Description

Root canal disinfection paste and preparation method thereof

Technical Field

The invention belongs to the field of biomedical disinfection materials, and particularly relates to an antibacterial agent combined root canal disinfection paste for root canal treatment and a method for preparing the paste.

Background

Root canal therapy is the most fundamental and effective method for treating endodontic diseases and periapical diseases at present, and the key point of successful treatment is to thoroughly eliminate microorganisms and metabolites thereof in a root canal system and then create an environment which is not beneficial to the survival of the microorganisms. Mainly by mechanical preparation, chemical flushing, and sealing in the root canal.

It was shown that primary and secondary infections in root canals were mixed infections of various bacteria and fungi, and that students isolated 32 genera, 47 strains in infected root canals. Wherein the obligate anaerobe is the main dominant bacterium, and the facultative anaerobe is the second. These bacteria are mostly present in the form of biofilm in root canals, and are more difficult to remove than plankton, and research shows that the bacteria are 1000-1500 times more resistant to drugs than plankton. These bacteria can also penetrate into the concealed parts of the root canal system, such as dentinal tubules, lateral branches of the root canal, etc., increasing the difficulty of removing microorganisms. In the root canal of secondary infection, enterococcus faecalis is the main dominant bacterium, which can survive in adverse environment, and the secondary bacterium is streptococcus digestions, porphyrins, candida, actinomyces, etc.

At present, the methods of disinfection and sterilization in the root canal mainly used clinically include root canal sealer, ultrasound, photodynamic, etc., but the most widely used method is root canal sealer. Calcium hydroxide is the most commonly used disinfectant in root canals. After years of clinical use, the calcium hydroxide has good biocompatibility and antibacterial property and low cost. However, research also finds that calcium hydroxide has certain limitations, such as limited antibacterial spectrum, incapability of playing a role of sterilization on some intractable microorganisms (such as enterococcus faecalis and the like) in infected root canals, reduction of antibacterial effect of dentin protein, limitation of penetration depth and speed to hidden parts of root canals, weakening of mechanical strength of dentin, difficulty in removal from root canal walls and the like.

Berberine (BBH), also known as Berberine, is a benzylisoquinoline alkaloid, is an active ingredient of many herbs such as coptis chinensis, barberry and phellodendron amurense, is a natural medicine and has a series of pharmacological properties. The berberine has wide antibacterial activity, and has good antibacterial activity for some common and intractable bacteria infected by dental pulp, such as enterococcus faecalis, fusobacterium nucleatum, porphyromonas gingivalis, prevotella intermedia, melanin Lei Wojun, treponema denticola, porphyromonas undecomposed, actinomyces and the like; has the functions of inducing the repair of the hard tissues around the root tip and the continuous development of the tooth root; has low toxicity and mutagenicity to human cells. At present, no report exists on preparing a root canal disinfection paste based on berberine. However, an in vitro experiment has been carried out to study the inhibition effect of berberine as a root canal flushing fluid on enterococcus faecalis, but the result shows that the inhibition effect of berberine when used alone is not as good as that of the root canal flushing fluid commonly used in clinic such as sodium hypochlorite, chlorhexidine and the like. This result is similar to another study, in that bacteria still grow when acted on floating enterococcus faecalis alone, and need to be combined with other agents to exert an inhibitory effect on enterococcus faecalis. Therefore, the present invention aims to achieve the antibacterial effect due to the conventional endodontic disinfection paste by using berberine in combination with other antibacterial agents.

Chitosan (CS) is a polysaccharide consisting of glucosamine and N-acetyl glucosamine, which is deacetylated from chitin found in the shells of crustaceans. CS has antibacterial activity against a variety of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, and its antibacterial effect depends on its molecular weight and degree of deacetylation. CS has good biocompatibility and is a good drug carrier, and can slowly and stably release the active ingredients of the drug. The addition of the gel of CS improves the injectability and consistency of the composite. Research shows that CS has a killing effect on enterococcus faecalis in a planktonic state, but has a reduced antibacterial activity on enterococcus faecium in a biofilm state, and the bacteria still survive for 72 hours after the action. In addition, since CS needs to be dissolved by acid, the acidity of CS can cause degradation of dentin, which is also a disadvantage that the CS needs to be overcome when being used in the root canal. One study finds that the antibacterial effect of CS on enterococcus faecalis is not better than that of calcium hydroxide which is a clinically common root canal disinfection paste, but CS does not have the defect that calcium hydroxide reduces the biomechanical property of dentin. Therefore, the invention takes CS as an auxiliary component of the berberine root canal sterilization paste, hopefully utilizes the antibacterial action of the berberine to enhance the antibacterial activity of the berberine and overcome the disadvantages caused by the acidity of a CS solvent, and also hopefully avoids the defect that the traditional calcium hydroxide root canal sterilization paste causes the reduction of the biomechanical property of dentin.

