Abstract

Annotation. Due to the uncontrolled use of antibiotics, the issue of antibiotic resistance has become vitally important. Search the alternative antimicrobials preparation is urgent question. Despite significant achievements in dentistry, the quality of root canals endodontic treatment remains relevant issue. Enterococcus faecalis is one of the ESKAPE group pathogen as well as one of the most common causative agents of intracanal caries. Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs) have shown high efficacy against several polyresistant strains. Therefore, the purpose of our study was to evaluate the possibility of AgNPs using to create composite dental materials with antimicrobial activity. Statistical processing of the obtained results was performed using the software package for statistical data processing Graph Pud Prism 8 with the definition of the Student's criterion. The antibacterial effect of Ag NPs was evaluated against the clinical strain of E. faecalis by determining the minimum inhibitory concentration (serial dilution method) and the minimum bactericidal concentration (direct inoculation of the microorganism from liquid onto solid media). The influence of AgNPs on the multiplication of the bacterial population and on the processes of biofilm formation were investigated. The MIC and MBC were 2.5 µg / ml. Time-kill curve of E. faecalis strain indicates the need for prolonged contact of microorganisms with the nanosilver preparation and reflect a gradual decrease in the number of bacteria in the sample. AgNPs inhibit the formation of biofilms in the early stages and effectively affect 3-days biofilms. The action of the silver nanoparticles at the initiation stage reduced the total volume of the unformed biofilm by 2 times at concentrations of 10 and 20 MICs. The inhibitory effect of silver on the formed 3-day biofilm was dose-dependent and increased with increasing concentration. The obtained results show AgNPs inhibit the growth and reproduction of planktonic and film forms of E. faecalis and can be used to create dental composite with antimicrobial activity.
