Enhancement of Apatite Formation Ability of Mineral Trioxide Aggregates Using Bioactive Glass

AbstractPurpose: This study aims to assess the impact of adding Bioactive Glass (BG) to Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) to improve MTA's bioactivity and apatite formation ability. Since BG and MTA share similar bioactivity properties, it is hypothesized that a novel combination of the two mentioned materials could enhance MTA's apatite formation ability and ultimately its bioactivity behavior.Methods: BG-MTA Samples were prepared with concentrations of ۱۰ and ۲۰ wt% BG and submerged in Simulated Body Fluid (SBF) to evaluate their compressive strength. The samples were then characterized using SEM, XRD, and FTIR after ۳, ۲۰, and ۴۰ days of incubation.Results: The findings suggest that adding BG to MTA can improve its apatite formation ability and overall bioactivity behavior. This hybrid approach could be a viable option for endodontic clinical application.clinical significanceMTA is a material used in dentistry for various procedures, such as root canal therapy and pulp capping. By enhancing the bioactivity of MTA using BG, it can improve its ability to stimulate the formation of new tissue and promote healing, which can lead to better clinical outcomes for patients.Abstract Purpose: This study aims to assess the impact of adding Bioactive Glass (BG) to Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) to improve MTA's bioactivity and apatite formation ability.
