He also expressed gratitude to the businesses supporting the initiative contributing to making this sporting event a day of solidarity passing through the municipalities of Guía de Isora Sports Councillor for Guía de Isora praised Rafael Delgado’s dedication and assured full municipal support for the logistics and development of the event He highlighted that "this event is unique in its commitment and social responsibility towards those affected by breast cancer." Mayor Ana Dorta also applauded the efforts of volunteers and sponsors recognising their role in organising the second edition of Pedaleando por la Vida She described the initiative as "an outstanding example of community solidarity and voluntary participation in causes that impact and matter to society as a whole." Registrations Open and Growing Participation with organisers aiming to surpass last year’s participation which saw 280 cyclists across different age and gender categories President of the Carrera por la Vida Foundation including the Government of the Canary Islands and Tenerife Cabildo She stressed that "every pedal stroke raises awareness about the importance of self-examinations and gynaecological check-ups as key measures for early detection and reducing the impact of the disease." Cyclists and supporters alike are invited to take part in this meaningful event combining sport and solidarity to fight breast cancer Delgado-Ruiz joined colleagues from around the country to discuss funding for these two important programs with their federal representatives and congressional staff During a meeting with staff of Rep. Nick LaLota Delgado-Ruiz urged the congressman to work with colleagues to support the Senate’s FY24 proposed funding level of not less than $42,673,000 for HRSA’s Title VII Oral Health Training Programs to improve critical access to quality dental care Delgado-Ruiz requested that the Congressman support the Senate’s proposed FY24 funding level of $520,163,000 for NIDCR “If the Title VII Oral Health Training Programs are not funded robustly a significant unmet need will continue to exist for oral health care in America especially among vulnerable and underserved populations,” said Delgado-Ruiz the US will struggle to develop new groundbreaking pain therapies and advance this invaluable science for patients.” Delgado-Ruiz also mentioned how SBU’s School of Dental Medicine works to support the local community through several critical outreach efforts including a mobile dental clinic Thanks to HRSA’s Oral Health Training Program were educated in oral health care and over 700 post-doctoral residents received advanced training in pediatric HRSA estimates that 73 million Americans live in dental shortage areas and our nation needs more than 12,000 additional practitioners to close the gap NIDCR is the only federal entity with a research mission to eradicate oral diseases and improve the oral health and well-being of the nation SBU’s Office of Federal Relations worked closely with Delgado-Ruiz on this advocacy effort and continues to fight for each of SBU’s federal priorities and website in this browser for the next time I comment Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value" This site uses Akismet to reduce spam.

- 2024 | https://doi.org/10.3389/froh.2024.1506616 Introduction: Previous studies have shown Streptococcus mutans (S mutans) esterase is a key mediator of dental composite biodegradation This study is to investigate the inhibitory effects of a novel Chemically-Modified-Curcumin (CMC 2.24) on esterase activities and related dental material biodegradation Methods: Dental adhesive materials and composite resins were incubated in S mutans suspension with CMC 2.24 and other compounds The pre- and post-incubation surface roughness were evaluated by either laser diffraction pattern and/or a 3D laser scanning microscope Esterase enzyme inhibition assays were performed with the same test groups and activities were determined spectrophotometrically CMC 2.24 significantly reduced surface roughness of dental composite (p < 0.01) and adhesive (p < 0.01) materials compared to bacteria-only group CMC 2.24 reduced porcine esterase activity by 46.5% while other compounds showed minimal inhibition CMC 2.24 showed inhibition of 70.0% while other compounds showed inhibition ranging from 19% to 36% Conclusion: Our study demonstrated that CMC 2.24 inhibited biodegradation of dental composite material more effectively than its mother compound the mechanism of this biodegradation was likely mediated through bacterial esterase activity Doxycycline achieved similar inhibition by completely eradicating S are in need for the management of dental caries the aim of this project is to determine the inhibitory effect of CMC 2.24 on the biodegradation mediated by Streptococcus mutans and the mechanism of action of this bacterial degradation new and more efficient treatment options for management of carious lesions will be developed and it will change our approach to preventing secondary caries or restoration failures MW: 427 g/mol) was synthesized and provided by Chem-Master Intl MW: 371 g/mol) was provided by Collagenex Pharmaceuticals mutans strain 700610 (UA159) was purchased from ATCC® (Manassas All other chemical reagents were purchased from Sigma Chemical Co Dental composite (3M™ Filtek™ Supreme Ultra USA) disks (8 mm in diameter and 1 mm in height) were made and light-cured against mylar matrix to produce a smooth surface mutans was inoculated in 50 ml Brain Heart Infusion broth (BHI The bacteria density of this overnight culture was measured with a spectrophotometer (Bio-Rad SmartSpec 3,000 USA) and diluted to 0.08OD with BHI for the incubation The composite disks were then incubated with the bacteria culture in BHI for 4 weeks in the presence of 5 μM of curcumin A negative control group with only sterile BHI media was also included Groups were in triplicates to eliminate bias (n = 3) A prior minimum inhibitory concentration assay was conducted to determine that doxycycline BHI media and experimental compounds were replenished every 48 h The biofilm on the disks was preserved during aspiration of waste media and no new S mutans was inoculated after the initial inoculation The biofilm was wiped off prior to the roughness measurement