“…Mechanical properties such as surface roughness and hardness are characteristics of the materials’ durability in the oral environment [ 28 , 29 ]. Moreover, increased surface roughness may contribute to facilitated microbial colonization and accumulation of biofilm potentially leading to inflammation of the soft oral tissues [ 30 ]. To agree on a critical roughness value for a certain material would not be feasible as such a value would be dependent on several factors such as the material composition, finishing and polishing procedures, as well as measuring technique and instruments [ 31 , 32 ].…”

Objective To compare the cumulative impact of sequential wear on mechanical properties and appearance of a composite resin (CR), Filtek Z250 ® , a glass ionomer GI, Fuji IX GP ® , and a glass hybrid (GH), Equia Forte ® . Material and Methods Six equally sized specimens of each material were subjected to wear tests, i.e., simulation of brushing, chewing and acidic liquid exposure, mimicking at least 6 months of clinical exposure. Surface roughness, hardness, substance loss and degree of shade lightness were determined. Results Following wear tests, significant increase in surface roughness and decrease in hardness values were observed for all materials ( p < .05). Significantly larger substance loss was found in Equia Forte ® specimens compared to Filtek Z250 ® ( p < .05), while that of Fuji IX ® exceeded the measurement capacity of the instrument. Opposite to the two other materials, the shade of Filtek Z250 ® became darker. Conclusions Sequential wear exposure mimicking abrasion, erosion and attrition to products representing CR, GI and GH, caused weakening and change in appearance of the materials. The composite resin was the most mechanically resistant to the sequential wear.

“…Etiologically, EPS plays a key role in the development of dental caries by promoting bacterial adhesion and aggregation. 45 As the long-term application of antibiotics may induce drug resistance and dysbacteriosis, 46 the EPS reduction in cariogenic biofilms is beneficial for the prevention and treatment of dental caries. With fewer adverse complications, SSN-AS vicR nanoparticles may be a promising alternative or supplement to the currently used antibiotics.…”

“…Microbial bio lms in the mouth are involved in the etiology of various oral conditions, including tooth decay, periodontal and endodontic diseases, bad breath, denture stomatitis, candidiasis, and dental implant failure 29 . Current treatment techniques include periodic mechanical removal of oral microbial bio lms and maintenance of therapeutic concentrations of antimicrobials in the mouth, both of which have limitations.…”

Dental implant inflammation is primarily caused by oral biofilms, which form within 8 hours, particularly at 37°C, thereby requiring diligent cleaning. Considering the complex management of dental implants, a novel technology based on the bioelectric effect (BE) to combat inflammation has emerged. A BE-integrated toothbrush was developed and clinically tested on patients with dental implants (N = 36). Our findings revealed a significant average plaque index reduction of 67% with BE technology compared with that at baseline (P < 0.05), whereas non-BE did not yield statistical significance even after four weeks of use (P > 0.05). The bleeding index demonstrated a 59% average reduction in all surfaces with BE technology (P < 0.05), whereas the non-BE group exhibited no significant change. Substantial reductions in total plaque and bleeding indices suggest that using BE toothbrushes can help effectively remove oral biofilms and treat bleeding symptoms.
