| Abstract | |
Studies have been conducted in order to prevent biofilm formation on biomaterials or seek alternative therapies for the treatment of diseases caused by biofilm installation. As an alternative therapy, this study evaluated (1) the cytotoxicity of photodynamic therapy (PDT) by the use of co-cultured human keratinocytes with Candida albicans (Ca). In relation to prevention of biofilm formation, (2) the cytotoxicity was evaluated nanoparticles (NP) silver tungstate (Ag2WO4) and silver molybdate (Ag2MoO4), in solution and as a biomaterial coating. In study 1, the co-culture was performed using a Transwell membrane, and cells in which micro-organisms grown separately for 24 h, and were in contact for a further 24h.After this period, PDT was performed using curcumin as a photosensitizer. The following conditions were tested: P+ L+; P- L+; P+ L; P- L. In addition, as a negative control, three membranes of each plate were assigned only to the growth of microorganisms and another three wells for cell growth separately with respective means. Cell proliferation was evaluated by testing the Alamar Blue, MTT, XTT, and CFU. For the study 2, the NP were synthesized and characterized by scanning electronic microscopy and X-ray diffraction. Since the making of the NP, they were made solutions and the titanium coating (Ti), zirconium (Zi), acrylic resin (RA) and silicon (Si). To perform the cytotoxicity assay, 100 µL of suspension composed of 1.5 x 104 cells / mL (HaCaT) were placed in each compartment of a plate with 96 wells, incubated in an incubator with 5% CO2 at 37 ° C for 24 hours. After this incubation period, the culture medium was discarded, remaining adhered cells at the bottom of the wells. 100 µL of culture medium containing the nanoparticles in solution and the extracts were placed on each plate hole. The plate was incubated for another 24 hours. Cell proliferation was assessed using the Alamar ... (Complete abstract electronic access below) (AU) | |
