Abstract
This study synthesized mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) using nano silica and clam shells-derived calcium carbonate, incorporating various radiopacity agents such as bismuth oxide (Bi2O3), zinc oxide (ZnO), and strontium oxide (SrO). The physicochemical characteristics of the synthesized MTA were evaluated to determine the optimal compositions for endodontic applications. The synthesis was conducted using the sol–gel method, which involved solvent mixing, heating, and gel formation, followed by a solid-state reaction at 1000 °C. The obtained products were characterized using XRD, FTIR, and SEM-EDX. The properties of MTA products, including radiopacity, compressive strength, diametral tensile strength, pH, and calcium ion release, were evaluated. Results indicated that ZnO/MTA and SrO/MTA exhibited superior characteristics, forming stable cement structures with the compressive strength of 12.69 ± 0.93 and 11.15 ± 1.26 MPa, respectively, after 14 days of hydration. Bi2O3/MTA demonstrated the highest radiopacity value of 7.96 ± 0.18 mmAl, followed by SrO/MTA (4.17 ± 0.10 mmAl) and ZnO/MTA (3.43 ± 0.35 mmAl). All synthesized products maintained an alkaline pH throughout the 14-day immersion period and exhibited calcium ion release, which was beneficial for inducing apatite formation. These findings suggest that ZnO and SrO are effective radiopacity agents in MTA synthesized from nano silica and clam shell-derived calcium carbonate, enhancing its suitability for endodontic treatments.
期刊介绍:
Polyhedron publishes original, fundamental, experimental and theoretical work of the highest quality in all the major areas of inorganic chemistry. This includes synthetic chemistry, coordination chemistry, organometallic chemistry, bioinorganic chemistry, and solid-state and materials chemistry.
Papers should be significant pieces of work, and all new compounds must be appropriately characterized. The inclusion of single-crystal X-ray structural data is strongly encouraged, but papers reporting only the X-ray structure determination of a single compound will usually not be considered. Papers on solid-state or materials chemistry will be expected to have a significant molecular chemistry component (such as the synthesis and characterization of the molecular precursors and/or a systematic study of the use of different precursors or reaction conditions) or demonstrate a cutting-edge application (for example inorganic materials for energy applications). Papers dealing only with stability constants are not considered.
