.

RESUMO

The objective of this study is to replace a traditional methacrylate-based primer (glycine, N-(2-hydroxy-3-(2-methyl-1-oxo-2-propenyl)propyl)-N-(4-methylphenyl) monosodium salt, NTG-GMA) with a hydrolytically stable ether-based primer (glycine, N-2-hydroxy-3-(4-vinylbenzyloxy)-propyl-N-(4-methylphenyl), monosodium salt, NTG-VBGE). The performance and durability of bonding composites to detin of two primers combined with methacrylate-based or ether-based adhesives were evaluated using shear bond strength (SBS) and micro-tensile bond strength (µTBS) combined with thermal cycling. The hydrolysis resistance of NTG-VBGE against hydrolysis was tested by challenging primed hydroxyapatite crystals with an esterase. The hydrophilicity of the primers and the resin spreading kinetics of adhesives on primed dentin were characterized by water contact angle measurements. The new primer NTG-VBGE was found to be compatible with both methacrylate-based adhesives and ether-based adhesives. The highest µTBS values were found in the test group of NTG-VBGE and ether-based adhesive, which was consistent with the resin spreading kinetics results. The more hydrophobic and hydrolytically stable primer/adhesive achieved improved dentin infiltration and bonding strength, suggesting significant potential for further developing dental restorative materials with extended service life.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: Recent studies developed low-shrinkage-stress composite with remineralizing and antibacterial properties to combat secondary caries and increase restoration longevity. However, their long-term durability in thermal cycling is unclear. The objectives of this study were to develop an antibacterial, remineralizing and low-shrinkage-stress composite, and to investigate its durability in thermal cycling for 20,000 cycles, equivalent to two years of clinical life. METHODS: The resin consisted of urethane dimethacrylate (UDMA) and triethylene glycol divinylbenzyl ether (TEG-DVBE). Composites were made with 5% dimethylaminohexadecyl methacrylate (DMAHDM) and 20% of nanoparticles of amorphous calcium phosphate (NACP). Composites were thermal cycled at 5°C and 55°C for 20,000 cycles. A human salivary biofilm model was used to evaluate antibiofilm activity before and after thermal cycling. RESULTS: After 20,000 cycles, the flexural strength of bioactive low-shrinkage-stress composite matched commercial control with no antibacterial activity (p > 0.05). Surface roughness was clinically acceptable at less than 0.2 µm. UV+NACP+DMAHDM composite reduced the total microorganisms, total streptococci, and mutans streptococci by 2-5 logs, compared to commercial composite. Biofilm lactic acid production was reduced by 11 folds. The antibacterial performance was maintained after thermal cycling, with no decrease after 20,000 cycles. CONCLUSIONS: Bioactive low-shrinkage-stress composite possessed good mechanical properties that matched commercial composite both before and after thermal cycling. The new composite had potent antibacterial activity, which was maintained and did not decrease after thermal cycling. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: The new bioactive low-shrinkage-stress composite could reduce polymerization shrinkage stress and release calcium and phosphate ions, with good mechanical properties and strong antibacterial function that were durable after thermal cycling. These properties indicate great potential for inhibiting recurrent caries and increasing the restoration longevity.

RESUMO

Background/purpose: A common reason for dental composite restoration failure is recurrent caries at the margins. Our objectives were to: (1) develop a novel low-shrinkage-stress, antibacterial and remineralizing resin composite; (2) evaluate the effects of dimethylaminohexadecyl methacrylate (DMAHDM) on mechanical properties, biofilm inhibition, calcium (Ca) and phosphate (P) ion release, degree of conversion, and shrinkage stress on the new low-shrinkage-stress resin composite for the first time. Material and methods: The resin consisted of urethane dimethacrylate (UDMA) and triethylene glycol divinylbenzyl ether (TEG-DVBE) with high resistance to salivary hydrolytic degradation. Composites were made with 0%-8% of DMAHDM for antibacterial activity, and 20% of nanoparticles of amorphous calcium phosphate (NACP) for remineralization. Mechanical properties and Streptococcus mutans biofilm growth on composites were assessed. Ca and P ion releases, degree of conversion and shrinkage stress were evaluated. Results: Adding 2-5% DMAHDM and 20% NACP into the low-shrinkage-stress composite did not compromise the mechanical properties (p > 0.05). The incorporation of DMAHDM greatly reduced S. mutans biofilm colony-forming units by 2-5 log and lactic acid production by 7 folds, compared to a commercial composite (p < 0.05). Adding 5% DMAHDM did not compromise the Ca and P ion release. The low-shrinkage-stress composite maintained a high degree of conversion of approximately 70%, while reducing the shrinkage stress by 37%, compared to a commercial control (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The bioactive low-shrinkage-stress composite reduced the polymerization shrinkage stress, without compromising other properties. Increasing the DMAHDM content increased the antibacterial effect in a dose-dependent manner.

