Composites with remineralizing and antibacterial properties are favorable for caries inhibition. The objectives of this study were to develop a new bioactive nanocomposite with remineralizing and antibiofilm properties by incorporating dimethylaminohexadecyl methacrylate (DMAHDM) and nano-calcium fluoride (nCaF).
nCaF was produced via a spray-drying method and integrated at 15% mass fraction into composite. DMAHDM was added at 3% mass fraction. Mechanical properties and F and Ca ion releases were assessed. Colony-forming units (CFU), lactic acid and metabolic activity of biofilms on composites were performed.
The new composites had flexural strengths of (95.28±6.32) MPa and (125.93±7.49) MPa, which were within the ISO recommendations. Biofilm CFU were reduced by 3-4 log (p<0.05). The composites achieved high F releases of (0.89±0.01) mmol/L and (0.44±0.01) mmol/L, and Ca releases of (1.46±0.05) mmol/L and (0.54±0.005) mmol/L.
New nanocomposites were developed with good mechanical properties, potent antibacterial activity against salivary biofilms, and high F and Ca ion releases with potential for remineralization.
Novel nanocomposites using nCaF and DMAHDM were developed with potent antibacterial and remineralizing effects and high F and Ca ion releases. They are promising to inhibit recurrent caries, promote remineralization, and possess long-term sustainability.
具有再矿化和抗菌性能的复合材料有利于抑制龋齿。本研究的目的是通过掺入二甲基氨基己基甲基丙烯酸酯（DMAHDM）和纳米氟化钙（nCaF）来开发具有再矿化和抗生物膜特性的新型生物活性纳米复合材料。
通过喷雾干燥法制备 nCaF，并以 15%的质量分数掺入复合材料中。添加 3%质量分数的 DMAHDM。评估了机械性能以及 F 和 Ca 离子的释放情况。对复合材料上的菌落形成单位（CFU）、乳酸和生物膜代谢活性进行了检测。
新型复合材料的抗弯强度为（95.28±6.32）MPa 和（125.93±7.49）MPa，在 ISO 建议范围内。生物膜 CFU 减少了 3-4 对数（p<0.05）。复合材料的 F 释放量高达（0.89±0.01）mmol/L 和（0.44±0.01）mmol/L，Ca 释放量高达（1.46±0.05）mmol/L 和（0.54±0.005）mmol/L。
开发了具有良好机械性能、对唾液生物膜具有强大抗菌活性以及高 F 和 Ca 离子释放量的新型纳米复合材料，具有再矿化潜力。
使用 nCaF 和 DMAHDM 开发的新型纳米复合材料具有强大的抗菌和再矿化作用以及高 F 和 Ca 离子释放量，有望抑制复发性龋齿、促进再矿化，并具有长期可持续性。
