Scaffa P, Logan MG, Icimoto MY, Fugolin A, Tsuzuki FM, Lewis SH, Pfeifer CS. Mechanistic study of the stabilization of dentin-bonded restorative interfaces via collagen reinforcement by multi-acrylamides. Dent Mater 2024:S0109-5641(24)00128-3. [PMID: 38821837 DOI: 10.1016/j.dental.2024.05.027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/04/2023] [Accepted: 05/29/2024] [Indexed: 06/02/2024]
Abstract
Hydrolytically and enzymatically-stable multi-acrylamides have been proposed to increase the long-term durability of dental adhesive interfaces as alternatives to methacrylates. The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanical and biochemical properties of experimental adhesives containing multi-functional acrylamides concerning collagen reinforcement and metalloproteinases (MMP) activity. Multi-functional acrylamides, TMAAEA (Tris[(2-methylaminoacryl) ethylamine) and DEBAAP (N,N-Diethyl-1,3-bis(acrylamido) propane), along with the commercially available DMAM (N,N-dimethylacrylamide) (monofunctional acrylamide) and HEMA (2-Hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (monofunctional methacrylate - control) were tested for stability against enzymatic hydrolysis by cholesterol esterase/pseudocholinesterase (PC/PCE) solutions for up to 30 days. Collagen-derived substrate and gelatin zymography were performed to examine the effect of the compounds on the biological activity of human recombinant and dentin-extracted gelatinases MMP-2 and MMP-9. In situ zymography was carried out by fluorescent collagen degradation combined with confocal microscopy analysis. Hydroxyproline content was measured in collagen derived from dentin extracts though reaction with Ehrlich's reagent p-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde (DMAB), generating a stable chromophore measured at 550 nm. Storage shear modulus of demineralized dentin discs treated with the tested compounds was measured by oscillatory rheometry, in order to investigate potential collagen reinforcement. FT-IR was performed to determine qualitative differences in collagen based on observed changes in amide bands. The results were analyzed by ANOVA/Tukey's test (α = 0.05). Multi-acrylamides survived 30 days of incubation in cholinesterase/pseudo-cholinesterase (PC/PCE) solutions, while HEMA showed approximately 70 % overall degradation. Incubation with multi-acrylamides reduced collagen degradation as evidenced by the reduced hydroxyproline levels and by the 30 % increase inshear storage modulus. Biochemical and zymography assays showed no noticeable inhibition of recombinant and extracted MMPs enzymatic activity. The infra-red spectroscopy results for multi-functional acrylamides treated samples demonstrated shifts of the amide II bonds and marked increase in intensity of the bands 1200 cm-1, which may indicate partial collagen denaturation and some degree of cross-linking of the compounds with collagen, respectively. The multi-acrylamides exhibited not only comparable mechanical properties but also demonstrated significantly enhanced biochemical stability when compared to the widely used methacrylate control. Clinical relevance: These findings highlight the potential of multi-acrylamides to increase the bonding stability to tissues and, ultimately, contribute to the longevity of dental restorations.

Yu Y, Guo X, Chen J, Zhao Y, Song J, Alshawwa H, Zou X, Zhao H, Zhang Z. Biodegradation of Urethane Dimethacrylate-based materials (CAD/CAM resin-ceramic composites) and its effect on the adhesion and proliferation of Streptococcus mutans. J Mech Behav Biomed Mater 2024; 150:106280. [PMID: 38043260 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2023.106280] [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: 10/13/2023] [Revised: 11/24/2023] [Accepted: 11/26/2023] [Indexed: 12/05/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate whether urethane dimethacrylate (UDMA) -based dental restorative materials biodegrade in the presence of Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) and whether the monomers affect the adhesion and proliferation of S. mutans in turn. METHODS Cholesterol esterase and pseudocholinesterase-like activities in S. mutans were detected using p-nitrophenyl substrate. Two UDMA-based CAD/CAM resin-ceramic composites, Lava Ultimate (LU) and Vita Enamic (VE), and a light-cured UDMA resin block were co-cultured with S. mutans for 14 days. Their surfaces were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and laser microscopy, and the byproducts of biodegradation were examined by Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). Then, the antimicrobial components (silver nanoparticles with quaternary ammonium salts) were added to the UDMA resin block to detect whether the biodegradation was restrained. Finally, the effect of UDMA on biofilm formation and virulence expression of S. mutans was assessed. RESULTS Following a 14-day immersion, the LU and UDMA resin blocks' surface roughness increased. The LU and VE groups had no UDMA or its byproducts discovered, according to the UPLC-MS/MS data, whereas the light-cured UDMA block group had UDMA, urethane methacrylate (UMA), and urethane detected. The addition of antimicrobial agents showed a significant reduction in the release of UDMA. Biofilm staining experiments showed that UDMA promoted the growth of S. mutans biofilm and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction results indicated that 50 μg/mL UDMA significantly increase the expression of gtfB, comC, comD, comE, and gbpB genes within the biofilm. CONCLUSIONS UDMA in the light-cured resin can be biodegraded to produce UMA and urethane under the influence of S. mutans. The formation of early biofilm can be promoted and the expression of cariogenic genes can be up-regulated by UDMA. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE This study focuses for the first time on whether UDMA-based materials can undergo biodegradation and verifies from a genetic perspective that UDMA can promote the formation of S. mutans biofilms, providing a reference for the rational use of UDMA-based materials in clinical practice.

Polymers (Basel) 2023; 15:3258. [PMID: 37571151 PMCID: PMC10422349 DOI: 10.3390/polym15153258] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2023] [Revised: 07/25/2023] [Accepted: 07/26/2023] [Indexed: 08/13/2023] Open
Abstract
An ideal denture base must have good physical and mechanical properties, biocompatibility, and esthetic properties. Various polymeric materials have been used to construct denture bases. Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) is the most used biomaterial for dentures fabrication due to its favorable properties, which include ease of processing and pigmenting, sufficient mechanical properties, economy, and low toxicity. This article aimed to comprehensively review the current knowledge about denture base materials (DBMs) types, properties, modifications, applications, and construction methods. We searched for articles about denture base materials in PubMed, Scopus, and Embase. Journals covering topics including dental materials, prosthodontics, and restorative dentistry were also combed through. Denture base material variations, types, qualities, applications, and fabrication research published in English were considered. Although PMMA has several benefits and gained popularity as a denture base material, it has certain limitations and cannot be classified as an ideal biomaterial for fabricating dental prostheses. Accordingly, several studies have been performed to enhance the physical and mechanical properties of PMMA by chemical modifications and mechanical reinforcement using fibers, nanofillers, and hybrid materials. This review aimed to update the current knowledge about DBMs' types, properties, applications, and recent developments. There is a need for specific research to improve their biological properties due to patient and dental staff adverse reactions to possibly harmful substances produced during their manufacturing and use.

