Objectives: Surface pre-reacted glass-ionomer (S-PRG) nanofiller, an antibacterial ion-releasing bioactive glass, has been shown to adhere to tooth surfaces and reported to improve inflammatory parameters in experimental periodontitis. In this study, cementum substrate was irrigated ultrasonically with dispersion to examine in-vitro nanofiller adhesion and antibacterial activity. Moreover, periodontal pockets in a beagle dog were ultrasonically irrigated with dispersion to assess periodontal healing.
Methods: The morphology of human cementum irrigated with S-PRG nanofiller dispersion was examined by scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry. The antibacterial activity of the treated cementum was tested using Actinomyces naeslundii. In addition, experimentally formed periodontal pockets in beagle dog were ultrasonically irrigated with S-PRG nanofiller dispersion. Periodontal parameters (gingival index, bleeding on probing, probing pocket depth, and clinical attachment level) were measured from baseline (0 weeks) through 12 weeks. Moreover, the effects of irrigation with S-PRG nanofiller on changes in periodontal microflora and bone healing were analyzed.
Results: After ultrasonic irrigation, S-PRG nanofiller adhered to the cementum and exhibited antibacterial activity. The periodontal parameters were shown to improve following ultrasonic irrigation with S-PRG nanofiller dispersion. Analysis by next-generation sequencing revealed that the ratio of red-complex species decreased in the pockets irrigated with S-PRG nanofiller dispersion. In addition, the S-PRG nanofiller showed the potential to promote bone healing.
Conclusions: Ultrasonic irrigation with S-PRG nanofiller dispersion using an ultrasonic scaler system permitted delivery of the S-PRG nanofiller to the root surface, providing improved parameters in experimental periodontitis and modifying the composition of subgingival periodontal microflora.

Resin composites containing surface pre-reacted glass (S-PRG) have been introduced to reduce demineralization and improve remineralization of the tooth structure. However, water diffusion within the material is necessary for its action, which can impair its overall physicomechanical properties over time, including color stability. This study aimed to evaluate the color stability and related degree of conversion (DC) of four resin composites.

Objective: Dentures should have proper fluoride release and physical properties. We evaluated how surface prereacted glass ionomer (S-PRG) nanofillers influenced fluoride release, flexural strength, and surface characteristics of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) resin.
Materials And Methods: PMMA resin disc (n = 14) and rectangular (n = 5) specimens containing 0, 20 wt% microparticles, and 20 wt% nanoparticles of S-PRG were prepared.

Objectives: Surface pre-reacted glass-ionomer (S-PRG) fillers release antibacterial borate and fluoride ions. We fabricated nanoscale S-PRG fillers (S-PRG nanofillers) for antibacterial coating of tooth surfaces and assessed the antibacterial effects of this coating in vitro. In addition, we creating a canine model of periodontitis to evaluate the effectiveness of S-PRG nanofiller application on tooth roots and improvement of periodontal parameters.
