Abstract

Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of a complex of polyamide-amine dendrimer (PAMAM) and chlorhexidine gluconate (CG) on remineralization of dentin in an artificial simulated resin dentin bonding microenvironment.

Methods: The structure of this complex was characterized by FT-IR. Twelve standard dentin samples were randomly divided into four treatment fluid groups namely a PAMAM group, CG group, PAMAM + CG group, and deionized water group. A microenvironmental mineralization model was established with 50 µm gap width between resin and dentin. The dentin surface was observed by a scanning electron microscope (SEM), and the chemical structure of the surface was analyzed by X-ray energy spectrum (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and laser Raman spectroscopy.

Results: SEM showed the density of dentinal tubules exposed in the PAMAM group decreased after a 14-day immersion, with corn rod-shaped crystal structures gathered around the tubules. In addition, visible mineralization occurred in partial areas of the CG group, rod-shaped crystals and in comparison, dentinal tubules in the PAMAM + CG group were almost completely covered by flaky crystal structures. Raman spectrum analysis showed that crystals formed by PAMAM, CG, and PAMAM + CG solution all had strong phosphate characteristic peaks, indicating the presence of hydroxyapatite (HA), that of the PAMAM + CG group was the strongest. The EDS results showed that the Ca and P levels of the PAMAM group and the CG group were slightly higher than those of the deionized water group, while PAMAM + CG group significantly higher than the others, Ca/P value approaching 1.67. The results of XRD showed the characteristic peaks of hydroxyapatite detected by the PAMAM + CG group at 2θ=26.0 (002), 2θ=32.0 (211), and 2θ=33.0 (112) were high and sharp, with a few diffraction line burrs indicating it had high crystallinity and purity. The Scherrer equation results showed that the appearance and size of the grains formed by the PAMAM + CG group were basically consistent with those of healthy dentin.

Conclusions: Altogether, the compound of polyamide-amine dendrimer and chlorhexidine could induce the remineralization of human dentin in a resin dentin bonding microenvironment with a gap of 50 µm to form a crystal structure similar to dentin hydroxyapatite.
