RESUMEN

The purpose of this study was to synthesize biomaterials from daily dental waste. Since alginate impression material contains silica and calcium salts, we aimed to synthesize calcium silicate cement from alginate impression material. Gypsum-based investment material was also investigated as control. X-ray diffraction analyses revealed that although firing the set gypsum-based and modified investment materials at 1,200°C produced calcium silicates, firing the set alginate impression material did not. However, we succeeded when firing the set blend of pre-fired set alginate impression material and gypsum at 1,200°C. SEM observations of the powder revealed that the featured porous structures of diatomite as an alginate impression material component appeared useful for synthesizing calcium silicates. Experimentally fabricated calcium silicate powder was successfully mixed with phosphoric acid solution and set by depositing the brushite. Therefore, we conclude that the production of calcium silicate cement material is possible from waste alginate impression material.

RESUMEN

AIM: To determine the effect of increasing the proportion of zinc on partially stabilized cement (PSC) produced using a one-step sol gel process. METHODOLOGY: A one-step sol-gel process of Portland cement-based PSC with Zn was synthesized by replacing iron nitrate. The crystalline phases of the PSC-Zn powder were analysed by using X-ray diffraction (XRD). The experimental groups [i.e., MTA, PSC-Fe (control), PSC with 1% Zn, PSC with 3% Zn, and PSC with 5% Zn] were immersed in simulated body fluid for 3 h, 1 and 3 days to evaluate the hydration product formation. The microstructure and surface morphology were analysed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Initial and final setting times of the materials were determined using an ASTM Vicat needle testing machine. To evaluate the cytotoxicity of PSC-Zn system, primary osteoblasts cell lines were used. RESULTS: The addition of increased weight percentages of Zn, resulted in a more unstable phase which favoured the formation of a monoclinic structure of C3 S with an increased hydration reaction of PSC and reduced setting time. The cytotoxicity testing of PSC with Zn revealed that the material was not toxic. CONCLUSIONS: The newly synthesized PSC-Zn material had short setting time and was biocompatible.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: Human orofacial bone mesenchymal stem cells (OFMSCs) from maxilla and mandible have robust osteogenic regenerative properties on the basis of our previous reports that demonstrate phenotypic and functional differences between jaw and axial bone mesenchymal stem cells in same individuals. Furthermore, a combination of OFMSCs with bioactive calcium-releasing cements can potentially improve OFMSC multilineage differentiation capacity, but biocompatibility of calcium-silicate cements with OFMSCs is still unclear. We tested the hypothesis that material extracts of calcium-releasing calcium-silicate cements support biomimetic microenvironment for survival and differentiation of human OFMSCs. METHODS: Two experimental calcium-silicate cements, (1) calcium-silicate mineral powder (wTC) containing dicalcium and tricalcium-silicate, calcium sulfate, and calcium chloride and (2) wTC doped with alpha-tricalcium phosphate (wTC-αTCP), were designed and prepared. Cement setting times were assessed by Gilmore needles, ability to release calcium and hydroxyl ions was assessed by potentiometric methods, and OFMSC attachment to calcium-silicate discs was assessed. Calcium-silicate material extracts were tested for ability to support OFMSC survival and in vitro/in vivo differentiation. RESULTS: Fewer OFMSCs attached to calcium-silicate discs relative to tissue culture plastic (P = .001). Extracts of calcium-silicate cements sustained OFMSC survival, maintained steady state levels of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1, alkaline phosphatase, and bone sialoprotein while up-regulating their respective gene transcripts. Adipogenic and in vivo bone regenerative capacities of OFMSCs were also unaffected by calcium-silicate extracts. CONCLUSIONS: Ion-releasing calcium-silicate cements support a biomimetic microenvironment conducive to survival and differentiation of OFMSCs. Combination of OFMSCs and calcium-silicate cement can potentially promote tissue regeneration in periapical bone defects.

