Printing to Fight Antimicrobial Resistance Through Nano/Microstructured Platforms

The Chemical Record, EarlyView.
Additive manufacturing enables the rational design of structured antimicrobial platforms across multiple length scales, from nanofibrous scaffolds and droplet microreactors to 3D and 4D printed constructs. By engineering confinement, interfacial chemistry, and stimuli‐responsive release, these systems exert localized action through complementary ...

investigating acid production by Streptococcus mutans with a surface-displayed pH-sensitive green fluorescent protein. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Acidogenicity and aciduricity are the main virulence factors of the cavity-causing bacterium Streptococcus mutans. Monitoring at the individual cell level the temporal and spatial distribution of acid produced by this important oral pathogen is central ...

Nonthermal plasma approaches for combating implant‐associated infections: A compendious review

VIEW, EarlyView.
Implant‐associated infections pose serious clinical challenges. Non‐thermal plasma (NTP) modifications overcome this bottleneck in distinct ways relative to traditional sterilization methods. Gas‐phase plasmas generate highly energetic species, UV radiation and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS), which alter the implant surface properties.

Antimicrobial Properties of Biofunctionalized Silver Nanoparticles on Clinical Isolates of Streptococcus mutans and Its Serotypes

Nanomaterials, 2016
(1) Background: Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) is the principal pathogen involved in the formation of dental caries. Other systemic diseases have also been associated with specific S. mutans serotypes (c, e, f, and k).

Surface Physical and Mechanical Properties of Short Fibre Reinforced Composite Resins in Direct Restorative Dentistry: A Systematic Review

Australian Dental Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Short Fibre Reinforced Composite resins may be used to restore odontogenic tissues and have enhanced physical and mechanical properties compared with conventional resins. However, their surface characteristics remain a concern, and this has limited their use as direct dental restorative materials.

Potential Applications of Nano Silver Fluoride in the Prevention of Dental Caries in Older Adults: A Scoping Review

Gerodontology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Dental caries remains highly prevalent in older adults and represents a growing public health concern due to increased tooth retention, polypharmacy, hyposalivation and functional limitations. Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) is widely used for caries arrest in this population but causes undesirable tooth staining. Nano Silver Fluoride

Deficiency of dltD contributes to increased autolysis in Streptococcus mutans

Journal of Oral Microbiology
Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) is one of the major etiological agents of dental caries. Interfering with the expression of genes associated with cariogenicity of S. mutans is an effective ecological approach for caries prevention.

In vitro Cariostatic effects of cinnamon water extract on nicotine-induced Streptococcus mutans biofilm

BMC Complementary Medicine and Therapies, 2020
Background Dental caries is one of the most prevalent chronic oral diseases worldwide. Dental caries is mainly associated with Streptococcus mutans and the Lactobacillus species. A specific relationship was found between nicotine and S.
