[PMID: 38404640 PMCID: PMC10885616 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2024.02.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2023] [Revised: 01/23/2024] [Accepted: 02/06/2024] [Indexed: 02/27/2024] Open
Abstract
Caries is one of the most prevalent human diseases, resulting from demineralization of tooth hard tissue caused by acids produced from bacteria, and can progress to pulpal inflammation. Filling restoration with dental resin composites (DRCs) is currently the most common treatment for caries. However, existing DRCs suffer from low fracture strength and lack comprehensive anti-caries bioactivity including remineralization, pulp protection, and anti-cariogenic bacteria effects. In this study, inspired by plant roots' ability to stabilize and improve soil, fluorinated urchin-like hydroxyapatite (FUHA) with a three-dimensional whisker structure and bioactive components of calcium, phosphorus, and fluorine was designed and synthesized by a dynamic self-assembly method. Furthermore, versatile FUHA particles with different loading fractions were used as functional fillers to fabricate methacrylate-based DRCs, where the urchin-like hydroxyapatite (UHA) filled DRCs and commercial DRCs (Z350XT and BEAUTIFIL II) served as the control groups. The results demonstrated that FUHA with 50 wt% loading in resin matrix endowed DRC (F5) with excellent physicochemical properties, dentin remineralization property, cell viability, promotion of dental pulp stem cells mineralization, and antibacterial properties. Meanwhile, F5 also presented good clinical handling and aesthetic characteristics. Therefore, structure/functional-integrated FUHA filled DRCs have potential as a promising strategy for tooth restoration and anti-caries bioactivity.

Micro-Raman spectroscopy analysis of dentin remineralization using eggshell derived nanohydroxyapatite combined with phytosphingosine. J Mech Behav Biomed Mater 2023; 141:105748. [PMID: 36898356 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2023.105748] [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: 12/01/2022] [Revised: 02/24/2023] [Accepted: 02/26/2023] [Indexed: 03/05/2023]
Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess the remineralization efficacy of chicken eggshell-derived nano-hydroxyapatite (CEnHAp) combined with phytosphingosine (PHS) on artificially induced dentinal lesions. PHS was commercially procured whereas CEnHAp was synthesized using microwave-irradiation method and characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), high-resolution scanning electron microscopy-energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (HRSEM-EDX), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). A total of 75 pre-demineralized coronal dentin specimens were randomly treated with one of the following test agents (n = 15 each): artificial saliva (AS), casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP), CEnHAp, PHS, and CEnHAp-PHS under pH cycling for 7, 14, and 28 days. Vickers microhardness indenter, HRSEM-EDX, and micro-Raman spectroscopy methods were used to assess the mineral changes in the treated dentin samples. Data were submitted to Kruskal-Wallis and Friedman's two-way analyses of variance (p < 0.05). HRSEM and TEM analysis depicted irregular spherical structure of the prepared CEnHAp with a particle size of 20-50 nm. The EDX analysis confirmed the presence of Ca, P, Na and Mg ions. The XRD pattern showed the characteristic crystalline peaks for hydroxyapatite and calcium carbonate that are present in the prepared CEnHAp. Dentin treated with CEnHAp-PHS revealed highest microhardness values along with complete tubular occlusion compared to other groups at all test time intervals (p < 0.05). Specimens treated with CEnHAp showed increased remineralization than those treated with CPP-ACP followed by PHS and AS groups. The intensity of mineral peaks, as observed in the EDX and micro-Raman spectra, confirmed these findings. Further, the molecular conformation of the collagen's polypeptide chains, and amide-I and CH2 peaks attained peak intensities in dentin treated with CEnHAp-PHS and PHS whereas other groups revealed poor stability of collagen bands. Microhardness, surface topography, and micro-Raman spectroscopy analyses revealed that dentin treated with CEnHAp-PHS have an improved collagen structure and stability as well as highest mineralization and crystallinity.