Abstract
Damage in the bonding interface is a significant factor that leads to premature failure of dental bonded restorations. The imperfectly bonded dentin-adhesive interface is susceptible to hydrolytic degradation and bacterial and enzyme attack, severely jeopardizing restorations' longevity. Developing caries around previously made restorations, also called "recurrent or secondary caries," is a significant health problem. The replacement of restorations is the most prevailing treatment in dental clinics, leading to the so-called "tooth death spiral". In other words, every time a restoration is replaced, more tooth tissue is removed, increasing the size of the restorations until the tooth is eventually lost. This process leads to high financial costs and detriment to patients' quality of life. Since the complexity of the oral cavity makes prevention a challenging task, novel strategies in Dental Materials and Operative fields are required. This article briefly overviews the physiological dentin substrate, features of dentin bonding, challenges and clinical relevance. We discussed the anatomy of the dental bonding interface, aspects of the degradation at the resin-dentin interface, extrinsic and intrinsic factors affecting dental bonding longevity, perspectives on resin and collagen degradation and how these subjects are connected. In this narrative review, we also outlined the recent progress in overcoming dental bonding challenges through bioinspiration, nanotechnology and advanced techniques to reduce degradation and improve dental bonding longevity.

Abstract
Although salivary liquid can degrade constituents in resin-based dental composites in short-term incubations, there is a knowledge gap on how longer-term aging impacts their bulk strength. We address this through extended aging studies with resin-based dental composites in different environments. Two commercial composites (FIL and AEL) were aged aseptically at 37°C in air (A, control), artificial saliva (AS), and esterase enzyme amended AS (EAS). Diametral and pushout strength were measured after periods of 120-180 days. At 120 days, the diametral strength of composites aged in air was 69.9 ± 11.0 and 57.7 ± 3.31 MPa in FIL and AEL, respectively. These were significantly greater compared to composites aged in AS (32.1 ± 7.01 and 46.2 ± 9.38 MPa in FIL and AEL, respectively) or EAS (36.7 ± 8.49 and 43.5 ± 5.51 MPa in FIL and AEL, respectively). In contrast, pushout strength for both composites were smaller in A compared to those aged in AS and EAS, results attributed to AS absorption and polymer expansion. No significant change in either diametral or pushout strength occurred after 120 days. There was no significant difference between aging in AS and EAS, suggesting that esterase did not significantly decrease the bulk material strength to a greater extent than AS under the test conditions. Aqueous diffusivities for the composites ranged from 8.4 to 11 × 10-13 m2 /s, with associated porosities ranging from 0.06% to 0.10%. These results indicate that saturation of a typical dental composite occurs over a time frame of 4-5 months, longer than typical aging studies. Together, the results demonstrate the importance of aging time on composite strength.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of salivary esterases on biostability of collagen treated by galloylated polyphenols. METHODS Human dentin was microtomed into 6-μm-thick films, which were demineralized and treated for 60 s using solutions containing 0.6% and 2% of one of the crosslinkers: tannic acid (TAC), epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), epigallocatechin (EGC), and N-[3-dimethylaminopropyl]-N'-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC)/N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS), and for 1 h using EDC/NHS. Half of the treated and untreated (control) films were subjected to human saliva incubation. Collagen biostability was assessed via exogenous protease biodegradation by weight loss and hydroxyproline release, and endogenous MMPs by in situ zymography. The degradation products of galloylated polyphenols (TAC and EGCG) by saliva were monitored using proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) and gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The esterase activity of saliva induced by the crosslinkers was also assessed. RESULTS Collagen films treated with TAC and EGCG exhibited significantly improved biostability (p < 0.05); however, the enhanced biostability was severely reduced after saliva incubation (p < 0.001). For EDC/NHS treated collagen, saliva incubation showed negligible effect on the biostability. 1H NMR studies confirmed the esterase-catalyzed hydrolysis of the galloyl. GPC measurements showed decreased molecular weight of TAC in saliva indicating its chemical degradation. Both TAC and EGCG showed much higher esterase activity than other treatment groups. SIGNIFICANCE The galloyl group plays important role in collagen crosslinking, inducing higher biostability. However, galloylated polyphenols crosslinked on collagen are highly susceptible to metabolism of human saliva by salivary esterase, dramatically compromising the enhanced biostability.

Biodegradation of Dental Resin-Based Composite—A Potential Factor Affecting the Bonding Effect: A Narrative Review. Biomedicines 2022; 10:biomedicines10092313.

Abstract
In recent years, although resin composite has played an important role in the restoration of tooth defects, it still has several disadvantages, including being biodegraded by saliva, bacteria and other enzymes in the oral cavity, which may result in repair failure. This factor is not conducive to the long-term survival of the prosthesis in the mouth. In this article, we review the causes, influencing factors and prevention methods of resin biodegradation. Biodegradation is mainly caused by esterase in saliva and bacteria, which breaks the ester bond in resin and causes the release of monomers. The mechanical properties of the prosthesis can then be affected. Meanwhile, cathepsin and MMPs are activated on the bonding surface, which may decompose the dentin collagen. In addition, neutrophils and residual water on the bonding surface can also aggravate biodegradation. Currently, the primary methods to prevent biodegradation involve adding antibacterial agents to resin, inhibiting the activity of MMPs and enhancing the crosslinking of collagen fibers. All of the above indicates that in the preparation and adhesion of resin materials, attention should be paid to the influence of biodegradation to improve the prosthesis’s service life in the complex environment of the oral cavity.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to prepare hybrid polymer-ceramic dental materials for chairside computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) applications. The hybrid polymer-ceramic materials were fabricated via infiltrating polymerizable monomer mixtures into sintered hydroxyapatite/bioactive glass (HA/BAG) ceramic blocks and thermo-curing. The microstructure was observed by scanning electron microscopy and an energy-dispersive spectrometer. The phase structure was analyzed by X-ray diffraction. The composition ratio was analyzed by a thermogravimetric analyzer. The hardness was measured by a Vickers hardness tester. The flexural strength, flexural modulus, and compressive strength were measured and calculated by a universal testing machine. The growth of human gingival fibroblasts was evaluated by a 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) colorimetric assay and immunofluorescence staining. The results showed that the sintering temperature and BAG content affected the mechanical properties of the hybrid polymer-ceramic materials. The X-ray diffraction analysis showed that high-temperature sintering promoted the partial conversion of HA to β-tricalcium phosphate. The values of the hardness, flexural strength, flexural modulus, and compressive strength of all the hybrid polymer-ceramic materials were 0.89-3.51 GPa, 57.61-118.05 MPa, 20.26-39.77 GPa, and 60.36-390.46 MPa, respectively. The mechanical properties of the hybrid polymer-ceramic materials were similar to natural teeth. As a trade-off between flexural strength and hardness, hybrid polymer-ceramic material with 20 wt.% BAG sintered at 1000 °C was the best material. In vitro experiments confirmed the biocompatibility of the hybrid polymer-ceramic material. Therefore, the hybrid polymer-ceramic material is expected to become a new type of dental restoration material.

