| Abstract | Background This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of polydopamine (PDA) functionalization on orthodontic brackets in inhibiting biofilm formation and promoting surface bioactivity to buffer the acidity of caries-causing bacteria around orthodontic brackets and prevent demineralization. The stability of the coating in artificial saliva (AS) and distilled water was evaluated, along with its effect on pH changes in simulated body fluid (SBF) and distilled water. Methods Maxillary incisor orthodontic brackets underwent PDA functionalization using a dopamine hydrochloride solution following a specific protocol. Biofilm formation on both control (Br-0) and coated (Br-PDA) brackets was assessed immediately after coating and after two months of aging (Aged Br-PDA) in artificial saliva. The adherent biofilm bacteria on brackets were quantified with colony count assessment and optical density. Surface morphology, Bioactivity, and coating stability were analyzed using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Coated and uncoated samples were immersed in SBF and deionized water, and pH changes were monitored over 7 days using a pH meter. Results PDA-functionalized brackets, both freshly coated (1.08 OD) and aged for two months (1.6 OD), showed significantly reduced biofilm formation compared to non-functionalized control brackets (2.07 OD), with p-value < 0.05. This reduction was confirmed through optical density measurements and colony-forming unit (CFU) counts (1.63E + 06, 4.53E + 07, and 7.56E + 07 respectively, p-value < 0.05). SEM analysis revealed alterations in surface morphology and composition, suggesting enhanced biointeraction in the coated brackets. Stability assessments in artificial saliva and deionized water demonstrated the durability of the coating. pH measurements indicated minimal changes in SBF and water, with PDA-functionalized brackets showing slight alterations. Conclusions Our research findings suggest that PDA-functionalized brackets possess promising antimicrobial properties and stability, offering potential applications in orthodontic treatment to mitigate biofilm formation and prevent white spot lesions around orthodontic brackets. Further investigation is required to optimize the coating formulation and explore its long-term efficacy in clinical settings. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