PEG is a synthetic high molecular polymer, is one of the most commonly used carriers in root canal medicaments, and can increase the solubility and antibacterial activity of berberine hydrochloride. It has very low toxicity, high solubility and very low immunogenicity and antigenicity. BaSO ₄ Is a common anti-radiation agent in root canal therapy materials, has no toxicity, and is often prepared into barium meal serving as a contrast agent of the digestive tract, baSO ₄ Not only can enhance the X-ray opacity, but also can increase the viscosity of the paste.

Then, mixing the following components in a liquid phase: mixing the solid phase components =2ml, stirring for 1h by a magnetic stirrer at a speed of 800r/min, and blending into uniform paste; then, the pH of the paste was adjusted to 7 with a 1% NaOH solution to obtain a berberine hydrochloride root canal sterilizing paste having a BBH effective concentration of 0.2 g/mL. The paste was aspirated into a 1ml syringe (FIG. 1) and stored at 4 ℃.

Example 3.

The invention adopts PEG400 solutions of BBH with different concentrations to perform bacteriostatic activity experiments on enterococcus faecalis.

1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256mg of BBH powder was weighed and dissolved using PEG400 as a solvent to prepare BBH solutions of 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256 mg/mL.

The solutions of each group were subjected to the antibacterial activity test (FIGS. 4-1 and 4-2), and the results are shown in Table 1. . 1. No inhibitory zone appears in BBH solutions of 2, 4 and 8mg/mL, and no antibacterial activity exists. 16. The average inhibition zone of 32 and 64mg/mL BBH solutions is less than 10mm, and enterococcus faecalis is not sensitive to the BBH solutions with the concentrations. The average zone of inhibition for 128mg/mL BBH solution was between 10-15mm, and the sensitivity of enterococcus faecalis to BBH solution of this concentration was considered to be intermediate. The mean zone of inhibition of BBH solution at 256mg/mL >15mm, and enterococcus faecalis is considered highly sensitive to BBH solutions of this concentration. And compared with other groups, the 128 and 256mg/mL groups have obvious difference in bacteriostatic effect, and the bacteriostatic effect between the two groups is also obvious (P is less than 0.05).

Comparative example 1.

Two parts of 64mg BBH powder are weighed and dissolved by PEG400 and sterile aqueous solution respectively to prepare BBH solution with the concentration of 64mg/mL, and the PEG solution, the aqueous solution of BBH, the PEG400 solution and the sterile aqueous solution of BBH are subjected to antibacterial experiments respectively, and the results are shown in Table 2. PEG400 showed a certain antibacterial effect when used as a solvent for BBH, and did not show any antibacterial effect when used as a solvent for BBH in a sterile aqueous solution (FIG. 5-1). The antibacterial activity assay alone did not show any antibacterial effect without the addition of BBH to both solvents (fig. 5-2). It was demonstrated that BBH can exert antibacterial activity when solubilized using PEG400, and that its antibacterial activity is produced by BBH.

Comparative example 2.

Using the root canal disinfectant paste calcium hydroxide paste which is the most commonly used root canal disinfectant paste in clinical practice as a control group, the antibacterial activity against enterococcus faecalis was compared for different concentrations of BBH root canal disinfectant paste (prepared as in example 1 and example 2, BBH concentrations of 0.1g/mL and 0.2g/mL, respectively). The antibacterial effect is measured by a filter paper diffusion method, the diameter of the inhibition zone is measured after 7 days, the measurement is repeated three times, and an average value is obtained.

1. In vitro antibacterial experiments:

detection of root canal Disinfection pastes (BBH) prepared in examples 1 and 2 by Filter paper sheet diffusion method ₁ And BBH ₂ Group) has inhibitory activity against enterococcus faecalis in vitro, and Calcium Hydroxide (CH) paste, which is the most commonly used root canal disinfectant paste in clinic, is used as a control group (denoted as CH group), and sterile water is used as a blank control group.