Utilizing a degradation prediction pathway system to understand how a novel methacrylate derivative polymer with flipped external ester groups retains physico-mechanical properties following esterase exposure. Dent Mater 2022; 38:251-265. [PMID: 34933759 PMCID: PMC8828700 DOI: 10.1016/j.dental.2021.12.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2021] [Revised: 08/25/2021] [Accepted: 12/08/2021] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The region of failure for current methacrylates (i.e. derivatives of acrylates) are ester bond linkages that hydrolyze in the presence of salivary and bacterial esterases that break the polymer network backbone. This effect decreases the mechanical properties of methacrylate-based materials. METHODS The ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) or novel ethylene glycol ethyl methacrylate (EGEMA) discs were prepared using 40 µL of the curing mixture containing photo/co-initiators for 40 s in a PTFE mold at 1000 mW/cm2. The degree of conversion was used as a quality control measure for the prepared discs, followed by physical, mechanical, and chemical characterization of discs properties before and after cholesterol esterase treatment. RESULTS After 9 weeks of standardized cholesterol esterase (CEase) exposure, EGDMA discs showed exponential loss of material (p = 0.0296), strength (p = 0.0014) and increased water sorption (p = 0.0002) compared to EGEMA discs. We integrated a degradation prediction pathway system to LC/MS and GC/MS analyses to elucidate the degradation by-products of both EGEMA and EGDMA polymers. GC/MS analysis demonstrated that the esterase catalysis was directed to central polymer backbone breakage, producing ethylene glycol, for EGDMA, and to side chain breakage, producing ethanol, for EGEMA. The flipped external ester group linkage design is attributed to EGEMA showing higher resistance to esterase biodegradation and changes in mechanical and physical properties than EGDMA. SIGNIFICANCE EGEMA is a potential substitute for common macromer diluents, such as EGDMA, based on its resistance to biodegradation effects. This work inspires the flipped external group design to be applied to analogs of current larger, hydrophobic strength bearing macromers used in future dental material formulations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim was to analyze, in vitro, four resin based composite systems (RBCs) immersed in saliva of leukemia patients before starting chemotherapy regiments. MATERIAL AND METHODS Saliva was collected from 20 patients (4 healthy patients, 16 leukemia patients). Resin disks were made for each RBC and were immersed in the acute leukemia (acute lymphocytic (ALL), acute myeloid (AML)), chronic leukemia (chronic lymphocytic (CLL), chronic myeloid (CML)), Artificial saliva and Control environment, and maintained for seven days. At the end of the experiment, the characteristics and the effective response of saliva from the studied salivas' on RBCs was assessed using water sorption, water solubility, residual monomer and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Data analysis was performed and a p-value under 0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS The behaviour of RBCs in different immersion environments varies according to the characteristics of the RBCs. RBCs with a higher filler ratio have a lower water sorption. The solubility is also deteriorated by the types of organic matrix and filler; the results of solubility being inversely proportional on the scale of negative values compared to sorption values. Chromatograms of residual monomers showed the highest amount of unreacted monomers in ALL and AML, and the Control and artificial saliva environments had the smallest residual monomer peaks. Because of the low number of differences between the experimental conditions, we further considered that there were no important statistical differences between experimental conditions and analysed them as a single group. CONCLUSION The influence of saliva on RBCs depends on the type of leukemia; acute leukemia influenced the most RBCs by changing their properties compared to chronic leukemia.

[PMID: 34805247 PMCID: PMC8599952 DOI: 10.3389/fnut.2021.761830] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/20/2021] [Accepted: 10/04/2021] [Indexed: 01/07/2023] Open
Abstract
The specificity of human esterase activity (EA) from the stimulated (SS) and non-stimulated (NSS) saliva toward different typical wine odorant carboxylic esters and its inhibition by the wine phenolic compounds has been evaluated. For the specificity, six p-nitrophenyl linked esters with different carbon chain lengths (from 2 to 12 carbons) were employed. The five single phenolic compounds (catechin, quercetin, kaempferol, myricetin, and resveratrol) at typical wine concentrations were assayed in the salivary EA inhibition study. Additionally, the inhibition exerted by the mixtures of wine polyphenols was evaluated using four commercial phenolic extracts [a grape seed extract (GSE), the monomers and oligomer fraction of the GSE, and a red wine extract (RWE)]. Finally, the saliva EA under the wine consumption conditions (pH = 5 and 11.3% ethanol) was evaluated. The results showed a higher EA in SS than NSS. It was also shown that the EA was higher toward the smaller than bigger esters regardless of the saliva types (SS or NSS). However, the inhibition exerted on saliva EA by the individual and mixtures of phenolic compounds was proven. Catechin was the phenolic compound that mostly inhibited saliva EA, while resveratrol showed the lowest EA inhibition. This inhibition was mainly related to the concentration of the phenolic compounds, but also with its structure. Finally, under simulated wine consumption, a decrease in EA was produced, which was mainly provoked by the decrease in the salivary pH. Nonetheless, since salivary pH recovers a few seconds after wine consumption, saliva EA might be relevant for the long-lasting perception of wine esters.

Abstract
Structural bone allografts are used to treat critically sized segmental bone defects (CSBDs) as such defects are too large to heal naturally. Development of biomaterials with competent mechanical properties that can also facilitate new bone formation is a major challenge for CSBD repair. 3D printed synthetic bone grafts are a possible alternative to structural allografts if engineered to provide appropriate structure with sufficient mechanical properties. In this work, we fabricated a set of novel nanocomposite biomaterials consisting of acrylated epoxidized soybean oil (AESO), polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA) and nanohydroxyapatite (nHA) by using masked stereolithography (mSLA)-based 3D printing. The nanocomposite inks possess suitable rheological properties and good printability to print complex, anatomically-precise, 'by design' grafts. The addition of nHA to the AESO/PEGDA resin improved the tensile strength and fracture toughness of the mSLA printed nanocomposites, presumably due to small-scale reinforcement. By adding 10 vol% nHA, tensile strength, modulus and fracture toughness (KIc) were increased to 30.8 ± 1.2 MPa (58% increase), 1984.4 ± 126.7 MPa (144% increase) and 0.6 ± 0.1 MPa·m1/2 (42% increase), respectively (relative to the pure resin). The nanocomposites did not demonstrate significant hydrolytic, enzymatic or oxidative degradation when incubated for 28 days, assuring chemical and mechanical stability at early stages of implantation. Apatite nucleated and covered the nanocomposite surfaces within 7 days of incubation in simulated body fluid. Good viability and proliferation of differentiated MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts were also observed on the nanocomposites. Taken all together, our nanocomposites demonstrate excellent bone-bioactivity and potential for bone defect repair.

