Abstract
With its excellent bioactivity and mesoporosity that endows controlled release of chemical or biological cues, mesoporous bioactive glass (MBG) is widely used in bone regeneration, yet less recognized in dentistry. This study investigates the enamel remineralization effect of MBG in commercial fluoride varnishes (FVs), and developes an MBG/fluoride chitosan composite hydrogel. MBG powders are added into commercial FVs (3M™ Clinpro™, Duraphat™) at different ratios to screen out the optimized proportion for mineralization. Further, an MBG/fluoride chitosan composite hydrogel (MBG/NaF/CS) has been developed at the optimized ratio, and its in vitro remineralization effect on tooth enamel after artificial saliva soaking for 1/3/5 days are evaluated via SEM, EDS and Vickers hardness test. Incorporation of 5 wt% MBG in FVs results in the most rapid and extensive hydroxyapatite (HAp) deposition within 24 h. MBG/NaF/CS hydrogel exhibits homogeneity instead of fluoride precipitation in NaF/CS hydrogel. The addition of MBG contributes to rapid, larger, and continuous fluorapatite (FAp) remineralization on enamel surface over time, and restores the hardness of enamel over normal level after 24 h. It is indicated that F- adsorption in MBG mesopores endowed the MBG/NaF/CS hydrogel an unreported continuous enamel remineralization effect up to 5 days under daily brushing. MBG enhances enamel remineralizing capacity of commercial FVs, and the novel MBG/fluoride chitosan composite hydrogel with continuous enamel remineralization effect represented a promising approach for caries management. This study may shed light on further application of MBG in dentistry.
期刊介绍:
Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces is an international journal devoted to fundamental and applied research on colloid and interfacial phenomena in relation to systems of biological origin, having particular relevance to the medical, pharmaceutical, biotechnological, food and cosmetic fields.
Submissions that: (1) deal solely with biological phenomena and do not describe the physico-chemical or colloid-chemical background and/or mechanism of the phenomena, and (2) deal solely with colloid/interfacial phenomena and do not have appropriate biological content or relevance, are outside the scope of the journal and will not be considered for publication.
The journal publishes regular research papers, reviews, short communications and invited perspective articles, called BioInterface Perspectives. The BioInterface Perspective provide researchers the opportunity to review their own work, as well as provide insight into the work of others that inspired and influenced the author. Regular articles should have a maximum total length of 6,000 words. In addition, a (combined) maximum of 8 normal-sized figures and/or tables is allowed (so for instance 3 tables and 5 figures). For multiple-panel figures each set of two panels equates to one figure. Short communications should not exceed half of the above. It is required to give on the article cover page a short statistical summary of the article listing the total number of words and tables/figures.
