This study investigated whether incorporating liposomal ellagic acid (LEA) could enhance the biological performance of two common dental restorative materials. LEA nanoparticles were synthesized and applied (10 μg/mL) to nano-glass ionomer and nano-dental cement discs. Human gingival fibroblasts were used to assess cytocompatibility, cell adhesion, inflammatory cytokine production, and oxidative stress. LEA-modified materials maintained over 96% cell viability, increased adhesion by 1.3-fold at day 3, and markedly reduced IL-6 and TNF-α levels compared to unmodified controls. Oxidative stress markers, including reactive oxygen species and malondialdehyde, were significantly decreased in treated groups. A sustained release profile (56% at 72 h) confirmed stable delivery from the restorative matrix. These findings suggest that LEA incorporation may enhance the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory profile of restorative materials while enhancing biocompatibility, supporting its potential as a bioactive additive for next-generation therapeutic restoratives.
