Abstract

Introduction: Several factor limits of services of dental composite have triggered further improvement. ZrO2-Al2O3-SiO2 system as filler of dental composite had been developed with sol-gel technique. Ultrasonic homogeniser were reported to change the particle size ditribution or shape. Unifom size and distribution of particle is believed to help define the behavior of hardness properties. Methods: The study was an laboratory experimental design. Filler ZrO2-Al2O3-SiO2 system were developed via sol-gel methods. Post calcination process, filler were immerse in ethanol and applied with ultrasonic homogeniser, with various amplitude i.e 50 rpm, 60 rpm and 80 rpm then named sample A, B, and C. XRD, SEM anda PSA were used to characterize of filler system. Subsequent filler were used to fabricate dental composite then evaluate the hardness value using micro-hardness tester. One–way ANOVA was used to analysis the statistical result of hardness value. Results: XRD pattern of three sample were similar in which tetragonal zirconia was prominent (57-61 %) followed by monoclinic zirconia (24-25%) and amorphous (15-17 %). While, SEM and PSA characterization showed amplitude 50 rpm (sample A) produce more uniform size and well-distributed particle filler than the others. In contrary, sample B and C showed higher peak in PSA results. It means there was dominating of filler with particular size.  However, the hardness value did not show significant differences between those filler (p>0,05). Conclusion: Dental composite that contain of different uniformity and distribution of filler ZrO2-Al2O3-SiO2 system has no significantly differences of hardness value.

This method was proven to create porosity roughness and CaP compounds on implants through immersion in a solution of CaCl2 and Na2HPO4. The study aimed to determine the microstructure of the surface-modified titanium dental implant prototype using the alternate soaking process method with different concentrations of CaCl2 and Na2HPO4. Methods: A descriptive exploratory research was conducted on the samples, which were titanium implant prototype sized 20x15x0.5mm, divided into four categories based on the treatment. Samples without pre-treatment and surface modification were determined as control (L0). Samples with pre-treatment and surface modification using the alternate soaking process method with CaCl2 and Na2HPO4 solutions of 67 mmol/L and 40 mmol/L were determined as L1; concentrations of 200 mmol/L and 120 mmol/L as L2; concentrations of 600 mmol/L and 360 mmol/L as L3. Results: The microstructural examinations showed that samples in the L0 group were not porous, while samples in the L1, L2, and L3 groups appeared to be porous, with the porous size of 80-150, 400-700, and 50-90 m, respectively. Increasing CaCl2 and Na2HPO4 increased the amount of white deposit (CaP) on the titanium implant prototype surface. The samples in group L0 showed a higher TiO2 layer than samples in group L1, L2, and L3 with thickness figures of 135, 70.5, 104, and 92 m, consecutively. Conclusions: Surface modified titanium dental implant prototype with alternate soaking process method with 200 mmol/L of CaCl2 and 20 mmol/L of Na2HPO4 produced a porous microstructure which has the potential to be more optimal in inducing bone tissue growth.Keywords: dental implant; titanium; surface modification; alternate soaking process

Abstract

Background. Particles of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) have been applied in a number of fields, including as dental biomaterial. Because CaCO3 particles have three distinct polymorphs and complex crystallization behavior, it is difficult to systematically adjust their physical properties for desired applications. Objective. This investigation aims to examine the influence of the addition of the 0.02 M HCl additive on the phase and size of the CaCO3 particles synthesized with the fine bubble diffuser method. Methods. The type of research is descriptive explorative. There were two sample groups in this study, and each group had three replications (n = 3). Group 1 added 0.02 M of HCl as an addition to the as-prepared material, while Group 2 added no HCl at all. The phase of CaCO3 was evaluated by using the FTIR (Thermo Scientific Nicolet iS5), while the particle size was measured via DLS (Horiba Scientifica SZ-100 Nanopartica) Result. The results showed the sample of CaCO3 without any additive posesses Amorphous Calcium Carbonate (ACC) and calcite. Meanwhile, sample of CaCO3 with addition of HCL 0.02 M showed ACC, calcites and vaterite phase. Particle size of CaCO3 without additve is larger than another one. Conclusion. In this study, the addition of the additive HCl 0.02 resulted in a decrease in the pH of the solution resulting in a phase change from clacite to vaterite as well as decreasing the particle size of CaCO3.

Abstract

Nylon is a biocompatible thermoplastic polymer that is well known for its excellent fracture resistance, making it suitable for fabricating fiber-reinforced composite (FRC)-based dental bridges. FRC is widely used in dentistry. This study aimed to investigate the structural and morphological characteristics of the nylon 6 fiber prepared using five different weights of nylon 6 dissolved in formic acid. The nylon 6 fiber was successfully fabricated via a simple wet spinning method using water as a coagulant. The fiber was then characterized using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, optical microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. FTIR spectroscopy confirmed the presence of nylon 6 characteristics in the fiber in the form of N–H and C=O groups at a specific wave number. The differences in the diameter and morphological shape of the fiber were attributed to the nylon 6 different concentrations. Furthermore, the nylon 6 fiber can be used to produce cost-effective products and realize suitable characteristics for use as an alternative to traditional materials for fabricating direct dental bridges.

