Introduction: The aims of this study were to evaluate the effect of an antibacterial monomer-containing self-etching adhesive in reducing enamel demineralization around orthodontic brackets in vivo and to compare it with the conventional adhesive system quantitatively.
Methods: Fourteen orthodontic patients were randomly divided into 2 equal groups; they received brackets fitted to all their teeth, bonded with either Clearfil Protect Bond (Kuraray Medical, Okayama, Japan) (experimental group) or Transbond XT (3M Unitek, Monrovia, Calif) (control group). Block randomization to obtain equal numbers in each group was used. After 30 days, all first premolars were extracted with orthodontic indications and longitudinally sectioned. Demineralization was assessed by cross-sectional microhardness. Determinations were made at the bracket edge cementing limits and at occlusal and cervical points 100 and 200 μm away from the edge. In all of these positions, 6 indentations were made at depths of 10 to 90 μm from the enamel surface. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and the Tukey post-hoc test were used. The statistical significance level was set at P <0.05.
Results: ANOVA showed statistically significant differences for adhesive type, position, depth, and their interactions (P <0.05). The multiple comparison test showed that the antibacterial monomer-containing adhesive was significantly more efficient than the conventional adhesive system, reducing enamel demineralization in almost all evaluations (P <0.05).
Conclusions: The results indicated that using antibacterial monomer-containing adhesive for bonding orthodontic brackets successfully inhibited caries in vivo. This cariostatic effect was localized at the area around the brackets and was significant after 30 days.

Wound management is a major challenge worldwide, placing a huge financial burden on the government of every nation. Wound dressings that can protect wounds, accelerate healing, prevent infection, and avoid secondary damage continue to be a major focus of research in the health care and clinical communities. Herein, a novel zwitterionic polymer (LST) hydrogel incorporated with [2-(methacryloyloxy) ethyl] dimethyl-(3-sulfopropyl) ammonium hydroxide (SBMA), mussel-inspired -[tris(hydroxymethyl)methyl] acrylamide (THMA), and lithium magnesium salt was prepared for functional wound dressings.

An effective and practical antibacterial strategy is to design multifunctional and stimuli-responsive materials that exhibit antibacterial activity in response to bacterial triggers. In this study, because the metabolism of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) can acidify the surrounding environment and pH level can affect the lower critical solution temperature of temperature/pH dual-sensitive polymers, a monomer containing a temperature-sensitive N-isopropyl amide derivative and pH-sensitive tertiary amine groups is first synthesized.

Objectives: To evaluate the properties of novel hydrolytic resistant antibacterial monomers and to determine the properties of resin adhesives containing these monomers.
Methods: Methacrylamide-based QAC (Quaternary Ammonium Compound) monomers, 1-(11-Methacryla-midoundecyl)pyridine-1-ium bromide (MAUPB) and 1-(12-Methacryl-amidododecyl)pyridine-1-ium bromide (MADPB), and their methacrylate-derivatives, N-(1-Methacryloylundecanyl)pyridinium bromide (MUPB) and N-(1-Methacryloyldodecanyl)pyridinium bromide (MDPB), were synthesized and characterized. The minimum inhibitory (MIC) and bactericidal (MBC) concentrations were determined against S.

With the trend of sustainable development and the complex medical environment, there is a strong demand for multimodal antibacterial cellulose wound dressing (MACD) with photothermal therapy (PTT). Herein, a novel MACD fabrication strategy with PTT was proposed and implemented through graft polymerization of an imidazolium ionic liquid monomer containing iron complex anion structure. The fabricated hydrogels exhibited excellent antibacterial properties because of the efficient photothermal conversion ability (68.

The development of organic polymer materials for disinfection and sterilization is thought of as one of the most promising avenues to solve the growth and spread of harmful microorganisms. Here, a series of linear polyisocyanide quaternary ammonium salts (L-PQASs) with different structures and chain lengths were designed and synthesized by polymerization of phenyl isocyanide monomer containing a 4-chloro-1-butyl side chain followed by quaternary amination salinization. The resultant compounds were characterized by H NMR and FT-IR.
