Evaluation of the effects of fluoride-releasing varnish on dentin demineralization using optical coherence tomography

Effects of a fluoride-releasing varnish containing surface reaction-type prereacted glass ionomer (S-PRG) filler on dentin demineralization were examined using optical coherence tomography. Bovine incisors that were sliced and treated with undersaturated 0.1 M lactic acid buffer solution (DE group). A thin film of varnish-containing S-PRG filler was applied before demineralization (PRG group). Control was maintained in artificial saliva. Using optical coherence tomography of selected locations on the dentin surface, peak intensity (dB) and width (μm) at 1/e(2) were obtained and integrated values calculated. Although alterations in integrated values were different in each group, there was a slight but not significant increase in those for the control group and a slight but significant increase for the De group. For the PRG group, integrated values were doubled seven days after experiment initiation, followed by a significant increase. Fluoride-releasing varnish containing S-PRG fillers prevented dentin demineralization as detected by optical coherence tomography.

Optical coherence tomography examination of the effect of S-PRG filler extraction solution on the demineralization of bovine enamel

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of PRG filler extraction solution on the demineralization of enamel using optical coherence tomography (OCT). Bovine enamel was treated with lactic acid buffer solution and then placed in artificial saliva (De group). In the second group, specimens were stored in PRG filler extraction solution followed by immersion in lactic acid buffer solution (PRG group). In the control group, specimens were simply stored in artificial saliva. From the OCT image, the peak intensity (dB) and width at (1/e(2)) were obtained, and the integrated value was calculated. The data were analyzed using Tukey-Kramer tests (α=0.05). There was a slight but significant increase in the integrated value observed for the control group, and a slight but significant decrease in the value observed for the De group. For the PRG group, integrated values were doubled after seven days from the start of the experiment.

Inhibition of enamel demineralization by buffering effect of S‐PRG filler‐containing dental sealant

The buffering capacity and inhibitory effects on enamel demineralization of two commercially available dental sealants were evaluated in this study. The effects of filler particles were also examined. Disks of enamel and cured sealant materials of BeautiSealant (silica or S-PRG filler) or Teethmate F-1 were incubated in lactic acid solutions (pH 4.0) for 1-6d. The pH changes and amounts of ions released in the solutions were assessed, and enamel surfaces were observed using a scanning electron microscope. The pH of the solution with BeautiSealant (S-PRG filler) was neutralized from pH 4.0 to pH 6.1 (after incubation for 1d) and from pH 4.0 to pH 6.7 (after incubation for 6d). In addition, no release of calcium ions was detected and the enamel surface was morphologically intact in scanning electron microscopy images. However, the pH of the solution with Teethmate F-1 remained below pH 4.0 during incubation from days 1 to 6. Calcium release was increased in solutions up to and after 6d of incubation. Scanning electron microscopy images showed that the structures of hydroxyapatite rods were exposed at the specimen surfaces as a result of demineralization. Ions released from S-PRG filler-containing dental sealant rapidly buffered the lactic acid solution and inhibited enamel demineralization.

