Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Antibacterial agents with good antibacterial effects, such as nano silver, amine salt, and calcium phosphate, have a growth inhibition on common pathogenic bacteria in the mouth. Recently, it is a hot issue to make antimicrobial composite resins by adding the antibacterial agents to the composite resin.
OBJECTIVE: To summarize recent studies on antimicrobial composite resin.
METHODS: Databases of CNKI, PubMed, Wanfang, VIP, Web of Science, and Nature from January 1995 to May 2012 were searched by computer with key words of “composite resin, antibacterial agent, silver ion, amine salt, calcium phosphate” both in Chinese and English. Literatures concerning antibacterial agents and antimicrobial composite resin were included, and repetitive research was excluded.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Antibacterial agents are classified into natural, organic, inorganic, polymer agents. Currently, antimicrobial composite resins carrying nano sliver, amine salt, and calcium phosphate are often reported. The vivo and vitro experiments show that the composite resin with antibacterial agents has good antibacterial properties, which can inhibit the growth of bacteria, reduce the occurrence of recurrent caries, and prolong the in-service life of the prosthesis, and its physical and chemical properties have no apparent changes. In the latest study, the composite resin has better antibacterial properties and mechanical functions by addition with all kinds of antibacterial agents, which will be the main direction of studying the novel antimicrobial composite resin in the future.
