Lichen planus is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting mucous membranes and skin. The current study aimed to fabricate a drug delivery system containing mycophenolate mofetil for the treatment of oral lichen planus lesions. Methods Firstly, a nanofibrous mat containing mycophenolate mofetil, zinc oxide nanoparticles, and aloe vera was designed and fabricated. The antimicrobial, cytocompatibility, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidative characteristics of fabricated scaffolds were evaluated. Then, this nanofibrous mat was applied to 12 patients suffering from bilateral erythematous/erosive Oral Lichen planus (OLP) lesions for 2 weeks. The treatment outcomes, including oral symptoms and lesion size, were compared with the routine topical treatment of these lesions; Triamcinolone ointment. Results The characterization of nanofibrous mat approved the successful fabrication of scaffolds. The fabricated nanofibers showed notable antimicrobial activity. The amounts of TNF 𝛼, IL6, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) of stimulated human gingival fibroblasts were decreased after exposure to NFs/Myco/Alv/ZnO scaffolds. The clinical trial results demonstrated the same therapeutic effects compared to the commercial ointment, while the symptoms of patients were significantly improved in the mats group. Significance. Considering the successful results of this study, the application of nanofibrous mat can be a promising product for improving treatment outcomes of OLP.","PeriodicalId":72378,"journal":{"name":"Biomaterial investigations in dentistry","volume":"195 1‐2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139161093","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

According to the degree of substitution, the obtained resin composites were marked as DSF-1 (20 wt.% of SR833s was replaced by FBMA), DSF-2 (40 wt.% of SR833s was replaced by FBMA), and DSF-3 (60 wt.% of SR833s was replaced by FBMA).

The results showed that FBMA addition could reduce surface free energy from 44.6 mN/m for DS to 32.9 mN/m for DSF-3, and lead to better anti-bacterial adhesion effect (the amounts of adherent bacteria decreased from 2.03 × 105 CFU/mm2 for DS to 6.44 × 104 CFU/mm2 for DSF-3).

Methods 26 roots were enlarged and disinfected. Dentin tubules of 24 teeth were labelled with a red fluorophore (Rhodamine B) (two samples served as controls). Root canal samples were sealed in group AH (n = 11) with a conventional sealer (AH Plus Root Canal Sealer, Dentsply DeTrey) and in group RC (n = 11) with a resin-based cement (Parabond combined with Paracore, Coltène). Roots were then sectioned horizontally and immersed in H2O2 to remove the Rhodamine B not fixed by the sealers. The empty dentin spaces were labeled with a green fluorophore (Fluorescein) enabling the evaluation of infiltration as well as microleakage by confocal microscopy. Two additional samples were fractured in vertical direction for observation under SEM. Results Group RC presented significantly more infiltration in the middle third than in the middle and apical thirds of group AH. Microleakage was significantly higher in group AH than in group RC. SEM images revealed more dentin plugs and a homogenous resin layer in group RC in contrast to group AH.