RESUMO

Dimethacrylate-based resin composites restorations have become widely-used intraoral materials in daily dental practice. The increasing use of composites has greatly enhanced modern preventive and conservative dentistry. They have many superior features, especially esthetic properties, bondability, and elimination of mercury and galvanic currents. However, polymeric materials are highly susceptible to polymerization shrinkage and stresses that lead to microleakage, biofilm formation, secondary caries, and restoration loss. Several techniques have been investigated to minimize the side effects of these shrinkage stresses. The primary approach is through fabrications and modification of the resin matrices. Therefore, this review article focuses on the methods for testing the shrinkage, as well as formulations of resinous matrices available to reduce polymerization shrinkage and its associated stress. Furthermore, this article reviews recent cutting-edge developments on bioactive low-shrinkage-stress nanocomposites to effectively inhibit the growth and activities of cariogenic pathogens and enhance the remineralization process.

RESUMO

The objectives of this in vitro study were to develop a novel low-shrinkage-stress flowable nanocomposite with antibacterial properties through the incorporation of dimethylaminohexadecyl methacrylate (DMAHDM) and nanoparticles of amorphous calcium phosphate (NACP), and investigate the mechanical and oral biofilm properties, to be used in minimally-invasive techniques. METHODS: The light-cured low-shrinkage-stress flowable resin was formulated by mixing urethane dimethacrylate (UDMA) and triethylene glycol divinylbenzyl ether (TEG-DVBE) at a 1:1 mass ratio. Different mass fractions of glass, and either 5% DMAHDM or 20%NACP or both were incorporated. Paste flowability, ultimate micro tensile strength and surface roughness were evaluated. The antibacterial response of DMAHDM resin was assessed by using biofilms of human saliva-derived microcosm model. Virtuoso flowable composite was used as a control. RESULTS: (45% resin+5% DMAHDM+20% NACP+30% glass) formula yielded the needed outcomes. It had flow rate within the range of ISO requirement. The micro tensile strength was (39.1 ± 4.3) MPa, similar to (40.1 ± 4.0) MPa for commercial control (p > 0.05). The surface roughness values of the novel composite (0.079 ± 0.01) µm similar to commercial composite (0.09 ± 0.02) µm (p > 0.05). Salivary microcosm biofilm colony forming unit values were reduced by 5-6 logs (p < 0.05). Biofilm metabolic activity was also substantially reduced, compared to control composite (p < 0.05). SIGNIFICANCE: The novel bioactive flowable nanocomposite achieved strong antibacterial activities without compromising the mechanical properties. It is promising to be used as pit and fissure sealants, and as fillings in conservative cavities to inhibit recurrent caries and increase restoration longevity.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Composites with remineralizing and antibacterial properties are favorable for caries inhibition. The objectives of this study were to develop a new bioactive nanocomposite with remineralizing and antibiofilm properties by incorporating dimethylaminohexadecyl methacrylate (DMAHDM) and nano-calcium fluoride (nCaF2). METHODS: nCaF2 was produced via a spray-drying method and integrated at 15% mass fraction into composite. DMAHDM was added at 3% mass fraction. Mechanical properties and F and Ca ion releases were assessed. Colony-forming units (CFU), lactic acid and metabolic activity of biofilms on composites were performed. RESULTS: The new composites had flexural strengths of (95.28±6.32) MPa and (125.93±7.49) MPa, which were within the ISO recommendations. Biofilm CFU were reduced by 3-4 log (p<0.05). The composites achieved high F releases of (0.89±0.01) mmol/L and (0.44±0.01) mmol/L, and Ca releases of (1.46±0.05) mmol/L and (0.54±0.005) mmol/L. CONCLUSIONS: New nanocomposites were developed with good mechanical properties, potent antibacterial activity against salivary biofilms, and high F and Ca ion releases with potential for remineralization. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Novel nanocomposites using nCaF2 and DMAHDM were developed with potent antibacterial and remineralizing effects and high F and Ca ion releases. They are promising to inhibit recurrent caries, promote remineralization, and possess long-term sustainability.

