Application of organoselenium in inhibiting Candida albicans biofilm adhesion on 3D printed denture base material.

Denture Stomatitis, a chronic mucosal inflammation associated with Candida albicans, is common among denture wearers. Several health conditions have been linked to chronic Candida infections. The complex, multifactorial nature of denture stomatitis requires the continuous pursuit of effective long-term solutions. The present in vitro study investigated the effect of incorporating organoselenium into 3D-printed denture base resin on C. albicans adhesion and biofilm formation. Thirty disks were fabricated using 3D-printed denture base resin and assigned to three experimental groups (10/group): disks without organoselenium (control), disks with 0.5% organoselenium (0.5%SE), and disks with 1% organoselenium (1%SE). Each disk was incubated with approximately 1 × 106 cells/mL of C. albicans for 48 h. Microbial viability (CFU/mL) was quantified by the spread plate method, while Confocal laser scanning microscopy and scanning electron microscope were performed for quantifying the biofilm thickness and examining biofilm morphology, respectively. Data were analyzed using One-way ANOVA with Tukey's multiple comparisons test. CFU/mL was significantly (p<0.05) higher in Control when compared with 0.5%SE and 1%SE, but no significant difference between 0.5%SE and 1%SE. A similar trend was observed with biofilm thickness except that there was no significant difference between the Control and 0.5%SE. There was C. albicans biofilm adhesion on the Control disks, with yeast cells and hyphae formation, whereas on 0.5%SE and 1%SE, there was inhibition of yeast cells transition to hyphae formation. Incorporation of organoselenium into 3D-printed denture base resin was effective in reducing C. albicans biofilm formation and growth on denture base material.

Data was analyzed by using descriptive statistical tools in SPSS-16 and results were presented in form of tables.Results: The mean age of 140 patients was 71.39±5.80 years. There were 81 (57.9%) females and 59 (42.1) males. About 27 (19.3%) denture wearers did not remove dentures from their mouth at night. Among total, 81 (57.9%) of participants brushed their dentures with water. Denture Cleanliness Index scores of 2 was observed in 64 (45.8%) of denture wearers. Conclusions: It can be concluded that majority of participants had uncleaned dentures suggesting the need ofproper denture hygiene instructions and routinely follow-up for the cleanliness of dentures and their overall intraoral health status whether or not there were denture stomatitis.

Anti-multispecies microbial biofilms and anti-inflammatory effects of antimicrobial photo-sonodynamic therapy based on acrylic resin containing nano-resveratrol

BackgroundPolymethylmethacrylate (PMMA)-based removable orthodontic appliances are susceptible to microbial colonization due to the surface porosity, and accumulating the biofilms causes denture stomatitis. the present study evaluated the anti-biofilm and antiinflammatory effects of antimicrobial photo-sonodynamic therapy (aPSDT) against multispecies microbial biofilms (Candida albicans, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus sobrinus, and Actinomyces naeslundii) formed on acrylic resin modified with nanoresveratrol (NR). Materials and methodsFollowing the determination of the minimum biofilm inhibitory concentration (MBIC) of NR, in vitro anti-biofilm activity of NR was evaluated. The antibiofilm efficacy against multispecies microbial biofilm including C. albicans, S. aureus, S. sobrinus, and A. naeslundii, were assessed by biofilm inhibition test and the results were measured. To reveal the anti-inflammatory effects of aPSDT on human gingival fibroblast (HGF) cells, the gene expression levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were evaluated via quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). ResultsAccording to the results, the MBIC dose of NR against multispecies microbial biofilm was considered 512 µg/mL. The highest biofilm reduction activity was observed in MBIC treated with aPSDT and 2 × MBIC exposed to light emitting diode (LED) and ultrasound waves (UW). The expression level of TNF-α and IL-6 genes were significantly increased when HGF cells were exposed to multispecies microbial biofilms (P<0.05), while after treatment with aPSDT, the expression levels of genes were significantly downregulated in all groups (P<0.05). ConclusionOverall, NR-mediated aPSDT reduced the growth of the multispecies microbial biofilm and downregulated the expression of TNF-α and IL-6 genes. Therefore, modified PMMA with NR can be serving as a promising new orthodontic acrylic resin against multispecies microbial biofilms and the effect of this new material is amplified when exposed to LED and UW.

Could Helium Plasma Treatment be a Novel Approach to Prevent the Biofilm Formation of Candida albicans?

