Two types of mechanical tests were performed on the samples: flexural strength and hardness. Results: Statistical analysis results revealed that non-significant increase in flexural strength of heat cured reinforced with ZrO2 Nps and ZnO Nps for all concentrations. While adding 1.5% and 5% of TiO2 Nps showed significant increase in flexural strength but 3% showed significant decrease values. Results revealed that non-significant decrease in hardness of heat cured reinforced with ZrO2 Nps ,TiO2 Nps, and ZnO Nps for all concentrations except 3% of heat cured reinforced with TiO2 Nps which showed non-significant increase in hardness. Conclusions: It was discovered that adding of 1.5and 5% Tio2 Nps to the used denture base materials would improve the flexural strength of the denture base materials. Also, adding 1.5, 3 and 5 % ZrO2, Tio2, and ZnO Nps reduces the microhardness. of its merits this material has many applications including biomedical and dental prostheses.

The objective of this study was to investigate histologicaly the capability of zeolite to induce dentin bridge formation and compare it with calcium hydroxide. Subjects and methods: Four dogs aged 12-24 month were included in the present study. In each dog, pulpotomy procedures were carried out in four premolars teeth in each quadrant and restored with one of the experimental materials in a way that teeth in each quadrant restored with one material differ from that of the contralateral quadrant. Specimens were harvested on the sixth week after operation and twelfth week after operative procedures, prepared and examined histologically by H&E (haematoxylin and eosin) stain, there were wide histological differences between the groups of this study along the different intervals of the study. Results: The result of the present study revealed inflammatory response of pulp tissue to both tested materials with various de-grees that were subsided by time only in calcium hydroxide group. Calcium hydroxide has a powerful agent for regenerative effect on pulp tissue with dentin bridge formation. On the contrary; pulp degeneration and necrosis were the end results of pulpotomy with zeolite material.

Half of the bone specimens prepared for the routine laboratory processing, histological and histomorphometric, while The remaining specimens were scanned by Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) for bone mineral density measurement and then used for bone mineral composition determination by Energy Dispersive X-ray Analyses (EDX).

Subjects and Methods: Eight male mongrel dogs weighing 10-15 kg and 12-18 months old were chosen for this study. The pulp exposure was done via the preparation of a class V cavity on the buccal surface of the premolar teeth.
