Abstract

AbstractMany kinds of antibacterial coatings have been designed to prevent the adherence of bacteria onto the surface of a fixed orthodontic device of brackets. However, the problems such as weak binding force, undetectable, drug resistance, cytotoxicity and short duration needed to be solved. Thus, it has great value in developing novel coating methods with long-term antibacterial and fluorescence properties according to the clinical application of brackets. In this study, we synthesized blue fluorescent carbon dots (HCDs) using the traditional Chinese medicinal honokiol, which could cause irreversible killing effects on both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria through positive charges on the surface and inducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Based on this, the surface of brackets was serially modified with polydopamine and HCDs, taking advantage of the strong adhesive properties as well as the negative surface charge of polydopamine particles. It is found that this coating exhibits stable antibacterial properties in 14 days with good biocompatibility, which can provide a new solution and strategy to solve the series of hazards caused by bacterial adhesion on the surface of orthodontic brackets.
