Mitigating lipopolysaccharide-induced impairment in human dental pulp stem cells with tideglusib-doped nanoparticles: Enhancing osteogenic differentiation and mineralization. Dent Mater 2024; 40:1591-1601. [PMID: 39068091 DOI: 10.1016/j.dental.2024.07.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2024] [Revised: 07/18/2024] [Accepted: 07/23/2024] [Indexed: 07/30/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Drug-loaded non-resorbable polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) are proposed as an adjunctive treatment for pulp regenerative strategies. The present in vitro investigation aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of tideglusib-doped nanoparticles (TDg-NPs) in mitigating the adverse effects of bacterial lipopolysaccharide endotoxin (LPS) on the viability, morphology, migration, differentiation and mineralization potential of human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs). METHODS Cell viability, proliferation, and differentiation were assessed using a MTT assay, cell migration evaluation, cell cytoskeleton staining analysis, Alizarin Red S staining and expression of the odontogenic related genes by a real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) were also performed. Cells were tested both with and without stimulation with LPS at various time points. One-way ANOVA and Tukey's test were employed for statistical analysis (p < 0.05). RESULTS Adequate cell viability was encountered in all groups and at every tested time point (24, 48, 72 and 168 h), without differences among the groups (p > 0.05). The analysis of cell cytoskeleton showed nuclear alteration in cultures with undoped NPs after LPS stimulation. These cells exhibited an in blue diffuse and multifocal appearance. Some nuclei looked fragmented and condensed. hDPSCs after LPS stimulation but in the presence of TDg-NPs exhibited less nuclei changes. LPS induced down-regulation of Alkaline phosphatase, Osteonectin and Collagen1 gene markers, after 21d. LPS half-reduced the cells production of calcium deposits in all groups (p < 0.05), except in the group with TDg-NPs (decrease about 10 %). SIGNIFICANCE LPS induced lower mineral deposition and cytoskeletal disorganization in hDPSCs. These effects were counteracted by TDg-NPs, enhancing osteogenic differentiation and mineralization.

Effect of the anti-Alzheimer drug GSK-3β antagonist on numerical modeling of the energy dissipation through the resin-dentin interface. Dent Mater 2024:S0109-5641(24)00271-9.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to determine the viscoelastic performance and energy dissipation of conditioned dentin infiltrated with polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) doped with tideglusib (TDg) (TDg-NPs). METHODS Dentin conditioned surfaces were infiltrated with NPs and TDg-NPs. Bonded interfaces were created, stored for 24 h and submitted to mechanical and thermal challenging. Resin-dentin interfaces were evaluated through nano-DMA/complex-loss-storage moduli-tan delta assessment and atomic force microscopy (AFM) analysis. RESULTS Dentin infiltrated with NPs and load cycled attained the highest complex modulus at hybrid layer and bottom of hybrid layer. Intertubular dentin treated with undoped NPs showed higher complex modulus than peritubular dentin, after load cycling, provoking energy concentration and breakdown at the interface. After infiltrating with TDg-NPs, complex modulus was similar between peri-intertubular dentin and energy dissipated homogeneously. Tan delta at intertubular dentin was higher than at peritubular dentin, after using TDg-NPs and load cycling. This generated the widest bandwidth of the collagen fibrils and bridge-like mineral structures that, as sight of energy dissipation, fastened active dentin remodeling. TDg-NPs inducted scarce mineralization after thermo-cycling, but these bridging processes limited breakdown zones at the interface. SIGNIFICANCE TDg-based NPs are then proposed for effective dentin remineralization and tubular seal, from a viscoelastic approach.

Investigation of the effect of Tideglusib on the hydroxyapatite formation, crystallinity and elasticity of conditioned resin-dentin interfaces. J Dent 2024; 150:105334.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the effect of dentin infiltration with polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) doped with tideglusib (TDg) (TDg-NPs) on hydroxyapatite formation, crystallinity and elasticity of conditioned resin-dentin interfaces. METHODS Dentin conditioned surfaces were infiltrated with NPs or TDg-NPs. Bonded interfaces were created, stored for 24 h and submitted to mechanical and thermal challenging. Resin-dentin interfaces were evaluated through nanoindentation to determine the modulus of elasticity, X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy through selected area diffraction and bright-filed imaging. RESULTS TDg-NPs provoked peaks narrowing after the diffraction-intensity analysis that corresponded with high crystallinity, with an increased modulus of Young after load cycling in comparison with the samples treated with undoped NPs. New minerals, in the group of TDg-NPs, showed the greatest both deviation of line profile from perfect crystal diffraction and dimension of the lattice strain, i.e., crystallite, grain size and microstrain and 002 plane-texture. The new minerals generated after TDg-NPs application and mechanical loading followed a well defined lineation. Undoped NPs mostly produced small hydroxyapatite crystallites, non crystalline or amorphous in nature with poor maturity. CONCLUSIONS Tideglusib promoted the precipitation of hydroxyapatite, as a major crystalline phase, at the intrafibrillar compartment of the collagen fibrils, enabling functional mineralization. TDg-NPs facilitated nucleation of crystals randomly oriented, showing less structural variation in angles and distances that improved crystallographic relative order of atoms and maturity. Nanocrystals inducted by TDg-NPs were hexagonal prisms of submicron size. Thermal challenging of dentin treated with TDg-NPs have provoked a decrease of functional mineralization and crystallinity, associated to immature hydroxyapatite. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE New polycrystalline lattice formation generated after TDg-NPs infiltration may become correlated with high mechanical performance. This association can be inferred from the superior crystallinity that was obtained in presence of tideglusib. Immature crystallites formed in dentin treated with undoped NPs will account for a high remineralizing activity.

Abstract
Resin-bonded restorations are the most important caries treatment method in clinical practice. Thus, improving the durability of dentin bonding remains a pressing issue. As a promising solution, guided tissue remineralization can induce the formation of apatite nanocrystals to repair defects in the dentin bonding interface. In this study, we present an experimental 20 wt % citric acid (CA) dental etching agent that removes the smear layer. After CA-etching, approximately 3.55 wt % residual CA formed a strong bond with collagen fibrils, reducing the interfacial energy between the remineralizing solution and dentin. CA helped achieve almost complete intrafibrillar and extrafibrillar mineralization after 24 h of mineralization. CA also significantly promoted poly(amidoamine)-induced dentin biomimetic mineralization. The elastic modulus and microhardness of remineralized dentin were restored to that of sound dentin. The remineralized interface reduced microleakage and provided a stronger, longer-lasting bond than conventional phosphate acid-etching. The newly developed CA dental etching agents promoted rapid dentin biomimetic mineralization and improved bonding efficacy through interfacial control, representing a new approach with clinical practice implications.

