For tissue engineered bone constructs, calcium phosphate cement (CPC) has a high potential as scaffold material because of its biocompatibility and osteoconductivity. However, in vivo resorption and tissue ingrowth is slow. To address these issues, microspheres can be incorporated into the cement, which will create macroporosity after in situ degradation. The goal of this study was to investiga...

To fully utilize the siliceous whiskers and improve the mechanical properties of oil-well cement, the cement composites with different additions of siliceous whiskers were prepared, and analyzed by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), mechanical testing, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and infrared spectrum analysis. The results showed that the addition of 2% siliceous whiskers could slightly ...

OBJECTIVES This study evaluated the influence of a multi-mode universal adhesive (MUA) containing silane (Single Bond Universal, 3M EPSE) on the bonding of resin cement to lithium disilicate. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty IPS e.max CAD specimens (Ivoclar Vivadent) were fabricated. The surfaces were treated as follows: Group A, adhesive that did not contain silane (ANS, Porcelain Bonding Resin,...

  Abstract   Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of antibiotic-loaded bone   cement in controlling local infection and in regard to its physical characteristics, elastic   modulus, and tensile strength in-vitro.   Methods: Acrylic bone cement, based on polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) was   mixed with the powder form of three antibiotics, i.e., gentamicin, tobramycin, and...

immediate restoration after vital pulp therapy is essential in order to create and maintain effective coronal seal.the aim of this study was to evaluate the shear bond strength of recently used pulp capping materials: white mineral trioxide aggregate (mta), and calcium enriched mixture cement (cem) to composite resin with the use of etch-and-rinse and self-etch adhesive systems and compare them...

introduction: the purpose of this study was to compare the push-out bond strength of white proroot mineral trioxide aggregate (mta), biodentine, calcium-enriched mixture (cem) cement and endosequence root repair material (errm) putty after exposure to blood. methods and materials: a total of 96 root dentin slices with a standardized thickness of 1.00±0.05 mm and standardized canal spaces were r...

In this research, 210 concrete cube specimens (15cm) were made replacing 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 50, and 60 percent of slag powder from Isfahan Steel Mill for cement. The control specimens were made with 350 kg/m3 cement content and the water cement ratio in all specimens was 0.51. The Slump value and compressive strength of concrete specimens in 7, 28 and 90 days were obtained and th...

Different mineral admixtures of Indian metakaolin, Iranian silica fume and nanosilica were used to produce high performance mortars. Two different sands types with grain size of 0.015-4mm were mixed with type II Portland cement, polycarboxylate superplasticizer,mineral admixture with 650kg/m3 cement content and water/cement ratio of 0.35. Different amount of cement was replaced by metakaolin or...
