An overview of the formation of calcium phosphate under in vitro environment on the surface of a range of bioactive materials (e.g. from silicate, borate, and phosphate glasses, glass-ceramics, bioceramics to metals) based on recent literature is presented in this review. The mechanism of bone-like calcium phosphate (i.e. hydroxyapatite) formation and the test protocols that are either already ...

AIM This study aims to investigate the effect of casein phos-phopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate and three calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP and TCP) on increasing the microhardness of human enamel after induction of erosion. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 26 healthy human-impacted third molar teeth were chosen, and their hardness measured using a microhardness testing machine. The samples were...

In the present study, amorphous tricalcium phosphate (TCP) has been synthetized by a wet route to obtain low temperature ?-TCP at 650 °C (LT-?TCP) and compare its structural, physical–chemical thermal properties with those of obtained conventional solid-state reaction method 1400 (HT-?TCP). Even if no significant differences were observed concerning values lattice parameters measured Rietveld r...

The repair of early dental caries lesions has been demonstrated by the application of the remineralisation technology based on casein phosphopeptide-stabilised amorphous calcium phosphate complexes (CPP-ACP). These complexes consist of an amorphous calcium phosphate mineral phase stabilised and encapsulated by the self-assembly of milk-derived phosphopeptides. During topical application of CPP-...

statement of problem: the casein phospho peptide-amorphous calcium phosphate with or without fluoride (cpp-acpf and cpp-acp respectively) are of considerably new materials which are highly recommended for prevention of dental caries. however, there is a shortage in literature on how they affect the ion concentration of saliva or dental plaque. objectives: the aim of this study was to evaluate t...

Thin films of amorphous carbon and amorphous, graphitic and fullerene-like carbon nitride were deposited by reactive magnetron sputtering and optically characterized with spectroscopic ellipsometry. Complementary studies using scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy were performed. The films were exposed to human serum albumin (HSA) and the adsorption was monitored in situ usin...
