Abstract
Objective
This study evaluated the ability of a novel zinc-releasing glass ionomer cement (GIC), Caredyne Restore (CR), to inhibit matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity and preserve dentin collagen integrity, compared with a conventional GIC (Fuji IX, FIX) and chlorhexidine (CHX), a widely used MMP inhibitor.
Methods
Demineralized bovine dentin beams were allocated to four groups: deionized water (negative control), CHX (positive control), FIX eluate, and CR eluate. MMP Activity was assessed before and after treatment using a colorimetric assay. Dentin matrix degradation was evaluated by measuring dry mass loss over 21 days in simulated body fluid and collagen fragment release after one week using Sirius Red staining.
Results
CR exhibited the greatest reduction in MMP activity (65.5 %), significantly higher than FIX (44.8 %, p = 0.02) and comparable to CHX (61 %). CR also demonstrated the lowest cumulative dry mass loss (4 %), significantly less than the control (45.8 %, p = 0.001) and FIX (p = 0.03), and comparable to CHX (13 %). Collagen fragment release was significantly reduced in the CR group (32.5 %) relative to the control (p < 0.001), comparable to CHX (27.7 %).
Conclusion
CR demonstrated significant inhibition of MMP activity and effective preservation of dentin matrix integrity compared to a conventional GIC.
Clinical significance
The use of CR may help protect dentin collagen from enzymatic degradation, potentially improving the durability and longevity of restorations in caries-affected dentin, especially in cases with a high risk of secondary caries.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Dentistry has an open access mirror journal The Journal of Dentistry: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
The Journal of Dentistry is the leading international dental journal within the field of Restorative Dentistry. Placing an emphasis on publishing novel and high-quality research papers, the Journal aims to influence the practice of dentistry at clinician, research, industry and policy-maker level on an international basis.
Topics covered include the management of dental disease, periodontology, endodontology, operative dentistry, fixed and removable prosthodontics, dental biomaterials science, long-term clinical trials including epidemiology and oral health, technology transfer of new scientific instrumentation or procedures, as well as clinically relevant oral biology and translational research.
The Journal of Dentistry will publish original scientific research papers including short communications. It is also interested in publishing review articles and leaders in themed areas which will be linked to new scientific research. Conference proceedings are also welcome and expressions of interest should be communicated to the Editor.
