Effect of exposure conditions on chemical properties of materials for surgical endodontic procedures.
European Journal of Oral Sciences 2023 June 31
This study investigated the role of aging and changes in environmental conditions on selected properties of a prototype radiopacified calcium silicate-based cement (TZ-base) with or without incorporation of silver nanoparticles or bioactive glass, and two commercial materials, Biodentine and intermediate restorative material. Materials were immersed in ultrapure water or fetal bovine serum for 28 days and were characterized with scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive x-ray analysis. Immersion media were either replaced weekly or not replenished at all and were assessed for alkalinity and calcium release after 1, 7, 14, 21, and 28 days; antibacterial effect against 2-day monospecies biofilms; and cytotoxicity by the 3-(4,5 dimethylthiazolyl-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide assay after 1, 7, or 28 days. Alkalinity, calcium release, antibacterial activity, and cell cytotoxicity increased over time when the medium was not changed but decreased with medium replenishment. Immersion in fetal bovine serum resulted in lower alkalinity, less bactericidal properties, and lower cytotoxicity of prototype cements and Biodentine than did water immersion. Biodentine and 20% bioactive glass-containing cement had overall lower alkalinity, calcium release, and antibacterial activity than TZ-base, and Biodentine was less cytotoxic than TZ-base. In conclusion, exposure conditions and cement modifications significantly affected materials' leaching properties. Exposure conditions warrant consideration when evaluating cements' clinical properties.
