Ion release and recharge from a fissure sealant containing amorphous calcium phosphate.

ABSTRACT: To assess- the release of calcium and phosphate ions from a fissure sealant containing amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP), and to determine the re-release capacity of these ions when charged with a solution containing casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP). Nine blocks of ACP resin-based sealant were prepared and immersed in three solutions at different pH (4.0, 5.5, 7.0), and calcium and phosphate ion release was measured with ion chromatography at 1, 3, 5, 7, 14, 21 and 28 days after immersion. Sixty days after immersion, each block was charged with CPP-ACP solution in three 7-day cycles to investigate the re-release of these ions, which was measured on days 1, 3, and 7. No difference was observed in initial calcium ion release at pH 4.0 and pH 5.5. At both values, ion release was significantly higher than at pH 7.0 (p<0.001). Initial phosphate release was significantly different among the three pH values (p<0.001). After re-charging the specimens, calcium ion re-release was greater than phosphate ion release. Initial ion release from ACP resin-based sealant was greatest at the lowest pH. Ion release decreased with time. As the number of recharge cycles increased, ion re-release also improved. Phosphate ion re-release required more recharge cycles than calcium ion re-release.

Project description:BackgroundStreptococcus mutans is a common cariogenic bacterium in the oral cavity involved in plaque formation. Casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) has been introduced into tooth mousse to encourage remineralization of dental enamel. The aim of this research was to study the effect of tooth mousse containing CPP-ACP (GC Tooth Mousse®) or CPP-ACP with 0.2% fluoride (CPP-ACPF; GC Tooth Mousse Plus®; GCP) on S. mutans planktonic growth and biofilm formation.MethodsS. mutans was cultivated in the presence of different dilutions of the tooth mousse containing CPP-ACP or CPP-ACPF, and the planktonic growth was determined by ATP viability assay and counting colony-forming units (CFUs). The resulting biofilms were examined by crystal violet staining, MTT metabolic assay, confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), and scanning electron microscope (SEM).ResultsThe CPP-ACP tooth mousse (GC) at a dilution of 5-50 mg/ml (0.5-5%) did not inhibit planktonic growth, and even increased the ATP content and the number of viable bacteria after a 24 h incubation. The same was observed for the CPP-ACPF tooth mousse (GCP), except for the higher concentrations (25 and 50 mg/ml) that led to a drop in the bacterial count. Importantly, both compounds significantly decreased S. mutans biofilm formation at dilutions as low as 1.5-3 mg/ml. 12.5 mg/ml GC and 6.25 mg/ml GCP inhibited biofilm formation by 90% after 4 h. After 24 h, the MBIC90 was 6.25 mg/ml for both. CLSM images confirmed the strong inhibitory effect GC and GCP had on biofilm formation when using 5 mg/ml tooth mousse. SEM images of those bacteria that managed to form biofilm in the presence of 5 mg/ml tooth mousse, showed alterations in the bacterial morphology, where the streptococci appear 25-30% shorter on the average than the control bacteria.ConclusionOur data show that the tooth mousse containing CPP-ACP reduces biofilm formation of the cariogenic bacterium S. mutans without killing the bacteria. The use of natural substances which inhibit biofilm development without killing the bacteria, has therapeutic benefits, especially in orthodontic pediatric patients.

Project description:BackgroundThe main cause of posttreatment disease in endodontics is the remaining of microorganisms within the root canal walls after endodontic therapy. Therefore, it is essential to use root canal sealers with potent antibacterial properties. These sealers play a vital role in eradicating any remaining microorganisms and preventing recontamination, especially in situations where there might be microleakage.AimThe objective of this research was to examine the antimicrobial properties of epoxy root canal sealers containing nanoparticle amorphous calcium phosphate (NACP) against planktonic Enterococcus faecalis in a controlled laboratory environment. Furthermore, the study aimed to assess the potential cytotoxic effects of these sealers.MethodIn order to determine the antimicrobial activity, the epoxy resin sealer (AH Plus, Dentsply, Germany) was supplemented with NACP from Sigma-Aldrich, at a concentration of 3wt.%, as per the previous flowability tests. The agar well diffusion assay method was employed to evaluate the antibacterial efficacy. For this, cultured plates (n = 8) were prepared, with each plate containing three wells: one with AH Plus, one with AH Plus + NACP, and one with NACP alone. Subsequently, the plates were sited at 37°C in an incubator and allowed to incubate overnight. The width of the inhibition zones was then analyzed and recorded by the SPSS statistical software package (Version 20.0 for Windows, SPSS, Chicago, IL, USA). The cytotoxicity of the NACP incorporated AH Plus and AH Plus sealers were tested indirectly by MTT assay and directly by the multiparametric high content screening toxicology assay using fibroblast-like cells as cell lines.ResultsAH Plus + NACP showed a higher antimicrobial activity than AH Plus with significant difference (P < 0.0001). Both materials showed nonsignificant difference compared to negative control, which indicated lower cytotoxicities. For AH Plus, P=0.3599, 0.5959, and 0.4071, with time intervals 24, 72, and 168 hr, respectively. For AH Plus + NACP, P=0.4386, 0.6182, and 0.2080, with 24, 72, and 168 hr, respectively.ConclusionsNACP incorporation with epoxy resin sealer AH PLUS had a higher antimicrobial activity with lower cytotoxic effect indicating their potential therapeutic values.
