Porosity of temporary denture soft liners containing antifungal agents

Incorporation of antifungals in temporary denture soft liners has been recommended for denture stomatitis treatment; however, it may affect their properties. Objective: To evaluate the porosity of a tissue conditioner (Softone) and a temporary resilient liner (Trusoft) modified by minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of antifungal agents for Candida albicans biofilm. Material and Methods: The porosity was measured by water absorption, based on exclusion of the plasticizer effect. Initially, it was determined by sorption isotherms that the adequate storage solution for specimens (65×10×3.3 mm) of both materials was 50% anhydrous calcium chloride (S50). Then, the porosity factor (PF) was calculated for the study groups (n=10) formed by specimens without (control) or with drug incorporation at MICs (nystatin: Ny-0.032 g, chlorhexidine diacetate: Chx-0.064 g, or ketoconazole: Ke-0.128 g each per gram of soft liner powder) after storage in distilled water or S50 for 24 h, seven and 14 d. Data were statistically analyzed by 4-way repeated measures ANOVA and Tukey's test (α=.05). Results: Ke resulted in no significant changes in PF for both liners in water over 14 days (p>;0.05). Compared with the controls, Softone and Trusoft PFs were increased at 14-day water immersion only after addition of Ny and Chx, and Chx, respectively (p;0.05). In all experimental conditions, Softone and Trusoft PFs were significantly lower when immersed in S50 compared with distilled water (

Effect of incorporation of antifungal agents on the ultimate tensile strength and porosity of temporary soft denture liners

Este estudo investigou a resistência à tração (ou limite de resistência à tração- LRT) e a porosidade de reembasadores resilientes temporários modificados por concentrações inibitórias mínimas (CIMs) de agentes antifúngicos para o biofilme Candida albicans (SC5314). Para os testes de LRT, corpos de prova em forma de halteres (n=7) com uma área transversal de 33 mm x 6 mm x 3 mm foram produzidos para os materiais resilientes (Trusoft e Softone) sem (controle) ou com incorporação de cinco fármacos em suas CIMs: nistatina- 0,032 g; diacetato de clorexidina- 0,064; cetoconazol- 0,128 g; miconazol- 0,256 g; itraconazol-0,256 g (grama de fármaco por grama de pó de material resiliente). Após a plastificação, as amostras foram imersas em água destilada a 37°C durante 24 h, 7 e 14 dias e, então, testadas em tensão em uma máquina universal de ensaios (EMIC DL-500 MF) a 40 mm/min. A porosidade foi mensurada por absorção de água, com base na exclusão do efeito plastificante. Inicialmente, determinou-se por isotermas de sorção, que a solução de armazenagem adequada para os corpos de prova (65 mm x 10 mm x 3,3 mm) de ambos os materiais foi o cloreto de cálcio anidro a 50% (S50). Assim, o fator de porosidade (FP) foi calculado para os grupos de estudo (n=10) formados por espécimes sem (controle) ou com incorporação de fármaco em suas CIMs (nistatina, clorexidina ou cetoconazol) após a armazenagem em água destilada ou S50 por 24 h, 7 e 14 dias. Os dados de resistência à tração (MPa) e percentagem de alongamento (%) foram submetidos à ANOVA de 3 fatores seguida pelo teste de Tukey (=0,05). Os dados de porosidade foram analisados estatisticamente por ANOVA de medidas repetidas para 4 fatores e teste de Tukey (=0,05). Ao final de 14 dias, a resistência à tração para ambos os materiais foi significativamente menor nos grupos modificados pelo miconazol e itraconazol em relação aos outros grupos (P0,05). Após 7 e 14 dias em água, o miconazol e itraconazol adicionados a ambos os materiais resultaram em percentagens significativamente menores de alongamento em comparação com os outros fármacos e ao controle (P0,05). O cetoconazol não resultou em alterações significativas no FP para ambos os materiais resilientes em água ao longo de 14 dias (P>0,05). Em comparação aos controles, houve aumento dos FPs do Softone e Trusoft aos 14 dias de imersão em água somente após a adição de nistatina e clorexidina e de clorexidina, respectivamente (P0,05). Em todas as condições experimentais, os FPs do Softone e Trusoft foram significativamente menores quando imersos em S50 em comparação com a água destilada (P0.05). After 7 and 14 days in water, miconazole and itraconazole added into both materials result in significant lower elongation percentages compared to the other drugs and control (P0.05). Ketoconazole resulted in no significant changes in PF for both liners in water over 14 days (P>0.05). Compared to the controls, Softone and Trusoft PFs were increased at 14-day water immersion only after addition of nystatin and chlorhexidine, and chlorhexidine, respectively (P0.05). In all experimental conditions, Softone and Trusoft PFs were significantly lower when immersed in S50 compared to distilled water (P<0.05). It was concluded that the addition of the nystatin, chlorhexidine and ketoconazole at MICs for C. albicans biofilm resulted in no harmful effects on the ultimate tensile strength and elongation percentage of the temporary soft denture liners up to 14-day period. The addition of antifungals at MICs resulted in no detrimental effects for the porosity of both temporary soft liners in different periods of water immersion, except for chlorhexidine and nystatin in Softone and chlorhexidine in Trusoft at 14 days. No deleterious effect was observed for the porosity of both soft liners modified by the drugs at MICs over 14 days of S50 immersion

