Abstract

Purpose: The goal of this in-vitro study was to determine the impact of the antimicrobial disinfecting agents chlorhexidine (Peridex) and an herbal extract (StellaLife) on the wettability of four implant surfaces: titanium machined (TM), titanium-SLA (SLA), titanium alloy (TA), and zirconia.

Materials and methods: Each implant surface in the form of a disk was disinfected with 0.12% chlorhexidine (Peridex, group 1), peppermint-flavoured herbal extract (StellaLife, group 2), and saline solution as the control liquid (group 3). Using a calibrated micro-syringe, 7.5 µl of each liquid were dispensed on the center of each disk (n = 180). Then, a goniometer was used to measure contact angles between the droplet and the disk surface to evaluate the wettability (hydrophilicity) of each implant surface. The mean from 20 contact angle measurements per liquid and implant surface was calculated. Comparative statistical analysis was performed with ANOVA and Bonferroni correction at the p 0.05 level of significance.

Results: The Bonferroni post-hoc comparison revealed a statistically significant difference with improved wettability for group 2 compared to groups 1 and 3 for rough-surfaced titanium-SLA implant surfaces.

Conclusion: Overall, titanium implants may have improved hydrophilicity when rinsed with herbal extract antimicrobial agents compared to chlorhexidine.

抗菌药物对种植体表面润湿性变化的影响：一项体外研究

目的：本体外研究的目的是确定抗菌消毒剂氯己定（Peridex）和草药提取物（StellaLife）对四种种植体表面润湿性的影响：加工钛（TM）、钛-SLA （SLA）、钛合金（TA）和氧化锆。材料与方法：用0.12%氯己定（Peridex， 1组）、薄荷味草药提取物（StellaLife， 2组）、生理盐水溶液作为对照液（3组）对种植体表面进行消毒。使用校准过的微型注射器，将每种液体7.5µl分配到每个圆盘的中心（n = 180）。然后，使用角计测量液滴与磁盘表面之间的接触角，以评估每个植入物表面的润湿性（亲水性）。计算每个液体和种植体表面20次接触角测量的平均值。比较统计学分析采用方差分析和Bonferroni校正，p < 0.05显著水平。结果：Bonferroni post-hoc比较显示，与1组和3组相比，2组在粗糙表面的钛- sla种植体表面的润湿性改善具有统计学意义。结论：总的来说，与氯己定相比，用草药提取物抗菌药物冲洗钛种植体可能改善了亲水性。