Abstract
Salivary esterase enzymes have been related to the in vitro hydrolysis of carboxylic esters associated with fruity and pleasant aroma nuances in many types of wine. However, very little is known about human total salivary esterase activity (TSEA) under physiological conditions. The purpose of this study is to gain understanding of TSEA and its relevance under wine consumption conditions. To do this, a methodology for TSEA measurement was optimised and applied to examine inter-individual differences (n = 10). Furthermore, TSEA was correlated with other salivary parameters (flow, pH, total protein content). The effect of the oral exposure to different types of wine-like solutions with different composition (ethanol, phenolic and aroma compounds) on TSEA was also assessed. Results showed large inter-individual differences, up to 86%, on TSEA values. Additionally, TSEA was positively correlated with the total salivary protein content (TPC) and negatively correlated with salivary pH and flow. After the oral exposure to wine-like solutions, the combined presence of ethanol, carboxylic esters and phenolic compounds produced the highest TSEA value. Results from this work prove that human salivary esterase is active during wine consumption, and adds support to the involvement of this enzymatic activity on wine aroma perception during wine intake, which will require future studies. Human salivary esterase is active during wine consumption supporting its potential involvement on the perception of odorant esters during wine intake.![]()

Abstract
Colonization of polymeric dental prosthetic materials by yeast-like fungi and the association of these microorganisms with complications occurring during prosthetic treatment are important clinical problems. In previously presented research, submicron inorganic particles of silver sodium hydrogen zirconium phosphate (S-P) were introduced into poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) denture base material which allowed for obtaining the antimicrobial effect during a 90 day experiment. The aim of the present study was to investigate the flexural strength, impact strength, hardness, wear resistance, sorption, and solubility during three months of storage in distilled water. With increasing S-P concentration after 2 days of conditioning in distilled water, reduced values of flexural strength (107-72 MPa), impact strength (18.4-5.5 MPa) as well as enhanced solubility (0.95-1.49 µg/mm3) were registered, but they were at acceptable levels, and the sorption was stable. Favorable changes included increased hardness (198-238 MPa), flexural modulus (2.9-3.3 GPa), and decreased volume loss during wear test (2.9-0.2 mm3). The percentage changes of the analyzed properties during the 90 days of storage in distilled water were similar for all materials.

Abstract
The increasing use of methacrylate-based materials in tissue engineering and dental restorations demands detailed evaluation of enzymolysis of these materials due to toxicity, durability, and biocompatibility concerns. The objective of this study is to develop tools for assessing and ranking the enzymolysis kinetics of dimethacrylate (DMA) compounds. Triethyleneglycol DMA and diurethane DMA are employed as model DMAs for kinetic studies of 2-step enzymolysis by 2 esterases, pseudocholine esterase and cholesterol esterase. In addition, the intermediate hydrolysis products, mono-methacrylates (mono-MAs), are prepared via esterases. The kinetics of DMA enzymolysis are evaluated per the concentrations of DMA. The enzymolysis products are quantified by high-performance liquid chromatography. Additionally, stoichiometric analysis and a Berkeley Madonna model are employed to compare the efficacy of esterases in DMA enzymolysis. The chemical structure of mono-MAs is verified by proton and heteronuclear single quantum coherence (2D 1H-13C) nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. In evaluating the ratio of sequential and simultaneous degradations of DMA and mono-MA, the stoichiometric analysis draws the same conclusions without using [mono-MA] as the experimental observation using [mono-MA]. The majority of the 4 esterase-DMA combinations undergo the sequential enzyme-catalyzed hydrolysis, from DMA to mono-MA to diol. However, cholesterol esterase is more effective than pseudocholine esterase in maintaining sequential degradation until >90% of DMA is decomposed. Both enzymolysis steps are first-order reactions. The mono-MAs are more hydrolysis resistant than DMAs. Moreover, esterase efficacy and selectivity on DMA enzymolysis are presented. The stoichiometric analysis provides valuable tools in assessing DMA enzymolysis when mono-MA is difficult to be obtained. The resistance of mono-MAs to enzymolysis suggests a need for thorough toxicity evaluations of these intermediate compounds. It also advocates the alternative approaches in designing and developing durable and biocompatible materials.

Abstract
Cholesterol esterase-like (CE) activity from saliva and esterase from cariogenic bacteria hydrolyze ester linkages of dental methacrylate resins. Collagenolytic, matrix metalloproteinase-like (MMP) activities from dentin and bacteria degrade collagen in demineralized tooth dentin. Human neutrophils in the oral cavity contain factors that are hypothesized to have CE and MMP activities that could contribute to the degradation of methacrylate resins and dentinal collagen. OBJECTIVES: To measure the CE and MMP activities from human neutrophils and their ability to degrade dental methacrylate resin composite and dentinal collagen. Neutrophils' CE and MMP activities were measured using nitrophenyl-esters or fluorimetric MMP substrates, respectively. Neutrophils' degradation of resin composite and dentinal collagen was quantified by measuring release of a universal 2,2-Bis[4-(2-hydroxy-3-methacryloxypropoxy)phenyl]propane (bisGMA)-derived resin composite degradation byproduct, bishydroxy-propoxy-phenyl-propane (bisHPPP), or a collagen degradation by-product, hydroxyproline, respectively using ultra performance liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry. Neutrophils' CE activity increased the release of bisHPPP from bisGMA monomer compared to control after 24 and 48 h (p < 0.05). Neutrophils degraded polymerized resin composite and produced higher amounts of bisHPPP than buffer after 48 h of incubation (p < 0.05). Neutrophils show generic MMP, gelatinase, MMP-2 and MMP-9, and collagenase, MMP-1 and MMP-8 activities that were stable or increased over the first 24 h (p < 0.05). Neutrophils degraded demineralized dentin more than buffer-only groups, indicated by higher amounts of hydroxyproline (p < 0.05). The ability of neutrophils to degrade both dental resin composite and tooth dentin, suggest neutrophil's potential role in root caries, and in recurrent carries by accelerating the degradation of resin-dentin interfaces, and compromising the longevity of the restoration. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Neutrophils are part of the innate immune system and are constantly entering the oral cavity through the gingival sulcus, in direct contact with the tooth, restoration, restoration-tooth margins and pathogenic bacteria. The current study is the first to characterize and quantify degradative activities from neutrophils toward methacrylate resin and demineralized dentin, the two main components of the restoration-tooth interface, suggesting that this interface could be negatively influenced by neutrophils, potentially contributing to increase in caries formation and progression, and premature restoration failure. This study provides a significant finding to the biomaterials and oral health fields by identifying a potential weakness in current restorative procedures and materials used to manage gingival proximal and cervical gingival or sub-gingival carious lesions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE For the past several decades, the resins used in dental restorations have been plagued with numerous problems, including their implication in biofilm formation and secondary caries. The need for alternative resins is critical, and evaluation of biofilm formation on these resins is essential. The aim of this study was to evaluate in vitro biofilm formation on the surface of novel copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC)-based resins and composites. METHODS CuAAC-based resins/composites made from varying azide monomers and different copper concentrations were compared with BisGMA-TEGDMA resins/composites that served as the control. Biofilms were formed using a mono-species model containing a luciferase-expressing strain of Streptococcus mutans. Luciferase activity was measured and the number of viable bacteria was enumerated on biofilms associated with each resin and composite. RESULTS A significant reduction (p<0.05) in luciferase activity, and the number of viable bacteria recovered from biofilms on CuAAC-based resins and composites was observed in comparison to biofilms associated with the BisGMA-TEGDMA controls. SIGNIFICANCE CuAAC-based resins do still allow for the formation of biofilms; however, the statistically significant reduction of growth that was associated with the CuAAC resin may enhance the longevity of restorations that incorporate CuAAC-based materials.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Two leading causes contributing to dental restoration replacement are the marginal breakdown at the composite/dentin interface and secondary caries mediated by bacteria. The objective of the present study was to synthesize oligomers which incorporated enhanced bio-stability but would also be able to generate antimicrobial function if they underwent degradation. METHODS Stability was incorporated into the oligomers by generating structural features that would physically hinder the availability of hydrolytically sensitive groups in the oligomers. As a proof-of concept for the antibacterial feature, antimicrobial function was achieved by covalently incorporating Ciprofloxacin (CF) into the backbone of cross-linking divinyl oligomers (referred to as EDV and HLH-CFPEG). The hydrolytic stability of the oligomers was studied in simulated human salivary esterase and compared to the commercial monomer 2,2-bis[4(2-hydroxy-3-methacryloxypropoxy)-phenyl]propane (BisGMA). RESULTS Both drug oligomers were found to be significantly more stable than BisGMA. Upon degradation, both drug oligomers released CF differentially in free form. Polymer synthesis from resin formulations containing 15wt% HLH-CFPEG showed a high degree of vinyl group conversion and gel content, and under hydrolytic conditions showed the release of CF during a 28-day monitoring study period. SIGNIFICANCE HLH-CFPEG can be used in dental resin adhesive systems for local delivery of CF to the marginal interface. Minimizing the growth of Streptococcus mutans at the marginal site can improve longevity by reducing esterase activity derived specifically from S. mutans.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Antimicrobial oligomers synthesized from ciprofloxacin (CF) and metronidazole (MN) were investigated for their potential use in dental adhesives. METHODS Susceptibility of the cariogenic bacterium Streptococcus mutans UA159 to CF, MN, and CF/MN combination was evaluated. Hydrolytic stability and drug release from the oligomers was studied in buffer and simulated human salivary esterase conditions. Cytotoxicity of films with 15wt% drug oligomers co-polymerized with commercial monomers were assessed using human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs). In-house adhesives were prepared and characterized for viscosity. Polymerized films were analysed for gel content and water swelling. Interfacial fracture toughness (KIC) of composites bonded to dentin by either a 2 or 3-step etch-and-rinse approach using the in-house formulated adhesives was measured. RESULTS The respective minimum inhibitory concentration for CF and MN against S. mutans was 0.7 and 2400μg/mL, with the combination having an additive effect (0.35μg/mL CF with 1200μg/mL MN). Antibiotics were released upon hydrolysis of the oligomers. Films containing the drug oligomers were not cytotoxic against HGFs. Replacing 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate with the drug oligomers increased the viscosity of the experimental adhesives, reduced gel content, and decreased swelling of films in water. Antimicrobial adhesives demonstrated bonding to dentin with interfacial KIC values comparable to the in-house control in the 2-step application, and with slightly lower KIC values in the 3-step approach. SIGNIFICANCE The antimicrobial oligomers can be incorporated into dental adhesive systems using formulations that show comparable fracture toughness to commercial materials, and may provide a means to deliver local antimicrobial drug release at the marginal interface.

