Resumo

Introdução: Modelos laboratoriais de biofilmes vêm sendo desenvolvidos com a finalidade de simular o ambiente bucal e o processo de formação da cárie dental.

Objetivo: Estabelecer e padronizar um modelo de biofilme in vitro para o desenvolvimento de lesões de cárie em dentina.

Material e método: Doze discos padronizados de dentina bovina foram divididos em três tempos experimentais: 4, 7 e 10 dias. As amostras de cada tempo experimental foram inoculadas com Streptococcus mutans UA 159 em meio de cultura BHI com 1% de sacarose e cultivadas em anaerobiose. As variáveis de resposta foram a perda de dureza integrada (ΔS) dos discos de dentina e dureza do substrato em diferentes profundidades. Os dados de ΔS foram analisados através de ANOVA seguido do teste Tukey, ambos com significância de 5%, e os dados de dureza de profundidade de lesão analisados descritivamente.

Resultado: Houve maior perda mineral aos 10 dias de crescimento microbiológico quando comparados aos 4 dias (p = 0,034), no entanto não houve diferença entre 7 e 10 dias (p = 0,853). O grupo de 4 dias mostrou perda de dureza em regiões mais superficiais (10-40µm); e o grupo de 10 dias mostrou desmineralização em áreas mais profundas, até 150 µm.

Conclusão: O modelo proposto mostrou-se capaz de desenvolver lesões de cárie artificiais em dentina. Em 7 dias, as lesões subsuperficiais de dentina foram adequadas para estudos de des-remineralização.

Abstract

Introduction: Oral laboratory biofilm models have been developed to reproduce the oral environment and the process of caries lesion formation in vitro.

Objective: To establish and standardize an in vitro biofilm model for the development of caries lesions in dentin.

Material and method: Twelve standardized bovine dentin discs were assigned into three experimental times: 4, 7, and 10 days. Samples of each experimental period were inoculated with Streptococcus mutans UA 159 in a BHI culture medium with 1% sucrose, and cultured under anaerobic conditions. The integrated hardness loss (ΔS) of dentin discs and the hardness of the substrate at different depths were considered as response variables. The ΔS data were analysed by ANOVA followed by Tukey's test, both with significance level of 5%, and the data of hardness at different depths were analysed descriptively.

Result: There was a higher hardness loss after 10 days of microbial growth when compared to 4 days (p = 0.034), however, there was no difference between 7 and 10 days (p = 0.853). The 4-day group showed loss of hardness of the surface layers (10-40μm) and the 10-day group showed demineralization in the deeper area around 150µm.

Conclusion: The proposed model was able to develop artificial caries lesions in dentin. In 7 days, the dentin sub superficial lesions were suitable to des-remineralisation studies.
