This study aimed to fabricate a denture base resin (DBR) containing phytoncide microcapsules (PTMCs) and determine the mechanical properties of the resin and antifungal activity.
Fifty-four heat-cured rectangular DBR specimens (64 × 10 × 3.3 ± 0.2 mm) containing nine concentrations of PTMC between 0 and 5% (wt/wt) were fabricated and subjected to a three-point bending test. A phytoncide release bioassay was developed using DBR containing 0% and 2.5% PTMCs (wt/wt) in a 24 well-plate assay with incubation of Porphyromonas gingivalis at 37 °C for 74 h. The antifungal activity of PTMCs against Candida albicans, in a pH 5.5 acidic environment was determined in a plate assay.
Flexural strength decreased with increasing PTMC concentration from 97.58 ± 4.79 MPa for the DBR alone to 53.66 ± 2.46 MPa for DBR containing 5.0% PTMC. No release of phytoncide from the PTMCs in the DBR was detected at pH 7.4. The PTMCs had a minimal inhibitory concentration of 2.6% (wt/vol) against C. albicans at pH 5.5.
PTMCs can be added to DBR 2.5% (wt/wt) without adversely affecting flexural strength. PTMCs released the antimicrobial agent at pH 5.5 at concentrations sufficient to inhibit the growth of the C. albicans.
本研究旨在制备一种含有植物杀菌素微胶囊(PTMCs)的义齿基托树脂(DBR),并测定该树脂的机械性能和抗真菌活性。
制备了54个热固化的矩形DBR标本(64×10×3.3±0.2mm),其中含有9种浓度在0至5%(重量/重量)之间的PTMCs,并进行三点弯曲试验。使用含有0%和2.5% PTMCs(重量/重量)的DBR在24孔板试验中进行植物杀菌素释放生物测定,将牙龈卟啉单胞菌在37°C下孵育74小时。在平板试验中测定了PTMCs在pH 5.5酸性环境中对白色念珠菌的抗真菌活性。
随着PTMC浓度的增加,弯曲强度从仅DBR的97.58±4.79MPa降低到含有5.0% PTMC的DBR的53.66±2.46MPa。在pH 7.4时未检测到DBR中PTMCs释放植物杀菌素。PTMCs在pH 5.5时对白色念珠菌的最小抑菌浓度为2.6%(重量/体积)。
可以将PTMCs以2.5%(重量/重量)的比例添加到DBR中,而不会对弯曲强度产生不利影响。PTMCs在pH 5.5时释放抗菌剂,其浓度足以抑制白色念珠菌的生长。