Enterococcus faecalis ATCC29212 (enterococcus faecalis, E.faecalis) was placed in a blood dish for activation culture for 24 hours at an incubation temperature of 37 ℃. The next day, a single colony on a blood-taking plate with an inoculating loop is placed in a TSB culture medium, and is cultured for 24 hours at the constant temperature of 37 ℃ and 180r/min in a shaking incubator, which is the first generation. The bacterial liquid is inoculated into a TSB culture medium according to the proportion of 1. The operation is repeated the next day and is transmitted to the third generation, and the obtained liquid of the enterococcus faecalis is used for the next experiment.

Respectively taking 100uL of bacterial suspension, inoculating the bacterial suspension to an MRS agar plate culture medium, uniformly coating, standing for about 15min, and drying until no macroscopic liquid exists on the surface of the culture medium. Placing a filter paper piece with the diameter of 6mm on the surface of the agar by using a sterile forceps, and lightly pressing by using the forceps to ensure that the filter paper piece is completely contacted with the surface of the agar. The centre-to-centre spacing of the individual sheets should be greater than 24mm and the centre of the sheets should be greater than 15mm from the edge of the plate. Each set of pastes was injected one drop each onto the surface of the paper and spread evenly. The plate was incubated in a 37 ℃ incubator for 7 days. The medicine contained in the paper sheet can continuously diffuse to the area around the paper sheet to form a decreasing concentration gradient, the growth of the bacteria to be detected in the bacteria inhibition concentration range around the paper sheet is inhibited, so that a transparent bacteria inhibition zone is generated, after 7 days, the diameter of the bacteria inhibition zone is measured by a vernier caliper cross method, and the average value is repeatedly obtained for 3 times

The experimental results are as follows: the inhibition zones of 0.1g/mL, 0.2g/mL berberine root canal disinfectant paste and calcium hydroxide paste control groups are respectively 11.34 + -0.28 mm, 14.65 + -0.14 mm and 6.54 + -0.22 mm (figure 6). The root canal sterilization paste containing berberine hydrochloride of 0.2g/mL has the best antibacterial effect, and the root canal sterilization paste containing berberine hydrochloride of 0.1g/mL has the second best antibacterial effect, and the diameters of the antibacterial zones are obviously different from those of the calcium hydroxide paste group and the sterile water group, and are also obviously different from each other (figure 7). The calcium hydroxide paste group has weak bacteriostatic action, and the sterile water group has no bacteriostatic effect at all. Therefore, we selected 0.2g/mL berberine hydrochloride root canal sterilizing paste for subsequent experiments.

2. Physical and chemical property tests of the material:

and (3) testing the pH value: the pH value of the berberine hydrochloride root canal disinfection paste is detected by a pH test paper (on the left in figure 3) and is read to be between 7 and 8 by comparing with a pH ratio card (on the right in figure 3).

And (3) testing the injectability: the berberine hydrochloride paste for disinfecting the root canal is filled into a 1ml syringe, and is injected by using a needle head with the same type as the calcium hydroxide, the paste can be smoothly ejected by using the similar force, and the ejected state is continuous and occasionally drops.

X-ray opacity: 6 extracted third molars were collected in the alveolar surgery, prepared for opening the marrow and root canal, and then a berberine hydrochloride root canal disinfectant paste (fig. 2 left) and a strong calcium oxide paste (fig. 2 right) were injected into the root canal, and the apical lamella was photographed to compare the X-ray radiation resistance thereof.

3. Material security detection

Primary culture of human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) and human dental pulp stem cells (hdscs):

taking complete and healthy premolars (excluding standard: deciduous teeth, premolars with caries or defects, age > 25 years, systematic medical history, periodontal disease and poor oral hygiene) which need to be extracted due to orthodontics in the saisi oral hospital, giving informed consent to patients, scraping periodontal ligament tissue and dental pulp tissue of 1/3 of tooth tips, and uniformly inoculating the tissues in a 25cm < 2 > culture dish for primary culture. When the cells are fused to 70-80%, 0.25% trypsin is used for digestion and passage.

