- Abstract
Dentin hypersensitivity (DH) is one of the most common clinical conditions usually associated with exposed dentinal surfaces. In this study, we identified the effectiveness of poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimer-coated mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticles (MBN) (PAMAM@MBN) on DH treatment, examining the ion-releasing effect, dentin remineralization, and the occluding effect of dentinal tubules. We synthesized MBN and PAMAM@MBN. After soaking each sample in simulated body fluid (SBF), we observed ion-releasing effects and dentin remineralization effects for 30 days. Also, we prepared 30 premolars to find the ratio of occluded dentinal tubules after applying MBN and PAMAM@MBN, respectively. The results showed that PAMAM did not disrupt the calcium ion-releasing ability or the dentin remineralization of MBN. The PAMAM@MBN showed a better occluding effect for dentinal tubules than that of MBN (p < 0.05). In terms of dentinal tubule occlusion, the gap between MBN was well occluded due to PAMAM. This implies that PAMAM@MBN could be effectively used in dentinal tubule sealing and remineralization.
