APJ ABDUL KALAM UNIVERSITY, BYPASS ROAD, ARANDIA VILLAGE, POST JHALARIA, INDORE (M.P) – 452016 @ [email protected], Tel- +918827666607 ABSTRACT- The main objective of the project was to develop a dental implant for the patients suffering from oral gingivitis caused by bacterial infection, trauma etc. Person suffering from Gingivitis has chance to miss the medication during travel. For optimization of formula for the gel six batches were taken in which different amount of drug and polymer were added and observation were recorded. Six batches of gel were prepared by changing the polymer ratio. Six batches of gel were prepared by changing the polymer ratio. Three batches consist of carbopol whereas three batches consist of chitosan. Triclosan was added in all gel was subjected to in-vitro characterization it was observed that the in case batches containing chitosan, the gel formed by hazy and it contain come particulate matter also whereas the gel formed in case of carbopol were clear. Formulation f1 and f2 were less viscous and gel did not formed completely whereas formulation f4, f5, and f6, the gel formed was also less viscous as well as hazy. This could be due to the incorporation of chitosan in f4, f5, and f6 formulation which derived from chitin and it may not imbibe large amount of water to result in formulation of efficient gel. Obtained formula (f3) was characterized and it was found that viscosity of gel (f3) was highly viscous whereas drug content was 91.48 %. The gel was subjected to in-vitro drug release it was found that 59% drug was released in the end of 72 hr. This may be due to the efficient gel forming capacity of carbopol which was further enhanced by incorporation of triclosan. Formulation F3 was selected as optimum formulation with desired properties and was subjected to further studies.

INTRODUCTION Dental disease is one of the major causes of tooth loss in India. These include pathological conditions of the supporting structures of the teeth, i.e. gingival, alveolar bone, periodontal ligament and cementum. Gingival disease progresses to periodontal disease, if not checked in time (Shah et al). Gingivitis is the most common and mild form of oral/dental disease. Gingivitis is characterized by inflammation and bleeding of the gums. Because gingivitis is rarely painful in its early stages, it often goes unnoticed until severe irritation or receding gums occur. Gingivitis may lead to a more serious condition called periodontitis, in which the inner gum and bone pull away from teeth and form pocket. These pockets can collect bacteria and debris, and become infected or abscessed. The ultimate outcome is tooth loss. 1.1 Classification of Dental Disease: Various types of DD can be broadly classified as Fig.1 © 2019, IJPSM All Rights Reserved, www.ijpsm.com 2 Anuradha Tiwari et al, Int. Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Medicine (IJPSM), Vol.4 Issue. 7, July- 2019, pg. 1-21 ISSN: 2519-9889 Impact Factor: 3.426 Gingivitis and Periodontitis: Gingivitis and periodontitis are the two major forms of inflammatory diseases affecting the periodontium. General progression steps of gum diseases are shown in Fig.1.2. Gingivitis is inflammation of the gingiva that does not result in clinical attachment loss. Periodontitis is inflammation of the gingival and the adjacent attachment apparatus and is characterized by loss of connective tissue attachment and alveolar bone. Appropriate supportive periodontal maintenance that includes personal and periodontal maintenance that includes personal and professional care is important in preventing reinitiation of inflammation. Therapeutic approaches for periodontitis fall into two major categories: 1) Anti-infective treatment -: It is designed to halt the progression of periodontal attachment loss by removing etiologic factors. 2) Regenerative therapy -: It includes anti-infective treatment and is intended to restore structures destroyed by disease (S.Pragati et al). © 2019, IJPSM All Rights Reserved, www.ijpsm.com 3 Anuradha Tiwari et al, Int. Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Medicine (IJPSM), Vol.4 Issue. 7, July- 2019, pg. 1-21 ISSN: 2519-9889 Impact Factor: 3.426 A chronic inflammatory disease of the gingiva and periodontium results in destruction of gingival connective tissue, periodontal ligament, and alveolar bone. Clinically, inflammation is seen as redness, swelling, and bleeding upon probing. The main provoking factor that induces inflammation of gingival tissue is the presence of bacterial biofilm (dental plaque) on the teeth/gingival interfaces. Inflammation is the localized, protective response of the body to injury or infection. The classic clinical signs that characterize inflammation are heat, redness, swelling, pain and loss of function. During inflammation, cells and their secreted chemicals attempt to destroy, dilute, or wall off the injurious agent. A series of biochemical events cause the blood vessels to dilate and become more permeable, resulting in the activation of the complement, clotting, and kinin systems. The end result of inflammation is the return of function by the regeneration or repair of the affected tissue. Fig. 1.2 Progression of Gum Disease 1.2 Gingivitis: Gingivitis is an infection of the gums. If left untreated, it can become a more severe infection known as periodontitis. The gingivitis and periodontitis are the major causes of tooth loss in adults. Gingivitis is a form of periodontal disease. Periodontal disease is inflammation and infection that destroys the tissues that support the teeth. This can include the gums, the periodontal ligaments, and the tooth sockets (alveolar bone) (Lights et al). © 2019, IJPSM All Rights Reserved, www.ijpsm.com 4 Anuradha Tiwari et al, Int. Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Medicine (IJPSM), Vol.4 Issue. 7, July- 2019, pg. 1-21 ISSN: 2519-9889 Impact Factor: 3.426 1.2.1 Classification of Gingivitis: There are two primary categories of gingival diseases, each with numerous subgroups: 1) Dental plaque-induced gingival diseases. a) Gingivitis associated with plaque only b) Gingival diseases modified by systemic factors c) Gingival diseases modified by medication d) Gingival diseases modified by malnutrition 2) Non-plaque induced gingival lesions a) Gingival diseases of specific bacterial origin b) Gingival diseases of viral origin c) Gingival diseases of fungal origin d) Gingival diseases of genetic origin e) Gingival manifestations of systemic conditions f) Traumatic lesions g) Foreign body reactions (Gary et al) 1.2.2 Etiology of Gingivitis Gingivitis is due to the long-term effects of plaque deposits on the teeth. Plaque is a thin film of bacteria. It constantly forms on the surface of the teeth. As plaque advances, it hardens and becomes tartar. When plaque extends below the gum line, infection can occur. Plaque is a sticky material made of bacteria, mucus and food debris that builds up on the exposed parts of the teeth. It is also a major cause of tooth decay. If plaque is not removed, it turns into a hard deposit called tartar that becomes trapped at the base of the tooth. Plaque and tartar irritate and inflame the gums. Bacteria and toxins produced cause the gums to become infected, swollen, and tender (James et al). The following raises risk for gingivitis: Certain infections and body-wide (systemic) diseases Poor dental hygiene Pregnancy (hormonal changes increase the sensitivity of the gums) Uncontrolled diabetes Misaligned teeth, rough edges of filling and unclean mouth appliances (such as braces, dentures, bridges and crowns) © 2019, IJPSM All Rights Reserved, www.ijpsm.com 5 Anuradha Tiwari et al, Int.