A novel mussel-inspired desensitizer based on radial mesoporous bioactive nanoglass for the treatment of dentin exposure: An in vitro study. J Mech Behav Biomed Mater 2024; 152:106420. [PMID: 38310812 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2024.106420] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2023] [Revised: 01/18/2024] [Accepted: 01/23/2024] [Indexed: 02/06/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The dentin exposure always leads to dentin hypersensitivity and the acid-resistant/abrasion-resistant stability of current therapeutic approaches remain unsatisfatory. Inspired by the excellent self-polymerization/adherence activity of mussels and the superior mineralization ability of bioactive glass, a novel radial mesoporous bioactive nanoglass coated with polydopamine (RMBG@PDA) was developed for prevention and management of dentin hypersensitivity. METHODS Radial mesoporous bioactive nanoglass (RMBG) was synthesized by the sol-gel process combined with the cetylpyridine bromide template self-assembly technique. RMBG@PDA was synthesized by a self-polymerization process involving dopamine and RMBG in an alkaline environment. Then, the nanoscale morphology, chemical structure, crystalline phase and Zeta potential of RMBG and RMBG@PDA were characterized. Subsequently, the ion release ability, bioactivity, and cytotoxicity of RMBG and RMBG@PDA in vitro were investigated. Moreover, an in vitro experimental model of dentin hypersensitivity was constructed to evaluate the effectiveness of RMBG@PDA on dentinal tubule occlusion, including resistances against acid and abrasion. Finally, the Young's modulus and nanohardness of acid-etched dentin were also detected after RMBG@PDA treatment. RESULTS RMBG@PDA showed a typical nanoscale morphology and noncrystalline structure. The use of RMBG@PDA on the dentin surface could effectively occlude dentinal tubules, reduce dentin permeability and achieve excellent acid- and abrasion-resistant stability. Furthermore, RMBG@PDA with excellent cytocompatibility held the capability to recover the Young's modulus and nanohardness of acid-etched dentin. CONCLUSION The application of RMBG@PDA with superior dentin tubule occlusion ability and acid/abrasion-resistant stability can provide a therapeutic strategy for the prevention and the management of dentin hypersensitivity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Tideglusib has shown great performance in terms of dentin regenerative properties. This study aims to evaluate bonding ability, of demineralized dentin infiltrated with polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) doped with tideglusib (TG) (TG-NPs). METHODS Dentin conditioned surfaces were infiltrated with NPs and TG-NPs. Bonded interfaces were created and stored for 24 h and then submitted to mechanical, chemical and thermal challenging. The resin-dentin interface was evaluated through a doubled dye fluorescent technique and a calcium chelator fluorophore under a confocal laser scanning microscopy, and by field emission scanning electron microscopy. RESULTS Dentin surfaces treated with TG-NPs and load cycled produced higher bond strength than the rest of the groups. Immersion of dentin specimens treated with undoped-NPs in collagenase solution attained the lowest microtensile bond strength (MTBS) values. Both porosity and nanoleakage decreased when dentin was infiltrated with TG-NPs, that revealed strong signals of xylenol orange stain at both hybrid layer and dentinal tubules. The presence of NPs, in general, inducted the presence of mineralized interfaces after mechanical loading and thermocycling. CONCLUSIONS Nanoparticles doped with tideglusib promoted the highest dentin bonding efficacy among groups, as they facilitated the maximum bond strength values with creation of mineral deposits at the hybrid layer and dentinal walls. Tideglusib enabled scarce porosity, nanoleakage and advanced sealing among dentin groups. SIGNIFICANCE Doping hydrophilic polymeric NPs with tideglusib, infiltrated in etched dentin represents a reproducible technique to create reparative dentin at the resin-dentin interface, by inducing therapeutic bioactivity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This review was based on the following question: "What is the state-of-the-art regarding the effect of zinc exposure in the oral cavity on a population of adults and children, compared to dental products containing materials other than zinc, considering in vivo (clinical trials and observational studies) and in vitro studies?" according to a PICOS strategy format. This study aims to analyze zinc application in dental materials, with different compositions and chemical formulations, considering how mechanical and biological properties may influence its clinical applicability. METHODS In vivo (clinical trials: controlled clinical trials (CCTs) and randomized controlled trials (RCTs); and observational studies: case control and cohort studies) trials or in vitro studies published in English or Italian during the last 10 years on children and adult patients with zinc exposure were included by three different reviewers using the MEDLINE (via PubMed), Scopus, and Web of Science electronic databases. RESULTS Titles and abstracts were evaluated following the eligibility criteria. The full texts of eligible studies were then reviewed against the inclusion/exclusion criteria. Scientific and technical information of the 33 included studies were collected into evidence tables, reporting data on in vivo and in vitro studies. A narrative approach was adopted. CONCLUSIONS Antibacterial activity was found to be the most studied property of zinc, but further investigations are needed to establish adjuvant zinc therapies in patients with oral disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine the effect of titanium micro particles (TiP) previously functionalized with nanoparticles doped with dexamethasone (Dex) and doxycycline (Dox), on macrophage polarization and activity. METHODS Macrophages RAW264.7 were cultured in the presence TiP loaded with dexamethasone -NPs (Dex)- and doxycycline -NPs (Dox)-, and as control, TiP with or without doped NPs. Cells were tested with and without previous bacterial lipopolysaccharide endotoxin (LPS) stimulation. Their morphology, proliferation, cytotoxicity, phenotypic change, and cytokines release were assessed by LIVE/DEAD, DNA release, metabolic activity, brightfield and scanning electron microscopy. The test Kruskall-Wallis was used for comparisons, while the cytokine expression profiles were examined by hierarchical clustering (p < 0.05). RESULTS Upon exposure with TiP macrophages were activated and polarized to M1, but without depicting cytotoxic effects. The particles were phagocytised, and vacuolized. When exposed to functionalised TiP with NPs(Dex) and NPs(Dox), the ratio M1/M2 was up to forty times lower compared to TiP alone. When exposed to LPS, TiP reduced cell viability in half. Functionalised TiP with NPs(Dex) inhibited the cytokine release exerted by TiP on macrophages. When macrophages were exposed to functionalised TiPs with NPs(Dex) with and without LPS, the effect of TiP on cytokine secretion was inhibited. SIGNIFICANCE Functionalised TiPs with NPs(Dex) and NPs(Dox) may potentially have beneficial effects on modulating titanium and LPS-related inflammatory reactions.

