Abstract
PURPOSE. This study investigated the effects of silver nanoparticle (SN) loading into hydraulic calcium silicatebased
Portland cement on its mechanical, antibacterial behavior and biocompatibility as a novel dental bone
substitute. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Chemically reduced colloidal SN were combined with Portland cement
(PC) by the concentrations of 0 (control), 1.0, 3.0, and 5.0 wt%. The physico-mechanical properties of silver-
Portland cement nanocomposites (SPNC) were investigated through X-ray diffraction (XRD), setting time,
compressive strength, solubility, and silver ion elution. Antimicrobial properties of SPNC were tested by agar
diffusion against Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sobrinus. Cytotoxic evaluation for human gingival
fibroblast (HGF) was performed by MTS assay. RESULTS. XRD certified that SN was successfully impregnated in
PC. SPNC at above 3.0 wt% significantly reduced both initial and final setting times compared to control PC. No
statistical differences of the compressive strength values were detected after SN loadings, and solubility rates of
SPNC were below 3.0%, which are acceptable by ADA guidelines. Ag ion elutions from SPNC were confirmed
with dose-dependence on the concentrations of SN added. SPNC of 5.0 wt% inhibited the growth of
Streptococci, whereas no antimicrobial activity was shown in control PC. SPNC revealed no cytotoxic effects to
HGF following ISO 10993 (cell viability > 70%). CONCLUSION. Addition of SN promoted the antibacterial
activity and favored the bio-mechanical properties of PC; thus, SPNC could be a candidate for the futuristic
dental biomaterial. For clinical warrant, further studies including the inhibitory mechanism, in vivo and longterm
researches are still required.
