Objective: to determine the effect of nano-hydroxyapatite and different bioactive remineralizing agent in treatment loss enamel minerals. Material M nano-hydroxyapatite, Casein phospho-peptide amorphous calcium phosphate Sodium Fluoride. While artificial saliva was applied on control specimens. Surface microhardness measurements baseline were calculated, before/after demineralization digital 3D...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate and compare the penetration depth of conventional (CH) and nano-particle calcium hydroxide (NCH) into dentinal tubules. METHODS AND MATERIALS Ninety human single-rooted teeth were instrumented by RaCe rotary system and after chemomechanical preparation were randomly divided in two equal groups (n=45). In the first group conventional ...

Nanotechnologies promise new solutions for several applications in biomedical, industrial andmilitary fields. At nano-scale, a nano-machine can be considered as themost basic functional unit. Nano-machines are tiny components consisting of an arranged set of molecules, which are able to perform very simple tasks. Nanonetworks. i.e., the interconnection of nano-machines are expected to expand th...

A middle base number sulphonate-modified nano calcium carbonate (SMC) with an average size of 35 nm was synthesized, and its tribological and antioxidation synergistic behaviors with ashless antioxidant N-phenyl-α-naphthylamine (T531) in hydrogenated oil (5Cst) were evaluated. The results demonstrate that adding this synthesized additive even at a low amount (<2.0 wt.%) can evidently improve it...

A solution-phase route has been considered as the most promising route to synthesize noble nanostructures. A majority of their synthesis approaches of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) are based on either using fungi or the CO2 bubbling methods. Here, we approached the preparation of nano-precipitated calcium carbonate single crystal from salmacis sphaeroides in the presence of zwitterionic or cationic...

Calcium carbonate/cellulose fiber composites combining natural polymers and inorganic particles are promising materials for preparing fluff pulp. In this study, calcium carbonate (CaCO3) particles were in-situ precipitated on cellulose fiber surfaces to decrease the level of hydrogen bonding. The results showed that nano CaCO3 particles precipitated and dispersed well on the fiber surface. The ...

The acidic extracellular environment of tumors potentiates their aggressiveness and metastasis, but few methods exist to selectively modulate the extracellular pH (pHe) environment of tumors. Transient flushing of biological systems with alkaline fluids or proton pump inhibitors is impractical and nonselective. Here we report a nanoparticles-based strategy to intentionally modulate the pHe in t...

Mortars with two different binders (Portland cement (PC) and high alumina cement (HAC)) were modified upon the bulk incorporation of nano-structured photocatalytic additives (bare TiO₂, and TiO₂ doped with either iron (Fe-TiO₂) or vanadium (V-TiO₂)). Plastic and hardened state properties of these mortars were assessed in order to study the influence of these nano-additives. Water demand was inc...

Abstract The adsorption of CO 2 on a nano-calcium oxide (nano-CaO) adsorbent was investigated under different conditions temperature and supply pressure, considering kinetic, isotherm, thermodynamic parameters. CaO is crystalline material with high surface area nanosized particles porosity, which showed rapid initial rates in the moderate range studied. well described by pseudo-second-order int...

Objective: This in-vitro study evaluated the remineralizing effect of nano-pearl and nano-seashell incorporated into fluoride-based pits-and-fissures sealants by assessing enamel surface microhardness elemental analysis. Materials Methods: 75 extracted third molars were randomly allocated to one following 5 groups fluoride containing sealant: 10% nano-pearl; 15% nano-seashell; or plain sealant....
