ABSTRACTThe aim of this work was to develop a new Ag-doped bioactive material with antibacterial behavior, optimizing the properties of the new fabricated composite material in the system SiO2 58.6 -P2O5 7.2 -Al2O3 4.2 -CaO 24.9 -Na2O 2.1 -K2O 3 (wt%). Two systems with different concentrations in Ag2O (Ba with 2.1 and Bb with 4.2 wt%) were prepared by the sol-gel method and compared to the respective silver-free control composite (CONTROL). The microstructural characteristics of the developed compositions were characterized by different techniques as UV/VIS spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy with Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (SEM-EDS). The antibacterial properties of the Ag-doped glass-ceramics were tested against the bacterial colony Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) which is very characteristic oral bacteria and the material-cell interaction was monitored in a primary culture of Human Gingival Fibroblasts (HGFs). Our study shows the successful incorporation of the silver ions in the ceramic structure and the preparation of new Ag-doped composite materials with cell-proliferation-inductive, as well as antibacterial properties indicating their potential application dental tissue restoration strategies.

Glass-ceramic scaffolds containing Mg have shown recently the potential to enhance the proliferation, differentiation, and biomineralization of stem cells in vitro, property that makes them promising candidates for dental tissue regeneration. An additional property of a scaffold aimed at dental tissue regeneration is to protect the regeneration process against oral bacteria penetration. In this respect, novel bioactive scaffolds containing Mg2+and Cu2+or Zn2+, ions known for their antimicrobial properties, were synthesized by the foam replica technique and tested regarding their bioactive response in SBF, mechanical properties, degradation, and porosity. Finally their ability to support the attachment and long-term proliferation of Dental Pulp Stem Cells (DPSCs) was also evaluated. The results showed that conversely to their bioactive response in SBF solution, Zn-doped scaffolds proved to respond adequately regarding their mechanical strength and to be efficient regarding their biological response, in comparison to Cu-doped scaffolds, which makes them promising candidates for targeted dental stem cell odontogenic differentiation and calcified dental tissue engineering.

Due to their low cost and environmentally friendly nature, plant extracts based methods have gained significant popularity among researchers for the synthesis of metallic nanoparticles. Herein, green synthesis of silver nanoparticles was performed using the aqueous solution of Ziziphus mauritiana leaves extract (ZM-LE) as a bio-reducing agent. The as-obtained silver nanoparticles were characterized by using UV-Vis spectroscopy, XRD (X-ray diffraction), TEM (transmission electron microscopy), and FT-IR (Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy). In addition, the effects of the concentrations of the leaves extract, silver nitrate, and the temperature on the preparation of nanoparticles were also investigated. In order to determine the nature of secondary metabolites present in leaves extract, a preliminary investigation of phytoconstituents was carried out using different methods including Folin-Ciocalteu and AlCl3 methods. The results have indicated the presence of a considerable amount of phenolic and flavonoid contents in the leaves extract, which are believed to be responsible for the reduction of silver ions and stabilization of resulting nanoparticles. Indeed, the FT-IR spectrum of silver nanoparticles also confirmed the presence of residual phytomolecules of leaves extract as stabilizing ligands on the surface of nanoparticles. The antibacterial properties of as-obtained silver nanoparticles were tested against various bacterial strains including Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Bacillus subtilis. The nanoparticles strongly inhibited the growth of S. aureus with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 2.5 μg/ml and moderately inhibited the growth of E. coli with a MIC of 5 μg/ml.

Antibacterial Ag-doped TiO2 porous monolithics were firstly prepared by hybridization of polyethylene glycol, Ti(OC4H9)4 and AgNO3 via sol-gel method following by heat-treatment to remove the organic components. Thermogravimeter−differential thermal analysis, pore structure, infrared spectra, ultraviolet−visible spectra, release speed of silver ions into 30°C water and antibacterial properties of Ag-doped TiO2 samples made at different temperature were studied. The results showed that anatase phase and uniform pore structure can be formed after heated at 500°C. Ag+ ions from the samples heated at 500°C were stably released into water at 30°C up to 14 days. The material treated at 500°C has the best antibacterial property and can restrain Escherichia coli effectively.

The aim of this work was to improve a newly developed family of glass-ceramic composite materials by incorporating silver ions in the ceramic structure, thus developing new Ag-doped materials with the ability of showing antibacterial activity for dental applications. Two different sol-gel methodologies were applied for the fabrication of colorless, homogenous and chemically durable materials which can slowly release silver ion for relatively long periods. Both methods led to the successful development of Ag-doped glass-ceramics with silver ions incorporated in the structure that can slowly release in buffer solution, during a period of 45 days. The potential, application of these materials involve the development of bioactive surfaces on dental substrates which can seal the marginal gap creating a bacterial free environment finally supporting the success of dental restorations.

