Enhancing caries-affected dentin bonding with a mussel-inspired primer.
Introduction: Dental caries is the most common oral disease. In caries-affected dentin (CAD), excessive mineral loss, extensive collagen exposure and collapse, increased enzyme activity, and bacterial residues result in significantly lower resin bonding strength and durability compared to sound dentin (SD). Currently, there are no effective clinical strategies to enhance CAD bonding. Inspired by the excellent wet adhesion capability and collagen affinity of marine mussels, this study aimed to evaluate a mussel-inspired polymerizable monomer (catechol-Lys-methacrylate [CLM]) as a primer to improve CAD bonding performance.
Methods: The interactions between CLM and collagen were analyzed via Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Microtensile bond strength, nanoleakage, in-situ zymography, and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) were used to assess the bond strength and interface stability. Furthermore, the antibacterial properties of CLM were evaluated using colony-forming units counts, live/dead bacterial staining, and bacterial morphology observation.
Results: FTIR and NMR results showed that CLM was successfully grafted onto CAD collagen through its catechol groups, facilitating subsequent chemical bonding with resin. CLM increased the immediate CAD bond strength by approximately 30% and reduced immediate nanoleakage by approximately 24%, maintaining effectiveness after aging. Moreover, collagen chemical modification by CLM promoted collagen crosslinking, inhibited endogenous enzymatic activity, and conferred antibacterial properties, further enhancing bonding interface stability.
Discussion: In summary, this study reports the application of a mussel-inspired monomer, CLM, in CAD bonding. During the wet bonding process, CLM not only improves collagen stability but also serves as a molecular bridge between inorganic resin and organic collagen, thereby enhancing both immediate and aged bonding performance. These findings showing promising clinical application potential.
期刊介绍:
The translation of new discoveries in medicine to clinical routine has never been easy. During the second half of the last century, thanks to the progress in chemistry, biochemistry and pharmacology, we have seen the development and the application of a large number of drugs and devices aimed at the treatment of symptoms, blocking unwanted pathways and, in the case of infectious diseases, fighting the micro-organisms responsible. However, we are facing, today, a dramatic change in the therapeutic approach to pathologies and diseases. Indeed, the challenge of the present and the next decade is to fully restore the physiological status of the diseased organism and to completely regenerate tissue and organs when they are so seriously affected that treatments cannot be limited to the repression of symptoms or to the repair of damage. This is being made possible thanks to the major developments made in basic cell and molecular biology, including stem cell science, growth factor delivery, gene isolation and transfection, the advances in bioengineering and nanotechnology, including development of new biomaterials, biofabrication technologies and use of bioreactors, and the big improvements in diagnostic tools and imaging of cells, tissues and organs.
In today`s world, an enhancement of communication between multidisciplinary experts, together with the promotion of joint projects and close collaborations among scientists, engineers, industry people, regulatory agencies and physicians are absolute requirements for the success of any attempt to develop and clinically apply a new biological therapy or an innovative device involving the collective use of biomaterials, cells and/or bioactive molecules. “Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology” aspires to be a forum for all people involved in the process by bridging the gap too often existing between a discovery in the basic sciences and its clinical application.
