The present study evaluated the effectiveness of a dicalcium and tetracalcium phosphate-based desensitizer in reducing dentin permeability in vitro. Dentin fluid flow was measured before and after treatment of dentin with patent dentinal tubules using 1 or 3 applications of the dicalcium and tetracalcium phosphate containing agent TeethmateTM (TM) and comparing the results with two sodium fluor...

This experiment was carried out to investigate the effects of different level of dicalcium phosphate on growth, digestibility, rumen fermentation and some blood parameters. Eighteen growing local breed male lambs (about 3 months old) with an average weight of 23.61 ±0.58 Kg were divided randomly into three feeding groups for 150 days, fed on: Ration one ( R1) : CFM contained1% dicalcium phospha...

Dicalcium phosphate cements were developed two decades ago and ever since there has been a substantial growth in research into improving their properties in order to satisfy the requirements needed for several clinical applications. The present paper presents an overview of the rapidly expanding research field of the two main dicalcium phosphate bioceramics: brushite and monetite. This review b...

The aim of the study was to assess the influence of various feed phosphates on the structural and mechanical properties as well as on the chemical composition of femurs in adult pigs (weight approx. 110 kg). Three types of phosphates--monocalcium phosphate (MCP), dicalcium phosphate (n-DCP) and calcium-sodium phosphate (CSP)--were used alternatively in pigs fed with the standard feed mixture. T...

I T is generally considered that Ca or P are readily available to livestock from steamed bone meal, dicalcium phosphate, ground limestone and monosodium phosphate. The following experiment was conducted to investigate the absorption and retention of Ca and P by ponies fed diets containing these supplements. The work was undertaken since there are few data obtained from studies in which these su...

Thirty Brahman-Angus cross heifers at breeding age on extensive grazing were used to test the effectiveness of NH4Cl as an acidogenic agent at 15,18, 21 and 26 % of a dicalcium phosphate lick (A+), compared to a lick of 5 parts dicalcium phosphate and 3 parts salt (A-). Blood and faecal phosphorus (P), faecal calcium (Ca) and faecal magnesium (Mg) were significantly (P<0.05) higher in A+ compar...
