This study aimed at evaluating bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation on resin-based composites (RBC) including dicalcium phosphate dihydrate nanoparticles (nDCPD). Methods: Specimens were prepared from experimental RBCs with BisGMA/TEGDMA resin matrix including 20 vol% of either nDCPD (nDCPD-RBC), TEGDMAfunctionalized nDPCD (F-nDCPD-RBC) or silanized silica (SiO2-RBC). Neat resin blend (control-Resin), conventional nanohybrid RBC (control-RBC) and human enamel were used for reference. Characterization of the specimens included surface roughness (SR), surface free energy (SFE), chemical surface composition (EDS, XPS), and buffering ability of a pH = 4.00 solution. Streptococcus mutans adherence was assessed after 2 h; biofilm formation was simulated for 48 h using a bioreactor. Adherent, viable biomass was determined using tetrazolium salt assay (MTT). Results: nDCPD-RBC yielded highest roughness and showed higher polar and lower disperse component to total SFE. EDS and XPS indicated higher amounts of calcium and phosphate on the surface of nDCPD-RBC than on F-nDCPD-RBC. nDCPD buffered the acidic solution to 5.74, while functionalization almost prevented buffering (pH = 4.26). F-nDCPD-RBC reduced adherence and biofilm formation in comparison to nDCPD-RBC. Regardless of functionalization, biofilm formation on nDCPD-containing RBCs was not significantly different from SiO2-RBC. Control-Resin, control-RBC, and enamel surfaces showed similar adherence values as F-nDCPD-RBC, but lower biofilm formation compared to both nDCPD-containing RBCs. In conclusion, the incorporation of nDCPD did not minimize S. mutans adherence and biofilm formation as a function of the materials' surface properties. However, results observed for the buffering capacity indicated that optimized formulations of biomimetic RBCs may be useful for modulating their interaction with microorganisms.
