“…The production process also affected the efficacy. A previous study also showed that NSF was a good antibacterial and left no black staining on the teeth, in agreement with the results of the present study, where NSF was better at inhibiting both bacterial species (Table 2) [21].…”

Objective: The objective of this study is to investigate the potency of propolis fluoride (PPF) and nano silver fluoride (NSF) as fluoride-based varnishes for inhibiting Streptococcus mutans and Enterococcus faecalis biofilm formation. In this study, both varnishes were compared to silver diamine fluoride (SDF) varnish, the gold standard for anticariogenic agents. Methods:The suspensions of S. mutans and E. faecalis were cultured and then plated into 96 -well plates and combined with SDF (38%), NSF (3.16, 3.66, and 4.16%), or PPF (3, 6, and 10%). E. faecalis was incubated in an anaerobic environment for 24 h, and the same protocol was used for S. mutans. The amount of biofilm inhibition was evaluated by optical density measurements at 570 nm using a microplate reader. Data were analyzed using oneway ANOVA. Results:The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of PPF for S. mutans was 3%, and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) was 10%. The MIC of PPF for E. faecalis was at 6%, but no MBC was established. The MIC of NSF for S. mutans was 3.16%, and the MBC was 4.16%. The MIC of NSF for E. faecalis was 3.16%, while the MBC was 4.16%. Biofilm formation was inhibited dose-dependently by both NSF and PPF.Conclusion: NSF and PPF fluoride-based varnishes show clear antibacterial effects that are comparable to those obtained with SDF fluoride-based varnish.

“…NSF is known to be a good antibacterial agent [21], and it gave better results than SDF. The present study confirmed the antibacterial effect of NSF on S. mutans but also showed its effectiveness on E. faecalis, which is known to be more resistant than S. mutans.…”

“…Another study stated that silver nanoparticles could have serious toxic effects on the human male's reproductive system [7][8][9]. NSF was made in our laboratory, following the formula that has been reported, comparing to propolis fluoride (PPF) and SDF in their ability to release calcium, phosphate, and fluoride ions as a parameter to remineralize the tooth that was analyzed [10].…”

Objectives: The purpose of this present study was to analyze several fluoride-based varnishes: Silver diamine fluoride (SDF), nanosilver fluoride (NSF), and propolis fluoride (PPF). Fluoride-based varnish is proven to act as antibacterial and remineralization agents that arrested caries progression with minimal side effects. SDF, the golden standard for this study, was compared to NSF and PPF, which were made in our own laboratory, to evaluate their ability to release calcium, phosphate, and fluoride ions and act as anticariogenic agents.Methods: Human dentin discs were prepared and divided into control groups and treatment groups with SDF (38%), NSF (3.16%, 3.66%, and 4.16%), and PPF (3%, 6%, and 10%). The dentin discs were demineralized using a demineralization solution (pH 4.4) for 96 h. Each dentin disc in the treatment group received a topical application of various fluoride-based varnishes and then was subjected to pH-cycling for 8 days. The quantity of calcium, phosphate, and fluoride ions on the dentin discs surface was compared after being detected using energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Results:The result revealed that the calcium ion levels in groups NSF and PPF increased significantly compared to SDF. The levels of phosphate ions and fluoride ions in groups NSF and PPF increased significantly compared to SDF. Conclusion:The study concluded that, in contrast to SDF, the prepared NSF and PPF fluoride-based varnishes were shown to release calcium, phosphate, and fluoride ions in this study. Hence, NSF and PPF fluoride-based varnishes are promising as anticariogenic agents.

“…However, the tests were performed in vitro or with the use of preparations containing nanoparticles of silver ions, which were applied exogenously as varnishes or gels. [19][20][21][22][23]. Moreover, the D3MFT value does not depend entirely on one sole factor -bacteria.…”

D, Hrynovets V, Szybiński V, Hrynioh V. Condition of mineralized tooth tissues of inhabitants of Szackie Lake District (Ukraine) regarding silver content and selected macro-elements in drinking water and soil. Ann Agric Environ Med. AbstractIntroduction and objective. The aim of the study is to evaluate the mineralization tooth tissues in the inhabitants of Melniki village Szackie, Lake District, Ukraine, with regard to silver content and chosen macro-elements in the soil, tap water, and the water in Pisoczno Lake located in the vicinity of village. Materials and method. The macro-elements, silver ions contained in the lake, tap water and soil were examined. 125 people aged 12-73, indigenous inhabitants of Melniki village, were qualified for dental examinations. The research took into account the distance between the place of residence and Pisoczno Lake as a source of silver ions, dividing the examined patients into 2 groups: A) living at a distance less than 2,500 m from the lake, and B) living at a distance more than 2.500 m from the lake. Results. In area A, significantly higher contents of phosphorus and potassium were detected, while in the soil of area B there was more Ca and Mg with 3 times higher number of Mg ions. A high concentration of Ag ions was observed in both Pisoczno Lake and tap water. The severity of caries expressed by D3MFT number was 4.18 in the group aged 12-16 living in area A, and 4.24 for the inhabitants of area B. The mean value of D3MFT for the group aged 32-45 living in area A equalled 21.58, while for area B it was 21.19. The severity of caries expressed by the mean D3MFT value in the examined group of 46-73-year-olds was 24.60 for area A, and 23.80 for area B. The observed differences were not statistically significant. Conclusions. The high value of D3MFT recorded in the inhabitants of Melniki village indicates the poor condition of mineralized tooth tissues. The fact that the contents of macro-elements in the soil and drinking water increased, together with the distance from the Pisoczno Lake shoreline, did not affect the oral health of the indigenous inhabitants. No impact of silver ions contained in the lake and tap water on the condition of mineralized tooth tissue was detected in the examined group of inhabitants of Szackie Lake District.