RESUMEN

AIM: An innovative light-curable calcium-silicate cement containing a HEMA-TEGDMA-based resin (lc-MTA) was designed to obtain a bioactive fast setting root-end filling and root repair material. METHODS: lc-MTA was tested for setting time, solubility, water absorption, calcium release, alkalinizing activity (pH of soaking water), bioactivity (apatite-forming ability) and cell growth-proliferation. The apatite-forming ability was investigated by micro-Raman, ATR-FTIR and ESEM/EDX after immersion at 37°C for 1-28 days in DPBS or DMEM+FBS. The marginal adaptation of cement in root-end cavities of extracted teeth was assessed by ESEM/EDX, and the viability of Saos-2 cell on cements was evaluated. RESULTS: lc-MTA demonstrated a rapid setting time (2min), low solubility, high calcium release (150-200ppm) and alkalinizing power (pH 10-12). lc-MTA proved the formation of bone-like apatite spherulites just after 1 day. Apatite precipitates completely filled the interface porosities and created a perfect marginal adaptation. lc-MTA allowed Saos-2 cell viability and growth and no compromising toxicity was exerted. SIGNIFICANCE: HEMA-TEGDMA creates a polymeric network able to stabilize the outer surface of the cement and a hydrophilic matrix permeable enough to allow water absorption. SiO(-)/Si-OH groups from the mineral particles induce heterogeneous nucleation of apatite by sorption of calcium and phosphate ions. Oxygen-containing groups from poly-HEMA-TEGDMA provide additional apatite nucleating sites through the formation of calcium chelates. The strong novelty was that the combination of a hydraulic calcium-silicate powder and a poly-HEMA-TEGDMA hydrophilic resin creates the conditions (calcium release and functional groups able to chelate Ca ions) for a bioactive fast setting light-curable material for clinical applications in dental and maxillofacial surgery. The first and unique/exclusive light-curable calcium-silicate MTA cement for endodontics and root-end application was created, with a potential strong impact on surgical procedures.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVES: Impedance spectroscopy is a non-destructive, quantitative method, commonly used nowadays for industrial research on cement and concrete. The aim of this study is to investigate the interest of impedance spectroscopy in the characterization of setting process of dental cements. METHODS: Two types of dental cements are used in this experiment: a new Calcium Silicate cement Biodentine™ (Septodont, Saint Maur-des Fossés, France) and a glass ionomer cement resin modified or not (Fuji II(®) LC Improved Capsules and Fuji IX(®) GP Fast set Capsules, GC Corp., Tokyo, Japan). The conductivity of the dental cements was determined by impedance spectroscopy measurements carried out on dental cement samples immersed in a 0.1M potassium chloride solution (KCl) in a "like-permeation" cell connected to a potentiostat and a Frequency Response Analyzer. The temperature of the solution is 37°C. From the moment of mixing of powder and liquid, the experiments lasted 2 weeks. RESULTS: The results obtained for each material are relevant of the setting process. For GIC, impedance values are stabilized after 5 days while at least 14 days are necessary for the calcium silicate based cement. SIGNIFICANCE: In accordance with the literature regarding studies of cements and concrete, impedance spectroscopy can characterize ion mobility, porosity and hardening process of dental hydrogel materials.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this study was to examine the physicochemical properties of novel calcium silicate cements (CSCs) prepared by using a sol-gel method. METHODS: The compressive strength, morphology, and phase composition of various cements were evaluated after mixing with water, in addition to setting time and pH value. RESULTS: As solid phases, the sol-gel-derived powders mainly consisted of beta-dicalcium silicate. Setting times for cements mixed with water ranged from 12-42 minutes and were lower for cements with higher starting CaO content. The compressive strength of the CSCs ranged from 0.3-15.2 MPa; these values were significantly different (P < .05). Calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) was the principal phase that formed in the hydration process. The CSCs' pH values changed from an initial 11 to a high of 13. CONCLUSIONS: CSCs display advantageously shortened setting times and might have potential for endodontic use, although further tests are necessary to confirm this.

RESUMEN

A novel bone cement composed of sintered zinc-calcium-silicate phosphate and hybrid polyalkenoates has been developed. Synthesis and formulation of glass fillers, monomers and polymers as well as formulation of the cement were described. The effects of sintering, polymer content, glass powder/polymer liquid (P/L) ratio and comonomer on compressive strength (CS) and curing time (CT) were investigated. The effects of P/L ratio and comonomers on shrinkage as well as exotherm were also studied. Results show that the experimental cement was 61% higher in CS, 10% lower in diametral tensile strength, 35% lower in flexural strength, 62% less in exotherm, and 68% less in shrinkage, compared to conventional polymethylmethacrylate cement. With increasing polymer content and P/L ratio in the cement formulation CS of the cement increased but CT decreased. Curing time, shrinkage and exotherm of the cement decreased with increasing P/L ratio. It appears that this novel cement may be a potential candidate for orthopedic restoration if its biological performance is good and formulation is optimized.
