Possibilities of Gutta-Percha–centered Infection in Endodontically Treated Teeth: An In Vitro Study
چکیده انگلیسی

IntroductionImplanted biomaterials could provide surface for bacterial adherence and formation of biofilm, eventually leading to biomaterial-centered infections (BCIs). In this in vitro study, we examined the biofilm-forming capacity of Enterococcus faecalis on gutta-percha (GP) points under different nutrient status and surface conditioning with saliva and serum.MethodsGP points (n = 420) coated with different root canal sealers (Sealapex or Roth) were conditioned with saliva or serum for 2-, 4-, and 12-week intervals and subsequently were incubated with E. faecalis for 2 weeks under nutrient-rich and nutrient-deprived environments. The biofilm-forming capacity and the nature of biofilm formed on GP were assessed by using a viable cell assay and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).ResultsE. faecalis produced biofilms on GP points (with and without root canal sealers) under both nutrient-rich and nutrient-deprived environments after conditioning with saliva or serum. SEM reflected that the biofilms formed under nutrient-rich conditions were regular, whereas the biofilms formed under nutrient-deprived conditions were irregular and scanty. Under nutrient-deprived conditions, longer conditioning periods in saliva or serum were required for bacterial adherence.ConclusionsUnder the conditions of this study, saliva and serum conditioning of GP points plays an important role in the biofilm formation under tough environmental conditions.