Abstract
Resin biostability is of critical importance to the durability of methacrylate-based dental resin restorations. Current methods for evaluating biostability take considerable time, from weeks to months, and provide no short-time kinetics of resin degradation. The objective of this study is to develop a more sensitive method to assess resin biostability over short-time spans (hours to days) that will enhance our understanding of biostability and its resin chemistry. Ultra-flat resin films of equimolar urethane dimethacrylate (UDMA) and triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA) are produced through photo-curing between two flat surfaces. Next, metal-covered enclaves and bare-resin channels are generated using stencil lithography to create both degradable and protected (internal reference) regions simultaneously in a single specimen. Resins having three different degrees of vinyl conversion (DC) are compared, and changes of surface roughness and step height in the two regions are monitored by atomic force microscopy (AFM) before and after incubated in enzyme solutions and saline controls. Specimen biostability is ranked based on the topological profile changes when viewed in cross-section before and after enzymatic challenges. In addition, a model is proposed to quantify specimen enzymatic degradation. Based on this model, enzymatic degradation is detected as early as 4 h, and a surge of enzymatic degradation is detected between 4 h and 8 h. The correlation between the DC of resin network and the surge in degradation is discussed. In summary, this new method is effective in ranking biostability and quantifying enzymatic degradation while also reducing labor, time and cost, which lends itself well to materials development and evaluation of dental resins. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE We report, for the first time, the short-time kinetics of enzymatic degradation of methacrylate dental resins. A nanotechnology based method is developed to accelerate the evaluation of resin biostability. This new method reduces experimental time from weeks to one or two days, which will significantly reduce the costs of labor and enzymes. It also introduces a corresponding parameter (ΔH) and a three-cause model for ranking biostability, which confirms the correlation of chemical structure (DC) and material performance and opens new opportunities for studying the resin biostability and its impact on dental applications. Overall, this is a new tool for evaluating resin biostability and developing new materials.

Abstract
Several new urethane-based dimethacrylates were synthesized, characterized and used to formulate the resin composites. Compressive strength (CS) was used as a screen tool to evaluate the mechanical property of the formed composites. Flexural strength, diametral tensile strength, water sorption, degree of conversion and shrinkage of the composites were also evaluated. The results show that most of the synthesized urethane-based dimethacrylates were solid, which are not suitable to dental filling restorations. However, it was found that liquid urethane-based dimethacrylates could be derivatized using asymmetrical methacrylate synthesis. Not only the newly synthesized urethane-based dimethacrylates showed lower viscosity values but also their constructed composites exhibited higher mechanical strengths. Without triethyleneglycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA) addition, the new urethane-constructed composites showed significantly lower water sorption and shrinkage.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To identify and characterize specific esterases from S. mutans with degradative activity toward methacrylate-based resin monomers. METHODS Out of several putative esterases, an esterase encoded in an Open Reading Frame as SMU_118c (The National Center for Biotechnology Information, NCBI), was found to have true hydrolase activities. SMU_118c was cloned, expressed, purified and further characterized for its respective hydrolytic activity towards ester-containing nitrophenyl substrates and the universal resin monomers bis-phenyl-glycidyl-dimethacrylate (bisGMA) and triethyleneglycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA) at neutral (7.0) or cariogenic (5.5) pH. Mass spectrometry (MS) was used to verify the expression of SMU_118c protein in S. mutans UA159. RESULTS Similar to the whole cell activity of S. mutans, SMU_118c showed the highest affinity toward para-nitrophenyl acetate (pNPA) and para-nitrophenyl butyrate (pNPB) vs. ortho-nitrophenyl butyrate (oNPB) and butyrylthiocholine iodide (BTC) (p < 0.05). The esterase retained 60% of its activity after 21 days and hydrolyzed bisGMA at a higher rate than TEGDMA at both neutral and cariogenic pH (p < 0.001), similarly to the predominant human salivary esterase degradative activity. MS confirmed that SMU_118c is an intracellular protein in S. mutans UA159 and expressed under pathogenic (pH 5.5) growth conditions. SIGNIFICANCE The similarity in the activity profile to the whole S. mutans bacterial cell, the stability over time at cariogenic pH, the preference to hydrolyze bisGMA and confirmed expression profile suggest that SMU_118c could be a significant contributor to the whole bacterial degradative activity of S. mutans toward the degradation of resin composites, adhesives and the restoration-tooth interface, potentially accelerating restoration's failure. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE The current study builds upon our highly-cited previous study by Bourbia et al., (JDR, 2013) that reported on that the cariogenic bacterium, S. mutans has esterase-like activities that enable the bacterium to degrade dental composites and adhesives. The current submission is the first to report on the isolation and characterization of the specific esterase activity (SMU_118c) from S. mutans that is a significant contributor to the whole bacterial degradative activity toward the hydrolysis of dental resins. This activity compromises the restoration-tooth interface, increases interfacial bacterial microleakage (Kermanshahi et al., JDR 2010), potentially contributing to the pathogenesis of recurrent caries around resin composite restorations. This represent a significant contribution to the field of biomaterials and their clinical performance.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the combined effect of simulated occlusal loading and plaque-derived biofilm on the interfacial integrity of dental composite restorations, and to explore whether the effects are modulated by the incorporation of sucrose. METHODS MOD-class-II restorations were prepared in third molars. Half of the specimens (n=27) were subjected to 200,000 cycles of mechanical loading using an artificial oral environment (ART). Then, both groups of specimens (fatigued and non-fatigued) were divided into three subgroups for testing in CDC-reactors under the following conditions: no biofilm (Control), biofilm with no sucrose (BNS) and biofilm pulsed with sucrose (BWS). BNS and BWS reactors were incubated with a multispecies inoculum from a single plaque donor whereas the control reactor was not. The BWS reactor was pulsed with sucrose five times a day. The biofilm challenges were repeated sequentially for 12 weeks. pH was recorded for each run. Specimens were examined for demineralization with micro-CT and load capacity by fast fracture test. RESULTS Demineralization next to the restorations was only detectable in BWS teeth. Fracture loads were significantly reduced by the concomitant presence of biofilm and sucrose, regardless of whether cyclic mechanical loading was applied. Cyclic loading reduced fracture loads under all reactor conditions, but the reduction was not statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS Sucrose pulsing was required to induce biofilm-mediated degradation of the adhesive interface. We have presented a comprehensive and clinically relevant model to study the effects of mechanical loading and microbial challenge on the interfacial integrity of dental restorations.