Surface roughness of the composite disks before and after the incubation was measured with a 3D scanning laser microscope (Keyence VK-100X USA) and analyzed by VK MultiFileAnalyzer software Six random spots on each disk surface were chosen to measure the roughness the standard deviation of the height distribution of a given surface area was used as the parameter to quantify the roughness change Dental adhesive (3M™ Adper™ Scotchbond USA) disks (3 mm in diameter and 2 mm in height) were formed in a Teflon ring and light-cured against mylar matrix Same incubation protocol was used as the composite degradation assay with S All chemical compounds were prepared and used at 5 μM A negative control group with no bacteria was also included and subsequently the phase difference can be computed at a point x The phase difference is then used to determine the roughness of the adhesive disc as follows: φ(x) is the phase difference of the speckle pattern k is the wave number of the incident light and n is the refractive index of the object This process is all computed via a MATLAB program developed in-house In order to determine the inhibition of the compounds against pure esterase enzyme porcine liver esterase (Sigma Aldrich E3019 prepared right before the experiment with potassium phosphate buffer was incubated with the esterase specific substrate p-nitrophenyl butyrate (p-NPB with 5 μM of aforementioned chemical compounds as experimental groups (n = 3) Enzyme activity was determined by a spectrophotometer (Molecular Devices USA) at 405 nm throughout the incubation period In order to determine the inhibitory effect of the compounds against S mutans suspension was prepared in BHI overnight to reach the desired concentration BHI media was aspirated and replaced with potassium phosphate buffer it was incubated in p-NPB for 12 h with the same experimental groups The same spectrophotometer was used to monitor the activity during the incubation at 405 nm 2-tailed paired t-test was used to determine any statistical significance between the test groups and the control group meaning any p-values less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant there was no disturbance in bacterial biofilm formation for all groups except the doxycycline group Since 5 μM doxycycline is at the antimicrobial level mutans growth was inhibited starting from the second day of incubation until the 28th day Roughness change obtained with a 3D scanning laser microscope (square mean height) of the composite (a) and adhesive (b) disk surfaces and effective roughness obtained with the laser diffraction pattern (c) after 4-week incubation with S Optical photos captured with Laser microscope for composite (a) and adhesive (b) disks before and after 4-week incubation with S curcumin and doxycycline against pure porcine esterase activity at 5th and 10th min after incubation mutans esterase activity at 5th and 10th hour after incubation In evaluating the degradation and surface roughness of adhesive materials two detection methods were employed: 3D scanning laser microscopic analysis and laser speckle diffraction pattern analysis No previous studies have used both methods together to analyze the roughness of dental materials This study provides new insights into the evaluation and measurement of dental material roughness by combining the two techniques The 3D scanning laser microscope is primarily used to evaluate surfaces while the laser speckle diffraction pattern analysis is limited to transparent objects using data from one method to verify the results from the other offers a significant advantage Minor discrepancies were observed between the results from the two methods likely due to variations in the collection points across the disk surface the slight differences in outcomes can be attributed to the use of distinct reading areas with different equipment the laser diffraction pattern analysis provided an additional means of observing and measuring changes in roughness CMC 2.24 also showed the greatest inhibition against porcine esterase and S confirmed that the inhibition of composite degradation by CMC 2.24 doxycycline did not inhibit porcine esterase activity at all mutans esterase was mostly due to its antibiotic nature If this esterase inhibition is the major inhibitory contributor toward the decreased biodegradation of dental composite material it would represent a novel approach to preventing the formation of recurrent caries Further research studies are needed to validate an appropriate concentration that ensures both efficacy and safety for its reliable use which demonstrate the caries prevention capabilities of CMC 2.24 have uncovered yet another potential application for this compound CMC 2.24 has the potential to reduce the degradation of composite material at the interface between the tooth and the restoration thereby preventing the separation between the two This novel mechanism proposed could transform the way clinicians manage secondary decay In our previous studies, CMC 2.24 has demonstrated the safety and efficacy in numerous animal studies. Future clinical trials will be needed to evaluate its safety and efficacy in human (36, 37). However, as it's derived from a natural product like curcumin, it can potentially be easier for patients to accept. One common aspect of these studies was that the systemic administration of CMC 2.24 through oral ingestion (38) This study on caries prevention has opened another approach for the application of this novel CMC Topical application with toothpaste or mouth rinse containing CMC 2.24 can be an efficient delivery mechanism to prevent recurrent caries This study demonstrated that CMC 2.24 more effectively inhibited biodegradation of dental composite material than its mother compound the mechanism of this inhibition of biodegradation was likely through inhibiting bacterial esterase activity This novel CMC exhibited significant therapeutic potential for decreasing recurrent caries by stabilizing the tooth-restoration interface from S The raw data supporting the conclusions of this article will be made available by the authors The author(s) declare financial support was received for the research This study was supported by Stony Brook University Research Foundation: P1050308 A37298;
