Abstract
Light is an emerging treatment approach that is being used to treat many diseases and conditions such as pain, inflammation, and wound healing. The light used in dental therapy generally lies in visible and invisible spectral regions. Despite many positive results in the treatment of different conditions, this therapy still faces some skepticism, which has prevented its widespread adoption in clinics. The main reason for this skepticism is the lack of comprehensive information about the molecular, cellular, and tissular mechanisms of action, which underpin the positive effects of phototherapy. However, there is currently promising evidence in support of the use of light therapy across a spectrum of oral hard and soft tissues, as well as in a variety of important dental subspecialties, such as endodontics, periodontics, orthodontics, and maxillofacial surgery. The merging of diagnostic and therapeutic light procedures is also seen as a promising area for future expansion. In the next decade, several light technologies are foreseen as becoming integral parts of modern dentistry practice.

Antimicrobial Peptides and Biomarkers Induced by Ultraviolet Irradiation Have the Potential to Reduce Endodontic Inflammation and Facilitate Tissue Healing. Pharmaceutics 2022; 14:pharmaceutics14091979. [PMID: 36145725 PMCID: PMC9503046 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics14091979] [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: 08/18/2022] [Revised: 09/07/2022] [Accepted: 09/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Ultraviolet (UV) irradiation can modulate host immune responses and this approach is a novel application for treating endodontic infections and inflammation in root canals. Methods: A dataset of UV-induced molecules was compiled from a literature search. A subset of this dataset was used to calculate expression log2 ratios of endodontic tissue molecules from HEPM cells and gingival fibroblasts after 255, 405, and 255/405 nm UV irradiation. Both datasets were analyzed using ingenuity pathway analysis (IPA, Qiagen, Germantown, MD, USA). Statistical significance was calculated using Fisher’s exact test and z-scores were calculated for IPA comparison analysis. Results: The dataset of 32 UV-induced molecules contained 9 antimicrobial peptides, 10 cytokines, 6 growth factors, 3 enzymes, 2 transmembrane receptors, and 2 transcription regulators. These molecules were in the IPA canonical pathway annotations for the wound healing signaling pathway (9/32, p = 3.22 × 10−11) and communication between immune cells (6/32, p = 8.74 × 10−11). In the IPA disease and function annotations, the 32 molecules were associated with an antimicrobial response, cell-to-cell signaling and interaction, cellular movement, hematological system development and function, immune cell trafficking, and inflammatory response. In IPA comparison analysis of the 13 molecules, the predicted activation or inhibition of pathways depended upon the cell type exposed, the wavelength of the UV irradiation used, and the time after exposure. Conclusions: UV irradiation activates and inhibits cellular pathways and immune functions. These results suggested that UV irradiation can activate innate and adaptive immune responses, which may supplement endodontic procedures to reduce infection, inflammation, and pain and assist tissues to heal.

Morio KA, Sternowski RH, Brogden KA. Dataset of endodontic microorganisms killed at 265 nm wavelength by an ultraviolet C light emitting diode in root canals of extracted, instrumented teeth. Data Brief 2022; 40:107750. [PMID: 35024392 PMCID: PMC8724968 DOI: 10.1016/j.dib.2021.107750] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/20/2021] [Revised: 12/09/2021] [Accepted: 12/21/2021] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Ultraviolet C (UVC) light emitting diode (LED) can kill the endodontic pathogen Enterococcus faecalis and has the potential to kill other oral microorganisms associated with endodontic infections. This same bacteriocidal device shows great promise in the stimulation of periapical healing and pain reduction resulting from inflammation in root canals. Previously, we found that 255 nm UVC LED killed E. faecalis and induced the production of cellular biomarkers in HEPM cells and gingival fibroblasts (Morio et al., 2019). Here, we extend those findings and hypothesize that UVC LED at other wavelengths and power levels kill microorganisms associated with root canal infections. Units emitting UVC LED at 265 nm (12 mW), 265 nm (22.5 mW), and 280 nm (8 mW) wavelenths were assembled and the energy levels of their emissions were measured. The energy doses in millijoules (mJ) were calculated from the power readings of the meter (µW) × time of exposure (seconds). Ex vivo models of root canals were prepared in extracted, instrumented, single canal human premolars. Five cultures of microorganisms were treated with 265 nm (12 mW), 265 nm (22.5 mW), or 280 nm (8 mW) UVC LED on discs in laboratory assays and 4 cultures of microorganisms were treated with 265 nm (22.5 mW) UVC LED in root canals of extracted, instrumented teeth. After UVC LED treatment, all microorganisms were cultivated on microbiological media. Colony forming units (CFU) of viable microorganisms treated with UVC LED were counted and compared with those of viable microorganisms not treated with UVC LED as controls. Tukey's Honestly Significant Difference was used to determine statistical significances (0.05). Units emitting UVC LED at 265 nm (12 mW), 265 nm (22.5 mW), and 280 nm (8 mW) killed Candida albicans, Staphylococcus aureus, methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), E. faecalis, and Streptococcus sanguinis after 30-90 seconds of exposure in laboratory assays (p < 0.05). Microbial killing differed among treatment times, UVC LED wavelengths, power levels of each unit, and specific microorganism. The unit emitting UVC LED at 265 nm (22.5 mW) killed C. albicans, S. aureus, MRSA, and E. faecalis in 30 s in root canals of extracted, instrumented teeth (p < 0.05). This dataset can be reused to assess the ability of other wavelengths and power levels to kill microorganisms as well as improve procedures for treating endodontic infections and inflammation in root canals.

