Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial effect on Enterococcus Faecalis and physical properties of chitosan added calcium hydroxide canal filling material. Low, medium, high molecular weights of chitosan powder were mixed with calcium hydroxide canal filling material. Also, for each molecular weight group, 1.0, 2.0, 5.0 wt% of chitosan powder were added. An overnight culture of E. faecalis was adjusted to 1 × 106 CFU/ml. For test of antibacterial effect, three different molecular weights of 2.0 wt% chitosan and three different concentrations of high molecular weight chitosan were mixed with calcium hydroxide canal filling material. The absorbance of plates was analyzed using spectrophotometer at 570 nm with a reference wavelength of 600 nm. Physical properties such as flow, film thickness and radiopacity were examined according to ISO 6876 : 2012. All molecular weight type of chitosan containing material showed inhibitory effect against E. faecalis growth compared to non-chitosan added calcium hydroxide canal filling material group (p < 0.05). High molecular weight chitosan containing material showed the most antibacterial effect. Also, the antibacterial effect decreased as the incorporated amount of chitosan decreased (p < 0.05). Every molecular weight group of material containing chitosan had a tendency for reduced flow and radiopacity, increased film thickness according to amount of chitosan. Low molecular weight of 1.0 wt% chitosan addition did not show any significant difference of physical properties compared to conventional calcium hydroxide canal filling material. In conclusion, for reinforcement of antibacterial effect against E. faecalis and for favorable physical properties, 2.0 wt% of chitosan adding is recommended. Considering its antibacterial effect of chitosan, further studies are required for clinical application of chitosan in endodontics and pediatric dentistry.

이 연구의 목적은 키토산 첨가 수산화칼슘 근관 충전재의Enterococcus Faecalis에 대한 항균 효과 및 물리적 성질을 알아보는 것이다. 저, 중, 고분자량의 키토산 분말을 수산화칼슘 근관 충전재와 혼합하였고, 각 분자량 별로 키토산 분말을 1.0, 2.0, 5.0 wt%로 첨가하였다. E. faecalis를 배양하여 1 × 106 CFU/ml로 조정하였다. 항균 효과 실험을 위해 2.0 wt% 키토산의 3가지 다른 분자량, 3가지 다른 농도의 고분자량 키토산을 수산화칼슘 근관 충전재와 혼합하였다. 기준 파장 600 nm인 570 nm에서 분광광도계를 이용하여 상층액의 흡광도를 측정하였다. 유동성, 피막도 및 방사선 불투과성은 ISO 6876 : 2012에 의거하여 측정하였다. 키토산을 포함하는 모든 분자량 유형의 실험군은 키토산을 첨가하지 않은 대조군에 비해 E. faecalis 성장 억제 효과를 보였다. 고분자량 키토산 첨가 군에서 가장 좋은 항균 효과를 보였다(p < 0.05). 또한 키토산 첨가량이 감소할수록 항균 효과도 감소하였다(p < 0.05). 키토산을 함유하는 수산화칼슘 근관 충전재의 모든 분자량 군은 키토산 함량의 증가 따라 유동성 및 방사선 불투과성이 감소하고 피막도가 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 1.0 wt% 저분자량 키토산의 첨가는 기존 수산화칼슘 근관 충전재와 비교하여 물성에 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 연구 결과를 종합하였을 때, 수산화칼슘 근관 충전재에 첨가하여 항균성 강화와 적절한 물성을 얻기 위해선 2.0 wt%의 키토산 분말의 첨가가 적정하다. 키토산의 항균 효과를 고려할 때, 키토산의 근관 치료 및 소아치과 분야에서의 적용을 위한 추가적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료되었다.