D.I has created a revolution in the routine approach to dental care for patients missing one or more teeth. (Clark et al). Research on dental implant designs, material and techniques has increased in the past few years and is expected to expand in the future. Structure of Dental implant is shown in Fig. 1.4. Fig. 1.4 Dental Implant II. RESEARCH ENVIZAGED The main objective of the project was to develop a dental implant for the patients suffering from oral gingivitis caused by bacterial infection, trauma etc. Person suffering from Gingivitis has chance to miss the medication during travel. For such patients dental implant is can be effectively utilized. The implant releases the drug in sustained manner near infected part. Drug released provides localized action for long duration and hence drug medication will not have to be administered frequently. III. MATERIAL AND METHODS Following Drugs & materials are used in this method- Diclofenac Sodium, Triclosan, Carbopol p934, Chitosan, Propylene Glycol etc. © 2019, IJPSM All Rights Reserved, www.ijpsm.com 6 Anuradha Tiwari et al, Int.

Webber heading the func- tional ceramics department. Together with two research fellows from his DFG funded Emmy- Noether-Group he started his research activities in the field of ferroelectric ceramics. After transfer of unique experimental facilities from TU Darmstadt to FAU Erlangen his experimental equipment is ready for work. In the glass department (Prof. Dominique de Ligny) research centers on a better understanding of light interaction with glass as well as response to external stress. Laser glass interaction is ex- plored for new functionalization of glass by surface texturing. The disordered structure of glass imposes the development of specific instrumentation as vibrational spectroscopy. A new setup coupling Raman and Brillouin spectroscopy as well as a calorimeter allows new and unique pro- spective ways. In the biomaterials department (Prof. Stephan E. Wolf), the DFG funded Emmy-Noether- Research Group on biomimetic materials started the research activities after completing the refur- nishment of the laboratories. Work is focused on identifying the process-structure-property rela- tionships in biominerals and subsequent in vitro mimesis by biomimetic crystallization at ambient conditions. Initial results were published in Nature Communications (see publications). Work of the research group on cellular ceramics (Dr. Tobias Fey) is centered on microstruc- ture characterisation applying X-ray microtomography and testing of the mechanical and thermal properties of cellular ceramics. Massive strain amplification lattice structures were investigated by experimental and theoretical approaches.