RESUMO

The aims are: (a) To develop the first low-shrinkage-stress nanocomposite with antibacterial and remineralization capabilities through the incorporation of dimethylaminododecyl methacrylate (DMAHDM) and nanoparticles of amorphous calcium phosphate (NACP); (b) to investigate the effects of the new composite on biofilm inhibition, mechanical properties, shrinkage stress, and calcium (Ca) and phosphate (P) ion releases. The low-shrinkage-stress resin consisted of urethane dimethacrylate and triethylene glycol divinylbenzyl ether. Composite was formulated with 3% DMAHDM and 20% NACP. Mechanical properties, shrinkage stress, and degree of conversion were evaluated. Streptococcus mutans biofilm growth on composites was assessed. Ca and P ion releases were measured. The shrinkage stress of the low-shrinkage-stress composite containing 3% DMAHDM and 20% NACP was 36% lower than that of traditional composite control (p < 0.05), with similar degrees of conversion of 73.9%. The new composite decreased the biofilm colony-forming unit by 4 log orders and substantially reduced biofilm lactic acid production compared to control composite (p < 0.05). Incorporating DMAHDM to the low-shrinkage-stress composite did not adversely affect the Ca and P ion release. A novel bioactive nanocomposite was developed with low shrinkage stress, strong antibiofilm activity, and high levels of ion release for remineralization, without undermining the mechanical properties and degree of conversion.

RESUMO

A low-shrinkage-stress (LSS), antibacterial and remineralizing nanocomposite was recently developed; however, validation of its long-term antibacterial potency in modulating human salivary-derived biofilm is an unmet need. This study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial effect of the bioactive LSS composite before and after aging in acidic solution for 90 days using a multi-species biofilm model, and to evaluate its cytotoxicity. The LSS composite consisted of urethane dimethacrylate (UDMA) and triethylene glycol divinylbenzyl ether (TEG-DVBE), 3% dimethylaminohexadecyl methacrylate (DMAHDM) and 20% nanoparticles of amorphous calcium phosphate (NACP). Biofilm colony-forming units (CFU), lactic acid production, and confocal laser scanning microscopy (3D biofilm) were evaluated before and after three months of aging. Cytotoxicity was assessed against human gingival fibroblasts (HGF). The new LSS composite presented the lowest biofilm CFU, lactic acid and biofilm biomass, compared to controls (n = 6, p < 0.05). Importantly, the new composite exhibited no significant difference in antibacterial performance before and after 90-day-aging, demonstrating long-term antibacterial activity (p > 0.1). The LSS antibacterial and remineralizing composite presented a low cell viability at original extract that has increased with further dilutions. In conclusion, this study spotlighted that the new bioactive composite not only had a low shrinkage stress, but also down-regulated the growth of oral biofilms, reduced acid production, maintained antibacterial activity after the 90-day-aging, and did not compromise the cytocompatibility.