Abstract

Background. Currently, researchers are working on the development of dental composite fillers that are composed of a combination of two or more inorganic materials. Objective. The study aims to synthesis mullite-zirconia using the sol-gel method and observe the influence of zirconia on the particle characteristics of the filler including the size of the diameter, distribution and charge of the filler. Methods. The design of this study is descriptive explorative. The study consisted of four sample groups: 100% mullite (M); 85% Muliite - 15% zirconia (MZ15); 80% Mullite - 20% circonia(MZ20); 75% mullites - 25% zirconía (MZ25). The mullite-zirconia filler synthesis was initiated by mixing the hydrolyzed-precursor after hydrolysis stage then were dried for 6 hours at 100 °C. The ZrO2 was mixed with the Mullite according to the prescribed ratio. The sample was then characterized using Particle size analysis and Zeta potential (HORIBA) Result. The results showed that the mullite-zirconia particle sizes decrease as the amount of zirconia added after the hydrolysis phase increases. Sample M, MZ15 and MZ20 showed polydisperse particle distribution while MZ25 showed monodispersed particle distribution. Mullite and mullite-zirconia particle loads in the range of 10-30 mV. This shows that the stability of the particle is incipient Conclusion. Nano-sized mullite-zirconia particles were successfully synthesized using sol-gel methods. Increased zirconium in the mullite-zirconia ratio decreased the diameter of the particle and particle load and resulted in a more homogeneous particle distribution

Abstract

Background. There are multiple techniques for generating CaCO3, one of which is the carbonation method. Currently, the particle size of CaCO3 is primarily determined by the combined influence of various variables. Objective. This study investigates the effect of precursor concentrations, pH of the solution, and carbonation duration on the size of CaCO3 particles Methods. The type of research in this study is experimental laboratory with a descriptive presentation of data. This study is divided into two stages: first, synthesis of CaCO3 with different concentration of precursors and carbonation duration. Second, it used different pH value of the solution and carbonation duration. The particle size of CaCO3 were characterized using the Particle Size Analyzer (PSA) (Horiba Scientific SZ-100 Nanopartica).  Result. The result show the smallest CaCO3 at first stage, 548 nm, obtained at concentration of 0.75 M with carbonation duration of 30 minutes. The largest CaCO3-size, 6194 nm, is seen at a 0.5 M concentration with a carbonation duration of 10 minutes. The second stage show the smallest particle size, 1165 nm, obtained at a pH value of 8 with a carbonation duration of 60 minutes. Meanwhile, the largest size, 5621 nm, is obtaining at a pH value of 9 with a carbonation duration of 90 minutes Conclusion. The concentration of precursors and the duration of carbonation have no effect on the size of CaCO3 particles, however the pH value of the solution may affect the particle size of CaCO3. It is directly proportional to the pH value of the solution

Abstract

ABSTRACTIntroduction: Rice husk silica has been studied as a filler in dental composite, however, the mechanical properties of the resulting composites are below the commercial due to the poor surface modification between silica and resin matrix. 3-methacryloxyprpyltrimethoxysilane (MPTS) is one of the coupling agents that are effective to modify the silica surface. The purpose of this study to analyze the effect of MPTS on the diametral tensile strength (DTS) of the self-made composite using rice husk silica.  Methods: The research type of this study was an experimental research laboratory. The samples (26 samples) were divided into two groups, namely the test group (using MPTS-modified silica) and the control group (using non-modified silica). The samples were cylindrical in shape with a diameter of 6.0 ± 0.1 mm and a height of 3.0 ± 0.1 mm according to ANSI/ADAS No. 27, 1993 and ISO 4049, 1988. The Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), HORIBA, was used to characterize the MPTS grafting on the silica surface. The DTS value is measured by Universal Testing Machine (UTM), Lloyd LRX Plus. Results: FTIR presents the additional peak of carboxyl and methacryloyl group at 1716, 1555, and 1410 cm-1 wavenumber, respectively in MPTS-modified silica. The DTS value of the test group was 43.40 ± 4.43 MPa and the control group was 25.80 ± 2.63 MPa. The test group was significantly higher than the control group (p-value = 0.001). Conclusion: The MPTS is effective to enhance the DTS value of rice husk silica-based composite.Keywords: Rice husk silica; dental composite; diametral tensile strength; 3-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane.

Abstract

ABSTRACTIntroduction: Calcite (CaCO3) is typically used in commercial toothpaste with particle size ranges from 1-12 μm. In the latest study, calcite was synthesized by using Ca(OH)2 precursor from natural resources However, the resulting particle size does not match the size of the toothpaste filler. This study aims to prepare micro-calcite via fine-bubble assisted carbonation as toothpaste material. Methods: The calcite powder was prepared from Ca(OH)2 analytical grade powder utilizing the fine-bubble carbonation process with the Ca(OH)2 concentration and initial pH variation. The study was started by making a Ca(OH)2 suspension with a concentration of 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1 and 1.25 M using 2.000 ml methanol as a solvent. 0.5 M NaH2PO4 solutions were utilized to adjust the initial pH of 0.5 M Ca(OH)2 suspension into 8, 9, and 10. The suspensions were aerated using CO2 fine-bubble for two hours to produce CaCO3 samples. All precipitated CaCO3 particles were characterized by PSA, Zeta-Potential, and FTIR measurements. Results: The calcite phase was identified from the FTIR transmittance. Aragonite or vaterite phase was not observed in the samples. PSA result shows the size of CaCO3 particles from samples 0.25 M to 1.25 M are as follows 3.03, 3.23, 2.79, 3.70, 0.99 μm respectively. Meanwhile, the particle sizes of CaCO3 in samples with a pH of 8, 9 and 10 are 3.00, 2.03 and 2.50 μm respectively. The zeta potential shows the value ranges from -23.2 mV to -11.9 mV, indicating fair dispersion ability. Conclusion: The fine bubble assisted carbonation method in this study helps in producing calcite in micron size that could be used as alternative fillers for toothpaste.Keywords: calcite, fine-bubble, carbonation, particle size, toothpaste
