“…Given the actual context of alarming increasing prevalence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria [ 11 , 12 ], particular attention was oriented on developing new antimicrobial formulations. For example, extracts of acacia gum [ 13 , 14 ], cinnamon [ 15 , 16 ], clove [ 17 , 18 ], cumin [ 19 , 20 ], lavender [ 21 , 22 ], oregano [ 23 , 24 ], rosemary [ 25 , 26 ], sage [ 27 , 28 ], tea tree [ 29 , 30 ] and thyme [ 31 , 32 ] were reported as promising alternatives to combat the growth of planktonic microorganisms, as well as the formation and development of bacterial biofilms.…”

The present study reports on the development and evaluation of nanostructured composite coatings of polylactic acid (PLA) embedded with iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4) modified with Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus globulus) essential oil. The co-precipitation method was employed to synthesize the magnetite particles conjugated with Eucalyptus natural antibiotic (Fe3O4@EG), while their composition and microstructure were investigated using grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS). The matrix-assisted pulsed laser evaporation (MAPLE) technique was further employed to obtain PLA/Fe3O4@EG thin films. Optimal experimental conditions for laser processing were established by complementary infrared microscopy (IRM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) investigations. The in vitro biocompatibility with eukaryote cells was proven using mesenchymal stem cells, while the anti-biofilm efficiency of composite PLA/Fe3O4@EG coatings was assessed against Gram-negative and Gram-positive pathogens.

Objective: The current study was conducted to investigate the effect of essential oil (EO) modification of glass ionomer cement (GIC) on antibacterial activity and compressive strength.Methods: A total of 100 specimens were prepared; 50 specimens for the antibacterial activity test (3 mm x 2 mm) and 50 specimens for the compressive strength test (4 mm x 6 mm). Specimens were divided into five groups (n=10) according to the type of the essential oil used in modification of GIC; Group 1: unmodified glass ionomer cement (control group); Group 2: 2.5% bergamot modified GIC; Group 3: 2.5% peppermint modified GIC Group 4: 2.5% lemongrass modified GIC and Group 5: 2.5 % fennel modified GIC. Antibacterial activity was assessed using agar diffusion test. Compressive strength test was performed using universal testing machine. Data were tabulated and statistically analyzed.Results: Bergamot modified GIC recorded the highest mean inhibition zone, followed by fennel, then lemongrass and peppermint. The lowest mean value was revealed by the control group. Regarding compressive strength results, control group showed the highest mean value, followed by lemongrass, then peppermint and bergamot. The lowest mean value was recorded by fennel modified GIC. Conclusion:Essential oil modification of GIC was effective in enhancing the antibacterial activity although it adversely affects compressive strength in comparison to the control group. Lemongrass and peppermint essential oil modification of GIC were effective in improving antibacterial property while preserving an acceptable compressive strength according to the ISO standards.

Repairing tooth defects with dental resin composites is currently the most commonly used method due to their tooth-colored esthetics and photocuring properties. However, the higher than desirable failure rate and moderate service life are the biggest challenges the composites currently face. Secondary caries is one of the most common reasons leading to repair failure. Therefore, many attempts have been carried out on the development of a new generation of antimicrobial and therapeutic dental polymer composite materials to inhibit dental caries and prolong the lifespan of restorations. These new antimicrobial materials can inhibit the formation of biofilms, reduce acid production from bacteria and the occurrence of secondary caries. These results are encouraging and open the doors to future clinical studies on the therapeutic value of antimicrobial dental resin-based restoratives. However, antimicrobial resins still face challenges such as biocompatibility, drug resistance and uncontrolled release of antimicrobial agents. In the future, we should focus on the development of more efficient, durable and smart antimicrobial dental resins. This article focuses on the most recent 5 years of research, reviews the current antimicrobial strategies of composite resins, and introduces representative antimicrobial agents and their antimicrobial mechanisms.