Effect of the incorporation of antimicrobial agents on the physical properties of temporary resilient materials for denture base relining

O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar o efeito da adição de mínimas concentrações inibitórias (MCIs) de agentes antimicrobianos para biofilme de Candida albicans na sorção de água e solubilidade de materiais resilientes temporários (Softone e Trusoft) para reembasamento de próteses removíveis. Os grupos de estudo (n=10) foram formados por corpos de prova circulares (50 mm x 0,5 mm) dos materiais sem (controle) ou com a incorporação das MCIs de três fármacos utilizados para tratamento de estomatite protética: nistatina (Ni)-0,032g/mL; diacetato de clorexidina (Cl)- 0,064g/mL; cetoconazol (Ce)- 0,128g/mL. Para determinar a sorção de água e solubilidade, as amostras foram dessecadas, imersas em água por 24 h, 7 ou 14 dias, pesadas, dessecadas e pesadas novamente. Os dados obtidos (&#x3BC;g/mm3) foram analisados por ANOVA 3 fatores e teste de Tukey (&#x3B1;=0,05). Comparado aos respectivos controles, a sorção de água dos dois materiais avaliados aumentou com a adição de nistatina e clorexidina após 24 h e 7 dias de imersão em água (P0,05) pela adição dos fármacos (Softone: Ni- 310,72 ± 55,00 &#x3BC;g/mm3; Ce- 202,13 ± 52,28 &#x3BC;g/mm3/ Trusoft: Ni- 320,26 ± 22,89 &#x3BC;g/mm3; Ce: 300,45 ± 69,49 &#x3BC;g/mm3; Cl: 331,01 ± 48,18 &#x3BC;g/mm3) em comparação aos respectivos controles (Softone: 244,00 ± 42,00 &#x3BC;g/mm3; Trusoft: 274,85 ± 83,12 &#x3BC;g/mm3). Para todos os grupos, o tempo de imersão aumentou (P0,05). Em relação aos controles e para todos os períodos, a solubilidade dos dois materiais foi alterada com clorexidina e cetoconazol (P0,05). Foi possível concluir após 14 dias de imersão em água, a adição das MCIs de nistatina e cetoconazol nos dois materiais resilientes e de clorexidina no Trusoft não interferiu com a sorção de água. A solubilidade dos dois materiais temporários testados não foi alterada pela nistatina em até 14 dias de avaliação.The objective of the present study was to evaluate the addition of minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of antimicrobial agents for C. albicans biofilm on the water sorption and solubility of temporary resilient materials (Softone e Trusoft) for denture base relining. Test groups (n=10) were formed by disc specimens (50 mm x 0.5 mm) of the materials without (control) or with incorporation of the MICs of three drugs for denture stomatitis\' treatment: nystatin (Nt)- 0.032g/mL; chlorhexidine diacetate (Cl)- 0.064g/mL; ketoconazole (Kt)- 0.128g/mL. To determine the water sorption and solubility, samples were dried, immersed in water for 24 h, 7 or 14 days, weighed, dried and weighed again. Data (&#x3BC;g/mm3) were analyzed by 3-way ANOVA and Tukeys test (&#x3B1;=.05). Compared to the respective controls, the water sorption of the two materials evaluated increased with the addition of nystatin and ketoconazole after 24 h and 7 days of water immersion (P.05) by the addition of the drugs (Softone: Nt- 310.72 ± 55.00 &#x3BC;g/mm3; Kt- 202.13 ± 52.28 &#x3BC;g/mm3 / Trusoft: Nt- 320.26 ± 22.89 &#x3BC;g/mm3; Kt: 300.45 ± 69.49 &#x3BC;g/mm3; Cl: 300.45 ± 69.49 &#x3BC;g/mm3) compared to the respective controls (Softone: 244.00 ± 42.00 &#x3BC;g/mm3; Trusoft: 274.85 ± 83.12 &#x3BC;g/mm3). For all groups, the immersion time increased (P.05). In comparison to the controls, and for all periods the solubility of the both materials was affected with chlorhexidine and ketoconazole (P.05). It can be concluded that after 14 days of water immersion the addition of MICs of nystatin and ketoconazole in the both resilient materials and chlorhexidine in the Trusoft did not affect the water sorption. The solubility of the two temporary materials tested was not altered by nystatin up to 14 days