Traditional luting agents have been questioned in favor of pre-heated resin composites or flowable composites. Materials and Methods 400 disc-shaped restorations (lithium disilicate [IPS e.max CAD] or resin composite [Tetric CAD, Ivoclar]) were cemented onto dentin analog discs using different procedures (n = 20): dual-curing resin cement (Panavia V5), light-curing resin cement (Panavia Veneer LC), pre-heated resin composite (Clearfil™ AP-X) with or without pre-heated restoration, and high-filled flowable composite (Clearfil Majesty™ Flow). The biaxial flexural strength was calculated. Results There were significant effects of material, thickness, and luting procedure on flexural strength (p < 0.001). Resin composite specimens exhibited lower flexural strength (90 MPa) compared to lithium disilicate specimens (571 MPa), with thicker restorations (338 MPa) being stronger than thinner ones (323 MPa). Light-curing cement showed the highest strength (408.8 MPa)A, followed by dual-curing cement (362 MPa)B, pre-heated cement with pre-heated composite (318 MPa)C, pre-heated composite (304 MPa)C, and flowable resin composite (259 MPa)D. The light-curing cement yielded similar results to the pre-heated resin composite associated or not with the pre-heated crown for the thicker lithium disilicate specimens, whereas for the thinner lithium disilicate specimens all luting procedures performed similarly. Thin resin composite discs showed higher flexural strength when luted with light-curing cement, whereas the luting procedure had less influence for the thicker restorations. Conclusion Luting procedures impact the flexural strength of CAD/CAM lithium disilicate and resin composite restorations. Pre-heated resin composite, with or without pre-heated restoration, can replace dual-curing cement. Nevertheless, light-curing cement is superior for resin composite and 1.5 mm lithium disilicate restorations. Key-messages Different luting procedures significantly impact the flexural strength of CAD/CAM lithium disilicate and resin composite restorations, with light-curing cement demonstrating superior performance for specific thicknesses. Pre-heated resin composites, either with or without pre-heated restorations, offer a viable alternative to conventional dual-curing cement for bonding indirect restorations, presenting potential clinical advantages. Restoration thickness plays a crucial role in the mechanical response of restorations, with thinner resin composite restorations benefiting from dual- or light-curing, while thicker ones are less sensitive to luting procedure variations.","PeriodicalId":72378,"journal":{"name":"Biomaterial investigations in dentistry","volume":"47 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139268581","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Forty-eight cylinders were obtained from four polymeric materials, being two CAD/CAM acrylic resins (Ivotion-Dent and Ivotion-Base), one injected acrylic resin (IvoBase-Hydrid) and one light-cured resin composite (Empress Direct). Specimens were allocated to four subgroups for toothbrushing simulation according to the dentifrice relative dentin abrasivity (RDA) and silica content: (i) RDA 0 = 0%; (ii) RDA 50 = 3%; (iii) RDA 100 = 10%; and (iv) RDA 120 = 25%. Specimens were then subjected to toothbrushing. Surface analyses [surface roughness Ra (SR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM)] along with hardness and optical properties [translucency parameter (TP) and contrast ratio (CR)] were evaluated before and after toothbrushing. Statistical analyses were performed using ANOVA and Tukey test. A significant increase in SR was observed after toothbrushing with higher RDA toothpastes for Ivotion-Dent (100 and 120) and IvoBase-Hybrid (120). Ivotion-Base and Empress Direct presented no significant differences in SR when analyzed as a function of timepoint and RDA levels. Hardness was not influenced by toothbrushing with different RDA dentifrices, except for Empress Direct with RDA 0 toothpaste, where a decrease in the hardness was observed.

In this study, miswak fibers containing cellulose and antimicrobial extract were incorporated in commercial pit and fissure sealants. The miswak powder was characterized by different analytical techniques. The powder was mixed in different ratios (0–5%) into a pit and fissure sealant to result in five sealants (Groups 0–5), and their mechanical properties i.e. flexural strength, compressive strength, and Vickers hardness were evaluated. The sealants were also evaluated against streptococcus mutans oral pathogenic bacteria. SEM analysis confirmed irregular shape and micron-size particles of miswak powder. The infrared spectral analysis and X-ray differential peaks showed characteristic peaks related to miswak fibers. The particle appearance increased in prepared pits and fissure sealants with higher loading of miswak powder in SEM analysis. The flexural strength, compressive strength, and Vickers hardness values were obtained in the range of 148–221 (±16.6: p-value < 0.001) MPa, 43.1–50.3 MPa (±1.7: p-value <0.001), and 15.2–21.26 VHN (±0.56: p-value <0.001) for control and prepared sealant specimens respectively. In the antibacterial study, the zone of inhibitions increased with increased content of miswak from 15.6 ± 0.45 mm (Group 1) to 20.3 ± 0.32 mm (Group 5). The MIC was calculated to be 0.039%. The prepared experimental sealant had acceptable mechanical and good antibacterial properties therefore it could be recommended as an efficient pit and fissure sealant.","PeriodicalId":72378,"journal":{"name":"Biomaterial investigations in dentistry","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136067573","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