Scaffold-based tooth engineering is currently the most popular approach towards replacing dental tissues or even engineering a bio-tooth. Although, various scaffold materials have been employed in tooth regeneration, the scaffold-based tooth design has, until now, achieved only limited success. Recently, bioactive Mg-based ceramics have attracted interest as Mg plays an important role on skeletal metabolism and affects the quality and structure of hard dental tissues. Mg has been reported to improve the mechanical properties of calcium phosphate ceramics, control biodegradation rate and stabilize the cell-material interface improving cell attachment and growth. The aim of this study was the development of an experimental Mg-based ceramic material, with enhanced bioactivity and adequate mechanical properties, in order to be potentially used in dental tissue regeneration. The Mg-based ceramic was prepared by the sol-gel method, while the stabilization was performed at 1300, 1400 and 1450oC in order a fully crystalline material to be obtained. The characterization of the materials -before and after immersion is Simulated Body Fluid (SBF)- was performed by Fourier Tranform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-Ray Diffractometry (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy associated with an EDS analyzer (SEM-EDS), while the flexural strength of uniaxially pressed pellets was measured using a universal testing machine for 3- point bending tests (Instron 3344). FTIR spectra and XRD patterns of all powder samples before immersion in SBF solution confirmed the presence of three crystalline phases; akermanite, merwinite and diopside. The onset of apatite formation on the surface of all powders was observed even after three days of immersion, while the apatite formation on the surface of the sintered pellets was slightly delayed. Flexural strength values were in the range of 30Mpa. In conclusion, Mg-based glass-ceramics attain adequate mechanical integrity and high rate of bioactivity and could be potentially used in the construction of ceramic scaffolds for dental tissue regeneration.

AbstractSol-gel method was successfully used for synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles doped with 10 % Mg or Cu. The structure, morphology and optical properties of the prepared nanoparticles were studied as a function of doping content. The synthesized ZnO:(Mg/Cu) samples were characterized using XRD, TEM, FTIR and UV-Vis spectroscopy techniques. The samples show hexagonal wurtzite structure, and the phase segregation takes place for Cu doping. Optical studies revealed that Mg doping increases the energy band gap while Cu incorporation results in decrease of the band gap. The antibacterial activities of the nanoparticles were tested against Escherichia coli (Gram negative bacteria) cultures. It was found that both pure and doped ZnO nanosuspensions show good antibacterial activity which increases with copper doping, and slightly decreases with adding Mg.

A glass (G) and a glass-ceramic (GC) of different composition were selected and studied to realize a biocompatible e/o bioactive material with antibacterial properties through the introduction of silver ions. The glass was produced in bulk form, instead glass-ceramic powders were sintered to abtain massive samples, which are characterized in terms of biocompatibility and subjected to ion- exchange technique [1] to allow the silver ions introduction and modify only the external surface layer of the materials, thus maintaining unchanged the bulk characteristics. The obtained samples were completely characterized to verify if the silver introduction leads to structural, morphological or in vitro behaviour change; silver release test was also carried out as well as antibacterial test with Staphylococcus Aureus and cytotoxicity test on human cells.

Nickel Oxide (NiO) is an important transition metal oxide with cubic lattice structure. NiO is thermally stable that is suitable for tremendous applications in the field of optic, ceramic,glass, electro-chromic coatings, plastics, textiles, nanowires, nanofibers, electronics,energy technology, bio-medicine, magnetism and so on. In this present study, NiO nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by sol-gel technique. Nano-sols were prepared by dissolving Nickel-Chloride [NiCl2.6H2O] in NaOH solvent and were converted into nano structured gel on precipitation. A systematic change in preparation parameters like calcination temperature, time, pH value has been noticed in order to predict the influence on crystallite size. Then the prepared samples were characterized by the X-ray Diffraction Spectroscopic (XRD), UV-VIS Spectroscopy, Fourier Transform Infra-Red Spectroscopy (FTIR), Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Particle Size Analyzer (PSA). From XRD, the average crystalline-size has been calculated by Debye-Scherrer Equation and it was found to be 12.17 nm and the band gap energy of Nickel oxide (NiO) from UV studies reveals around 3.85 eV. Further, EDX and FTIR studies, confirm the presences of NiO nanoparticles. The SEM study exhibits the spherical like morphology of Nickel oxide (NiO). Further from PSA, the mean value of NiO nanoparticles has been determined.

AbstractCinnamon essential oil (CEO) has antibacterial properties, but its ability to suppress the formation of multi-species oral biofilms has not been fully elucidated. This study evaluated the antibacterial and antibiofilm activities of cinnamon essential oil nanoemulsion (CEON) against oral biofilms formed using a microcosm biofilm model. The biofilms were formed on bovine enamel specimens over a 7-day period, during which all specimens were treated with one of three solutions: 5% CEON (n = 35), 0.5% cocamidopropyl betaine (n = 35), or 0.12% chlorhexidine gluconate (CHX; n = 35). Antibacterial and antibiofilm activities were determined by the red/green ratios (R/G values) of 7-day-old mature biofilms photographed with quantitative light-induced fluorescence-digital, the number of aciduric bacterial colony-forming units (CFUs) within each biofilm, and the absorbance of bacterial suspensions. One-way and repeated-measures analysis of variance were performed to compare differences among the three solutions. R/G values were lowest in the 0.12% CHX group, but not significantly differ from the 5% CEON group. The number of CFUs and absorbance were lowest in the 5% CEON group. This study showed that nanoemulsified CEO inhibited the maturation of multi-species oral biofilms and the growth of oral microorganisms in biofilms, including aciduric bacteria that cause dental caries.

AbstractPraseodymium doped TiO2 nanoparticles were successfully prepared by the sol–gel method and characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, N2 adsorption–desorption isotherm, and UV–vis spectroscopy. The effects of the dopant on the crystallite size, specific surface area, average pore diameter, pore volume, and bandgap energy were investigated. The photocatalytic activity of the catalysts was evaluated by bisphenol A degradation and mineralization, which is a representative endocrine disruptor. Furthermore, under visible light irradiation the Pr-modified TiO2 photocatalysts exhibited higher photocatalytic efficiency than unmodified TiO2. When praseodymium was loaded (1.0–5.0%) onto the surface of TiO2, the rates of degradation and mineralization were increased 3–5 times.