METHODS Hydroxyapatite nanorods (nHA) and sol-gel-derived 45S5 bioglass (SGD 45S5) powders were synthesized through hydrothermal and sol-gel methods, respectively. First, 25 demineralized dentin disks were divided into five groups. Then, the prepared gels based on 45S5 bioglass with and without hydrolyzed casein (HC) as experimental, nHA gel and Actimins® as positive and commercial reference groups were applied twice a day on disks by a micro applicator. To mimic the oral environment, treated disks were immersed in artificial saliva in a water bath at 37 °C for 7 days. However, in the negative control group, no agent was applied on the samples. FE-SEM, EDS, AFM, and XRD were performed to assess tubule occlusion. One-way ANOVA test was used for statistical analysis and p*<0.05 was set as the significance level. RESULTS The nHA with an average aspect ratio of 2.77 and the SGD 45S5 powders with a polygonal morphology and the average size of 48.64±11.38 µm were synthesized. After treatment, tubule occlusion in HC-SGD 45S5 and nHA gels were shown to be higher than other groups. The root mean square roughness (Rrms) of the above-mentioned gels showed to be 121.54±9.25 nm, and 312.6 ± 9 nm, respectively. CONCLUSION The nHA containing group exhibited the highest tubule occlusion efficiency (i.e., tubule diameter of 0.92±0.32 µm) with a superior mineral precipitation. HC as a novel material demonstrates to be potentially beneficial in DH treatment. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE DH as a common issue may be reduced or eliminated by occlusion of patent dentinal tubules. There are various types of desensitizing agents capable of controlling the DH by the occlusion of patent dentinal tubules. The desensitizing gels developed in this study showed to be promising for clinical and home-use applications.

Effect of doxycycline doped nanoparticles on osteogenic/cementogenic and anti-inflammatory responses of human cells derived from the periodontal ligament. J Dent 2023; 137:104668. [PMID: 37597689 DOI: 10.1016/j.jdent.2023.104668] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/16/2023] [Revised: 08/14/2023] [Accepted: 08/16/2023] [Indexed: 08/21/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES This work aimed to evaluate if doxycycline-doped polymeric nanoparticles possessed any anti-inflammatory effect and promote osteogenic/cementogenic differentiation of stem cells from human periodontal ligament (PDLSCs). METHODS The polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) were produced by a polymerization/precipitation process and doped with doxycycline (Dox-NPs). PDLSCs were cultured in the presence or absence of the NPs under osteogenic medium or IL-1β treatment. Cells' differentiation was assessed by gene expression analysis of osteogenic/cementogenic markers alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and Runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2). An anti-inflammatory effect was also ascertained by analyzing IL-1β gene expression. Adipogenic and chondrogenic differentiation was used to confirm the multipotency of PDLSCs. RESULTS Gene expression of ALP and RUNX2 in PDLSCs was significantly upregulated by the osteogenic medium (ALP: p<0.001; RUNX2: p = 0.005) while Dox-NPs further enhanced ALP gene expression of PDLSCs treated with the osteogenic medium. Furthermore, Dox-NPs suppressed the up-regulation of IL-1β when cells were subjected to an inflammatory challenge. CONCLUSIONS Dox-NPs enhanced PDLSCs differentiation into osteoblasts/cementoblasts lineages while providing an anti-inflammatory effect. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Due to their biocompatibility as well as anti-inflammatory and osteogenic/cementogenic effects, Dox-NPs are potential candidates for being used in periodontal regeneration.

Abstract
The occlusion of dentinal tubules has become a rapid and effective method for treating dentin hypersensitivity. Accurate evaluation of dentin occlusion is critical to illustrate the efficacy of oral care products and to optimize dental therapy in the clinics, which is limited by the conventional two-dimensional (2-D) characterization methods. Here, we demonstrate the visualization of the dentin occlusion via three-dimensional (3-D) characterization using a focused ion beam-scanning electron microscopy (FIB-SEM) tomography. Using the "Slice and View" approach, the material used for occluding dentin tubules is imaged with a very high-resolution voxel (10 nm × 10 nm × 20 nm) from 2-D SEM images and then reconstructed into a 3-D volume, which presents the mode of action of toothpaste for treating dentin hypersensitivity. Meanwhile, quantitative analysis of the depth of occlusion is successfully obtained. This work validates the feasibility of FIB-SEM tomography in the analysis of dentin occlusion within the complicated networks of dentine tubules at the nanoscale, and provides a novel approach to facilitate the research and development of oral care products.

Abstract
Calcium phosphate (CaP)-based materials have been extensively used for mineralized tissues in the craniofacial complex. Owing to their excellent biocompatibility, biodegradability, and inherent osteoconductive nature, their use as delivery systems for drugs and bioactive factors has several advantages. Of the three mineralized tissues in the craniofacial complex (bone, dentin, and enamel), only bone and dentin have some regenerative properties that can diminish due to disease and severe injuries. Therefore, targeting these regenerative tissues with CaP delivery systems carrying relevant drugs, morphogenic factors, and ions is imperative to improve tissue health in the mineralized tissue engineering field. In this review, the use of CaP-based microparticles, nanoparticles, and polymer-induced liquid precursor (PILPs) amorphous CaP nanodroplets for delivery to craniofacial bone and dentin are discussed. The use of these various form factors to obtain either a high local concentration of cargo at the macroscale and/or to deliver cargos precisely to nanoscale structures is also described. Finally, perspectives on the field using these CaP materials and next steps for the future delivery to the craniofacial complex are presented.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of novel polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) doped with dexamethasone (Dex) on viscoelasticity, crystallinity and ultra-nanostructure of the formed hydroxyapatite after NPs dentin infiltration. METHODS Undoped-NPs, Dex-doped NPs (Dex-NPs) and zinc-doped-Dex-NPs (Zn-Dex-NPs) were tested at dentin, after 24 h and 21 d. A control group without NPs was included. Coronal dentin surfaces were studied by nano-dynamic mechanical analysis measurements, atomic force microscopy, X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. Mean and standard deviation were analyzed by ANOVA and Student-Newman-Keuls multiple comparisons (p < 0.05). RESULTS At 21 d of storage time, both groups doped with Dex exhibited the highest complex, storage and loss moduli among groups. Zn-Dex-NPs and Dex-NPs promoted the highest and lowest tan delta values, respectively. Dex-NPs contributed to increase the fibril diameters of dentin collagen over time. Dentin surfaces treated with Zn-Dex-NPs attained the lowest nano-roughness values, provoked the highest crystallinity, and produced the longest and shortest crystallite and grain size. These new crystals organized with randomly oriented lattices. Dex-NPs induced the highest microstrain. Crystalline and amorphous matter was present in the mineral precipitates of all groups, but Zn and Dex loaded NPs helped to increase crystallinity. SIGNIFICANCE Dentin treated with Zn-Dex-NPs improved crystallographic and atomic order, providing structural stability, high mechanical performance and tissue maturation. Amorphous content was also present, so high hydroxyapatite solubility, bioactivity and remineralizing activity due to the high ion-rich environment took place in the infiltrated dentin.

