Chitosan is a biomaterial with antibacterial properties that may benefit from maintaining peri-miniscrew hygiene and preventing inflammation. This study aimed to evaluate the expression of inflammatory-related molecules from the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) after treatment of 1% chitosan when compared with 0.2% chlorhexidine mouthwash of patients with orthodontic miniscrew.
A total of 30 subjects were divided into three groups: the first group received mouthwash containing 1% chitosan, the second group 0.2% chlorhexidine digluconate, and the control group received aquadest. The GCF was collected before and after 4 days of rinsing, and relative expressions of IL-1α and IL-1β, cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) were evaluated by real-time qPCR.
The expression of IL-1α was the highest in chitosan-treated patients when compared with that of IL-1β in between-groups. Patients receiving chlorhexidine have the highest expression of COX-2 and iNOS when compared with the chitosan and control groups, respectively.
A mouthwash containing 1% of chitosan could suppress the expression of inflammatory mediators IL-1β, COX-2, and iNOS.
壳聚糖是一种具有抗菌特性的生物材料,可能有助于保持微螺钉周围的卫生并预防炎症。本研究旨在评估正畸微螺钉患者使用1%壳聚糖治疗后,龈沟液(GCF)中炎症相关分子的表达,并与0.2%氯己定漱口水进行比较。
总共30名受试者被分为三组:第一组接受含1%壳聚糖的漱口水,第二组接受0.2%葡萄糖酸氯己定,对照组接受蒸馏水。在漱口4天前后收集龈沟液,并通过实时定量聚合酶链反应评估白细胞介素-1α(IL-1α)、白细胞介素-1β(IL-1β)、环氧合酶-2(COX-2)和诱导型一氧化氮合酶(iNOS)的相对表达。
与组间的IL-1β相比,壳聚糖治疗患者中IL-1α的表达最高。与壳聚糖组和对照组相比,接受氯己定治疗的患者中COX-2和iNOS的表达分别最高。
含1%壳聚糖的漱口水可抑制炎症介质IL-1β、COX-2和iNOS的表达。
