Synthesis of new antibacterial dental monomer by ۶-bromo-۲-oxo-۲H-chromene-۳-carboxylic acid and Investigation of its compressive strength

Background and Aim : Secondary caries is the most important reason for replacement and removal of restorative materials contains composite resins because caries is an infectious complication and many bacteria, including Streptococcus mutans and lactobacilli, have been isolated from cariogenic plaques, and given that composites base resins increase the growth of Streptococcus Therefore, the use of composite resins that have antimicrobial properties in the prevention of secondary decay will be very useful in this study, we synthesized ۶-bromo-۲-oxo-۲H-chromene-۳-carboxylic acid as a new antibacterial compound and used it in dental composite and Investigated of its compressive strength.Methods : In this experimental study, ۶-bromo-۲-oxo-۲H-chromene-۳-carboxylic acid was synthesized by reaction between ۵-Bromo-۲-hydroxybenzaldehyde and Malonic acid and the antibacterial activity of flowable dental composites containing ۰–۵ wt% ۶-bromo-۲-oxo-۲H-chromene-۳-carboxylic acid and also of their compressive strength on flowable dental composites were investigated. Statistical analysis was performed using one way ANOVA test (P < ۰.۰۰۱). Results : The direct contact test demonstrates that by increasing the ۶-bromo-۲-oxo-۲H-chromene-۳-carboxylic acid content, the bacterial growth is significantly diminished (p<۰.۰۰۱). the mean of compressive strength results show no significant difference between ۰-۴% of groups (p>۰.۰۰۱). Conclusion : Incorporation of ۶-bromo-۲-oxo-۲H-chromene-۳-carboxylic acid into flowable dental resin composites in ۴% wt can reduce the activity of Streptococcus mutans