Abstract
The organic-inorganic structure in biological hard tissues ensures their marvelous characteristics but these hybrids are easily destroyed by the demineralization of inorganic components, e.g., the damage of dentin. Current clinical materials for hard tissue regeneration commonly act as "fillers" and their therapeutic effect is limited by the failures of biological-linked organic-inorganic interface reconstruction. Herein, a fast in situ crosslinking of calcium phosphate oligomers (CPOs) on collagen matrixes for efficient organic-inorganic interface re-construction, which can result in a biomimetic hybrid, is demonstrated. By using damaged dentin as an example, the inorganic ionic crosslinking can instantly infiltrate into the dentin matrix to rebuild a dense and continuous calcium phosphate-collagen hybrid within only 5 min, where the structurally integrated organic-inorganic interface is identical to natural dentin. As a result, the damaged dentin can be fully recovered to a healthy one, which is superior to any current dentin treatments. The fast construction of biomimetic hybrid by inorganic ionic crosslinking provides a promising strategy for hard tissue repair and follows great potentials of CPOs as advanced biomedical materials in future.

Strontium Carbonate and Strontium-Substituted Calcium Carbonate Nanoparticles Form Protective Deposits on Dentin Surface and Enhance Human Dental Pulp Stem Cells Mineralization. J Funct Biomater 2022; 13:jfb13040250.

Abstract
Strontium acetate is applied for dental hypersensitivity treatment; however, the use of strontium carbonates for this purpose has not been described. The use of Sr-carbonate nanoparticles takes advantage of both the benefits of strontium on dentin mineralization and the abrasive properties of carbonates. Here in, we aimed to synthesize strontium carbonate and strontium-substituted calcium carbonate nanoparticles and test them as potential compounds in active dentifrices for treating dental hypersensitivity. For this, SrCO3, Sr0.5Ca0.5CO3, and CaCO3 nanoparticles were precipitated using Na2CO3, SrCl2, and/or CaCl2 as precursors. Their morphology and crystallinity were evaluated by electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction, respectively. The nanoparticles were added to a poly (vinyl alcohol) gel and used to brush dentin surfaces isolated from human third molars. Dentin chemical composition before and after brushing was investigated by infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray dispersive energy spectroscopy. Dentin tubule morphology, obliteration, and resistance of the coatings to acid attack were investigated by SEM and EDS. The cytotoxicity and ability of the particles to trigger the mineralization of hDPSCs in vitro were studied. Dentin brushed with the nanoparticles was coated by a mineral layer that was also able to penetrate the tubules, while CaCO3 remained as individual particles on the surface. FTIR bands related to carbonate groups were intensified after brushing with either SrCO3 or Sr0.5Ca0.5CO3. The shift of the phosphate-related FTIR band to a lower wavenumber indicated that strontium replaced calcium on the dentin structure after treatment. The coating promoted by SrCO3 or Sr0.5Ca0.5CO3 resisted the acid attack, while calcium and phosphorus were removed from the top of the dentin surface. The nanoparticles were not toxic to hDPSCs and elicited mineralization of the cells, as revealed by increased mineral nodule formation and enhanced expression of COL1, ALP, and RUNX2. Adding Sr0.5Ca0.5CO3 as an active ingredient in dentifrices formulations may be commercially advantageous since this compound combines the well-known abrasive properties of calcium carbonate with the mineralization ability of strontium, while the final cost remains between the cost of CaCO3 and SrCO3. The novel Sr0.5Ca0.5CO3 nanoparticles might emerge as an alternative for the treatment of dental hypersensitivity.

Resin-based materials to control human dentin permeability under erosive conditions in vitro: A hydraulic conductance, confocal microscopy and FTIR study. Dent Mater 2022; 38:1669-1678.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To characterize the behavior of three different polymeric agents before and after an erosive challenge on dentin permeability, to analyze their degradation in both conditions, and to analyze their degree of conversion (DC). METHODS The permeability of human dentin disks (1.0 ± 0.2 mm) was measured with smear layer, after its removal, after treatment (LpTreat) with Gluma Desensitizer, PRG Barrier Coat (PBC) or Icon infiltrant (n = 11/group) and after exposure to citric acid (LpEro) (6%, pH 2.1, 1 min). The specimens were analyzed under a Laser Scanning Confocal Microscope (n = 2/group) and the products' DC were calculated. Data were subjected to 2-way repeated measures ANOVA and post-hoc Bonferroni (permeability analysis), to paired t-test (for specimens treated with Icon) and to t-test (DC analysis) (α < 0.05). RESULTS Icon showed the lowest LpTreat and LpEro values, while PBC and Gluma did not differ from each other under these conditions. Icon and PBC showed LpEro similar to a dentin with smear layer. Under the Laser Scanning Confocal Microscope, more deposits were noticeable on dentin after treating with PBC. Gluma presented the deepest penetration in dentin. The DC of PBC was the highest. SIGNIFICANCE Icon caused the highest reduction on permeability values, followed by PBC and Gluma. PBC generated more deposits covering dentin and seemed to be more efficient after an erosive challenge. The association of a polymeric resin with inorganic ion-releasing fillers seem to be a great strategy to manage dentin hypersensitivity under erosive conditions.