Preparation of a drug eluent: taking 24 individual tubes of in vitro premolars, scraping out periodontal membranes and dental calculus around roots, opening marrow in the coronal direction, uncovering the apical part of a pulp chamber, trimming the coronal direction of each tooth, ensuring that the length of each tooth is 15mm, extracting the marrow, determining the working length, preparing the conventional root canal of each tooth to a Protaper rotary nickel titanium file F2 by a coronal-down technology, flushing by using 1% NaClO solution for each file replacement, and fully flushing by using 5mL of physiological saline solution after the preparation is completed. After the teeth were sterilized, 12 were used as experimental groups and 12 were used as control groups. The root canal of the experimental group was filled with berberine hydrochloride paste of 0.2g/mL, the root canal of the control group was filled with calcium hydroxide paste, and the coronal blocking was performed with glass ionomer cement. The teeth were placed upright in a 5ml EP tube containing 1ml DMEM medium, the root tips were immersed in the DMEM medium (FIG. 8, left), and stored in a 37 ℃ constant temperature and humidity incubator. The experimental groups (marked as B) were taken at 1 day, 7 days, 14 days and 21 days, respectively ₁ 、B ₇ 、B ₁₄ 、B ₂₁ Group, upper right of fig. 8) and control group (each designated as CH) ₁ 、CH ₇ 、CH ₁₄ 、CH ₂₁ Panel, right bottom of fig. 8) were subjected to cytotoxicity assay.

In vitro cytotoxicity test: the generation 3 logarithmic growth phase hPDLSCs and hDPSCs were used to evaluate the cytotoxicity of the experimental and control groups. The 96-well plate was previously supplemented with 0.1mL of DMEM medium (Shanghai-derived leaf Biotech Co., ltd.) to be 2X 10 ⁴ Inoculating each well in 96-well plate, culturing for 1d, adding 100uL berberine root canal sterilizing paste and calcium hydroxide paste to obtain eluent, and setting 1 blank control group (without any medicine), each group having 6 duplicate wells. 2 time points (24 h and 48 h) were set. To avoid cell contamination when measuring absorbance, 1 96 well cell culture plate was used at each time point. A total of 2 plates. And (3) sucking out the original culture medium of each well before measuring the absorbance at each time point, adding 10 mu L of CCK-8 reagent into each well while replacing the fresh culture medium, placing the wells into an incubator to continue to culture for 1 hour, and immediately measuring the OD value of each well by using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay detector at the wavelength of 450 nm. The final results were calculated as the average of 6 well plates and the relative cell proliferation was calculated: relative Growth Rate (RGR)% = OD value of experimental/control group ÷ OD value of blank control group × 100%, see table 4.

Table 4: relative cell proliferation rate (%, X + -S) of hDPSCs and hPDLSCs by each eluent

The experimental results are as follows: the eluent of berberine hydrochloride root canal sterilization paste at 1, 7, 14 and 21 days has no obvious toxicity to PDLSCs (figure 9 a) and DPSCs (figure 9 b) at 24h and 48 h. The eluent of the calcium hydroxide paste has no obvious toxicity to PDLSCs and DPSCs at 24h, but the eluents of the calcium hydroxide paste at 7 days, 14 days and 21 days have toxicity to PDLSCs and DPSCs at 48h, but only the 21-day group has obvious toxicity compared with a control group, and the relative proliferation rate of cells of the 21-day group is obviously reduced compared with that of other groups.

Therefore, the calcium hydroxide is not suitable for being used for too long time in the root canal, otherwise toxicity is generated on periapical tissues, the berberine hydrochloride root canal disinfection paste is mild in property, and cytotoxicity does not occur after the calcium hydroxide is used for 3 weeks, so that the berberine has the potential of being applied to infected root canal disinfection.

The specific method of use of the root canal sterilizing paste of the present invention is as follows:

when the method is used for disinfecting the root canal, the paste is injected into the root canal by using an injector, then the coronal sealing is carried out by using a temporary filling material (such as zinc oxide resin cement, glass ion cement and the like), the coronal sealing material and the paste in the root canal are removed after the sealing is carried out for 1-2 weeks, and then the subsequent root canal filling is carried out.

The above embodiments are described in more detail and specifically, but the invention is not limited thereto. It should be noted that, for a person skilled in the art, several variations and modifications can be made without departing from the inventive concept, which falls within the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present patent should be subject to the appended claims.
