AbstractObjectives: Eugenol has been used in dentistry due to its ability to inhibit the growth of a range of microorganisms, including facultative anaerobes commonly isolated from infected root canals. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial activity of the experimental composites containing eugenyl methacrylate monomer (EgMA), a polymeric derivative of eugenol, against a range of oral bacteria, commonly associated with failure of coronal and endodontic restorations. In vitro composite behaviour and wettability were also studied in conjunction with their antibacterial activity.

Recent approaches in designing bioadhesive materials inspired by mussel adhesive protein

“…Additionally, catechol forms pH responsive complex with boronic acid, which can act as a temporary protecting group in a basic aqueous solution 138, 139. Similarly, triethylsilane has also been used for protection of hydroxyl (—OH) and methyl ether side chains of a natural phenolic compound, eugenol,140 which has antimicrobial, antifungal, antioxidant, and anti‐inflammatory properties141, 142, 143 and has widely been studied for dental applications 144, 145…”

Biological and antibacterial properties of a new silver fiber post: In vitro evaluation

“…The incorporation of antimicrobial components into root canal sealers may become an essential factor in preventing the re-growth of residual bacteria (6,21). Similarly, recent studies have demonstrated that the addition of antibacterial agents within polymerizable formulations can provide a novel approach to prepare reinforced resin composite material for intracanal post cementation and core build-up (8). …”

“…For the same reasons, some recent studies have evaluated the antibacterial activity of resin composites for intracanal post cementations and core build-up restorations (7,8). …”

Influence of a light‐activated glaze on the adhesion of Streptococcus sanguinis to the surface of polymers used in fabrication of interim prostheses

“…20 readings were recorded for each specimen: 10 with deionized water (polar component) and 10 with diiodomethane (dispersive component). A goniometer (Ramé‐Hart 100‐00; Ramé‐Hart Instrument) with software (DROP image Standard; Ramé‐Hart Instrument) was used for this measurement …”

“…A goniometer (Ramé-Hart 100-00; Ramé-Hart Instrument) with software (DROP image Standard; Ramé-Hart Instrument) was used for this measurement. 23 All specimens were cleaned ultrasonically in distilled water and 70% propanol for 10 minutes after both the roughness and surface energy assays. They were then sterilized in an autoclave at 121°C for 15 minutes, 24 using the technique described by Barão et al for subsequent microbiological analysis.…”
