Abstract
Introduction: Bacterial biofilm is known as the main cause of periodontal disease. Generally, the anaerobic Gram-negative, such as Porphyromonas gingivalis and Fusobacterium nucleatum, are considered the most identified bacteria.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the antimicrobial effect and cytotoxicity of two experimental composites containing chitosan-silver oxide (CH-Ag2O) particles.
Materials and methods: Four experimental groups, including Ag2O and CH, along with two composites of CH-Ag2O 20 and CH-Ag2O 60 mg, were prepared. Antimicrobial activity was performed against Porphyromonas gingivalis (ATCC#33277) and Fusobacterium nucleatum (ATCC#25586) using the agar dilution method. Moreover, the cytotoxicity assay was performed on human gingival fibroblasts (HGF) by the use of the MTT method. The obtained data were analyzed with descriptive methods, one-way ANOVA, and Tukey's LSD tests.
Results: The antibacterial activity of both composites was higher than both CH and Ag2O, and the greatest antibacterial properties were presented in CH-Ag2O 60. In all three measurements (24, 48, and 72 h), the greatest cytotoxicity was seen in Ag2O, followed by CH, CH-Ag2O 20, and CHAg2O 60 in descending order, respectively. The cytotoxicity of these components was related to the concentration and not to the time of exposure. The results showed that Ag2O in 3.7 and 7.5 μg/ml concentrations and CH-containing groups in 250 and 500 μg/ml were toxic to the cultured HGF.
Conclusion: The experimental composite containing CH-Ag2O 60 showed the greatest antibacterial properties against two periodontal pathogens evaluated. In order to clarify the clinical significance of composite cytotoxicity, further clinical studies are necessary.
期刊介绍:
Protein & Peptide Letters publishes letters, original research papers, mini-reviews and guest edited issues in all important aspects of protein and peptide research, including structural studies, advances in recombinant expression, function, synthesis, enzymology, immunology, molecular modeling, and drug design. Manuscripts must have a significant element of novelty, timeliness and urgency that merit rapid publication. Reports of crystallization and preliminary structure determination of biologically important proteins are considered only if they include significant new approaches or deal with proteins of immediate importance, and preliminary structure determinations of biologically important proteins. Purely theoretical/review papers should provide new insight into the principles of protein/peptide structure and function. Manuscripts describing computational work should include some experimental data to provide confirmation of the results of calculations.
Protein & Peptide Letters focuses on:
Structure Studies
Advances in Recombinant Expression
Drug Design
Chemical Synthesis
Function
Pharmacology
Enzymology