Abstract
The capability of radially polymerized bio-dendrimers and hyperbranched polymers for medical applications is well established. Perhaps the most important implementations are those that involve interactions with the regenerative mechanisms of cells. In general, they are non-toxic or exhibit very low toxicity. Thus, they allow unhindered and, in many cases, faster cell proliferation, a property that renders them ideal materials for tissue engineering scaffolds. Their resemblance to proteins permits the synthesis of derivatives that mimic collagen and elastin or are capable of biomimetic hydroxy apatite production. Due to their distinctive architecture (core, internal branches, terminal groups), dendritic polymers may play many roles. The internal cavities may host cell differentiation genes and antimicrobial protection drugs. Suitable terminal groups may modify the surface chemistry of cells and modulate the external membrane charge promoting cell adhesion and tissue assembly. They may also induce polymer cross-linking for healing implementation in the eyes, skin, and internal organ wounds. The review highlights all the different categories of hard and soft tissues that may be remediated with their contribution. The reader will also be exposed to the incorporation of methods for establishment of biomaterials, functionalization strategies, and the synthetic paths for organizing assemblies from biocompatible building blocks and natural metabolites.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The cariogenic biofilm on enamel, restoration, and bonding interface is closely related to dental caries and composite restoration failure. Enamel remineralization at adhesive interface is conducive to protecting bonding interface and inhibiting secondary caries. This study intended to assess the remineralization efficiency of adhesive with dimethylaminohexadecyl methacrylate (DMAHDM) and nanoparticles of amorphous calcium phosphate (NACP) on initial caries lesion of biofilm-coated enamel. METHODS Artificial initial carious lesion was created via 72-hour immersion in demineralization solution and cariogenic biofilm was formed after 24-hour culture of Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans). Specimens were then divided into 4 groups: enamel control, enamel treated with NACP, DMAHDM and NACP+DMAHDM respectively. Samples next underwent 7-day cycling, 4 h in BHIS (brain heart infusion broth containing 1 % sucrose) and 20 h in AS (artificial saliva) per day. The pH of BHIS was tested daily. So did the concentration of calcium and phosphate in BHIS and AS. Live/dead staining, colony-forming unit (CFU) count, and lactic acid production of biofilms were measured 7 days later. The enamel remineralization efficiency was evaluated by microhardness testing and transverse microradiography (TMR) quantitatively. RESULTS Enamel of NACP+DMAHDM group demonstrated excellent remineralization effectiveness. And the NACP+DMAHDM adhesive released a great number of Ca2+ and PO43- ions, increased pH to 5.81 via acid neutralization, decreased production of lactic acid, and reduced CFU count of S. mutans (P < 0.05). SIGNIFICANCE The NACP+DMAHDM adhesive would be applicable to preventing secondary caries, strengthening enamel-adhesive interface, and extending the lifespan of composite restoration.

Abstract
Biomineralization is the process by which organisms form mineralized tissues with hierarchical structures and excellent properties, including the bones and teeth in vertebrates. The underlying mechanisms and pathways of biomineralization provide inspiration for designing and constructing materials to repair hard tissues. In particular, the formation processes of minerals can be partly replicated by utilizing bioinspired artificial materials to mimic the functions of biomolecules or stabilize intermediate mineral phases involved in biomineralization. Here, we review recent advances in biomineralization-inspired materials developed for hard tissue repair. Biomineralization-inspired materials are categorized into different types based on their specific applications, which include bone repair, dentin remineralization, and enamel remineralization. Finally, the advantages and limitations of these materials are summarized, and several perspectives on future directions are discussed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to develop a novel nanostructured resin infiltrant containing nanoparticles of amorphous calcium phosphate (NACP) to treat enamel white spot lesions (WSLs). Physical properties and the therapeutic effect of the new resin infiltrant were investigated for the first time. METHODS NACP was incorporated into ICON (Icon caries infiltrant, DMG, Germany) with different mass fractions. Cytotoxicity, degree of conversion, surface hardness, calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) ions release concentrations were tested. After application to the demineralized enamel samples, the color changes were determined. Surface and cross-sectional hardness were measured, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images were taken on the cross-section of samples to observe microstructure changes after 14-day pH cycling. RESULTS Incorporating 10%-30% of NACP did not compromise the biocompatibility and physical properties of the resin infiltrant. ICON + 30% NACP group had long-lasting and high level of Ca and P ion release. After 14-day pH cycling, enamel surface hardness of ICON + 30% NACP group was 1.83 ± 0.21 GPa, significantly higher than the control group (1.32 ± 0.18 GPa) (p < 0.05). ICON + 30NACP group had the highest cross-sectional enamel hardness among all groups (p < 0.05), especially at 50 μm and 100 μm depth. SEM images showed that apparent enamel prism and inter-prism gaps in negative control were masked by mineral deposition in ICON + 30% NACP group. SIGNIFICANCE The novel ICON+30% NACP infiltrant is promising to inhibit enamel WSLs, protect the enamel and increase its hardness.

