Evaluation of sorption and solubility of materials based on calcium aluminate

Introduction. In addition to good biological properties, biomaterials should also possess appropriate physical properties in order provide stability and longevity at the place of application. The aim this work was evaluate an experimental nanostructured material based on calcium aluminate (CAL) silicate (CS). Material method. research used synthesized by hydrothermal solgel method from individual components (CaO?Al2O3), calcite (CaCO3) barium sulfate (BaSO4) as X-ray contrast agent prepared placed plastic molds with a diameter 5 ? 0.1 mm height 2 mm. After setting time, materials were left incubator 37?C for 24 hours, then they removed mold absorption solubility calculated. MTA (Angelus Londrina, Brazil) control material. Results. lowest recorded (0.255 mg/mm3), followed (0.267 highest (0.725 mg/mm3). difference statistically significant between (p = 0.001901) 0.002550). 28 days deionized water, water sorption (0.347 (0.357 measured (0.474 Statistically differences observed 0.000283) 0.001576). Conclusion. aluminate-based significantly higher compared (CS) MTA.