There is no definitive method to prevent Candida albicans (C. albicans) biofilm formation on polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) surfaces. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of Helium plasma treatment (before the application of removable dentures to the patient) to prevent or reduce C. albicans ATCC 10,231 the anti-adherent activity, viability, and biofilm formation on PMMA surfaces. One hundred disc-shaped PMMA samples (2mm × 10mm) were prepared. The samples were randomly divided into 5 surface groups and treated with different concentrations of Helium plasma: G I: Control group (untreated), G II: 80% Helium plasma-treated group, G III: 85% Helium plasma-treated group, G IV: 90% Helium plasma-treated group, G V: 100% Helium plasma-treated group. C. albicans viability and biofilm formations were evaluated using 2 methods: MTT (3-(4,5-dimethyl thiazolyl-2)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assays and Crystal Violet (CV) staining. The surface morphology and C. albicans biofilm images were observed with scanning electron microscopy. The Helium plasma-treated PMMA groups (G II, G III, G IV, G V) observed a significant reduction in C. albicans cell viability and biofilm formation compared with the control group. Treating PMMA surfaces with different concentrations of Helium plasma prevents C. albicans viability and biofilm formation. This study suggests that Helium plasma treatment might be an effective strategy in modifying PMMA surfaces to prevent denture stomatitis formation.

Understanding the Mechanical, Surface, and Color Behavior of Oral Bioactive Prosthetic Polymers under Biodegradation Processes.

Changes in the properties of resin-based polymers exposed to the oral environment can emerge when chlorhexidine (CHX) is incorporated to develop bioactive systems for treating denture stomatitis. Three reline resins loaded with CHX were prepared: 2.5 wt% in Kooliner (K), 5 wt% in Ufi Gel Hard (UFI), and Probase Cold (PC). A total of 60 specimens were submitted to physical aging (1000 cycles of thermal fluctuations, 5-55 °C) or chemical aging (28 days of pH fluctuations in artificial saliva, 6 h at pH = 3, 18 h at pH = 7). Knoop microhardness (30 s, 98 mN), 3-point flexural strength (5 mm/min), and surface energy were tested. Color changes (ΔE) were determined using the CIELab system. Data were submitted to non-parametric tests (α = 0.05). After aging, bioactive K and UFI specimens were not different from the controls (resins without CHX) in mechanical and surface properties. Thermally aged CHX-loaded PC specimens showed decreased microhardness and flexural strength but not under adequate levels for function. The color change was observed in all CHX-loaded specimens that underwent chemical aging. The long-term use of CHX bioactive systems based on reline resins generally does not impair removable dentures' proper mechanical and aesthetic functions.

Losartan Plays a Fungistatic and Fungicidal Activity Against Candida albicans Biofilms: Drug Repurposing for Localized Candidosis.

Candidosis is one of the most frequent opportunistic infections and exhibits variable clinical presentations, including oral localized forms. Drugs affecting the renin-angiotensin system targets inhibit secreted aspartic proteases from Candida albicans. The objective of the study was to evaluate whether losartan has antimicrobial action against C. albicans biofilms. Biofilms were treated with losartan or aliskiren (for comparison) for 24 h. Metabolic activity of viable cells and growth inhibition of C. albicans biofilms were assessed using XTT [2,3-Bis(2-Methoxy-4-Nitro-5-Sulfophenyl)-5-[(Phenyl-Amino)Carbonyl]-2H-Tetrazolium Hydroxide] and colony-forming unit assays, respectively. In addition, the cytotoxicity of the drugs on human cells was evaluated using the AlamarBlue assay. Both drugs decreased fungal viability at all concentrations. In addition, all concentrations of losartan inhibited the growth of C. albicans biofilm, ranging from 47% to 88.5%, whereas aliskiren showed inhibition from 1 to 10 mg/mL, which ranged from 16% to 97.6%. Furthermore, at certain concentrations, these drugs maintained the viability of human cells. Losartan and aliskiren have fungistatic and fungicidal action against C. albicans biofilms and are compatible with human cells. Therefore, these antihypertensive drugs can be repurposed to interfere with the metabolism and development of Candida biofilms, which are widely associated with clinical forms of candidosis, including oral localized forms such as denture stomatitis.

