Book Amorphous Calcium Phosphate as Bioactive Filler in Polymeric Dental Composites

Download or read book Amorphous Calcium Phosphate as Bioactive Filler in Polymeric Dental Composites written by Drago Skrtic and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As biocompatible and osteo-inductive precursor to biological apatite formation, amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) resorbs at the rate that closely coincides with the rate of new bone formation and is more osteo-conductive than its crystalline counterpart. In addition, in the oral environment, ACP intrinsically provides a protracted supply of the remineralizing calcium and phosphate ions needed for regeneration of mineral lost to tooth decay. These features make ACP composites a strong remineralizing tool at the site of caries attack. Our group has been on the forefront of the research on bioactive, remineralizing, polymeric ACP-based dental materials for over two decades. This entry describes methods for filler, polymer, and composite fabrication and a battery of physicochemical and biological tests involved in evaluation of ACP-based restoratives. Also presented is our most recent design of ACP remineralizing composites with added antimicrobial capability that shows promise for extended dental and, potentially, wider biomedical applications.

Book Structural and Dynamical Studies of Acid mediated Conversion in Amorphous calcium phosphate Based Dental Composites

This book was released on 2014 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our objective was to investigate the complex structural and dynamical conversion process of the amorphous-calcium-phosphate (ACP)-to-apatite transition in ACP based dental composite materials. Composite disks were prepared using zirconia hybridized ACP fillers (0.4 mass fraction) and photo-activated Bis-GMA/TEGDMA resin (0.6 mass fraction). We performed an investigation of the solution-mediated ACP-to-apatite conversion mechanism in controlled acidic aqueous environment with in situ ultra-small angle X-ray scattering based coherent X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy and ex situ X-ray diffraction, as well as other complementary techniques. We established that the ACP-to-apatite conversion in ACP composites is a two-step process, owing to the sensitivity to local structural changes provided by coherent X-rays. Initially, ACP undergoes a local microstructural rearrangement without losing its amorphous character. We established the catalytic role of the acid and found the time scale of this rearrangement strongly depends on the pH of the solution, which agrees with previous findings about ACP without the polymer matrix being present. In the second step, ACP is converted to an apatitic form with the crystallinity of the formed crystallites being poor. Separately, we also confirmed that in the regular Zr-modified ACP the rate of ACP conversion to hydroxyapatite is slowed significantly compared to unmodified ACP, which is beneficial for targeted slow release of functional calcium and phosphate ions from dental composite materials. Significantly, for the first time, we were able to follow the complete solution-mediated transition process from ACP to apatite in this class of dental composites in a controlled aqueous environment. A two-step process, suggested previously, was conclusively identified.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Critical size bone defects are large defects that do not spontaneously heal over time and result in permanent non-union of the bone. These abnormalities can result from traumas, surgeries, and diseases. Surgical methods used to treat these defects include natural (autografts and allografts) and synthetic bone grafts. Autografts draw advantages from diminished immune response but suffer from complications during implantation as well as pain and cosmetic defects during removal. Allograft complications include rejection and infection. Infection can be minimized by sterile processing techniques, but this frequently leads to diminished mechanical properties post-processing. As a consequence of these limitations, synthetic bone grafts have drawn significant interest. Synthetic bone grafts include biodegradable polymers, metals, and ceramics. For example, poly(caprolactone) (PCL) and poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) are biodegradable polymers used widely for medical applications. These materials can be molded into any desired shape; however, they are unsuitable for load-bearing applications as a consequence of their poor mechanical properties post-processing. Bioceramics, such as amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP), benefit from their osteoconductive behavior but are too brittle for load-bearing applications. Combining the biodegradable polymers with bioceramics have shown increased mechanical properties in the composites. The goal of this study was to examine the resulting mechanical properties of combining an L-phenylalanine-based poly(ester urea) (PEU) with various amount of ACP. We hypothesize that adding ACP to the polymer will lead to enhanced mechanical properties compared to the pure polymer.

Uskoković and published by Institute of Technical Sciences of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts. This book was released on 2007-10-01 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past several years, the accent of a number of scientific researches in the countries of the European Union, USA and Japan was focused on the field of biomaterials. Having the direct influence on the quality and longevity of human life, these researches receive significant funding. The bone tissue is an especially interesting subject of scientific research, as much for the frequent osteoporosis as for the formative nature of organism. Natural bone is mostly composed of nanostructural calcium phosphate (hydroxyapatite). Whether bone trauma was caused artificially or through illness, the number of reconstructions increases every year worldwide and thus the monetary investment into this field. Until now, numerous kinds of biomaterials were used for this purpose. Development of equipment and progress in characterization techniques and devices enabled an exponential development of new and advanced biomaterials’ synthesis. Many qualitative and quantitative content concepts and the organization of biomaterials on all structural levels were taken from nature. Biomaterials for the reconstruction of bone tissue, very similar to human tissue, in the form of composite blocks, injectable cements, nano-fillers, etc., were produced this way. Synthesis of calcium phosphate and hydroxyapatite, as well as the composite for the reconstruction of bone tissue, has been a significant research field of a section of Advanced Materials and Processes Department of the Institute of Technical Sciences of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts (ITS SASA) from Belgrade for a number of years. Apart from a number of published scientific papers in leading international journals, lectures presented at the leading universities worldwide, several PhD dissertations defended at various faculties in the land, and several domestic patents, researchers have established the basis of the technological procedure and the production of small series of various products developed in their laboratory. These researches have very wide aspect of significance – from fundamental, scientific to specifically applicative. It can be said that these researches include everything from synthesis, processing, characterization to their application. This book contains 44 papers published in SCI journals since 1999 until May 2007. It is divided into five sections and each assembles the most important results in the specific area: I Synthesis and Processing, II Synthesis, Properties and Characterization of Biomaterials, III Mechanical Properties and Modelling of Biomaterials, IV Biological Evaluation of Biomaterials, V Behaviour of Biomaterials under Radiation Field.
