In vitro biological evaluation of new dental biomaterials

Abstract
Since the bactericidal effect of silver and gold is known, an attempt has been made to produce a new group of bactericidal biomaterials for use in restorative dentistry, containing nanoparticles of silver and gold. The aim of this research was to evaluate the cytotoxicity and antibacterial activity of newly produced biomaterials. Colloidal solutions of silver and gold, as well as the addition of nanosilver-containing bioglass were used for the preparation of these materials. The study was based on water-mixable glass-ionomer cement. Two types of glass, obtained by sol-gel method were used as nanosilver-containing bioglass. The basic performance properties of produced cements - setting time and compressive strength - were studied. Cytotoxicity assays were performed by a direct contact method, in accordance with ISO 10993-5 standard. The test of antimicrobial activity was performed using a dilution method, with Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus. The results of the above work have shown that the method used to supplement water-mixable glass-ionomer cements with silver or gold allows to obtain materials with antibacterial properties against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus. Also, the addition of nanosilver and nanogold to cement did not cause significant changes in the level of cytotoxicity relative to the basic cement. The resulting materials, however, require improvement and optimization, particularly regarding the preparation of glass powders with silver and performance of cements. The obtained results encourage the further study of dental materials with antibacterial properties.