Efficacy of adjunct photodynamic therapy on Candida growth and oral health quality of life in denture stomatitis patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus wearing implant-retained overdentures: A randomized clinical study

AimThe aim of the present clinical trial was to study the efficacy of combined miconazole and PDT in the improvement of quality of life and levels of Candida species in chronic hyperglycemic patients with denture stomatitis (DS). MethodsOne hundred patients were randomly divided into five groups; 20 each in the miconazole, PDT, miconazole+ PDT, CHX and distilled water groups. Methylene blue mediated irradiation was conducted using 600 nm diode laser with power, energy density and radiance as 100 mW, 3527 mW/cm2 and 9 J, respectively. Patients were advised to apply 2.5 ml of 2% topical miconazole four times a day. The existence of Candida spp. was detected by means of microbiological culture technique. Candida colony counts from the palates and dentures surfaces, quantified as colony forming unit (CFU)/mL were evaluated at baseline, end of 14 days, 28 days and 60 days. Oral health related quality of life was assessed with the help of a questionnaire. ResultsThe quality of life showed significant improvement in the group where combination treatment was executed. The overall CFU/mL values were greater in the dentures in comparison to those from the palates of the patients of all the five groups. During all time periods of the study, the CFU/mL values obtained from combination treatment group showed significant differences. Candida albicans was the most predominant yeast. ConclusionThis study showed the effectiveness of methylene blue- PDT in combination with miconazole in improving oral health related quality of life and significantly reducing Candida CFU counts to resolve palatal inflammation in diabetic individuals with implant-supported complete dentures.

Effectiveness of Aspergillus sp. extract in denture adhesive on surface roughness of acrylic resin on Candida albicans biofilm formation

The denture adhesive increases retention on the denture base and affects oral microorganisms. Adding antifungals to denture adhesives can inhibit the Candida albicans biofilms formation and prevent denture stomatitis. The combination of denture adhesives and herbal medicines is an alternative to antifungals, which have few side effects because it is a plant. Moreover, one of them is the endophytic Aspergillus sp. extract containing chemical compounds that can inhibit the Candida albicans biofilms formation. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the endophytic Aspergillus sp. extract in denture adhesive materials for Candida albicans biofilm formation on acrylic resin surfaces. The research method is to extract the Aspergillus sp. extract antibiofilm test. Denture adhesive formulation was adjusted to the standard, and added Aspergillus sp. with concentrations of 3.125%, 6.25%, 12%, and 25%. The research sample used hot polymerized acrylic resin. The control group used X denture adhesive and added nystatin, each group suspended by Candida albicans for 24, 48, and 72 hours. Examination of biofilm formation activity on the surface of acrylic resin used SEM. The analysis used Two Way Anova. Aspergillus sp. extract in denture adhesive effectively prevents Candida albicans biofilm formation within 24 hour incubation time. In conclusion, extract of the endophytic Aspergillus sp. in denture adhesive can inhibit the formation of Candida albicans biofilm on the surface roughness of acrylic resin.

Appraisal and characterization of candida load isolated from the oral cavity of smokers

Cigarette smoking is regarded as a major global health risk, therefore the aim of this work was to investigate the association of oral Candida spp. as one of the etiological agents of denture stomatitis with smokers of cigarette, hookah (shisha), and electronic smoking, also a dose–response relationship between the duration of smoking and the probability of denture stomatitis between volunteers. Oral rinse samples were collected from 47 male volunteers including 34 smokers and 13 non-smokers, also data of volunteers were collected via a questionnaire forum. Patterns of smoking were shown that smokers using tobacco cigarettes 17 (36.2 %), electronic cigarettes 16 (34.04 %), and hookah smokers 8 (17.02 %). A comparison of smokers and non-smokers regarding effects on oral health showed significantly finding (P < 0.05) indicating that smoking affects oral health in all evaluated parameters (an oral mucosal abnormality, mouth ulcers, bad breath, and feeling of dry mouth). Out of 19Candidaisolates, 18 (94.7 %) were identified asCandida albicansand 1 (5.3 %) asCandida tropicalis. Among the volunteers who presented with oralCandida(19 volunteers), 17 (89.5%) were smokers, while non-smoker volunteers were 2 (10.5 %), so it can be concluded that smoking was a significant positive correlation to the presence ofCandidain the oral cavity. Five volunteers suffered from chronic diseases; 4 (8.5%) diabetes mellitus and 1 (2.1%) anemia as a systemic predisposing factor for oropharyngeal infection.Amphotericin and Nystatin had varying degrees of activity against isolatedCandidaisolates.

