Zusammenfassung: | •Proanthocyanidin-functionalized nano-hydroxyapatite (nHAp_PA) were synthesized.•nHAp_PA were applied on previously demineralized dentin for 1 min•Mineral content and collagen cross-links of the dentin were increased by nHAp_PA.•Mechanical properties of the dentin were improved by the nHAp_PA treatment.•nHAp_PA promote remineralization while improving collagen stability in dentin.
This study evaluated the potential combined effects of nanohydroxyapatite and proanthocyanidin on the remineralization and collagen stabilization of demineralized dentin.
Seventy-five coronal dentin beams (6 × 1 × 1 mm3) were randomly allocated into five experimental groups (n = 15): Sound (no treatment), Control (pH-cycling), nHAp (nanohydroxyapatite), nHAp_PA (Proanthocyanidin-functionalized nanohydroxyapatite), and PA (proanthocyanidin) treatments. The sound group (negative control) were immersed in distilled water over the experimental period. The remaining groups were submitted to a pH-cycling process for 14 days. Following the de-re mineralization process, specimens corresponding to the control group (positive control) were immersed in distilled water whereas the test groups were immersed in 1 mL of respective solution treatment (nHAp, nHAp_PA, or PA) for 1 min. The dentin samples were analyzed to determine their chemical composition (ATR-FTIR and Thermogravimetric) and mineralogical (XRD) characteristics as well as their mechanical response, obtained by three-point bending test.
Higher phosphate content (v4 PO4: ATR-FTIR) and amount of mineral (XRD) was observed in the nHAp_PA group. Furthermore, a larger induction of collagen cross-links (ATR-FTIR) and %Organic Matter (TGA) would indicate the PA incorporation and the achievement of dentin matrix stability. These effects on dentin properties were related to increasing flexural strength (MPa), demonstrating that 15% w/v nHAp_PA treatment improved the mechanical properties of the samples.
nHAp_PA shows significant potential for promoting remineralization while improving collagen stability into demineralized dentin in a clinically feasible period of 1 min. |
