AIM To compare the ability of Ceramicrete, BioAggregate and white ProRoot MTA (mineral trioxide aggregate) to prevent glucose leakage through root-end fillings. METHODOLOGY After root canal instrumentation, the apical 3 mm of maxillary incisors were resected and retropreparations, 3 mm in depth, were created with ultrasound. Root-end cavities were filled with the tested materials (15 roots pe...

Calcium phosphate (hydroxyapatite and tri-calcium phosphate) bioceramics closely resembling, in chemical composition, those found in vivo in human bones have been synthesized by using novel synthetic body ̄uid solutions via the self-propagating combustion synthesis (SPCS) method. Powder characterization was performed by XRD, ICP-AES, FTIR and SEM. # 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Bone is a composite of collagen fibers that are organized by calcium phosphates nanocrystals. tissue engineering has been continuously developing since the concept “tissue engineering” proposed. Biomaterials used as basic material for fabrication scaffolds play vital role in bone engineering. Calcium and bioactive glasses were first bioceramics specifically developed repair. Biological response...
