Potencial antibacteriano dos flavonoides e desenvolvimento de uma resina composta experimental a base de flavonoide

Abstract

Flavonoids can be considered phytopharmaceutical substances, that is, they are obtained in nature and have benefits to human health. Some of these benefits are related to the cardiovascular system, chronic diseases such as diabetes, and oral disorders as periodontitis and dental caries. Thus, the objectives of the present study were: to analyze the antibacterial effects of different flavonoids against bacteria related to periodontal disease and dental caries through a scoping review; to evaluate the physicalchemical properties of an experimental resin composite with naringin addition. For the scoping review, nineteen articles were included, all in vitro studies. For bacteria related to periodontal disease, proanthocyanidins isoliquiritigenin, liquiritigenin, galangin, quercetrin, taxifolin, chrysin, diosmetin, quercetin, myricetin, naringin, apigenin, catechins, luteolin, morin and rutin were investigated. For bacteria related to dental caries, baicalein, naringenin, catechin, isoliquiritigenin, liquiritigenin, myricetin, quercetin and kaempferol have been investigated. Bacteriostatic, bactericidal and antibiofilm activity were predominantly reported. For the development of an experimental composite, naringin was added in concentrations of 5, 10 and 15mM. Laboratory tests were conducted to evaluate the flexural strength and flexural modulus, color change, sorption and solubility, and the cytotoxicity of these composites, compared to the control group without flavonoids addition. Data were analyzed for normality and homoscedasticity. Flexural strength, flexural modulus, water sorption, water solubility, a* and C* parameters, and 24-hour cytotoxicity were analyzed by one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey's test. L*, b* and WID were analyzed by Welch ANOVA followed by Dunnett's T3 test, as the data were heteroscedastic. While the 48h and 72h cytotoxicity was analyzed by the Kruskal Wallis and Dunn test, because the data were not normally distributed and heteroskedastic. The scope review demonstrated a potential action of flavonoids on bacteria related to caries and periodontal disease, with potential development of new therapies and new restorative materials. The experimental composites with naringin addition did not show cytotoxicity and did not demonstrate deleterious effects in terms of physicochemical properties, despite promoting a change in the final color of the resin.
