Summary

The hypothesis is that Addition of copper or zinc nanoparticles to a dental adhesive confers antimicrobial and enzymatic degradation-resistant properties, retaining its adhesion mechanical properties and biocompatibility. To corroborate this hypothesis two groups of a dental adhesive doped with copper or zinc nanoparticles should be develop with a respective structural characterization by SEM-EDX, AFM and FTIR. This should be followed by a test of the antimicrobial activity of adhesive and a study of the influence of adhesive nanocomposites on matrix metalloproteases levels and/or activity in vitro to determine some concentrations more relevant. These would proceed to next stage. With the selected adhesive doped concentrations should be evaluate mechanical properties of doped adhesives and assess the biocompatibility by assays in primary cultured gingival fibroblast and cells type odontoblasts. Finally, once the concentration of either Cu- or Zn-doped adhesives is known, these will be evaluated with a clinical design phase in an in vivo model to study antimicrobial properties, matrix metaloproteases levels and/or activity. We will also study biocompatibility of adhesive nanocomposites and mechanical properties to corroborate the in vitro and ex vivo properties determined. There are results using copper nanoparticle on biomaterials that corroborates some properties such as antimicrobial activity against various species and copper release. All the evidence suggests that at low concentrations of copper nanoparticles, there are no significant effects on mechanical properties but with added antibacterial properties on the adhesive