Effect of chlorhexidine-loaded poly(amido amine) dendrimer on matrix metalloproteinase activities and remineralization in etched human dentin in vitro. J Mech Behav Biomed Mater 2021; 121:104625. [PMID: 34130080 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2021.104625] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2021] [Revised: 05/19/2021] [Accepted: 05/23/2021] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
To investigate the effect of chlorhexidine (CHX)-loaded carboxyl-terminated poly (amido amine) dendrimer (CHX-PAMAM-COOH) on matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activities and remineralization in human dentin, CHX-PAMAM-COOH was prepared and characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. The inhibitory effects of CHX, PAMAM-COOH, and CHX-PAMAM-COOH on soluble recombinant human matrix metalloproteinase (rhMMP-2) and dentin-bound endogenous MMP activity were measured using an MMP Activity Assay Kit. In situ zymography was performed to evaluate the gelatinase activity in dentin pretreated with CHX, PAMAM-COOH, and CHX-PAMAM-COOH. The remineralization of etched dentin pretreated with CHX, PAMAM-COOH, and CHX-PAMAM-COOH was evaluated by field emission-scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy disperse spectroscopy (EDS) after incubation in artificial saliva for 14 days. The results of the rhMMP-2 activity assay showed that the MMP-2 activity in the CHX-PAMAM-COOH group and the CHX group decreased significantly to 5.58 ± 0.85% (P < 0.05) and 4.86 ± 1.12% (P < 0.05), respectively, but that in the PAMAM-COOH group increased significantly to 213.38 ± 0.11% (P < 0.05). The results of total MMP activity and in situ zymography showed a significant reduction in endogenous gelatinase activity in dentin in the CHX-PAMAM-COOH group and the CHX group. The SEM and EDS results showed that rod-like crystals were formed on the etched dentin surface in the PAMAM-COOH group and the CHX-PAMAM-COOH group, and their Ca/P ratios were 1.73 and 1.71, respectively. In conclusion, CHX-PAMAM-COOH can inhibit dentin-bound endogenous MMPs and induce remineralization in etched dentin simultaneously. However, it is important to note that the catalytic role of PAMAM dendrimers may have an undesired excitatory effect on MMP activity, which cannot be ignored if PAMAM dendrimers were used alone in the oral environment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Dental caries is closely associated with acid-producing bacteria, and Streptococcus mutans is one of the primary etiological agents. Bacterial accumulation and dental demineralization lead to destruction of bonding interface, thus limiting the longevity of composite. The present study investigated remineralization effectiveness of adhesive containing nanoparticles of amorphous calcium phosphate (NACP) in a stimulated oral biofilm environment. METHODS The enamel blocks were immersed in demineralization solution for 72 h to imitate artificial initial carious lesion and then subjected to a Streptococcus mutans biofilm for 24 h. All the samples then underwent 4-h demineralization in brain heart infusion broth with sucrose (BHIS) and 20-h remineralization in artificial saliva (AS) for 7 days. The daily pH of BHIS after 4-h incubation, lactic acid production, colony-forming unit (CFU) count, and content of calcium (Ca) and phosphate (P) in biofilm were evaluated. Meanwhile, the remineralization effectiveness of enamel was analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), surface microhardness testing, transverse microradiography (TMR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). RESULTS The NACP adhesive released abundant Ca and P, achieved acid neutralization, reduced lactic acid production, and lowered CFU count (P < 0.05). Enamel treated with NACP adhesive demonstrated the best remineralization effectiveness with remineralization value of 52.29 ± 4.79% according to TMR. Better microhardness recovery of cross sections and ample mineral deposits were also observed in NACP group. CONCLUSIONS The NACP adhesive exhibited good performance in remineralizing initial enamel lesion with cariogenic biofilm. SIGNIFICANCE The NACP adhesive is promising to be applied for the protection of bonding interface, prevention of secondary caries, and longevity prolonging of the restoration.

Abstract
The oral cavity and oropharynx are complex environments that are susceptible to physical, chemical, and microbiological insults. They are also common sites for pathological and cancerous changes. The effectiveness of conventional locally-administered medications against diseases affecting these oral milieus may be compromised by constant salivary flow. For systemically-administered medications, drug resistance and adverse side-effects are issues that need to be resolved. New strategies for drug delivery have been investigated over the last decade to overcome these obstacles. Synthesis of nanoparticle-containing agents that promote healing represents a quantum leap in ensuring safe, efficient drug delivery to the affected tissues. Micro/nanoencapsulants with unique structures and properties function as more favorable drug-release platforms than conventional treatment approaches. The present review provides an overview of newly-developed nanocarriers and discusses their potential applications and limitations in various fields of dentistry and oral medicine.

