Effect of Exo/Endogenous Prophylaxis Dentifrice/Drug and Cariogenic Conditions of Patient on Molecular Property of Dental Biofilm: Synchrotron FTIR Spectroscopic Study

(1) Objectives: This study is the first one to investigate the molecular composition of the dental biofilm during the exogenous and endogenous prophylaxis stages (use of dentifrice/drug) of individuals with different cariogenic conditions using molecular spectroscopy methods. (2) Materials and Methods: The study involved 100 participants (50 males and 50 females), aged 18–25 years with different caries conditions. Biofilm samples were collected from the teeth surface of all participants. The molecular composition of biofilms was investigated using synchrotron infrared microspectroscopy. Changes in the molecular composition were studied through calculation and analysis of ratios between organic and mineral components of biofilm samples. (3) Results: Based on the data obtained by synchrotron FTIR, calculations of organic and mineral component ratios, and statistical analysis of the data, we were able to assess changes occurring in the molecular composition of the dental biofilm. Variations in the phosphate/protein/lipid, phosphate/mineral, and phospholipid/lipid ratios and the presence of statistically significant intra-and inter-group differences in these ratios indicate that the mechanisms of ion adsorption, compounds and complexes arriving from oral fluid into dental biofilm during exo/endogenous prophylaxis, differ for patients in norm and caries development. (4) Conclusions: The conformational environment and charge interaction in the microbiota and the electrostatic state of the biofilm protein network in patients with different cariogenic conditions play an important role. (5) Clinical Significance: Understanding the changes that occur in the molecular composition of the dental biofilm in different oral homeostasis conditions will enable successful transition to a personalised approach in dentistry and high-tech healthcare. © 2022 by the authors.

Raman and XANES Spectroscopic Study of the Influence of Coordination Atomic and Molecular Environments in Biomimetic Composite Materials Integrated with Dental Tissue

In this work, for the first time, the influence of the coordination environment as well as Ca and P atomic states on biomimetic composites integrated with dental tissue was investigated. Bioinspired dental composites were synthesised based on nanocrystalline calcium carbonate-substituted hydroxyap-atite (Formula presented) (nano-cHAp) obtained from a biogenic source and a set of po-lar amino acids that modelled the organic matrix. Biomimetic composites, as well as natural dental tissue samples, were investigated using Raman spectromicroscopy and synchrotron X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy. Molecular structure and energy structure studies revealed several important features related to the different calcium atomic environments. It was shown that biomimetic composites created in order to reproduce the physicochemical properties of dental tissue provide good imitation of molecular and electron energetic properties, including the carbonate anion CO32− and the atomic Ca/P ratio in nanocrystals. The features of the molecular structure of biomimetic composites are inherited from the nano-cHAp (to a greater extent) and the amino acid cocktail used for their creation, and are caused by the ratio between the mineral and organic components, which is similar to the composition of natural enamel and dentine. In this case, violation of the nano-cHAp stoichiometry, which is the mineral basis of the natural and bioinspired composites, as well as the inclusion of different molecular groups in the nano-cHAp lattice, do not affect the coordination environment of phosphorus atoms. The differences observed in the molecular and electron energetic structures of the natural enamel and dentine and the imitation of their properties by biomimetic materials are caused by rearrangement in the local environment of the calcium atoms in the HAp crystal lattice. The surface of the nano-cHAp crystals in the natural enamel and dentine involved in the formation of bonds with the organic matrix is character-ised by the coordination environment of the calcium atom, corresponding to its location in the CaI posi-tion—that is, bound through common oxygen atoms with PO4 tetrahedrons. At the same time, on the surface of nano-cHAp crystals in bioinspired dental materials, the calcium atom is characteristically lo-cated in the CaII position, bound to the hydroxyl OH group. The features detected in the atomic and molecular coordination environment in nano-cHAp play a fundamental role in recreating a biomimetic dental composite of the natural organomineral interaction in mineralised tissue and will help to find an optimal way to integrate the dental biocomposite with natural tissue. © 2021 by the authors.