S-PRG filler를 함유한 치면열구전색제의 미세누출 및 항우식효과

치면열구전색은 생물막의 축적을 물리적으로 막아주며 박테리아에 의해 형성되는 산물질에 화학적 장벽 역할을 한다. 1999년 S-PRG(Surface reaction-type pre-reacted glass ionomer) 필러기술이 개발되었는데 S-PRG 필러는 수분 존재 하에서 스스로 분해되지 않으면서, 지속적으로 불소유리가 가능하다. 이에 저자는S-PRG 필러를 포함하는 치면열구전색제의 미세누출 및 인접 법랑질에 대한 항우식 효과를 기존의 유동성레진 치면열구전색제와 비교해 보고자 한다. 건전한 소구치, 대구치를 실험대상으로 사용하였다. S-PRG 필러를 함유해 불소를 유리하는 치면열구전색제 Beautisealant<TEX>$^{(R)}$</TEX>(Shofu, Japan)를 실험군으로, 유동성레진 치면열구전색제 Concise<TEX>$^{(R)}$</TEX>(3M ESPE, USA)를 대조군으로 선정하였다. 미세누출실험을 위해 실란트 변연 1 mm를 제외한 나머지 치아에 손톱광택제를 2회 도포 후 2% 메틸렌블루 용액에 24시간 동안 보관 후 수세하였다. 항우식효과의 평가는 인공우식용액에 9일간 보관 후 수세 후 시행하였다. 수세한 시편들은 투명레진에 매립 후 현미경 관찰을 위해 절단하였다. 통계분석은 미세노출의 정도는 Chisquare test를, 측정된 우식의 깊이는 Mann-Whitney test를 이용해 두 군 간의 유의성을 검증하였다. S-PRG 치면열구전색제와 유동성레진 치면열구전색제의 미세누출 차이는 관찰되지 않았지만, S-PRG 치면열구전색제는 유동성레진 치면열구전색제 보다 더 높은 항우식효과를 보이는 것으로 나타났다. Pit and fissure sealant prevents biofilm accumulation, plays a role in forming a barrier to acidic substance made by the bacteria. The Surface reaction-type pre-reacted glass ionomerI(S-PRG) filler was developed in 1999. S-PRG filler releases fluoride continuously and does not decompose under wet conditions. The aim of this study was to test the microleakage and anticariogenic effect to adjacent enamel of S-PRG filler-containing pit and fissure sealant. Sound premolars and molars were used in this study. A S-PRG filler-containing pit and fissure sealant, Beautisealant<TEX>$^{(R)}$</TEX>(Shofu, Japan) was used for this experiment, the composite resin sealant Concise<TEX>$^{(R)}$</TEX>(3M ESPE, USA) was used as control. For the microleakage test, all teeth surface were double coated with finger nail varnish, with the exception of a 1.0 mm window around the restoration margins. The teeth were immersed in 2% methylene blue solution for 24 hours and then rinsed in tap water. For the anticariogenic effect evaluation, all tooth were immersed in artificial carious solution for 9 days and rinsed with tap water. Each tooth was embedded in orthodontic acrylic rein and subsequently sectioned longitudinally in a bucco-lingual direction with a low-speed diamond saw. The cut sections were examined using a stereomicroscope. Differences in microleakage between the two groups were not different significantly. But the S-PRG filler-containing pit and fissure sealant showed higher anticariogenic effect than that of flowable resin sealant.

Ultrasonic investigation of the effect of S-PRG filler-containing coating material on bovine tooth demineralization

This study investigated the effect of a coating material containing S-PRG fillers on the demineralization of bovine enamel and dentin, by measuring changes in the transmitted ultrasonic velocity. Bovine enamel and dentin specimens with and without coating (n=6 for each condition) were cut into blocks, immersed in 0.1 M lactic-acid buffer solution (pH 4.75) for 10 min twice daily throughout the test period, and stored in a demineralising artificial saliva solution (pH 7.0) between treatments. The propagation time of longitudinal ultrasonic waves was measured by a pulser-receiver with a transducer. Data were evaluated using ANOVA followed by Tukey's HSD test (α=0.05). The sonic velocity decreased over time for specimens stored in demineralising solution; however, coated specimens had a significantly higher sonic velocity than those without coating. The coating material containing pre-reacted glass-ionomer fillers therefore appeared to reduce the demineralisation of enamel and dentin.

Detection of ions released from S-PRG fillers and their modulation effect

The purpose of this study was to analyze the ions released from a surface pre-reacted glass ionomer (S-PRG) filler in distilled water or lactic acid solution. S-PRG filler was mixed with either solution at 1000:1, 100:1, 10:1, and 1:1 ratios by weight. By means of inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy and a fluoride electrode, elements released from S-PRG filler were identified to be Al, B, Na, Si, Sr, and F. To investigate the effect of solution pH on ion release, the pH values of the solutions before mixing and after 24 hours' mixing with S-PRG were measured. After 24 hours' mixing, the pH values of solutions at all ratios became more neutral or weakly alkaline regardless of their initial pH levels before mixing. In conclusion, results showed that S-PRG filler released several types of ions, and that ion release was influenced by the mixing ratio of the solution rather than the initial pH of the solution.

Antibacterial activity of composite resin with glass-ionomer filler particles

The purpose of this study was to examine the antibacterial activity of composite resin with glass-ionomer filler particles versus that of contemporary commercial composite resins. Three composite resins were used: Beautifil II (containing S-PRG filler), Clearfil AP-X, and Filtek Z250. Resin blocks were bonded to maxillary first molars, and plaque accumulation on the resin block surface was examined after 8 hours. For the antibacterial test, the number of Streptococcus mutans in contact with the composite resin blocks after incubation for 12 hours was determined, and adherence of radiolabeled bacteria was evaluated. Less dental plaque was formed on Beautifil II resin block as compared to the other two materials. Antibacterial test revealed that there were no significant differences in the number of Streptococcus mutans among the three composite resins. However, the adherence of radiolabeled bacteria to the saliva-treated resin surface was significantly (p<0.01) lower in Beautifil II than in the other two materials. These results suggested that Beautifil II could reduce dental plaque formation and bacterial adherence, leading to prevention of secondary caries.
