Development of a novel silver complex fluoride for caries management: an in vitro study
Objective
The objective of this study is to develop a novel antibacterial and non-discolouring silver complex fluoride (SCF) for caries management.
Methods
SCF was synthesized by reacting 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane (PTA) with silver fluoride and characterised by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. Silver and fluoride concentrations were measured by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy and fluoride ion-specific electrode. Alkalinity was measured using a pH meter. Cytotoxicity was assessed by determining the half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) against the human gingival fibroblasts (HGF-1) and stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED). Demineralised human dentine blocks were treated with SCF, incubated for 7 days with Streptococcus mutans, and assessed for antibacterial activity and discolouration. Biofilm kinetics and viability were analysed via colony-forming unit (CFU) counts and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). Dentine discolouration was quantified using colour spectrophotometry. Controls included 38% silver diamine fluoride (SDF; positive) and water (negative).
Results
At 180 days, 55% SCF solution contained 127,498 ± 3,535 ppm silver and 27,215 ± 118 ppm fluoride, with a pH of 10. SCF demonstrated higher IC50 values compared to SDF in HGF-1 (35.5 ± 1.1 ppm vs. 17.7 ± 0.5 ppm; p < 0.001) and SHED (95.5 ± 0.1 ppm vs. 6.4 ± 0.3 ppm; p < 0.001). Log CFU counts for the SCF, SDF, and Water groups were 4.2 ± 0.2, 3.8 ± 0.4 and 5.2 ± 0.2 (SCF, SDF<Water, p < 0.001). CLSM showed dead-to-live ratios of SCF, SDF and Water group were 1.0 ± 0.3, 1.4 ± 0.5, and 0.2 ± 0.1 (p < 0.001; SCF, SDF > Water). Spectrophotometric analysis revealed ΔE values of SCF, SDF and Water groups were 5.8 ± 3.3, 73.0 ± 17.6, and 5.3 ± 2.7 (p < 0.001; SCF, Water < SDF).
Conclusion
A novel SCF solution with potent antibacterial efficacy and minimal discolouration was successfully developed.
Clinical significance
SCF demonstrates promising potential for clinical use in caries management, combining antimicrobial action with aesthetic preservation.
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.