Abstract
The monomeric components of resin composites in dental restorative materials are susceptible to hydrolysis in the oral cavity. The main objective of this study was to assess the bio-stability of fluorinated urethane dimethacrylates and determine the nature of fluoro-chemistry interactions with protein and bacterial adhesion (both sources of hydrolytic activity) onto cured resin. Degradation studies were performed in the presence of either albumin (in a mildly alkaline pH) or cholesterol esterase (CE). The surface chemistry of the polymers was assessed by water contact angle measurements, pre- and post- incubation with albumin. Adhesion of Streptococcus mutans to cured resin was investigated. The fluorinated monomers were more stable against degradation when compared to the commercial monomer bisphenol A-diglycidyl methacrylate (BisGMA). While fluorinated monomers showed hydrolytic stability with respect to CE, all fluorinated monomers underwent some degree of degradation with albumin. The fluoro-chemistry did not reduce protein and/or bacterial adhesion onto the surface, however post incubation with albumin, the fluorinated surfaces still presented hydrophobic character as determined by the high contact angle values ranging from 79° to 86°. These monomers could potentially be used to increase the hydrophobicity of polymeric composites and provide a means to moderate esterolytic degradation associated with the monomeric component of the polymers within the oral cavity.

Abstract
Urethane-based polymers are very biocompatible in many biomedical applications. This study reports the synthesis of new low viscosity urethane dimethacrylates and evaluation of the formed composites. New urethane dimethacrylates were synthesized and formulated to form the composites. Compressive strength was used as a primary tool to evaluate the mechanical property. Water sorption, solubility, degree of conversion, flexural strengths and shrinkage were also investigated. It was found that liquid urethane dimethacrylates could be synthesized by derivatizing isocyanates with asymmetrical methacrylates. By eliminating diluent triethylene glycol dimethacrylate, the new urethane dimethacrylate-composed composites showed significantly higher modulus, lower water sorption, lower solubility and lower shrinkage, as compared to commercial BisGMA- and UDMA-based ones.

Abstract
Background The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of storage medium and aging duration on Martens hardness (HM) and indentation modulus (EIT) of self-adhesive resin-based cements (SARCs). Methods A total of 416 discs were fabricated from 8 SARCs (n = 52 per SARC): (i) BeautyCem (BEA), (ii) Bifix SE (BIF), (iii) Clearfil SA Cement Automix (CLE), (iv) RelyX Unicem2 Automix (RXU), (v) SeT (SET), (vi) SmartCem 2 (SMC), (vii) SoloCem (SOC) and (viii) SpeedCEM (SPC). The specimens were ground and stored in (a) physiological saliva, (b) artificial saliva, (c) sodium chloride and (d) distilled water, at 37°C for 1, 7, 14, 28, 90 and 180 days. Non-aged specimens (3 hours after photo-initiation) of each SARC acted as control groups. HM and EIT were assessed using a universal hardness testing machine. Data were analyzed using Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Kruskal-Wallis tests and paired t-test, and 3-, 2- and 1-way ANOVA with post hoc Scheffé test (p<0.05). Results SARC materials exerted the highest influence on HM and EIT values (p<0.001, partial eta squared [ηP²] = 0.753 and 0.433, respectively), closely followed by aging duration (p<0.001, ηP² = 0.516 and 0.255) and storage medium (p<0.001, ηP² = 0.043 and 0.033). The interaction effect of the combinations of the 3 independent parameters was also significant (p<0.001, ηP² = 0.163 and 0.133). The lowest initial HM and EIT was presented by CLE, followed by SET and SPC; highest HM was for BIF, followed by RXU and SMC. SET gave a greater HM and EIT percentage decrease than SOC, SPC, BEA, SMC, RXU or CLE. Conclusions Aging duration is a major factor affecting the micromechanical properties of SARCs, while storage medium was shown to have a significant but minor role.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to evaluate antibacterial activity of composite materials modified with calcium fluoride against cariogenic bacteria S. mutans and L. acidophilus. One commercially available conventional light-curing composite material containing fluoride ions (F2) and two commercially available flowable light-curing composite materials (Flow Art and X-Flow) modified with 1.5, 2.5, and 5.0 wt% anhydrous calcium fluoride addition were used in the study. Composite material samples were incubated in 0.95% NaCl at 35°C for 3 days; then dilution series of S. mutans and L. acidophilus strains were made from the eluates. Bacteria dilutions were cultivated on media afterwards. Colony-forming unit per 1 mL of solution (CFU/mL) was calculated. Composite materials modified with calcium fluoride highly reduced (p < 0.001) bacteria growth compared to commercially available composite materials containing fluoride compounds. The greatest reduction in bacteria growth was observed for composite materials modified with 1.5% wt. CaF2. All three tested composite materials showed statistically greater antibacterial activity against L. acidophilus than against S. mutans.

