Abstract

Purpose

The objective of this in situ study was to quantify the intraoral biofilm reduction on bracket material as a result of different surface modifications using silver ions. In addition to galvanic silver coating and physical vapor deposition (PVD), the plasma immersion ion implantation and deposition (PIIID) procedure was investigated for the first time within an orthodontic application.

Materials and methods

An occlusal splint equipped with differently silver-modified test specimens based on stainless steel bracket material was prepared for a total of 12 periodontally healthy patients and was worn in the mouth for 48 h. The initially formed biofilm was fluorescently stained and a quantitative comparative analysis of biofilm volume, biofilm surface coverage and live/dead distribution of bacteria was performed by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM).

Results

Compared to untreated stainless steel bracket material, the antibacterial effect of the PIIID silver-modified surface was just as significant with regard to reducing the biofilm volume and the surface coverage as the galvanically applied silver layer and the PVD silver coating. Regarding the live/dead distribution, however, the PIIID modification was the only surface that showed a significant increase in the proportion of dead cells compared to untreated bracket material and the galvanic coating.

Conclusions

Orthodontic stainless steel with a silver-modified surface by PIIID procedure showed an effective reduction in the intraoral biofilm formation compared to untreated bracket material, in a similar manner to PVD and galvanic silver coatings applied to the surface. Additionally, the PIIID silver-modified surface has an increased bactericidal effect.
