Abstract

This study proposed different methods of incorporating nanostructured silver vanadate (AgVO3) into an acrylic resin and evaluated the pattern of incorporation promoted, antimicrobial capacity, mechanical performance, the rate of release of silver ions (Ag) and vanadium (V) and cytotoxity. AgVO3 was incorporated in the fractions of 0-5%, by means of two methodologies, (I) Vacuum Spatulation and (II) Polymeric Film Technique. The characterization of the specimens was performed by scanning electron microscopy and microanalysis (SEM / EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The antimicrobial capacity was evaluated by genetic pyrosequencing and the mechanical performance by flexural strength and impact tests. The release rate of Ag and V was analyzed by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and cytotoxity by the MTT method. Descriptive statistical analysis was performed for the microbiological test. Data from the mechanical analyzes were analyzed by 2-way ANOVA with multiple comparisons with Bonferroni adjustments and the other by Kruskal-Wallis followed by Dunn\'s post-test and the Mann-Whitney test. The level of significance was &alpha;=0.05. There was a difference in the dispersion pattern promoted by the two methods. The incorporation method had little influence on the microbiota however, the incubation time and the presence of AgVO3 promoted changes in the taxonomic profile at the level of filo and genus. The addition of AgVO3 reduced the flexural and impact strength of the resins (p<0.001) and the polymeric film technique promoted better flexural strength (p<0.001). Greater release of Ag and V was observed in the group with 5% of AgVO3 (p<0.05). In general, there was no influence of AgVO3 concentration and incorporation method on the viability of human gingival fibroblasts (p>0.05), but the time of contact with the materials was inversely proportional to the viability (p<0.05). It was concluded that it was possible to incorporate AgVO3 into the acrylic resin by means of the two methodologies proposed, with sifference in the distribution pattern. There are differences in the diversity of the initial and mature oral biofilm formed on the surface of the resins and the results suggest that the incorporation of AgVO3 influences the colonizing microbiota. The reduction of mechanical properties may be clinically acceptable and the results of elemental release and cytotoxicity do not preclude the use of the materials obtained, although other tests are recommended (AU)
