Biological Safe Gold Nanoparticle-Modified Dental Aligner Prevents the Porphyromonas gingivalis Biofilm Formation.


ABSTRACT: Oral microbiology could directly influence overall health. Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) is a highly pathogenic bacterium that causes periodontitis and other related systematic diseases, including Alzheimer's disease. Orthodontic devices (e.g., invisalign aligner) is commonly used in populations with periodontitis who are also at a high risk of systematic diseases. In this study, newly explored antibacterial 4,6-diamino-2-pyrimidinethiol-modified gold nanoparticles (AuDAPT) were coated onto aligners. The coated aligners showed favorable antibacterial activity against P. gingivalis. In the presence of the coated aligner, the number of planktonic cells was decreased, and biofilm formation was prevented. This material also showed favorable biocompatibility in vivo and in vitro. This study reveals a new method for treating oral P. gingivalis by coating aligners with AuDAPT, which has typical advantages compared to other treatments for both periodontitis and related systematic diseases.