RESUMO

Recurrent dental caries is one of the main reasons for resin composite restoration failures. This study aimed to: (1) develop a bioactive, low-shrinkage-stress, antibacterial and remineralizing composite and evaluate the sustainability of its antibacterial effect against Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) biofilms; and (2) evaluate the remineralization and cariostatic potential of the composite containing nanoparticles of amorphous calcium phosphate (NACP) and dimethylaminohexadecyl methacrylate (DMAHDM), using dentin hardness measurement and a biofilm-induced recurrent caries model. The antibacterial and remineralizing low-shrinkage-stress composite consisted of urethane dimethacrylate (UDMA) and triethylene glycol divinylbenzyl ether (TEG-DVBE), 3% DMAHDM and 20% NACP. S. mutans biofilm was used to evaluate antibiofilm activity, before and after 3 months of composite aging in acidic solution. Human dentin was used to develop a recurrent caries biofilm-model. Adding DMAHDM and NACP into low shrinkage-stress composite did not compromise the flexural strength. The low-shrinkage-stress composite with DMAHDM achieved substantial reductions in biofilm colony-forming units (CFU), lactic acid production, and biofilm biomass (p < 0.05). The low-shrinkage-stress DMAHDM+NACP composite exhibited no significant difference in antibacterial performance before and after 3 months of aging, demonstrating long-term antibacterial activity. Under S. mutans biofilm acidic attack, dentin hardness (GPa) was 0.24 ± 0.04 for commercial control, and 0.23 ± 0.03 for experimental control, but significantly higher at 0.34 ± 0.03 for DMAHDM+NACP group (p < 0.05). At an instrumental compliance of 0.33 µm/N, the polymerization shrinkage stress of the new composite was 36% lower than that of a traditional composite (p < 0.05). The triple strategy of antibacterial, remineralization and lower shrinkage-stress has great potential to inhibit recurrent caries and increase restoration longevity. Statement of Significance Polymerization shrinkage stress, masticatory load over time as well as biochemical degradation can lead to marginal failure and secondary caries. The present study developed a new low-shrinkage-stress, antibacterial and remineralizing dental nanocomposite. Polymerization shrinkage stress was greatly reduced, biofilm acid production was inhibited, and tooth dentin mineral and hardness were preserved. The antibacterial composite possessed a long-lasting antibiofilm effect against cariogenic bacteria S. mutans. The new bioactive nanocomposite has the potential to suppress recurrent caries at the restoration margins, protects tooth structures, and increases restoration longevity.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Pit and fissure sealants with antibacterial and remineralization properties have broad application prospects in caries prevention. The objectives of this study were to: (1) develop a novel pit and fissure sealant containing CaF2 nanoparticles (nCaF2) and dimethylaminohexadecyl methacrylate (DMAHDM); and (2) investigate the effects of nCaF2 and DMAHDM on biofilm response and fluoride (F) ion release for the first time. METHODS: Helioseal F was used as a control. Bioactive sealants were formulated with DMAHDM and nCaF2. Flow properties, enamel shear bond strength, hardness and F ion releases were measured. Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) biofilms were grown on sealants. Biofilm metabolic activity, lactic acid production, colony-forming units (CFU), and pH of biofilm culture medium were measured. RESULTS: Adding 5% DMAHDM and 20% nCaF2 did not reduce the paste flow and enamel bond strength, compared to control (p < 0.05). Hardness of sealants with 20% nCaF2 and DMAHDM was higher than control (p < 0.05). The F ion release from 20% nCaF2 was much higher than that of commercial control (p < 0.05). The sealant with DMAHDM reduced the S. mutans biofilm CFU by 4 logs. The pH in biofilm medium of the new bioactive sealant was much higher (pH 6.8) than that of commercial sealant (pH 4.66) (p < 0.05). SIGNIFICANCE: The new bioactive pit and fissure sealant with nCaF2 and DMAHDM achieved high fluoride release and strong antibacterial performance. This novel fluoride-releasing and antibacterial sealant is promising to inhibit caries and promote the remineralizaton of enamel and dentin.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: Polymerization shrinkage stress may lead to marginal damage, microleakage and failure of composite restorations. The objectives of this study were to : (1) develop a novel nanocomposite with low-shrinkage-stress, antibacterial and remineralization properties to reduce marginal enamel demineralization under biofilms; (2) evaluate the mechanical properties of the composite and calcium (Ca) and phosphate (P) ion release; and (3) investigate the cytotoxicity of the new low-shrinkage-stress monomer in vitro. METHODS: The low-shrinkage-stress resin consisted of urethane dimethacrylate (UDMA) and triethylene glycol divinylbenzyl ether (TEG-DVBE), and 3 % dimethylaminohexadecyl methacrylate (DMAHDM) and 20 % calcium phosphate nanoparticles (NACP) were added. Mechanical properties, polymerization shrinkage stress, and degree of conversion were evaluated. The growth of Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) on enamel slabs with different composites was assessed. Ca and P ion releases and monomer cytotoxicity were measured. RESULTS: Composite with DMAHDM and NACP had flexural strength of 84.9 ±â€¯10.3 MPa (n = 6), matching that of a commercial control composite. Adding 3 % DMAHDM did not negatively affect the composite ion release. Under S. mutans biofilm, the marginal enamel hardness was 1.2 ±â€¯0.1 GPa for the remineralizing and antibacterial group, more than 2-fold the 0.5 ±â€¯0.07 GPa for control (p < 0.05). The polymerization shrinkage stress of the new composite was 40 % lower than that of traditional composite control (p < 0.05). The new monomers had fibroblast viability similar to that of traditional monomer control (p > 0.1). CONCLUSION: A novel low-shrinkage-stress nanocomposite was developed with remineralizing and antibacterial properties. This new composite is promising to inhibit recurrent caries at the restoration margins by reducing polymerization stress and protecting enamel hardness.
