Peri-implantitis-an infection caused by bacterial deposition of biofilm-is a common complication in dentistry which may lead to implant loss. Several decontamination procedures have been investigated to identify the optimal approach being capable to remove the bacterial biofilm without modifying the implant surface properties. Our study evaluated whether two different systems-Ni-Ti Brushes (Brush) and Air-Polishing with 40 µm bicarbonate powder (Bic40)-might alter the physical/chemical features of two different titanium surfaces-machined (MCH) and Ca nanostructured (NCA)-and whether these decontamination systems may affect the biological properties of human STRO-1/c-Kit dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) as well as the bacterial ability to produce biofilm. Cell morphology, proliferation and stemness markers were analysed in hDPSCs grown on both surfaces, before and after the decontamination treatments. Our findings highlighted that Bic40 treatment either maintained the surface characteristics of both implants and allowed hDPSCs to proliferate and preserve their stemness properties. Moreover, Bic40 treatment proved effective in removing bacterial biofilm from both titanium surfaces and consistently limited the biofilm re-growth. In conclusion, our data suggest that Bic40 treatment may operatively clean smooth and rough surfaces without altering their properties and, consequently, offer favourable conditions for reparative cells to hold their biological properties.
种植体周围炎-一种由细菌生物膜沉积引起的感染-是牙科的常见并发症,可能导致种植体丧失。已经研究了几种消毒程序,以确定最佳方法,能够在不改变植入物表面特性的情况下去除细菌生物膜。我们的研究评估了两种不同的系统-镍钛刷(Brush)和 40 µm 碳酸氢盐粉末的空气抛光(Bic40)-是否可能改变两种不同钛表面-机械加工(MCH)和 Ca 纳米结构(NCA)的物理/化学特性,以及这些消毒系统是否会影响人 STRO-1/c-Kit 牙髓干细胞(hDPSCs)的生物学特性以及细菌产生生物膜的能力。在消毒处理前后,分析了在两种表面上生长的 hDPSCs 的细胞形态、增殖和干性标志物。我们的研究结果表明,Bic40 处理既保持了两种植入物的表面特性,又允许 hDPSCs 增殖并保持其干性特性。此外,Bic40 处理有效地从两种钛表面去除了细菌生物膜,并一致地限制了生物膜的再生长。总之,我们的数据表明,Bic40 处理可以在不改变其特性的情况下对光滑和粗糙表面进行有效清洁,从而为修复细胞保持其生物学特性提供有利条件。
