Objective: Dentin remineralization at the bonded interface would protect it from external risk factors, therefore, would enhance the longevity of restoration and combat secondary caries. Dental biofilm, as one of the critical biological factors in caries formation, should not be neglected in the assessment of caries preventive agents. In this work, the remineralization effectiveness of demineralized human dentin in a multi-species dental biofilm environment via an adhesive containing nanoparticles of amorphous calcium phosphate (NACP) and dimethylaminohexadecyl methacrylate (DMAHDM) was investigated.
Methods: Dentin demineralization was promoted by subjecting samples to a three-species acidic biofilm containing Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus sanguinis, Streptococcus gordonii for 24h. Samples were divided into a control group, a DMAHDM adhesive group, an NACP group, and an NACP+DMAHDM adhesive group. A bonded model containing a control-bonded group, a DMAHDM-bonded group, an NACP-bonded group, and an NACP+DMAHDM-bonded group was also included in this study. All samples were subjected to a remineralization protocol consisting of 4-h exposure per 24-h period in brain heart infusion broth plus 1% sucrose (BHIS) followed by immersion in artificial saliva for the remaining period. The pH of BHIS after 4-h immersion was measured every other day. After 14 days, the biofilm was assessed for colony-forming unit (CFU) count, lactic acid production, live/dead staining, and calcium and phosphate content. The mineral changes in the demineralized dentin samples were analyzed by transverse microradiography.
Results: The in vitro experiment results showed that the NACP+DMAHDM adhesive effectively achieved acid neutralization, decreased biofilm colony-forming unit (CFU) count, decreased biofilm lactic acid production, and increased biofilm calcium and phosphate content. The NACP+DMAHDM adhesive group had higher remineralization value than the NACP or DMAHDM alone adhesive group.
Significance: The NACP+DMAHDM adhesive was effective in remineralizing dentin lesion in a biofilm model. It is promising to use NACP+DMAHDM adhesive to protect bonded interface, inhibit secondary caries, and prolong the longevity of restoration.

Objective: The cariogenic biofilm on enamel, restoration, and bonding interface is closely related to dental caries and composite restoration failure. Enamel remineralization at adhesive interface is conducive to protecting bonding interface and inhibiting secondary caries. This study intended to assess the remineralization efficiency of adhesive with dimethylaminohexadecyl methacrylate (DMAHDM) and nanoparticles of amorphous calcium phosphate (NACP) on initial caries lesion of biofilm-coated enamel.

Objectives: The objectives of this study were to: (1) develop a multifunctional adhesive via dimethylaminohexadecyl methacrylate (DMAHDM) and nanoparticles of amorphous calcium phosphate (NACP); and (2) investigate its ability to provide metalloproteinases (MMPs) deactivation and remineralization for long-term dentin bonding durability.
Methods: DMAHDM and NACP were incorporated into Adper™ Single Bond 2 Adhesive (SB2) at mass fractions of 5% and 20%, respectively. Degree of conversion and contact angle were measured.

Objective: The bonding interface of dental filling therapy is the weak point in resisting secondary caries. Adhesives containing nanoparticles of amorphous calcium phosphate (NACP) and dimethylaminohexadecyl methacrylate (DMAHDM) have been demonstrated in vitro to prevent bacteria from producing acid and to promote tooth remineralization. The present study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of adhesive with NACP and DMAHDM to prevent secondary caries in vivo.

Objectives: This study aimed to develop an antibacterial and calcium (Ca) and phosphate (P) rechargeable adhesive and investigate the effects of dimethylaminododecyl methacrylate (DMAHDM) and nanoparticles of amorphous calcium phosphate (NACP) on dentin bonding, biofilm response, and repeated Ca and P ion recharge and re-release capability for the first time.
Materials And Methods: Pyromellitic glycerol dimethacrylate (PMGDM), ethoxylated bisphenol A dimethacrylate (EBPADMA), 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA), and bisphenol A glycidyl dimethacrylate (BisGMA) formed the adhesive (PEHB). Three groups were tested: (1) Scotchbond (SBMP, 3 M) control, (2) PEHB + 30% NACP, and (3) PEHB + 30% NACP + 5% DMAHDM.
