Popis: Aim: Orthodontic brackets during their wear cause demineralization of enamel, which is the initial step in caries development. The prevention of such spots is crucial to ensure healthy teeth, but patients’ compliance is not the most optimal way. The aim of this study was to compare the antimicrobial properties of fluoride-containing orthodontic materials to the materials without additional fluoride. Materials and Methods: Antibacterial effectiveness of orthodontic materials with fluoride – Transbond Plus SEP Bonding agent, Transpond Plus Adhesive agent, Fuji I Band cement, Fuji Ortho LC Adhesive agent, Ortho Solo Bonding agent, and without antimicrobial substances – Transpond XT Bonding agent, Transbond XT Primer were tested with the inhibition on most common causes L. achidophilus (ATCC 4356) and S. mutans (ATCC 10449) and compared to negative control. Antimicrobial effectiveness of each material was measured with the agar diffusion method and expressed with the diameters of inhibition zones around the disk. Results: Materials containing fluoride showed more antimicrobial effectiveness compared to materials without fluoride or negative control (p0.05). Conclusion: Materials containing fluoride showed more significant antimicrobial effectiveness when compared to the materials without antimicrobial substance and thus might have the potential of antimicrobial properties in vivo.
Cilj: Ortodontski breketi tijekom nošenja uzrokuju demineralizaciju cakline, što je početni korak u razvoju karijesa. Prevencija takvih mrlja presudna je za osiguravanje zdravih zuba, ali suradljivost pacijenata nije uvijek optimalna. Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je usporediti antimikrobna svojstva ortodontskih materijala koji sadrže fluorid s materijalima bez dodatnog fluorida. Materijal i metode: Antibakterijsku učinkovitost ortodontskih materijala s fluoridom – Transbond Plus SEP Bonding agent, Transpond Plus ljepilo, Fuji I Band cement, Fuji Ortho LC ljepilo, Orto Solo Bonding agent, i učinkovitost ortodontskih materijala bez antimikrobnih tvari – Transpond XT Bonding agent, Transbond XT Primer, testirali smo s inhibicijom na najčešće uzročne bakterije L. achidophilus (ATCC 4356) i S. mutans (ATCC 10449) i usporedili učinkovitost s negativnom kontrolom. Antimikrobna učinkovitost svakog materijala izmjerena je metodom difuzije agara i izražena promjerom zona inhibicije oko diska. Rezultati: Materijali koji sadrže fluorid pokazali su veću antimikrobnu učinkovitost u usporedbi s materijalima bez fluorida ili u usporedbi s negativnom kontrolom (p < 0,001). Materijali koji ne sadrže antibakterijske tvari nisu se statistički razlikovali u usporedbi s negativnom kontrolom (p > 0,05). Zaključak: Materijali koji sadrže fluorid pokazali su značajniju antimikrobnu učinkovitost u usporedbi s materijalima bez antimikrobne tvari i stoga mogu imati potencijal antimikrobnih svojstava u uvjetima in vivo.
