Silver diamine fluoride(SDF)는 우식의 정지를 위해 사용될 수 있는 효과적이고 경제적인 약제로, 협조가 힘든 환자나 의과적인 문제로 치료를 받기 힘든 경우 등에서 사용될 수 있다. 이 연구는 타액 생물막을 이용하여 SDF 의 항미생물효과를 평가하고자 시행되었다. 타액을 이용하여 획득피막 유사 구조를 형성한 후, 타액과 Streptococcus mutans를 첨가하여 우식원성의 타액 생물막을 형성하였다. 타액 생물막에 SDF 를 처리한 결과, 전체 미생물과 S. mutans의 수가 유의하게 감소하였다(p < 0.000). CLSM에서도 생물막 내 죽은 세포가 증가하였다. 유치 법랑질과 상아질 시편에 SDF를 처리한 후 우식원성의 생물막을 배양한 결과, SDF 를 처리할 경우 생물막 형성이 저해되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다(p = 0.029). 연구 결과 SDF의 뛰어난 항미생물효과를 확인할 수 있었으며, 이로 인한 임상에서의 항우식효과를 기대할 수 있다.

Purpose: The reaction of cells to a titanium implant depends on the surface characteristics of the implant which are affected by decontamination. The aim of this study was to evaluate the cytocompatibility of titanium disks treated with various decontamination methods, using salivary bacterial contamination with dental pellicle formation as an in vitro model. Methods: Sand-blasted and acid-etched (SA) titanium disks were used. Three control groups (pristine SA disks [SA group]; salivary pellicle-coated SA disks [pellicle group]; and biofilm-coated, untreated SA disks [NT group]) were not subjected to any decontamination treatments. Decontamination of the biofilm-coated disks was performed by 14 methods, including ultrasonic instruments, rotating instruments, an air-powder abrasive system, a laser, and chemical agents. MG63 cells were cultured in the presence of the treated disks. Cell proliferation assays were performed on days 2 and 5 of cell culture, and cell morphology was analyzed by immunofluorescence and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). A vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) assay was performed on day 5 of culture. Results: The cell proliferation assay revealed that all decontaminated disks, except for the 2 groups treated using a plastic tip, showed significantly less cell proliferation than the SA group. The immunofluorescence and SEM analyses revealed that most groups showed comparable cell density, with the exception of the NT group, in which the cell density was lower and bacterial residue was observed. Furthermore, the cells grown with tetracycline-treated titanium disks showed significantly lower VEGF production than those in the SA group. Conclusions: None of the decontamination methods resulted in cytocompatibility similar to that of pristine SA titanium. However, many methods caused improvement in the biocompatibility of the titanium disks in comparison with the biofilm-coated, untreated titanium disks. This suggests that decontamination is indispensable for the treatment of peri-implantitis, even if the original biocompatibility cannot be restored.
