Biofilms

1.9K
Biofilms are complex communities of microorganisms encased in a self-produced extracellular polysaccharide matrix attached to surfaces. These microbial consortia can include single or multiple species, providing enhanced survival benefits by forming organized, multilayered structures.The formation of biofilms occurs through four key stages: attachment, colonization, development, and dispersal.During attachment, free-swimming planktonic cells adhere to a surface, often facilitated by...

Ionic Crystal Structures

20.8K
Ionic crystals consist of two or more different kinds of ions that usually have different sizes. The packing of these ions into a crystal structure is more complex than the packing of metal atoms that are the same size.
Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...

Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Science
  • Materials Chemistry
  • Biomineralization

Background:

  • Bioactive glasses (BGs) bond to hard and soft tissues by forming an apatite layer.
  • Fluoride ions (F(-)) are bone anabolic factors that increase bone mass and mineral density.
  • Fluoride enhances BG's antibacterial properties and resistance to acid attack.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the chemistry of fluoride-containing bioactive glasses (FBGs).
  • To examine the influence of F(-) incorporation on thermal properties, bioactivity, and cytotoxicity.
  • To explore novel FBG compositions for improved mechanical and bioactive potential.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on FBG chemistry and properties.
  • Analysis of F(-) incorporation methods, including CaF2 formation.
  • Evaluation of FBG effects on osteoblast proliferation, differentiation, and mineralization.

Main Results:

  • FBGs enhance osteoblast activity and control mineralization.
  • Fluoride incorporation influences thermal properties, bioactivity, and cytotoxicity.
  • FBGs show potential for dentinal tubule occlusion and treating dentin hypersensitivity.

Conclusions:

  • FBGs offer enhanced bioactivity and therapeutic potential compared to traditional BGs.
  • Fluoride incorporation is a promising strategy for developing advanced bioactive materials.
  • FBGs are suitable for diverse clinical applications, including bone regeneration and dental treatments.
