Antimicrobial behavior of titanium coating with chlorhexidine-doped thin film exposed to a biofilm supplemented with nicotine
Because nicotine upregulates the growth of most oral bacteria, this in vitro study investigated the antimicrobial effect of chlorhexidine-doped thin film on commercially pure titanium against Fusobacterium nucleatum (F. nucleatum) biofilm supplemented with different concentrations of nicotine (0, 1,...

| Sumario: | Because nicotine upregulates the growth of most oral bacteria, this in vitro study investigated the antimicrobial effect of chlorhexidine-doped thin film on commercially pure titanium against Fusobacterium nucleatum (F. nucleatum) biofilm supplemented with different concentrations of nicotine (0, 1, and 2 mg/mL). Biofilms were formed on a chlorhexidine-doped thin film on commercially-pure-titanium discs and compared to the control groups. Biofilm viability, total biofilm growth using a spectrophotometer, extracellular polysaccharide content, and pH variations were assessed as dependent variables. Data were submitted to ANOVA and Tukey honest significant difference tests (α=0.05). F. nucleatum biofilm growth was inhibited when exposed to chlorhexidine-doped thin film (p<0.05). Biofilm supplemented with nicotine did not impact the synthesis of EPS on the same type of treatment (p>0.05). The pH values were significantly increased with the increase of nicotine concentration (p<0.05). Chlorhexidine-doped thin film was effective in reducing F. nucleatum biofilm supplemented with nicotine. |