Abstract
Non-resorbable polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) are proposed as an adjunctive treatment for bone regenerative strategies. The present in vitro investigation aimed to evaluate the effect of the different prototypes of bioactive NPs loaded with zinc (Zn-NPs), doxycycline (Dox-NPs) or dexamethasone (Dex-NPs) on the viability, morphology, migration, adhesion, osteoblastic differentiation, and mineralization potential of human bone marrow stem cells (hBMMSCs). Cell viability, proliferation, and differentiation were assessed using a resaruzin-based assay, cell cycle analysis, cell migration evaluation, cell cytoskeleton staining analysis, Alizarin Red S staining, and expression of the osteogenic-related genes by a real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). One-Way ANOVA and Tukey’s test were employed. The resazurin assay showed adequate cell viability considering all concentrations and types of NPs at 24, 48, and 72 h of culture. The cell cycle analysis revealed a regular cell cycle profile at 0.1, 1, and 10 µg/mL, whereas 100 µg/mL produced an arrest of cells in the S phase. Cells cultured with 0.1 and 1 µg/mL NP concentrations showed a similar migration capacity to the untreated group. After 21 days, mineralization was increased by all the NPs prototypes. Dox-NPs and Dex-NPs produced a generalized up-regulation of the osteogenic-related genes. Dex-NPs and Dox-NPs exhibited excellent osteogenic potential and promoted hBMMSC differentiation. Future investigations, both in vitro and in vivo, are required to confirm the suitability of these NPs for their clinical application.

Abstract
Nanotechnology in modern material science is a research hot spot due to its ability to provide novel applications in the field of dentistry. Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) are metal oxide nanoparticles that open new opportunities for biomedical applications that range from diagnosis to treatment. The domains of these nanoparticles are wide and diverse and include the effects brought about due to the anti-microbial, regenerative, and mechanical properties. The applications include enhancing the anti-bacterial properties of existing restorative materials, as an anti-sensitivity agent in toothpastes, as an anti-microbial and anti-fungal agent against pathogenic oral microflora, as a dental implant coating, to improve the anti-fungal effect of denture bases in rehabilitative dentistry, remineralizing cervical dentinal lesions, increasing the stability of local drug delivery agents and other applications.

Abstract
This is a narrative review of the literature assessing the potential effectiveness of doping dentin polymeric adhesives with zinc compounds in order to improve bonding efficacy, remineralization and protection against degradation. A literature search was conducted using electronic databases, such as PubMed, MEDLINE, DIMDI and Web of Science. Through our search, we found literature demonstrating that Zn-doped dentin adhesives promote protection and remineralization of the resin-dentin interfaces. The increased bioactivity has also facilitated dentinal tubules' occlusion by crystals' precipitation contributing to improved sealing efficacy of restorations. Loading dentin adhesives with zinc gives rise to an increase of both crystallinity of mineral and crosslinking of collagen. The main role of zinc, in dentin adhesives, is to inhibit collagen proteolysis. We concluded that zinc exerts a protective effect through binding at the collagen-sensitive cleavage sites of matrix-metalloproteinases (MMPs), contributing to dentin matrix stabilization. Zinc may not only act as a MMPs inhibitor, but also influence signaling pathways and stimulate metabolic effects in dentin mineralization and remineralization processes. Zn-doped adhesives increase the longevity of dentin bonding through MMPs inhibition. Zn poses a remineralization strategy in demineralized dentin.

Abstract
Hyperesthesia is related to increased sensitivity of dental tissues to mechanical, chemical and thermal stimuli. The aim of this prospective clinical trial was to compare the effectiveness of a calcium-fluoride-forming agent (Tiefenfluorid®, Humanchemie GmbH, Alfeld, Germany) with that of a fluoride varnish (EnamelastTM, Ultradent Inc., Cologne, Germany) in the treatment of dental hyperesthesia in adult patients. In total, 176 individuals (106 females and 70 males, aged 18-59 years old) diagnosed with dental hyperesthesia (DH) were enrolled. The main clinical symptoms were hyperesthesia from coldness and sweetness during chewing; the types of clinical lesions were also determined and recorded. The patients were selected randomly and divided into two groups: (i) the first group of 96 patients was treated with Tiefenfluorid® applied in three appointments at 7-day intervals; (ii) the second group of 80 patients was treated with EnamelastTM, applied seven times at 7-day intervals. All the patients were recalled 7 days, 14 days, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months from the last application. At the baseline and during every follow-up visit, the DH was measured with a pulp tester. A random intercept/random slope model was used to evaluate the effect of the treatment, at various times with respect to the initial diagnosis. Within the limits of the present study, Tiefenfluorid® was more effective than EnamelastTM against DH in that it provided long-lasting results, with a significant improvement still detected at the latest 6-month follow-up.

Abstract
Tubule occlusion and remineralization are considered the two main goals of dentin hypersensitivity treatment. The objective is to assess the ability of dentifrices containing zinc-doped polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) to enduringly occlude the dentinal tubules, reinforcing dentin’s mechanical properties. Fifteen dentin surfaces were acid-treated for dentinal tubule exposure and brushed with (1) distilled water, or with experimental pastes containing (2) 1% of zinc-doped NPs, (3) 5% of zinc-doped NPs, (4) 10% of zinc-doped NPs or (5) Sensodyne®. Topographical and nanomechanical analyses were performed on treated dentin surfaces and after a citric acid challenge. ANOVA and Student–Newman–Keuls tests were used (p < 0.05). The main results indicate that all pastes produced tubule occlusion (100%) and reinforced mechanical properties of intertubular dentin (complex modulus was above 75 GPa). After the citric acid challenge, only those pastes containing zinc-doped NPs were able to maintain tubular occlusion, as specimens treated with Sensodyne® have around 30% of tubules opened. Mechanical properties were maintained for dentin treated with Zn-doped NPs, but in the case of specimens treated with Sensodyne®, complex modulus values were reduced below 50 GPa. It may be concluded that zinc-doped NPs at the lowest tested concentration produced acid-resistant tubular occlusion and increased the mechanical properties of dentin.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effect of remineralizing agents on collagen matrix pattern, precipitate formation, and dentinal tubule obliteration in eroded cervical dentin. METHODS AND MATERIALS One hundred bovine cervical dentin specimens were previously eroded (0.6% hydrochloric acid, pH 2.3, 5 minutes) and then randomized into five groups (n=20): G1, control (without treatment); G2, Desensibilize Nano P (FGM); G3, MI Paste Plus (Recaldent); G4, Regenerate (NR-5); and G5, Desensibilize KF 2% (FGM). These treatments were applied in four sessions with 7-day intervals. During this period, the samples were subjected to an erosive challenge with orange juice (pH 3.8, 5 minutes). The specimens were analyzed by polarized light microscopy with picrosirius red staining, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). RESULTS The G3 showed a higher concentration of type I collagen than G2 and G5 (p<0.05). The G3 showed greater formation of surface precipitates than that of G1 and G5 (p<0.05). In addition, G4 and G5 showed a greater number of open dentinal tubules than that of G3 (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Calcium phosphate-based remineralizing agents have shown to be a promising alternative treatment for preventing deleterious effects on the eroded dentin collagen matrix. In addition, they promoted precipitate formation and dentinal tubule obliteration on the eroded dentin.

