AI Article Synopsis

  • The study analyzed the elemental ions absorbed into the salivary coating of S-PRG resin blocks and how it affected the adherence of specific bacteria, Streptococcus sanguinis and Streptococcus mutans.
  • It found that the saliva-coated S-PRG resin blocks had higher levels of absorbed elements like boron, aluminum, silicon, strontium, and fluoride compared to unfilled resin.
  • Notably, the salivary coating on the S-PRG resin significantly reduced the adherence of S. mutans, while there was no significant change in adherence for S. sanguinis between the two types of resin.

Article Abstract

This in vitro study performed elemental analysis of the ions absorbed into the salivary coat covering the surfaces of S-PRG resin blocks and assessed the adherence of Streptococcus sanguinis and Streptococcus mutans to these saliva-coated S-PRG resin blocks. Elemental analysis of ions absorbed into the salivary coat of resin blocks exposed to the saliva was performed using an inductive coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometer and the fluoride electrode method. Quantitative adherence of radio-labeled test bacteria to the resin blocks was determined. As the results, the saliva-coated S-PRG resin showed significantly greater amounts of absorbed B, Al, Si, Sr, and F than the saliva-coated unfilled resin. It was of particular significance that the salivary coating of the S-PRG resin reduced the adherence of S. mutans to this resin. However, in the case of S. sanguinis, no significant difference in adherence could be recognized between saliva-coated S-PRG resin and saliva-coated unfilled resin.

This study investigated the effects of resin composites (RCs) containing surface pre-reacted glass ionomer (S-PRG) filler on the dentin microtensile bond strength (μTBS) of HEMA-free and HEMA-containing universal adhesives (UAs). Water sorption (WS) and solubility (SL), degree of conversion (DC), and ion release were measured. The UAs BeautiBond Xtreme (BBX; 0% HEMA), Modified Adhesive-1 (E-BBX1; 5% HEMA), Modified Adhesive-2 (E-BBX2; 10% HEMA), and two 2-step self-etch adhesives (2-SEAs): FL-BOND II (FBII; with S-PRG filler) and silica-containing adhesive (E-FBII) were used.

This study aimed to evaluate ionic release, flexural strength and water absorption of UDMA resins containing 0-30 wt% surface pre-reacted glass-ionomer (S-PRG) filler fabricated by a DLP 3D printer. Release of Al, B, Na, Sr and F ions were measured by inductively coupled plasma (ICP) and an ion meter. Flexural strength test and water absorption measurements were performed according to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 4049 standard and ISO 1567 standard, respectively.

Objective: The emergence of new resin composites (RCs) incorporating bioactive ingredients and/or used as bulk-fill materials aims to enhance restorative potential beyond just the mechanical properties. However, this innovation may affect their performance under clinically simulated conditions, such as erosive challenges (EC). This study evaluated the impact of different technologies on the hygroscopic properties of RCs.

The treatment of damaged enamel surfaces involves modification of the enamel surface with artificial materials or the development of a pseudo-enamel, with research focusing on bioactive and biomimetic materials. In this study, a bioactive auto-polymerizing resin (APR) was developed by adding surface-pre-reacted glass ionomer (S-PRG) fillers of different quantities to APR. Its bioactive effects were evaluated via pH neutralization, ion release, and inhibition of enamel demineralization studies.

Objective: Self-etching dental adhesives bond with dentin through chemical reactions with calcium. This study assessed bond strength (BS) using microtensile (µTBS) and microshear (µSBS) tests on sound and post-radiotherapy dentin, with dental adhesives containing different functional monomers.

Methods: Sound dentin (SD) and post-radiotherapy irradiated dentin (ID) were tested with two adhesive systems: Clearfil SE Bond (SE, 10-MDP-based) and FL Bond II (FL, containing carboxylic and phosphonic monomers with S-PRG bioactive particles).