In Vitro Alteration by Dentine and Protein of the Antimicrobial Activity of Two Endodontic Irrigants: HybenX ® and Sodium Hypochlorite. Antibiotics (Basel) 2020; 9:antibiotics9110792. [PMID: 33182584 PMCID: PMC7696392 DOI: 10.3390/antibiotics9110792] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/29/2020] [Revised: 11/04/2020] [Accepted: 11/05/2020] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Irrigant solutions commonly used for the treatment of endodontic infections can be inhibited by both organic and inorganic substances. The aim of this study was to evaluate the in vitro antimicrobial activity of the novel irrigant HybenX® and 2.5% and 5% sodium hypochlorite against Enterococcus faecalis, in presence of dentine powder (DP) or bovine serum albumin 20% (BSA) as inhibitory agents. An E. faecalis American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) 29212 suspension was added to the irrigants (Hybenx® or NaOCl) and one or two different inhibitors (BSA and DP) either after one-hour pre-incubation at 35 ± 1 °C or not. The antimicrobial activity of HybenX® against E. faecalis was already proved at 15 min and was neither affected by BSA nor by DP or combinations thereof. NaOCl 2.5% showed an effective antimicrobial activity starting from 15 min and this activity was partially inhibited by BSA and BSA plus DP combination within one hour when pre-incubation occurred. NaOCl 5% showed antimicrobial activity within 15 min, which was inhibited within one hour only in the presence of both BSA and DP regardless of the pre-incubation period. HybenX® could represent a good alternative to common irrigants for the treatment of E. faecalis endodontic infections, showing a rapid antimicrobial activity not inhibited by organic and inorganic inhibitors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE An oral cavity is a place especially susceptible to oxidative damage. It is subjected to many environmental pro-oxidative factors or factors that have the ability to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS). The aim of this article is to present the main sources of ROS and oxidative stress in the oral environment. DESIGN A literature search was performed using the PubMed and Google Scholar databases. RESULTS One of the most important ROS sources in the oral cavity is periodontal inflammation. Other sources of ROS include: xenobiotics (ethanol, cigarette smoke, drugs), food (high-fat diet, high-protein diet, acrolein), dental treatment (ozone, ultrasound, non-thermal plasma, laser light, ultraviolet light), and dental materials (fluorides, dental composites, fixed orthodontic appliances, and titanium fixations). It has been shown that excessive production of ROS in the oral cavity may cause oxidative stress and oxidative damage to cellular DNA, lipids, and proteins, thus predisposing to many oral and systemic diseases. CONCLUSIONS Recognition of the exogenous sources of ROS and limitation of exposure to the ROS generating factors can be one of the prophylactic measures preventing oral and systemic diseases. It is suggested that antioxidant supplementation may be helpful in people exposed to excessive production of ROS in the oral cavity system.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Canal irrigation during root canal treatment is an important component of chemo-mechanical debridement of the root canal system. Traditional syringe irrigation can be enhanced by activating the irrigant to provide superior cleaning properties. This activation can be achieved by simple modifications in current technique or by contemporary automated devices. Novel techniques are also being developed, such as the Self-adjusting File (Re-Dent-Nova, Ra'anana, Israel), Ozone (Healozone, Dental Ozone, London, UK), Photoactivated Disinfection and Ultraviolet Light Disinfection. This paper reviews the techniques available to enhance traditional syringe irrigation, contemporary irrigation devices and novel techniques, citing their evidence base, advantages and disadvantages. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Recent advances in irrigation techniques and canal disinfection and debridement are relevant to practitioners carrying out root canal treatment.