Abstract
Dental resin composites (DRCs) are popular materials to repair caries. Although various types of DRCs with different characteristics have been developed, restoration failures still exist. Bulk fracture and secondary caries have been considered as main causes for the failure of composites restoration. To address these problems, various fillers with specific functions have been introduced and studied. Some fillers with specific morphologies such as whisker, fiber, and nanotube, have been used to increase the mechanical properties of DRCs, and other fillers releasing ions such as Ag+, Ca2+, and F-, have been used to inhibit the secondary caries. These functional fillers are helpful to improve the performances and lifespan of DRCs. In this article, we firstly introduce the composition and development of DRCs, then review and discuss the functional fillers classified according to their roles in the DRCs, finally give a summary on the current research and predict the trend of future development.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aims to investigate the long-term demineralization-inhibition capability of a rechargeable adhesive with nanoparticles of amorphous calcium phosphate (NACP) on dentin in a biofilm-challenged environment. METHODS The NACP adhesive was immersed in a pH 4 solution to exhaust calcium (Ca) and phosphate (P) ions and then recharged with Ca and P ions. Dentin samples were demineralized underStreptococcus mutans biofilms for 24 h and randomly divided into two groups: (1) dentin control, (2) dentin with recharged NACP adhesives. Each day, all the samples were immersed in brain heart infusion broth with 1% sucrose (BHIS) for 4 h, and then in artificial saliva (AS) for 20 h. This cycle was repeated for 10 days. The pH of BHIS, the Ca and P ions content of the BHIS and AS were measured daily. After 10 days, the lactic acid production and colony-forming units of the biofilms were tested. The changes of remineralization/demineralization were also analyzed. RESULTS Dentin in the control group showed further demineralization. The recharged NACP adhesive neutralized acids, increasing the pH to above 5, and released large amounts of Ca and P ions each day. The recharged NACP adhesive decreased the production of lactic acid (P < 0.05), inhibited dentin demineralization and sustained the dentin hardness in the biofilm-challenged environment, showing an excellent long-term demineralization-inhibition capability. CONCLUSIONS The NACP adhesive could continuously inhibit dentin demineralization in a biofilm-challenged environment by recharging with Ca and P ions. SIGNIFICANCE The rechargeable NACP adhesive could provide long-term dentin bond protection.

Abstract
Caries is the most common and extensive oral chronic disease. Due to the lack of anti-caries properties, traditional caries filling materials can easily cause secondary caries and lead to treatment failure. Nanomaterials can interfere with the bacteria metabolism, inhibit the formation of biofilm, reduce demineralization, and promote remineralization, which is expected to be an effective strategy for caries management. The nanotechnology in anti-caries materials, especially nano-adhesive and nano-composite resin, has developed fast in recent years. In this review, the antibacterial nanomaterials, remineralization nanomaterials, and nano-drug delivery systems are reviewed. We are aimed to provide a theoretical basis for the future development of anti-caries nanomaterials.

Abstract
Background The remineralization approach mechanically occludes the exposed dentinal tubules mechanically, reduces the permeability of dentinal tubules and eliminates the symptoms of dentin hypersensitivity. The aim of the present study was to investigate the remineralization of demineralized dentin slices using CPP–ACP combined with TPP, and the research hypothesis was that CPP–ACP combined with TPP could result in extrafibrillar and intrafibrillar remineralization of dentin. Methods Demineralized dentin slices were prepared and randomly divided into the following groups: A (the CPP–ACP group), B (the CPP–ACP + TPP combination group), C (the artificial saliva group), D (the negative control group), and E (the positive control group). Dentin slice samples from groups A, B and C were remineralized and the remineralization effect was evaluated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), attenuated total reflection–Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR–FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Results Treatment with CPP–ACP combined with TPP occluded the dentinal tubules and resulted in remineralization of collagen fibrils. The hydroxyapatite crystals formed via remineralization were found to closely resemble the natural dentin components. Conclusion CPP–ACP combined with TPP has a good remineralization effect on demineralized dentin slices.
