In this study, the development of a mucoadhesive dimethicone-based oral carrier system for adhesion to the hard tissue and mucosa in the mouth was examined. This study reports the viscosity and mucoadhesion of dimethicone based polymer blends. The viscosity of the materials was measured using a rheometer. The mucoadhesion of these materials was determined as the work of adhesion and peak tack force using the tensile test method with a texture analyzer. Materials were prepared with either calcium and phosphate salts or sodium fluoride as potential therapeutics for promoting remineralization and treating dentin hypersensitivity by mechanical occlusion. Scanning electron microscopy was used to look at mineral deposition on the surface of dental hard tissue after the application of the dimethicone-based formulations. The results of this study confirm the potential for using these dimethicone-based materials as mucoadhesive therapeutic delivery systems in the oral environment.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ma17225590","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,15]],"date-time":"2024-11-15T05:33:04Z","timestamp":1731648784000},"page":"5590","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Substantive Dimethicone-Based Mucoadhesive Coatings"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Sophie","family":"Miller","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry, College of Arts and Sciences, Creighton University, Omaha, NE 68178, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nicole","family":"Omoto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Biology, School of Dentistry, Creighton University, Omaha, NE 68178, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ryan","family":"DeCamp","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry, College of Arts and Sciences, Creighton University, Omaha, NE 68178, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gavin","family":"Gloeb","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry, College of Arts and Sciences, Creighton University, Omaha, NE 68178, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stephen M.","family":"Gross","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry, College of Arts and Sciences, Creighton University, Omaha, NE 68178, USA"},{"name":"Department of Oral Biology, School of Dentistry, Creighton University, Omaha, NE 68178, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"537","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijpharm.2015.08.038","article-title":"Mucoadhesive oral films: The potential for unmet needs","volume":"494","author":"Silva","year":"2015","journal-title":"Int.
