Abstract Background The present study aimed to compare the volumetric changes of three calcium silicate cements after retrofilling and placing under different pH conditions via micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) scan. Methods Forty-two extracted human single-rooted teeth were randomly assigned to three groups according to the retrofilling materials used (Biodentine, Endocem MTA, and ProRoot MTA). Each group was divided into two subgroups according to the setting condition. The teeth in one group were immersed in normal saline for 5 days at room temperature, and the teeth in the other group were immersed in butyric acid (pH = 5.4) for 5 days at room temperature. The volume ratios of the retrofilling material were calculated via micro-CT imaging. Results The volume ratios of the Biodentine and Endocem MTA groups were significantly different between the two setting environment, and these groups had significantly lower filled volume ratio (Vf, %) in the acidic environment than in the saline environment (pH = 5.4). Meanwhile, the volume ratio of the ProRoot MTA group did not significantly differ between the two setting environments. All materials under the acidic setting condition had relative radiolucency in the area in contact with the acidic solution. Conclusion The Vf ratio of the Biodentine and Endocem MTA cements was significantly lower in the acidic environment than in the saline environment. No statistically significant difference was observed in the Vf ratio of ProRoot MTA between the two setting environments.

Abstract Background The present study aimed to compare the marginal sealing ability of three calcium silicate cements after retrofilling at different pH levels via micro-computed tomography (CT) scan.Methods Forty-two extracted human single-rooted teeth were randomly assigned to three groups according to the retrofilling materials used (Biodentine, Endocem MTA, and ProRoot MTA). Each group was divided into two subgroups according to the setting condition. The teeth in one group were immersed in normal saline for 5 days at room temperature, and the teeth in the other group were immersed in butyric acid (pH = 5.4) for 5 days at room temperature. To investigate marginal sealing ability, the volume ratios of the retrofilling material were calculated via micro-CT imaging.Results The volume ratios of the Biodentine and Endocem MTA groups were significantly different between the two setting environment, and these groups had significantly lower filled volume ratio (Vf, %) in the acidic environment than in the saline environment (pH = 5.4).

Dentin Formation

In cases of pulp injury, capping materials are used to enhance tertiary dentin formation; Ca(OH)2 and MTA are the current gold standards. The aim of this study was to evaluate the capacity of a new calcium-silicate-based restorative cement to induce pulp healing in a rat pulp injury model. For that purpose, cavities with mechanical pulp exposure were prepared on maxillary first molars of 27 six-week-old male rats, and damaged pulps were capped with either the new calcium-silicate-based restorative cement (Biodentine), MTA, or Ca(OH)2. Cavities were sealed with glass-ionomer cement, and the repair process was assessed at several time-points. At day 7, our results showed that both the evaluated cement and MTA induced cell proliferation and formation of mineralization foci, which were strongly positive for osteopontin. At longer time-points, we observed the formation of a homogeneous dentin bridge at the injury site, secreted by cells displaying an odontoblastic phenotype. In contrast, the reparative tissue induced by Ca(OH)2 showed porous organization, suggesting a reparative process different from those induced by calcium silicate cements. Analysis of these data suggests that the evaluated cement can be used for direct pulp-capping.

ABSTRACTCement-based materials, like concrete and mortar, are widely used in radioactive waste repositories. A deep characterization of these heterogeneous materials, and of their main phases, is necessary to evaluate their capability of retaining critical radionuclides (RN).In this study, the ion beam technique micro- Particle Induced X- Ray Emission (μPIXE) is used to characterize the concrete and mortar used in the Spanish low level waste repository. Two calcium silicate hydrate (CSH) phases with different Ca/Si ratio are also studied, because they are known to be amongst the most relevant phases, formed upon cement hydration, that retain RN. The retention of thorium on the above mention materials, as relevant tetravalent actinide, is also analyzed. Results are compared with Scanning Electron Microscopy- Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (SEM-EDX) analyses.

Calcium silicate ( CaSiO 3) is a promising material due to its favorable biological properties. However, it was difficult to fabricate ceramic scaffolds with interconnected porous structure via conventional technology. In present study, CaSiO 3 scaffolds with totally interconnected pores were fabricated via selective laser sintering (SLS). The microstructure, mechanical and biological properties were examined. The results revealed that the powder gradually fused together with the reduction of voids and the elimination of particle boundary as the laser power increased in the range of 3–15 W with scanning electron microscope. Meanwhile the low-temperature phase (β- CaSiO 3) transformed into high-temperature phase (α- CaSiO 3) gradually, which decreased the mechanical properties of the obtained scaffolds. Besides, the compressive strength increased from 12.9 ± 2.34 MPa to 18.19 ± 1.24 MPa (the laser power is 12 w) and then decreased gradually with increasing laser power. In vitro biological properties of CaSiO 3 scaffolds sintered under optimal conditions indicated that the distribution of apatite mineralization became uniform as the amount of them increased after being immersed in simulated body fluids. In the meantime, the thin cytoplasmic extensions of MG-63 cells increased until formed a dense cell layer after 1–5 days of cell culture. The results suggested that the CaSiO 3 scaffold fabricated via SLS has potential application for bone tissue engineering.
