Abstract The physical, mechanical, and biological behaviour of copper containing glass polyalkenotare cements were investigated, where copper (Cu2+) was incorporated into a SiO2-ZnO-CaO-SrO-P2O5 based glass system. Three GPCs were formulated for this study, a Control and two Cu-GPCs with 6 (Cu-1) and 12 (Cu-2) Mol.% of CuO substituted for the SiO2 in the glass. Rheological evaluation of GPCs determined that the addition of the Cu decreases the working and setting times in the cements. The mechanical properties of the cements were evaluated after 1 - 21 days incubation in DI water. The compressive strength of the cements were found to range between 21-36 MPa, with Cu-1 having the highest compressive strength. Biaxial flexural strength and Shear Bond Strength of the GPCs were found to increase with respect to time and were higher for the Cu-GPCs at 14 MPa and 2.1 MPa respectively. Bioactivity testing was conducted using Simulated Body Fluid (SBF) which revealed CaP precipitants on each of the GPCs surfaces. The effect o f Cu addition to the GPCs greatly enhanced the antibacterial inhibition zone (IZ) when tested in E.coli (3mm), S.aureus (24mm) and S.epidermidis (22mm). Cytocompatibility testing revealed more favorable MC3T3 osteoblast cell viability when compared to the Control GPC.

The antibacterial brushite-forming calcium phospahte cements (CPC) were prepared using an equimolar mixture of β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) and monocalcium phosphate monohydrate (MCPM) with chlorine dioxide (ClO2) generating powders (sodium chlorite and mixed acid activator). The effect of ClO2 on cement setting time, compressive strength, and antibacterial property of novel antibacterial CPC was investigated. The use of 0.3M citric acid solutions as liquid phase enabled final setting times of 5~10 min. The setting time of antibacterial cement systems was prolonged with increasing the amount of antibiotic used. Dry compressive strength was found to be in the range between 9~15 MPa and increased with addition of ClO2 generating powders. Wet compressive strength was slightly decreased compared to dry compressive strength after immersion of cement samples in water for 24 h. The antimicrobial potency of the different cement formulations was investigated using the agar diffusion method. The acidic brushite cement itself showed the inhibitory effect for Streptococcus mutans. The inhibition zone was increased with the amount of ClO2 generating powders. These results indicate that our novel antibacterial CPC have the great potential to avoid the development of infections for preventive antibiotic therapy.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the mechanical properties of three glass ionomers cements (GICs) used for band cementation in Orthodontics. METHODS: Two conventional glass ionomers (Ketac Cem Easy mix/3M-ESPE and Meron/Voco) and one resin modified glass ionomer (Multi-cure Glass ionomer/3M-Unitek) were selected. For the compressive strength and diametral tensile strength tests, 12 specimens were made of each material. For the microhardness test 15 specimens were made of each material and for the shear bond strength tests 45 bovine permanent incisors were used mounted in a self-cure acrylic resin. Then, band segments with a welded bracket were cemented on the buccal surface of the crowns. For the mechanical tests of compressive and diametral tensile strength and shear bond strength a universal testing machine was used with a crosshead speed of 1,0 mm/min and for the Vickers microhardness analysis tests a Microdurometer was used with 200 g of load during 15 seconds. The results were submitted to statistical analysis through ANOVA complemented by Tukey's test at a significance level of 5%. RESULTS: The results shown that the Multi-Cure Glass Ionomer presented higher diametral tensile strength (p < 0.01) and compressive strength greater than conventional GICs (p = 0.08). Moreover, Ketac Cem showed significant less microhardness (p < 0.01). CONCLUSION: The resin-modified glass ionomer cement showed high mechanical properties, compared to the conventional glass ionomer cements, which had few differences between them.

From decades it has been recognized that Geopolymer will considerably replace the role of cement in the construction industry. In general, Geopolymer exhibits the property of the peak compressive strength, minimal creep and shrinkage. In this current research paper, Geopolymer mortar is prepared by using GGBS and Fly ash. The mix proportions are of (100-60)%GGBS with Fly ash by 10% replacement. The alkali activators Na0H and Na2Sio3 are used in the study for two different molarities of 4&8. The ratio to Sodium silicates to sodium hydroxide is maintained from 1.5, 2, 2.5 & 3 were used. Mortars are prepared and studied the effect of molarities of alkali activators in their setting times and strengths

AbstractIn this work, we studied the effects of copper incorporation in the composition of bioactive glass. Three different glass compositions were synthesized with 0, 3, and 6 mol% of copper addition. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) patterns confirmed that an amorphous microstructure was obtained for all three glass compositions. Results from Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA) showed that the copper addition in the glass lowers the glass transition temperature, from 646°C to 590°C when added at 6 mol%. X-ray Photoelectron (XPS) survey and high-resolution scans were performed to study the structural effects of copper addition in the glass. Results indicated that the incorporation of copper changes the ratio of bridging to non-birding oxygens in the structure. Glasses were further analyzed for their structure with Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, which indicated that copper acts as a network modifier in the glass composition and copper-containing glasses show a less connected microstructure. Antibacterial efficacy of the glasses was analyzed against E. coli and S. epidermis. Copper-containing glasses showed a significantly higher inhibition zone compared to control glass. The glass with 6 mol% copper, exhibited inhibition zones of 9 and 16mm against E. coli and S. epidermis bacteria, respectively.

The setting behaviour, the compressive strength and the porosity of four calcium alkali orthophosphate cements were examined under laboratory conditions (dry) and under conditions similar to those during clinical application (37°C, contact with body fluid). The results showed an increase of the setting times when specimens were covered with simulated body fluid. Especially, the final setting time (FHZ) was significantly higher for three of the four cements. Furthermore, when specimens were stored in SBF for 16h, an extensive decrease of the compressive strength was noted. The porosity was more than twice as high after 16h in SBF and this may be the cause for the great decrease of the compressive strength.