Abstract
In recent years, nanomaterials have become increasingly present in medicine, especially in dentistry. Their characteristics are proving to be very useful in clinical cases. Due to the intense research in the field of biomaterials and nanotechnology, the efficacy and possibilities of dental procedures have immensely expanded over the years. The nano size of materials allows them to exhibit properties not present in their larger-in-scale counterparts. The medical procedures in endodontics are time-consuming and mostly require several visits to be able to achieve the proper result. In this field of dentistry, there are still major issues about the removal of the mostly bacterial infection from the dental root canals. It has been confirmed that nanoparticles are much more efficient than traditional materials and appear to have superior properties when it comes to surface chemistry and bonding. Their unique antibacterial properties are also promising features in every medical procedure, especially in endodontics. High versatility of use of nanomaterials makes them a powerful tool in dental clinics, in a plethora of endodontic procedures, including pulp regeneration, drug delivery, root repair, disinfection, obturation and canal filling. This study focuses on summing up the current knowledge about the utility of nanomaterials in endodontics, their characteristics, advantages, disadvantages, and provides a number of reasons why research in this field should be continued.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the effectiveness of novel polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) doped with melatonin (ML) in reducing dentin permeability and facilitating dentin remineralization after endodontic treatment. METHODS The effect of undoped NPs and ML-doped NPs (ML-NPs) was tested in radicular dentin, at 24 h and 6 m. A control group without NPs was included. ML liberation was measured. Radicular dentin was assessed for fluid filtration. Dentin remineralization was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy, AFM, Young's modulus (Ei), Nano DMA-tan delta, and Raman analysis. RESULTS ML release ranged from 1.85 mg/mL at 24 h to 0.033 mg/mL at 28 d. Both undoped NPs and ML-NPs treated dentin exhibited the lowest microleakage, but samples treated with ML-NPs exhibited hermetically sealed dentinal tubules and extended mineral deposits onto dentin. ML-NPs promoted higher and durable Ei, and functional remineralization at root dentin, generating differences between the values of tan delta among groups and creating zones of stress concentration. Undoped-NPs produced closure of some tubules and porosities at the expense of a relative mineral amorphization. Chemical remineralization based on mineral and organic assessments was higher in samples treated with ML-NPs. When using undoped NPs, precipitation of minerals occurred; however, radicular dentin was not mechanically reinforced but weakened over time. SIGNIFICANCE Application of ML-NPs in endodontically treated teeth, previous to the canal filling step, is encouraged due to occlusion of dentinal tubules and the reinforcement of the radicular dentin structure.

Abstract
Nanotechnology and nanoparticles (NPs) are at the forefront of modern research, particularly in the case of healthcare therapeutic applications. Polymeric NPs, specifically, hold high promise for these purposes, including towards oral diseases. Careful optimisation of the production of polymeric NPs, however, is required to generate a product which can be easily translated from a laboratory environment to the actual clinical usage. Indeed, considerations such as biocompatibility, biodistribution, and biodegradability are paramount. Moreover, a pre-clinical assessment in adequate in vitro, ex vivo or in vivo model is also required. Last but not least, considerations for the scale-up are also important, together with an appropriate clinical testing pathway. This review aims to eviscerate the above topics, sourcing at examples from the recent literature to put in context the current most burdening oral diseases and the most promising polymeric NPs which would be suitable against them.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim was to state the different applications and the effectiveness of polymeric zinc-doped nanoparticles to achieve dentin remineralization. DATA, SOURCES AND STUDY SELECTION Literature search was conducted using electronic databases, such as PubMed, MEDLINE, DIMDI, Embase, Scopus and Web of Science. A narrative exploratory review was undertaken. CONCLUSIONS Polymeric nanospheres (NPs) were efficiently loaded with zinc. NPs sequestered calcium and phosphate in the presence of silicon, and remained effectively embedded at the hybrid layer. NPs incorporation did not alter bond strength and inhibited MMP-mediated dentin collagen degradation. Zn-loaded NPs remineralized the hybrid layer inducing a generalized low-carbonate substitute apatite precipitation, chemically crystalline with some amorphous components, and an increase in mechanical properties was also promoted. Viscoelastic analysis determined that dentin infiltrated with Zn-NPs released the stress by breaking the resin-dentin interface and creating specific mineral formations in response to the energy dissipation. Bacteria were scarcely encountered at the resin-dentin interface. The combined antibacterial and remineralizing effects, when Zn-NPs were applied, reduced biofilm formation. Zn-NPs application at both cervical and radicular dentin attained the lowest microleakage and also promoted durable sealing ability. The new zinc-based salt minerals generated covered the dentin surface totally occluding cracks, porosities and dentinal tubules. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Zinc-doped NPs are proposed for effective dentin remineralization and tubular occlusion. This offers new strategies for regeneration of eroded cervical dentin, effective treatment of dentin hypersensitivity and in endodontically treated teeth previous to the canal filling. Zn-NPs also do reduce biofilm formation due to antibacterial properties.

Abstract
The underlying dentin could be exposed to a humid atmosphere filled with bacteria if the covering enamel layer is broken because of external chemical and physical conditions. Accordingly, some diseases like bacterial invasion and dentin hypersensitivity often occur, which impact the daily life of patients. The study is aimed at evaluating the occluding effects of mesoporous calcium silicate nanoparticles (MCSNs) on the dentinal tubules in vitro and in vivo, as well as the antibacterial property and drug delivery ability when loaded with chlorhexidine (CHX) in vitro. MCSNs were synthesized according to the standard protocol. After a series of complimentary evaluations in vitro and in vivo, it was found that MCSNs and CHX–MCSNs could continually form apatite-like enamel layers on the exposed dentinal tubules and significantly reduced dentin permeability both in vitro and in vivo. Besides, MCSN and CHX–MCSN possessed low cytotoxicity in vitro, and only mild pulp inflammation was observed in two MCSNs containing groups in vivo. In addition, MCSN loaded with CHX released CHX sustainably and revealed a significant antibacterial effect against E. faecalis in vitro. Therefore, the results suggest that MCSN could be used as a promising biomaterial to occlude the dentinal tubules and carry antibiotics for avoiding further pulp infection. MCSNs could be used as a promising biomaterial for occluding the dentinal tubules in vitro and in vivo. Also, the outstanding drug delivery and antibacterial properties enable it to carry antibiotics easily for inhibiting deeper pulp infection.![]()

