As an alternative conventional dental composites, we developed them containing PGMA and functional
nanoparticles to eliminate periodontal disease causing bacteria. Also, the silica(SiO2) nanoparticles
enables the composite to prevent oral pathogen growth during orthodontic therapy. The epoxy functional
SiO2 nanoparticles modified with triazole and aminotetrazol in order to obtain azol functional SiO2
molecules via ring opening of the epoxy ring. FT-IR, SEM, DSC, mechanical test, antibacterial test and
TGA analysis were confirmed the functionalization of SiO2.
Human are brush their teeth in order to prevent plaque and provide for good oral hygiene. However
various oral bacteria still remain on the oral cavity. Therefore, these residual microorganisms may cause
tooth diseases [1]. Treatment of tooth diseases, composites are significant materials which are becoming
more durable with advances in the filler particles, monomer matrices, improved adhesive systems, and
polymerization devices. Commercial dental restorative composite materials generally consist of three
ingredients. The first ingredient is an organic phase with an initiator, diluents, pigments and stabilizers.
The second ingredient consists of an inorganic phase such as colloidal silica, glass powder, or quartz.
The third ingredient is an interfacing phase acting as a coupling agent between the organic monomer
system and inorganic filler material [2].
Failure of dental composite to perform is often due to failure in layer interface. The wetting ability of
the adhesive is essential to the formation of a quality bond. The difference in the free energies of the
adhesive and solid surface dictates the manner of interaction. High energy surface is easily wetted, while
low energy surface causes the adhesive to bead up on the surface. For optimal wetting solid surface
energy should be maximized by surface treatments, which are usually able to expose charged groups or
other high energy structures on the surface being treated [3]. Although the main reasons for failures of
dental composite are usually going on mechanical fatigue, and development of caries lesions adjacent
to restorations, the presence of residual microorganisms along the cavity margins or interfaces is
inarguably a component playing a role on the development of secondary caries. As a result of this dental
composite should provide restoratives materials with antibacterial potential [4]. Current studies are a
special emphasis on antibacterial materials for dental applications to control the formation of biofilms
within the oral cavity [5]. Bacterial biofilm can be decisive in the formation and progression of periimplantitis,
so inhibiting or decreasing the bacterial colonization of the implant surface in order to reduce
biofilm formation is important for the treatment of peri-implantitis. Functional SiO2 nanoparticles are
highly effective for active molecules with different effects on cells and bacteria such as induction of cell
proliferation, cell differentiation, or antibacterial properties. Azol units may also induce such biological
effects by themselves [6]. Although widely employed approach is to incorporate quaternary ammonium
based monomers into the resin formulas, the antimicrobial effects of the resulting resins were rather
weak. Another option is to use antimicrobial inorganic fillers which are entrapped in the crosslinked
polymers to provide antimicrobial functions [2].
Antibacterial activity of dental adhesives have been made either by the addition of soluble antimicrobial
agents, or immobilisation of antibacterial components in the matrix. Nonetheless, the release of
antibacterial agent could incline an unfavorable effect on mechanical properties, toxicity and short-term
antibacterial effectiveness whilst, the immobilisation of antimicrobial agents frustrates or reduces
colonisation of contacted bacteria without leaching out from the material, resulting in long-lasting
antibacterial activity without unfavorable effects on mechanical properties and bonding characteristics.
PGMA and MMA polymers containing quaternary ammonium groups exhibit bactericidal activity [7].
