Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Teeth are complex structures composed of hard tissue (enamel, dentin, and cementum) and soft tissue (dental pulp) which undergo various demineralization and remineralization processes in the oral cavity. Remineralization of teeth has been studied for a long time because demineralization may cause destruction of dental hard tissues. Bioactive glass (BAG) is a well-known, effective material for tissue remineralization. It has excellent bioactivity to hard and soft tissues, and thus, numerous studies has been published on its preparation, characterization, and application. Conventional melt-quenching BAG is not appropriate for use in dentistry due to its large particle size. However, the advancement of preparation techniques via various sol–gel processing methods has made its particle size suitable for dentistry, such as a dental restorative material, remineralizing agent, coating material for dental implants, as well as pulp capping, root canal treatment, air abrasion, etc. This Special Issue invites studies on the use of BAG in dentistry, with the aim to offer readers a comprehensive view of the effect of BAG and the possibility of its clinical use.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of novel bioactive glass (BAG)-containing desensitizers on the permeability of dentin. Experimental dentin desensitizers containing 3 wt% BAG with or without acidic functional monomers (10-MDP or 4-META) were prepared. A commercial desensitizer, Seal & Protect (SNP), was used as a control. To evaluate the permeability of dentin, real-time dentinal fluid flow (DFF) rates were measured at four different time points (demineralized, immediately after desensitizer application, after two weeks in simulated body fluid (SBF), and post-ultrasonication). The DFF reduction rate (ΔDFF) was also calculated. The surface changes were analyzed using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). Raman spectroscopy was performed to analyze chemical changes on the dentin surface. The ΔDFF of the desensitizers containing BAG, BAG with 10-MDP, and BAG with 4-META significantly increased after two weeks of SBF storage and post-ultrasonication compared to the SNP at each time point (p < 0.05). Multiple precipitates were observed on the surfaces of the three BAG-containing desensitizers. Raman spectroscopy revealed hydroxyapatite (HAp) peaks on the dentin surfaces treated with the three BAG-containing desensitizers. Novel BAG-containing dentin desensitizers can reduce the DFF rate about 70.84 to 77.09% in the aspect of reduction of DFF through the HAp precipitations after two weeks of SBF storage. Full article