Abstract
The short average service life of traditional dental composite restorative materials and increasing occurrence of secondary caries adjacent to composite restorations and sealants are necessitating the development of new, longer lasting compositions. Novel monomers and their polymers, reinforcing fillers, and adhesive components are needed. The goal of this research is to develop resin systems for use in restorations, sealants, and other dental services that are superior in properties and endurance to currently used bisphenol A glycidyl dimethacrylate/triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (Bis-GMA/TEGDMA) and urethane-dimethacrylate products. Ether-based monomers and their polymers that were not susceptible to enzymatic or hydrolytic degradation were prepared and characterized. They showed no degradation under hydrolytic and enzymatic challenges, whereas the hydrolysis of ester links weakened contemporary resins within 16 days under these challenges. The success of the ether-based materials is promising in making durable systems that are subjected to long-term biochemical and hydrolytic challenges in oral environments.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Desensitizing agents are used, almost as routine practice, in many adhesive restorative procedures. There is still debate as to their effect in dentin bonding, particularly with self-etching adhesives. The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of different desensitizing agents on the bond strength of mild and strong self-etching adhesive systems to dentin. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred twenty recently extracted, noncarious human molars were used to obtain superficial dentin substrate for bonding. No desensitizer was used in the control groups. The experimental groups were pretreated with Gluma Desensitizer, MicroPrime B, and Dentin Desensitizer immediately prior to bonding with self-etching adhesives Optibond XTR, Xeno IV, and iBond. A bonding jig was used to fabricate composite cylinders, which were stored for either 24 hours or three months, after which the shear bond strength (SBS) was evaluated using a notched-edge testing device at a crosshead speed of 1 mm/min. Failure mode distribution was also evaluated at 24 hours and three months. A two-way analysis of variance, Tukey test, and Student t-test, with a significance level of p<0.05, were used for data analysis. RESULTS At 24 hours, there was no significant difference in SBS when the same adhesive was used with any of the experimental desensitizing agents compared with the control group without desensitizer. However, at three months, Dentin Desensitizer bonded with Optibond XTR demonstrated significantly lower SBS (p<0.001), while Gluma bonded with iBond showed significantly higher SBS values (p=0.034) relative to their corresponding control group. Only MicroPrime B bonded with Xeno IV and iBond with no desensitizer demonstrated a significant reduction in SBS after three months (p=0.034 and p=0.002, respectively). The most prevalent type of failure was adhesive. CONCLUSION Desensitizing agents can be used in combination with self-etching adhesives to control hypersensitivity without adversely affecting their bond strength to dentin.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The ester linkages contained within dental resin monomers (such as Bisphenol A-glycidylmethacrylate (BisGMA) and triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA)) are susceptible to hydrolytic degradation by salivary esterases, however very little is known about the specific esterase activities implicated in this process. The objective of this work was to isolate and identify the dominant proteins from saliva that are associated with the esterase activities shown to be involved in the degradation of BisGMA. METHODS Human whole saliva was collected and processed prior to separation in a HiPrep 16/60 Sephacryl S-200 HR column. The fraction with the highest esterase activity was further separated by an anion exchange column (Mono-Q (10/100G)). Isolated fractions were then separated by gel electrophoresis, and compared to a common bench marker esterase, cholesterol esterase (CE), and commercial albumin which has been reported to express esterase activity. Proteins suspected of containing esterase activity were analyzed by Mass Spectroscopy (MS). Commercially available proteins, similar to the salivary esterase proteins identified by MS, were used to replicate the enzymatic complexes and confirm their degradation activity with respect to BisGMA. RESULTS MS data suggested that the enzyme fraction with the highest esterase activity was contained among a group of proteins consisting of albumin, Zn-α2-glycoprotein, α-amylase, TALDO1 protein, transferrin, lipocalin2, and prolactin-induced protein. Studies concluded that the main esterase bands on the gels in each fraction did not overlap with CE activity, and that albumin activity emerged as a lead candidate with significant esterase activity relative to BisGMA degradation, particularly when it formed a complex with Zn-α2-glycoprotein, under slightly basic conditions. SIGNIFICANCE These enzyme complexes can be used as a physiologically relevant formulation to test the biostability of composite resins.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to determine if Gluma dentin desensitizer (5.0% glutaraldehyde and 35% HEMA in water) can inhibit the endogenous MMPs of dentin matrices in 60 s and to evaluate its effect on dentin matrix stiffness and dry mass weight. METHODS Dentin beams of 2 mm×1 mm×6 mm were obtained from extracted human third molars coronal dentin. To measure the influence of Gluma treatment time on total MMP activity of dentin, beams were dipped in 37% phosphoric acid (PA) for 15 s and rinsed in water. The acid-etched beams were then dipped in Gluma for 5, 15, 30 or 60 s, rinsed in water and incubated into SensoLyte generic MMP substrate (AnaSpec, Inc.) for 60 min. Controls were dipped in water for 60 s. Additional beams of 1 mm×1 mm×6 mm were completely demineralized in 37% PA for 18 h, rinsed and used to evaluate changes on the dry weight and modulus of elasticity (E) after 60 s of Gluma treatment followed by incubation in simulated body fluid buffer for 0, 1 or 4 weeks. E was measured by 3-pt flexure. RESULTS Gluma treatment inhibited total MMP activity of acid-etched dentin by 44, 50, 84, 86% after 5, 15, 30 or 60 s of exposure, respectively. All completely demineralized dentin beams lost stiffness after 1 and 4 weeks, with no significant differences between the control and Gluma-treated dentin. Gluma treatment for 60 s yielded significantly less dry mass loss than the control after 4 weeks. SIGNIFICANCE The use of Gluma may contribute to the preservation of adhesive interfaces by its cross-linking and inhibitory properties of endogenous dentin MMPs.

Abstract
A major reason for dental resin composite restoration replacement is related to secondary caries promoted by acid production from bacteria including Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans). We hypothesized that S. mutans has esterase activities that degrade dental resin composites and adhesives. Standardized specimens of resin composite (Z250), total-etch (Scotchbond Multipurpose, SB), and self-etch (Easybond, EB) adhesives were incubated with S. mutans UA159 or uninoculated culture medium (control) for up to 30 days. Quantification of the BisGMA-derived biodegradation by-product, bishydroxy-propoxy-phenyl-propane (BisHPPP), was performed by high-performance liquid chromatography. Surface analysis of the specimens was performed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). S. mutans was shown to have esterase activities in levels comparable with those found in human saliva. A trend of increasing BisHPPP release throughout the incubation period was observed for all materials and was more elevated in the presence of bacteria vs. control medium for EB and Z250, but not for SB (p < .05). SEM confirmed the increased degradation of all materials with S. mutans UA159 vs. control. S. mutans has esterase activities at levels that degrade resin composites and adhesives; degree of degradation was dependent on the material's chemical formulation. This finding suggests that the resin-dentin interface could be compromised by oral bacteria that contribute to the progression of secondary caries.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the effect of silane primer application, intermediate adhesive agent/repair composite, and storage period on the interfacial microtensile bond strength (μTBS) of repaired silorane-based resin composite compared with unrepaired composites and on the nanoleakage. METHODS Forty-eight 1-month-old substrate specimens from Filtek P90 were roughened, etched, and distributed over two groups (n=24) based on receiving silane (Clearfil Ceramic Primer) or not. Then, half of the specimens (n=12) were repaired with P90 System Adhesive/Filtek P90 and the other half with Adper Scotchbond Multipurpose adhesive/Filtek Z250 resin composite. Within each repair category, repaired specimens were stored in artificial saliva at 37°C for either 24 hours (n=6) or two years before being serially sectioned into sticks (0.6 ± 0.01 mm(2)). From each specimen, two sticks were prepared for nanoleakage determination and four sticks were used for μTBS testing. Additional unrepaired specimens from each composite (n=12) were made to determine the cohesive strength at 24 hours and two years. Mean μTBS were calculated and statistically analyzed. Modes of failure were also determined. RESULTS General linear model analysis revealed no significant effect for the silane priming, intermediate adhesive agent/repair composite, and storage period or for their interactions on the μTBS values of the repaired specimens. There was no significant difference between the cohesive strength of Filtek P90 and Filtek Z250; both were significantly higher than all repaired categories. At 24 hours, nanoleakage was not detected when silorane-based composite was repaired with the same material. However, after two years, all repair categories showed nanoleakage. CONCLUSIONS Silane application has no effect on μTBS and nanoleakage. Durability of the interfacial bond of repaired silorane-based resin composite appeared successful regardless of the chemistry of the intermediate adhesive agent/composite used for repair. However, nanoleakage was detected early when a different repair intermediate adhesive agent/composite was used.