Doxycycline-functionalized polymeric nanoparticles inhibit Enterococcus faecalis biofilm formation on dentine. Int Endod J 2020; 54:413-426. [PMID: 33107032 DOI: 10.1111/iej.13436] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2020] [Revised: 10/21/2020] [Accepted: 10/22/2020] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
AIM To evaluate in a laboratory setting the antimicrobial properties and the potential to inhibit biofilm formation of novel remineralizing polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) when applied to dentine surfaces and to ascertain the effect of the functionalization of these NPs with zinc, calcium or doxycycline. METHODOLOGY The antimicrobial activity and inhibition of biofilm formation of polymeric NPs were analysed on human dentine blocks that were infected with Enterococcus faecalis before or after application of NPs. LIVE/DEAD ® testing under Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy and bacterial culturing were employed to analyse biofilm biovolume and bacterial viability. Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy was also employed to assess biofilm morphology. One-way anova with Welch's correction and post hoc comparison by the Games-Howell test were performed for comparisons between groups. RESULTS The un-functionalized NPs displayed the greatest antimicrobial activity against E. faecalis biofilms as they provided the lowest biovolume (3865.7 ± 2926.97 µm3 ; P < 0.001) and the highest dead/injured cells percentage (79.93 ± 18.40%; P < 0.001), followed by Dox-NPs (biovolume: 19,041.55 ± 17,638.23 µm3 , dead/injured cells: 45.53 ± 26.50%; P < 0.001). Doxycycline-loaded NPs had the largest values of inhibition of biofilm formation with the lowest biofilm biovolume (8517.65 ± 7055.81 µm3 ; P < 0.001) and a high dead/injured bacterial percentage (68.68 ± 12.50%; P < 0.001). Un-functionalized NPs did not reduce biomass growth (P > 0.05), but attained the largest percentage of compromised cells (93 ± 8.23%; P < 0.001), being able to disrupt biofilm formation. It also produced occlusion of dentinal tubules, potentially interfering with bacterial tubule penetration. CONCLUSIONS A new generation of bioactive nano-fillers (doxycycline-functionalized polymeric NPs) had antibacterial activity and occluded dentinal tubules. Incorporating these NPs into endodontic sealers may have the potential to enhance the outcome of root canal treatment.

Abstract
Nanotechnology is a vital part of health care system, including the dentistry. This branch of technology has been incorporated into various fields of dentistry ranging from diagnosis to prevention and treatment. The latter involves application of numerous biomaterials that help in restoration of esthetic and functional dentition. Over the past decade, these materials were modified through the incorporation of metal nanoparticles (NP) like silver (Ag), gold (Au), titanium (Ti), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), and zirconia (Zr). They enhanced antimicrobial, mechanical, and regenerative properties of these materials. However, lately, the toxicological implications of these nanometal particles have been realized. They were associated with cytotoxicity, genotoxicity altered inflammatory processes, and reticuloendothelial system toxicity. As dental biomaterials containing metal NPs remain functional in oral cavity over prolonged periods, it is important to know their toxicological effects in humans. With this background, the present systematic review is aimed to gain an insight into the plausible applications and toxic implications of nano-metal particles as related to dentistry.

Polymeric nanoparticles protect the resin-dentin bonded interface from cariogenic biofilm degradation. Acta Biomater 2020; 111:316-326. [PMID: 32439613 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2020.05.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2020] [Revised: 04/30/2020] [Accepted: 05/02/2020] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
The objective was to assess doxycycline (Dox) and zinc (Zn) doped nanoparticles' (NPs) potential to protect the resin-dentin interface from cariogenic biofilm. Three groups of polymeric NPs were tested: unloaded, loaded with zinc and with doxycycline. NPs were applied after dentin etching. The disks were exposed to a cariogenic biofilm challenge in a Drip-Flow Reactor during 72 h and 7 d. Half of the specimens were not subjected to biofilm formation but stored 72 h and 7 d. LIVE/DEAD® viability assay, nano-dynamic mechanical assessment, Raman spectroscopy and field emission electron microscopy (FESEM) analysis were performed. The measured bacterial death rates, at 7 d were 46% for the control group, 51% for the undoped-NPs, 32% for Dox-NPs, and 87% for Zn-NPs; being total detected bacteria reduced five times in the Dox-NPs group. Zn-NPs treated samples reached, in general, the highest complex modulus values at the resin-dentin interface over time. Regarding the mineral content, Zn-NPs-treated dentin interfaces showed the highest mineralization degree associated to the phosphate peak and the relative mineral concentration. FESEM images after Zn-NPs application permitted to observe remineralization of the etched and non-resin infiltrated collagen layer, and bacteria were scarcely encountered. The combined antibacterial and remineralizing effects, when Zn-NPs were applied, reduced biofilm formation. Dox-NPs exerted an antibacterial role but did not remineralize the bonded interface. Undoped-NPs did not improve the properties of the interfaces. Application of Zn-doped NPs during the bonding procedure is encouraged. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Application of Zn-doped nanoparticles on acid etched dentin reduced biofilm formation and viability at the resin-dentin interface due to both remineralization and antibacterial properties. Doxycycline-doped nanoparticles also diminished oral biofilm viability, but did not remineralize the resin-dentin interface.

Abstract
The effectiveness of novel polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) application in reducing dentin permeability and facilitating dentin remineralization after endodontic treatment was evaluated. The effect of undoped NPs, zinc, calcium and doxycycline-doped NPs (Zn-NPs, Ca-NPs and D-NPs, respectively) was tested in radicular dentin. A control group without NPs was included. Radicular dentin was assessed for fluid filtration. Dentin remineralization was analyzed by scanning and transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive analysis, AFM, Young's modulus (Ei), Nano DMA, Raman, and X-Ray Diffraction analysis. Ca-NPs and Zn-NPs treated dentin exhibited the lowest microleakage with hermetically sealed dentinal tubules and a zinc-based salt generation onto dentin. Zn-NPs favored crystallinity and promoted the highest Ei and functional remineralization at the apical dentin, generating differences between the values of complex modulus among groups. Ca-NPs produced closure of tubules and porosities at the expense of a relative mineral amorphization, without creating zones of stress concentration. The highest sealing efficacy was obtained in Zn-NPs-treated samples, along with the highest values of Young's modulus and dentin mineralization. These high values of Ei were obtained by closing voids, cracks, pores and tubules, and by strengthening the root dentin. When using undoped NPs or Ca-NPs, deposition of minerals occurred, but radicular dentin was not mechanically reinforced. Therefore, application of Zn-NPs in endodontically treated teeth previous to the canal filling is encouraged.