Photodiode read-out of the ALICE photon spectrometer PbWO4PbWO_{4} crystals

Proposal of abstract for LEB99, Snowmass, Colorado, 20-24 September 1999The PHOton Spectrometer of the ALICE experiment is an electromagnetic calorimeter of high granularity consisting of 17280 lead-tungstate (PWO) crystals of dimensions 22x22x180 mm3, read out by large-area PIN-diodes with very low-noise front-end electronics. The crystal assembly is operated at -25C to increase the PWO light yield. A 16.1x17.1 mm2 photodiode, optimized for the PWO emissio spectrum at 400-500 nm, has been developed. The 20x20 mm2 preamplifier PCB is attached to the back side of the diode ceramic frame. The charge sensitive preamplifier is built in discrete logic with two input JFETs for optimum matching with the ~150pF PIN-diode. A prototype shaper has been designed and built in discrete logic. For a detector matrix of 64 units the measured ENCs are between 450-550e at -25C. Beam tests demonstrate that the required energy resolution is reached.Summary:The PHOton Spectrometer of the ALICE experiment is an electromagnetic calorimeter of high granularity consisting of 17280 lead-tungstate (PWO) crystals of dimensions 22x22x180 mm3, coupled to large-area PIN-diodes with matching low-noise preamplifiers. PHOS is optimized for measuring photons, pi0s and eta mesons in the momentum ranges 0.5-10, 1-10 and 2-10 GeV/c, respectively, and is designed for the expected large number of particles that will be produced in central Pb-Pb collisions. Lead tungstate (PWO) is a fast scintillating crystal with a rather complex emission spectrum, consisting of two components: a blue component peaking at 420 nm and a green component peaking at 480-520 nm. The light yield of PWO at room temperature is low compared with other heavy scintillating crystals, for instance BGO. However, the yield depends strongly on the temperature with a coefficient of ~-2 degree. At the selected operating temperature of -25C the yield is about a factor of 3 higher compared to room temperature. Still, in order to reach the required energy resolution for a PHOS channel, an ENC noise of less than 600e for the PIN-diode-preamplifier-shaper stage is required. This is a very low value taking into account the high capacitance of 150-200 pF of the large area PIN-diodes. In collaboration with the PHOS project, the company AME (Horten, Norway) has designed and produced a PIN-photodiode optimized for the cross-section and spectral responsivity of the PHOS PWO crystal. The photodiode has an active area of 17.1x16.1 mm2 and is fabricated on n-type silicon material of thickness 280 um. The wafer specific resistivity is between 3000 and 6000 ohm-cm, which corresponds to a depletion voltage of 70V. The photodiode response is optimized for the spectral region 400-500 nm in order to match the PWO emission spectrum. The PIN-diode is mounted on a ceramic substrate 0.65 mm thick. On this substrate the diode is surrounded by a ceramic frame. The preamplifier PCB of dimension 20x20 mm2 is attached to the back side of the frame. The PIN-diode and bondings to ground and preamplifier input are protected by an optically transparent epoxy layer. The front side of the PIN-diode is glued onto the endface of the PWO crystal with optically transparent glue (Melt-Mount Quick-Stick, Cargille Laboratories, USA). Each crystal is wrapped in White Tyvek to ensure maximum light collection efficiency and optical insulation between the crystals. The PHOS detector consists of four independent modules, each with 4320 channels. The crystal assembly with the photo detectors are operated at -25 +/- 0.3C. The power dissipation per module is ~1 kW. The charge sensitive preamplifier is an operational amplifier built in discrete logic and with two input JFETs (BF861A). Using two JFETs in parallel gives the lowest noise for detector capacitance >100 pF. A prototype shaper, comprising three amplification stages, has been designed and built in discrete logic. For a PIN-diode with capacitance ~150 pF and a leakage current <1 nA under cooling, calculations give optimum time differentiation and integration constants around 3 microsec. For a detector matrix of 64 units the measured ENCs are between 450-550 e at -25C. Beam tests of this matrix show that the required energy resolution for the PHOS is reached

Interferometry of Direct Photons in Central 280Pb+208Pb Collisions at 158A GeV

Two-particle correlations of direct photons were measured in central 208Pb+208Pb collisions at 158 AGeV. The invariant interferometric radii were extracted for 100<K_T<300 MeV/c and compared to radii extracted from charged pion correlations. The yield of soft direct photons, K_T<300 MeV/c, was extracted from the correlation strength and compared to theoretical calculations.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure

Systematics of Inclusive Photon Production in 158 AGeV Pb Induced Reactions on Ni, Nb, and Pb Targets

The multiplicity of inclusive photons has been measured on an event-by-event basis for 158 AGeV Pb induced reactions on Ni, Nb, and Pb targets. The systematics of the pseudorapidity densities at midrapidity (rho_max) and the width of the pseudorapidity distributions have been studied for varying centralities for these collisions. A power law fit to the photon yield as a function of the number of participating nucleons gives a value of 1.13+-0.03 for the exponent. The mean transverse momentum, , of photons determined from the ratio of the measured electromagnetic transverse energy and photon multiplicity, remains almost constant with increasing rho_max. Results are compared with model predictions.Comment: 16 pages including 4 figure