  • Sol-Gel 1 Sol-Gel
    Sol-gel 1 Sol-gel In materials science, the sol-gel process is a method for producing solid materials from small molecules. The method is used for the fabrication of metal oxides, especially the oxides of silicon and titanium. The process involves conversion of monomers into a colloidal solution (sol) that acts as the precursor for an integrated network (or gel) of either discrete particles or network polymers. Typical precursors are metal alkoxides. Stages in the process In this chemical procedure, the 'sol' (or solution) gradually evolves towards the formation of a gel-like diphasic system containing both a liquid phase and solid phase whose morphologies range from discrete particles to continuous polymer networks. In the case of the colloid, the volume fraction of particles (or particle density) may be so low that a significant amount of fluid may need to be removed initially for the gel-like properties to be recognized. This can be accomplished in any number of ways. The simplest method is to allow time for sedimentation to occur, and then pour off the remaining liquid. Centrifugation can also be used to accelerate the process of phase Schematic representation of the different stages separation. and routes of the sol-gel technology. Removal of the remaining liquid (solvent) phase requires a drying process, which is typically accompanied by a significant amount of shrinkage and densification. The rate at which the solvent can be removed is ultimately determined by the distribution of porosity in the gel. The ultimate microstructure of the final component will clearly be strongly influenced by changes imposed upon the structural template during this phase of processing.

Schricker, Adviser Dr. William A. Brantley Approved by Dr. William M. Johnston Dr. Dr Sarandeep S. Huja ____________________ Adviser Dentistry Graduate Program Copyright by Alireza Moshaverinia 2009 ABSTRACT Glass-ionomer cements were first introduced to dentistry in late 1960’s. They have proven to be useful in various areas of dental science, such as restorative dentistry. As aqueous polyelectrolyte systems, glass-ionomer cements have unique properties such as adhesion to moist tooth structure without any pretreatment, prolonged fluoride release which inhibits recurrent caries, acceptable aesthetics and biocompatibility, making these materials popular and desirable for restorative dentistry. However, they have some deficiencies such as poor mechanical properties and water sensitivity. Recently, there have been significant changes and modifications in the formulations of the acid and basic parts of the glass-ionomers, leading to enhanced mechanical and handling properties of the material. The overall objective of this study was the modification of the glass- ionomer cement composition in order to enhance their mechanical and handling properties. N-vinylpyrrolidone (NVP) and N-vinylcaprolactam (NVC) were incorporated into glass-ionomer polymeric structure and the effects on mechanical and surface properties of the resulting cements were investigated. The effects of these novel formulations on mechanical and handling properties of glass-ionomer cements were studied.

    Modification of Float Glass Surfaces by Ion Exchange Linnaeus University Dissertations No 89/2012 MODIFICATION OF FLOAT GLASS SURFACES BY ION EXCHANGE STEFAN KARLSSON LINNAEUS UNIVERSITY PRESS MODIFICATION OF FLOAT GLASS SURFACES BY ION EXCHANGE Doctoral dissertation, School of School of Engineering, Linnaeus University 2012 ISBN: 978-91-86983-62-8 Printed by: Ineko AB, Kållered ABSTRACT Karlsson, Stefan, (2012). Modification of Float Glass Surfaces by Ion Exchange. Linnaeus University Dissertations No 89/2012. ISBN: 978-91-86983-62-8. Written in English. Glass is a common material in each person’s life, e.g. drinking vessels, windows, displays, insulation and optical fibres. By modifying the glass surface it is possible to change the performance of the entire glass object, generally known as Surface Engineering. Ion exchange is a convenient technique to modify the glass surface composition and its properties, e.g. optical, mechanical, electrical and chemical properties, without ruining the surface finish of the glass. This thesis reports the findings of two different research tasks; characterisation of the single-side ion exchange process and the novel properties induced. The characterisation of the ion exchange process was mainly performed by utilising a novel analytical equipment: the Surface Ablation Cell (SAC), allowing continuous removal of the flat glass surface by controlled isotropic dissolution. SAC-AAS has provided concentration vs. depth profiles of float glass ion exchanged with K+, Cu+, Rb+ and Cs+. In addition, SEM-EDX has provided concentration vs. depth profiles of Ag+ ion exchanged samples and validation of a copper concentration vs. depth profile. From the concentration vs. depth profiles, the effective diffusion coefficients and activation energies of the ion exchange processes have been calculated.
