Evaluation of the mechanical properties and biocompatibility of gypsum-containing calcium silicate cements

Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) cement is widely used in the field of endodontic treatment. We herein synthesized calcium silicates from carbonate and silicon dioxide, with aim reducing cost associated MTA. Additionally, we prepared gypsum-containing silicate to reduce setting time while enhancing mechanical strength. evaluated physical properties this investigated response human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) grown culture media containing eluate. Our results revealed that could be easily lab-scale. Furthermore, demonstrate gypsum addition helps shorten increasing compressive strength cements. The showed minimal cytotoxicity did not inhibit proliferation hDPSCs. These suggested newly developed material a promising capping material.
