THE ADHESIVE ACTIVITY OF MICROORGANISMS TO DENTAL MATERIALS FOR 3D PRINTING AND VACUUM FORMING

Relevance: The adhesive activity of the oral microbiome to new generation materials is the subject of study by the global medical community, and the issue of choosing structural materials is still being discussed in the scientific community and is of a controversial nature. Objective: To study the adhesion of representatives of the oral microbiome to samples of modern dental materials under experimental conditions (in vitro). Materials and methods: Samples of photopolymer resins for 3D printing: Dental Crown LCD, Dental Sand A1-A2, Dental Clear Pro, (n=30), (1-3 groups), thermoforming plates for vacuum forming: EV Gasket Bleaching 080, Bioplast multicolor 3.0*123 mm, Bioplast color 3.0*125 mm (n=30), (groups 4-6); clinical isolates of the microbiome as test strains: Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus oralis, Neisseria subflava, Actinomyces oris, Candida albicans (n=5). Research methods: experimental, microbiological, cultural, analytical and statistical. Results: The degree of adhesion of representatives of the oral microbiome to the studied structural materials is in the range from 0 to 4.91 (Ia) and depends on both the species composition of the microbiome and the physico-chemical properties of the materials. The high adhesion index for all microbiota groups was noted for vacuum forming materials (4.91), and the lowest was Dental Crown LCD (0), which makes it possible to recommend it for practical use. Conclusions: The choice of structural material should be made, including taking into account the adhesive activity of the oral microbiome in order to reduce the risk of complications. It is recommended to give preference to materials with a low adhesive activity index.
