Objectives: To evaluate the antimicrobial activity, mechanical properties, and fluoride release capacity of glass ionomer cement (GIC) used for cementing orthodontic bands and modified by ethanolic extract of red propolis (EERP) in different concentrations.

Materials And Methods: Two orthodontic GICs containing EERP at 10%, 25%, and 50%, were used. The following assays were carried out: cell viability tests against Streptococcus mutans and Candida albicans, diametral tensile strength, compressive strength, shear bond strength, microhardness, and fluoride release capacity. The statistical analyses of the antimicrobial tests, fluoride release, diametral tensile strength, compressive strength, and microhardness were performed using two-way analysis of variance and Tukey test (P < .05). Shear bond strength data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance followed by Tukey test (P < .05).

Results: At the concentrations of 25% and 50%, EERP was shown to be a promising antimicrobial agent incorporated into GICs against C albicans (P < .001) and S mutans (P < .001). The fluoride release capacity of the GICs was not affected, and the EERP concentration of 25% was the one that least affected the mechanical properties of the cements (P > .05).

Conclusions: The GICs containing EERP at 25% showed a significant increase in their antimicrobial activity against S mutans and C albicans, while mechanical properties and fluoride release remained without significant changes.

Sesame Oil () as a New Challenge for Reinforcement of Conventional Glass Ionomer Cement, Could It Be?

Authors:
Neven S Aref

Int J Dent 2021 22;2021:5516517. Epub 2021 Mar 22.

Department of Dental Biomaterials, Faculty of Dentistry, Mansoura University, Mansoura, Egypt.

Purpose: Despite the advantages of glass ionomer cement (GIC) including chemical bonding to the tooth structure and fluoride release, its low-grade mechanical properties make it a topic for research. Accordingly, this study was conducted to assess the ability of sesame oil as a natural bioactive additive to reinforce conventional glass ionomer cement.

Materials And Methods: Sesame oil was blended into the liquid component of the cement in ratios of 3 and 5 (v/v%). Read More

Reaction Mechanisms during Atomic Layer Deposition of AlF Using Al(CH) and SF Plasma.

Authors:
Martijn F J Vos Harm C M Knoops Wilhelmus M M Kessels Adriaan J M Mackus

J Phys Chem C Nanomater Interfaces 2021 Feb 10;125(7):3913-3923. Epub 2021 Feb 10.

Department of Applied Physics, Eindhoven University of Technology, P.O. Box 513, 5600 MB Eindhoven, The Netherlands.

Metal fluorides generally demonstrate a wide band gap and a low refractive index, and they are commonly employed in optics and optoelectronics. Recently, an SF plasma was introduced as a novel co-reactant for the atomic layer deposition (ALD) of metal fluorides. In this work, the reaction mechanisms underlying the ALD of fluorides using a fluorine-containing plasma are investigated, considering aluminum fluoride (AlF) ALD from Al(CH) and an SF plasma as a model system.

Zbigniew Raszewski Danuta Nowakowska Wlodzimierz Wieckiewicz Agnieszka Nowakowska-Toporowska

Polymers (Basel) 2021 Mar 27;13(7). Epub 2021 Mar 27.

Department of Prosthodontics, Wroclaw Medical University, 50-425 Wroclaw, Poland.

Background: Oral hygiene is essential for maintaining residual dentition of partial denture wearers. The dental material should positively affect the oral environment. Fluoride-releasing dental materials help to inhibit microbial colonization and formation of plaque as well as to initiate the remineralization process in the early cavity area. Read More

Professor, Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia, School of Stomatology, Department of Dentistry for Children and Adolescents,Lima, Peru.

Background: There are several brands of fluoride varnishes in the market, but the dynamics of fluoride release from each one might be different. The purpose of this study was to evaluate in vitro the release of fluorides by fluoride varnishes and to determine the correlation with viscosity and wettability.

Material And Methods: Forty four enamel blocks 5x5 mm were randomly divided into 4 groups (n=11) ((Duraphat®, Clinpro™ White Varnish, Flúor Protector® and control). Read More