Abstract
The objective was to evaluate the toxicity of zinc- and doxycycline-loaded polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) using Caenorhabditis elegans as a model organism. These NPs are composed of ethylene glycol dimethacrylate, 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate and methacrylic acid. NPs were loaded with doxycycline (D-NPs) and zinc (Zn-NPs) by chemical adsorption, and loading efficacy was demonstrated. Worm death rate in a concentration-response curve basis was calculated for lethality. Metabolism was evaluated through pharyngeal pumping assay. Body length measurements, brood size and egg lays were used to gauge growth, reproduction and fertility respectively. Intracellular hydrogen peroxide levels were determined to assess the reactive oxygen species production. One-way ANOVA and Bonferroni were used for comparisons (p < 0.05). Tested NPs at the highest dosage did not affect lethality or worm metabolism, expressed in terms of death rate and pharyngeal pumping per minute, respectively. Zn-NPs slightly increased worm growth. The concentration of the intracellular hydrogen peroxide levels was the lowest in the D-NPs group. The distinct NPs and concentrations employed were shown to be non-toxic for in situ administration of zinc and doxycycline, reducing the harmful effects of these compounds.

Abstract
Dentin hypersensitivity is attributable to the exposed dentin and its patent tubules. We proposed the therapeutic management of demineralized dentin surfaces using a mineralizing adhesive to seal and remineralize dentin, dentinal tubules, and odontoblast processes. An experimental self-etch adhesive and a mineralizing adhesive consisting of the self-etch adhesive and 20 wt % poly-aspartic acid-stabilized amorphous calcium phosphate (PAsp-ACP) nanoparticles were prepared and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and scanning electron microscopy. After 60 acid-etched midcoronal dentin disks were treated with distilled water (control), a desensitizing agent (Gluma), the experimental self-etch adhesive, and the mineralizing adhesive, dentin permeability was measured and mineralization was evaluated by Raman, FTIR, XRD, TEM, and selected-area electron diffraction, irrespective of abrasive and acidic challenges. In vitro cytotoxicity of the adhesive and the mineralizing adhesive was assessed by Cell Counting Kit-8. The mineralizing adhesive possessed excellent biocompatibility. We proposed a hybrid mineralization layer composed of the light-cured mineralizing adhesive and the mineralized dentin surfaces, as well as interiorly mineralized resin tags and odontoblast processes inside of the dentinal tubules. This hybrid mineralization not only reduced dentin permeability but also resisted abrasive and acidic attacks.

Abstract
Currently, the principal strategy for the treatment of carious defects involves cavity preparations followed by the restoration of natural tooth structure with a synthetic material of inferior biomechanical and esthetic qualities and with questionable long-term clinical reliability of the interfacial bonds. Consequently, prevention and minimally invasive dentistry are considered basic approaches for the preservation of sound tooth structure. Moreover, conventional periodontal therapies do not always ensure predictable outcomes or completely restore the integrity of the periodontal ligament complex that has been lost due to periodontitis. Much effort and comprehensive research have been undertaken to mimic the natural development and biomineralization of teeth to regenerate and repair natural hard dental tissues and restore the integrity of the periodontium. Regeneration of the dentin-pulp tissue has faced several challenges, starting with the basic concerns of clinical applicability. Recent technologies and multidisciplinary approaches in tissue engineering and nanotechnology, as well as the use of modern strategies for stem cell recruitment, synthesis of effective biodegradable scaffolds, molecular signaling, gene therapy, and 3D bioprinting, have resulted in impressive outcomes that may revolutionize the practice of restorative dentistry. This Review covers the current approaches and technologies for remineralization, regeneration, and repair of natural tooth structure.

Abstract
This study compared the effect of a novel zinc containing, Caredyne Shield (CS), and a fluoroaluminocalciumsilicate-based, Nanoseal (NS) desensitizers on dentin tubule occlusion, inhibition of Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) biofilm growth, and resistance to bacterial demineralization. Desensitizers were applied to simulated hypersensitive bovine dentin, with distilled water used as a control. S. mutans biofilms were grown on the surface of each specimen in an oral biofilm simulator. CS showed the least bacterial count and water insoluble glucan amount followed by NS. Transverse micro radiography revealed that both CS and NS showed significant reduction in mineral loss and lesion depth of the associated lesion. Scanning electron micrographs showed that the two desensitizers formed obvious depositions on the dentin surfaces, occlusion of tubules and mineral tag formation.

Abstract
Background The aim was to evaluate the effect of silver loaded nanoparticles (NPs) application on the triboscopic, crystallographic and viscoelastic properties of demineralized dentin. Polymethylmetacrylate-based NPs and Ag loaded NPs were applied on demineralized dentin. Material and Methods Treated and untreated surfaces were probed by a nanoindenter to test viscoelasticity, and by atomic force microscopy to test nanoroughness and collagen fibril diameter. X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy through selected area diffraction and bright-field imaging were also used. Results Dentin treated with Ag-NPs attained the lowest complex modulus, and the highest tan delta values after 7 days of storage. Dentin treated with undoped-NPs achieved the lowest nanoroughness and the greatest collagen bandwidths among groups. Crystals were identified as hydroxyapatite with the highest crystallographic maturity and crystallite size in dentin treated with undoped-NPs. Texture increased in all samples from 24 h to 7 d, except in dentin surfaces treated with Ag-NPs at 310 plane. Polyhedral, block-like, hexagonal or plate-like shaped apatite crystals constituted the bulk of minerals in dentin treated with Ag-NPs, after 7 d. Polyhedral or rounded/drop-like, and polymorphic in strata crystal apatite characterized the minerals when undoped-NPs were used, with more crystalline characteristics after 7 d than that found when Ag-NPs were applied. Ag-NPs application did not improve the mechanical performance of dentin and did not produce dentin remineralization. However, energy was dissipated through the dentin without showing stress concentration; contrary was occurring at dentin treated with undoped-NPs, that provoked bridge-like mineral deposits at the dentin surface. Conclusions Ag-NPs application did not enhance the mechanical properties of cervical dentin, though the energy dissipation did not damage the dentin structure. Remineralization at dentin was not produced after Ag-NPs application, though improved crystallinity may lead to increase stability of the apatite that was generated at the dentin surface.