Abstract
Biocompatibility of dentin bonding agents (DBA) and composite resin may affect the treatment outcome (e.g., healthy pulp, pulpal inflammation, pulp necrosis) after operative restoration. Bisphenol-glycidyl methacrylate (BisGMA) is one of the major monomers present in DBA and resin. Prior studies focused on salivary esterase for metabolism and degradation of resin monomers clinically. This study found that human dental pulp cells expressed mainly carboxylesterase-2 (CES2) and smaller amounts of CES1A1 and CES3 isoforms. Exposure to BisGMA stimulated CES isoforms expression of pulp cells, and this event was inhibited by catalase. Exogenous addition of porcine esterase prevented BisGMA- and DBA-induced cytotoxicity. Interestingly, inhibition of CES by bis(p-nitrophenyl) phosphate (BNPP) and CES2 by loperamide enhanced the cytotoxicity of BisGMA and DBA. Addition of porcine esterase or N-acetyl-l-cysteine prevented BisGMA-induced prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) and PGF(2α) production. In contrast, addition of BNPP and loperamide, but not mevastatin, enhanced BisGMA-induced PGE(2) and PGF(2α) production in dental pulp cells. These results suggest that BisGMA may induce the cytotoxicity and prostanoid production of pulp cells, leading to pulpal inflammation or necrosis via reactive oxygen species production. Expression of CES, especially CES2, in dental pulp cells can be an adaptive response to protect dental pulp against BisGMA-induced cytotoxicity and prostanoid release. Resin monomers are the main toxic components in DBA, and the ester group is crucial for monomer toxicity.

Abstract
Resin-dentin bond strength durability testing has been extensively used to evaluate the effectiveness of adhesive systems and the applicability of new strategies to improve that property. Clinical effectiveness is determined by the survival rates of restorations placed in non-carious cervical lesions (NCCL). While there is evidence that the bond strength data generated in laboratory studies somehow correlates with the clinical outcome of NCCL restorations, it is questionable whether the knowledge of bonding mechanisms obtained from laboratory testing can be used to justify clinical performance of resin-dentin bonds. There are significant morphological and structural differences between the bonding substrate used in in vitro testing versus the substrate encountered in NCCL. These differences qualify NCCL as a hostile substrate for bonding, yielding bond strengths that are usually lower than those obtained in normal dentin. However, clinical survival time of NCCL restorations often surpass the durability of normal dentin tested in the laboratory. Likewise, clinical reports on the long-term survival rates of posterior composite restorations defy the relatively rapid rate of degradation of adhesive interfaces reported in laboratory studies. This article critically analyzes how the effectiveness of adhesive systems is currently measured, to identify gaps in knowledge where new research could be encouraged. The morphological and chemical analysis of bonded interfaces of resin composite restorations in teeth that had been in clinical service for many years, but were extracted for periodontal reasons, could be a useful tool to observe the ultrastructural characteristics of restorations that are regarded as clinically acceptable. This could help determine how much degradation is acceptable for clinical success.

Abstract
Penetration of adhesives into the demineralized dentin surface and their subsequent conversion are critically important to longevity of the adhesive resin (AR)-dentin bond. The durability of the resin-dentin bond is investigated by monitoring the change of adhesive concentration within the hybrid layer (HL) of aged specimens using Raman spectroscopy. Absolute molar concentrations of Bis-GMA and HEMA were measured across the HL of resin-dentin specimens 24 h after photopolymerization and after 24-week storage in one of three media: artificial saliva (SAL), SAL containing cholesterol esterase to attack resin (EST), and SAL containing bacterial collagenase to attack collagen (COL). No significant difference among these groups for both Bis-GMA and HEMA molar concentrations at 24-h storage was found; however, concentrations decreased from the AR to the middle of the HL. Concentrations remained unchanged at any resin-dentin position after aging in SAL. In the HL, concentrations significantly decreased with aging in COL and tended to decrease in EST. While showing potential enzymatic biodegradative effects of endogenous matrix metalloproteinases and salivary esterases, this methodology may also prove to be a valuable assessment of new chemistries and future approaches to improve resin-dentin bond performance.

Abstract
Bis-GMA-containing resin composites and adhesives undergo biodegradation by human-saliva-derived esterases, yielding Bis-hydroxy-propoxy-phenyl-propane (Bis-HPPP). The hypothesis of this study is that the exposure of dental restorations to saliva-like esterase activities accelerates marginal bacterial microleakage. Resin composites (Scotchbond, Z250, 3M) bonded to human dentin were incubated in either buffer or dual-esterase media (pseudocholinesterase/cholesterol-esterase; PCE+CE), with activity levels simulating those of human saliva, for up to 90 days. Incubation solutions were analyzed for Bis-HPPP by high-performance liquid chromatography. Post-incubation, specimens were suspended in a chemostat-based biofilm fermentor cultivating Streptococcus mutans NG8, a primary species associated with dental caries, for 7 days. Bacterial microleakage was assessed by confocal laser scanning microscopy. Bis-HPPP production and depth and spatial volume of bacterial cell penetration within the interface increased with incubation time and were higher for 30- and 90-day PCE+CE vs. buffer-incubated groups, suggesting that biodegradation can contribute to the formation of recurrent decay.

Abstract
Resin-based dental restorative materials are extensively used today in dentistry. However, significant concerns still remain regarding their biocompatibility. For this reason, significant scientific effort has been focused on the determination of the molecular toxicology of substances released by these biomaterials, using several tools for risk assessment, including exposure assessment, hazard identification and dose-response analysis. These studies have shown that substances released by these materials can cause significant cytotoxic and genotoxic effects, leading to irreversible disturbance of basic cellular functions. The aim of this article is to review current knowledge related to dental composites' molecular toxicology and to give implications for possible improvements concerning their biocompatibility.
