Purpose: To study the effect of Streptococcus sanguis on corrosion resistance of magnetic retainers in which are encapsulated with stainless steel artificial saliva.
Methods: A magnetic retainer was put in one culture flask,which was filled with artificial saliva.Ten of them were added Streptococcus sanguis suspension,the others were added PBS as control.The culture flasks were cultivated in incubator(36 degrees centigrade). 5 ml suspension was dislodged from each flask at the 3rd, 10th and 20th day. The quantity of Fe(3+) and Mn(2+) was detected.Statistical analysis of paired t test was performed with SPSS10.0 software package.
Results: When Streptococcus sanguis existed, the quantity of Fe(3+) and Mn(2+) was significantly higher than that in the control (P<0.01).
Conclusion: The existence of Streptococcus sanguis destroys the corrosion resistance of magnetic retainers remarkably.

Background And Aim: Streptococci, mainly mutans streptococci, are known as the causative microbes of dental caries, but there is limited clarity about their impact on the tooth level and the distribution of streptococci species in different dentition stages. This study evaluates the distribution of streptococci species in primary and permanent teeth in children and adolescents with caries.
Materials And Methods: The study population consisted of two groups: subjects with caries in primary teeth aged 2-5 years and adolescents with caries in permanent teeth aged 12-15 years.

Mucins are key components of innate immune defense and possess remarkable abilities to manage pathogenic microbes while supporting beneficial ones and maintaining microbial homeostasis at mucosal surfaces. Their unique properties have garnered significant interest in developing mucin-inspired materials as novel therapeutic strategies for selectively controlling pathogens without disrupting the overall microbial ecology. However, natural mucin production is challenging to scale, driving the need for simpler materials that reproduce mucin's bioactivity.

Physicochemical modifications of biomaterials have been proposed to overcome bone integration impairment and microbial infections. The magnesium (Mg) incorporation on dental implant surfaces has shown positive results in bone-to-implant contact and in the reduction of microbial colonization. Here, we explored the potential of using different Mg precursors to synthesize coatings via plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) on commercially pure titanium (cpTi), aiming to optimize the surface and biological properties.

Article Synopsis
- Peri-implantitis is a disease linked to plaque that can cause the loss of dental implants, with smoking worsening the condition and treatment outcomes.
- The study focused on how nicotine affects inflammation and the growth of bacteria that contribute to peri-implantitis by examining specific markers (AHR, IL-6, IL-22) and through experiments with bacterial suspensions treated with varying nicotine concentrations.
- Results showed that nicotine not only increases the levels of inflammatory markers but also enhances bacterial growth and biofilm formation, indicating that smoking may worsen peri-implantitis progression.

Introduction: Orthodontic clear aligners and retainers have numerous advantages that is making them ever increasingly popular. However, they might, similar to any other oral appliance, contribute to biofilm formation and finally dental caries or white spot lesions or gingival inflammations. The literature on biofilm formation on orthodontic clear appliances is very scarce and limited to a few microorganisms and materials.