Multiple-Ion Releasing Bioactive Surface Pre-Reacted Glass-Ionomer (S-PRG) Filler: Innovative Technology for Dental Treatment and Care

Surface Pre-Reacted Glass-ionomer (S-PRG) filler, which releases strontium (Sr2+), borate (BO33-), fluoride (F-), sodium (Na+), silicate (SiO32-), and aluminum (Al3+) ions at high concentrations, is a unique glass filler that are utilized in dentistry. Because of its multiple-ion releasing characteristics, S-PRG filler exhibits several bioactivities such as tooth strengthening, acid neutralization, promotion of mineralization, inhibition of bacteria and fungi, inhibition of matrix metalloproteinases, and enhancement of cell activity. Therefore, S-PRG filler per se and S-PRG filler-containing materials have the potential to be beneficial for various dental treatments and care. Those include restorative treatment, caries prevention/management, vital pulp therapy, endodontic treatment, prevention/treatment of periodontal disease, prevention of denture stomatitis, and perforation repair/root end filling. This review summarizes bioactive functions exhibited by S-PRG filler and its possible contribution to oral health.

Denture stomatitis-An interdisciplinary clinical review.

An interdisciplinary clinical review on denture stomatitis formulated by experts from prosthodontics, oral medicine, and oral microbiology is presented. The review outlines the etiopathogenesis, clinical features, and management strategies of denture stomatitis from an interdisciplinary perspective. English-language articles relating to the definition, incidence, gender distribution, geographical distribution, etiology, pathogenesis, symptoms, signs, treatment, and prognosis of denture stomatitis were retrieved via electronic literature search. Relevant articles were summarized for this manuscript with a view toward providing pragmatic information. Denture stomatitis represents a very common, multifactorial infectious, inflammatory, and hyperplastic condition which is primarily caused by poor oral hygiene, poor denture hygiene, and full-time; mainly night-time denture wear, bringing about the emergence of advanced Candida-containing polymicrobial biofilms in close proximity to the host's mucosal tissues. Denture stomatitis shares clinically relevant associations with dental caries, periodontitis, median rhomboid glossitis, angular cheilitis, aspirational pneumonia, and associated mortality. Effective, long-term treatment of denture stomatitis relies upon sustained patient-driven behavioral change which should focus on daily prosthesis-level cleaning and disinfection, removal of dentures at night, every night, engagement with professional denture maintenance, and when required, denture replacement. Antifungal medications offer limited benefits outside of short-term use due to the emergence of antifungal resistance. For frail, older, medically compromised, and nursing home populations, treatment of denture stomatitis lowers the risk of aspirational pneumonia and associated mortality.

Influence of Fabrication Technique on Adhesion and Biofilm Formation of Candida albicans to Conventional, Milled, and 3D-Printed Denture Base Resin Materials: A Comparative In Vitro Study.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the adhesion and biofilm formation of Candida albicans (C. albicans) on conventionally fabricated, milled, and 3D-printed denture base resin materials in order to determine the susceptibility of denture contamination during clinical use. Specimens were incubated with C. albicans (ATCC 10231) for 1 and 24 h. Adhesion and biofilm formation of C. albicans were assessed using the field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). The XTT (2,3-(2-methoxy-4-nitro-5-sulphophenyl)-5-[(phenylamino) carbonyl]-2H-tetrazolium hydroxide) assay was used for the quantification of fungal adhesion and biofilm formation. The data were analyzed using GraphPad Prism 8.02 for windows. One-way ANOVA with Tukey's post hoc testing were performed with a statistical significance level set at α = 0.05. The quantitative XTT biofilm assay revealed significant differences in the biofilm formation of C. albicans between the three groups in the 24 h incubation period. The highest proportion of biofilm formation was observed in the 3D-printed group, followed by the conventional group, while the lowest candida biofilm formation was observed in the milled group. The difference in biofilm formation among the three tested dentures was statistically significant (p < 0.001). The manufacturing technique has an influence on the surface topography and microbiological properties of the fabricated denture base resin material. Additive 3D-printing technology results in increased candida adhesion and the roughest surface topography of maxillary resin denture base as compared to conventional flask compression and CAD/CAM milling techniques. In a clinical setting, patients wearing additively manufactured maxillary complete dentures are thus more susceptible to the development of candida-associated denture stomatitis and accordingly, strict oral hygiene measures and maintenance programs should be emphasized to patients.
