Objectives: This in vivo study compared the antibacterial effect of a self-etch adhesive with and without the brominated monomer 12-methacryloyloxydodecyl-pyridinium bromide (MDPB) on carious dentin after selective caries removal.

Methods: 10 patients showing deep primary carious lesions at two posterior teeth without pulpal symptoms were included. At visit I, carious tissue was selectively removed and carious dentin was sampled with a sterile roundbur (Komet No. 18). One cavity was restored with composite (SDR, Ceram X; DENTSPLY DeTrey) using an MDPB-containing self-etch adhesive (Clearfil Protect Bond, Kuraray Noritake; PB). The other restoration served as a control (Clearfil SE Bond II, Kuraray Noritake; SE). At visit II after 8 weeks, carious dentin was sampled again. Bacterial growth in carious dentin was differentiated using microbial cultivation. Bacterial DNA from intact cells and cell-free DNA were quantified using 16S rRNA gene-based real-time PCR and the microbial community composition was analyzed by amplicon deep-sequencing. Wilcoxon test was applied for statistical analysis.

Results: Both treatments showed a decrease of intact bacterial cells in carious dentin at visit II compared to visit I (PB: visit I: 1.1*10, visit II: 1.7*10 (p = 0.03); SE: visit I: 1.1*10, visit II = 2.4*10 (p = 0.002)). No statistically significant reduction of cell-free bacterial DNA was detected (PB: visit I: 6.1*10, visit II: 1.6*10 (p = 0.08); SE: visit I: 5.3*10, visit II: 2.9*10 (p = 0.10)). The decrease of intact cell-derived (p = 0.371) and cell-free DNA (p = 0.455) did not differ significantly between PB and SE. Lactobacillus was most abundant within the microbial community at both visits. Alpha-diversity was not affected by treatment and samples showed high intra- and interindividual diversity.

Conclusion And Clinical Significance: Both self-etch adhesives have an antibacterial effect due to a decrease of bacterial DNA after selective caries removal. However, the results do not reveal any additional antibacterial effect by MDPB. The study is registered with the German Clinical Trials Register (DRKS00011532).

Background: To investigate the antibiofilm effect and mechanism of the silver nanowire (AgNW)-modified glass ionomer cement (GIC) against multi-species oral biofilm, and to examine the mechanical and biochemical properties of this novel GIC material.

Methods: Conventional GIC was incorporated with different concentrations of AgNW and silver nanoparticles (AgNP). Multi-species biofilms of Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus sobrinus, Lactobacillus fermentum, and Lactobacillus rhamnosus were cultured for 72 h on GIC specimens.

Objective: This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of semi-annual application of 38% silver diamine fluoride (SDF) with and without light curing in arresting dentine caries in primary teeth.

Methods: Children aged 5-7 years with at least 1 active dentine carious lesion were randomly allocated into: Group 1 (38% SDF with light curing: applied SDF for 10 seconds and exposed to LED light for 20 seconds) and Group 2 (38% SDF without light curing: applied SDF for 10 seconds and isolated for 20 seconds). Both interventions were repeated every 6 months.

The morbidity of oral disorders, including gingivitis, caries, endodontic-periodontal diseases, and oral cancer, is relatively high globally. Pathogenic cells are the root cause of many oral disorders, and oral therapies depend on eradicating them. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been established as a potential and non-invasive local adjuvant treatment for oral disorders.

Preserving pulp vitality in developing permanent teeth is paramount. This approach facilitates continued root formation, ultimately leading to apical closure, enhanced root strength, and improved overall tooth integrity. This case report details the management of a 17-year-old female patient presenting with dental caries on the right permanent maxillary molar.
