ABSTRACT
Introduction: This study aimed to prepare a new root repair material including Portland cement, bismuth oxide, and nano-hydroxyapatite and analyze its physicochemical properties and its effects on the proliferation and differentiation of human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs). Material and Methods: Bismuth oxide as a radiopaque component and nano-hydroxyapatite particles were added to white Portland cement at 20% and 5% weight ratio, respectively. Characterization of the prepared cement was done using conventional methods. To examine the bioactivity of this new material, atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) was used for the investigation of the rate of calcium ions dissolution in simulated body fluid media. The viability of hDPSCs was assessed by an MTT assay after 1, 3 and 7 days. The odontogenic potential of this substance was evaluated by measuring alkaline phosphatase activity and alizarin red S staining. Results: Based on the bioactivity results, the cement presented high bio-activity, corroborating sufficiently with the calcium release patterns. The cell viability was significantly increased in new root repair material containing hydroxyapatite nanoparticles after 3 and 7 days (p<0.05). Conclusion: Moreover, alkaline phosphatase activity increased over 7 days in all experimental groups. The new cement containing nano-hydroxyapatite particles could be a good root repair material.
Objetivo: Este estudio tuvo como objetivo preparar un nuevo material de reparación de raíces que incluye cemento Portland, óxido de bismuto y nano-hidroxiapatita y analizar sus propiedades fisicoquímicas y sus efectos sobre la proliferación y diferenciación de células madre de pulpa dental humana. Material y Métodos: El óxido de bismuto como compo-nente radiopaco y las partículas de nano-hidroxiapatita se agregaron al cemento Portland blanco en una proporción en peso del 20 % y el 5 %, respectivamente. La caracterización del cemento preparado se realizó utilizando métodos con-vencionales. Para examinar la bioactividad de este nuevo material, se utilizó la espectroscopia de absorción atómica para investigar la velocidad de disolución de los iones de calcio en medio fluido corporal simulado. La viabilidad de las células madre de pulpa dental humana se evaluó mediante un ensayo MTT después de 1, 3 y 7 días. El potencial odontogénico de esta sustancia se evaluó midiendo la actividad de la fosfatasa alcalina y la tinción con rojo de alizarina S.Resultados: Con base en los resultados de bioactividad, el cemento presentó alta bioactividad, corroborando suficientemente con los patrones de liberación de calcio. La viabilidad celular aumentó significativamente en el nuevo material de reparación de raíces que contenía nanopartículas de hidroxiapatita después de 3 y 7 días (p<0,05). Conclusión: Además, la actividad de la fosfatasa alcalina aumentó durante 7 días en todos los grupos experimentales. El nuevo cemento que contiene partículas de nanohidroxiapatita podría ser un buen material de reparación radicular.

A hidroxiapatita (HA) é o principal constituinte mineral de ossos e dentes, e têm sido foco de grande interesse na biomedicina devido sua excelente biocompatibilidade e bioatividade, em especial para aplicação em implantes dentários e ortopedia. Na odontologia estudos mostram o sucesso do uso de nanopartículas (NP) de HA para tratamento de hipersensibilidade dentinária, remineralização de lesões de cárie em esmalte, reparação e prevenção de lesões de erosão iniciais. No entanto, existem evidências que o tamanho do cristal desempenha um papel essencial na formação dos tecidos duros e possui significante influência nas propriedades intrínsecas destes cristais, incluindo solubilidade e, consequentemente, biocompatibilidade. Este trabalho teve como objetivo verificar a síntese e caracterização de nanopartículas de hidroxiapatita funcionalizadas e avaliar a influência de sua aplicação no processo adesivo em dentina. Nanopartículas de HA com diferentes tamanhos e morfologia foram sintetizadas pelo método de precipitação em solução aquosa. Foi investigada a influência de dois novos ligantes, ácido deoxicólico (AD) e ácido abiético (AB), no preparo da NP de HA. As NP foram caracterizadas através das análises de espectroscopia por dispersão de raios X (EDX), Difratometria de Raios X (DRX), Espalhamento de Luz Dinâmica (DLS), Microscopia Eletrônica de Transmissão (MET), Microscopia Eletrônica de Varredura (MEV), Microscopia de Força Atômica (AFM). Os resultados mostraram que a adição destes ligantes alteram a morfologia mas não o arranjo cristalino da HA. Para o estudo da interação das NP de HA com o colágeno foi utilizado a NP modificada por AD...
Hydroxyapatite (HA) is the major mineral component of bones and teeth, and has been the focus of great interest in biomedicine because of its excellent biocompatibility and bioactivity, in particular for application in dental and orthopedic implants. In dentistry studies have shown the successful use of nanoparticles (NP) of HA for the treatment of dentin hypersensitivity, remineralization of caries lesions in enamel, repair and injury prevention of initial erosion. However, there is evidence that the size of the crystal plays an essential role in the formation of hard tissues and has significant influence on the intrinsic properties of these crystals, including solubility and biocompatibility. This study aims to verify the possibility of functionalized hydroxyapatite nanoparticles and evaluate possible benefits of using these during the adhesive process in dentin. HA with different sizes and morphology were synthesized by precipitation method in aqueous solution. Furthermore, the influence of two new ligands, deoxycholic acid (AD) and abietic acid (AB) in the preparation of HA NP were investigated. The NP were characterized by analysis of EDX, DRX, DLS...

Hydroxyapatite (HA) has been earmarked as suitable for implantation within the human of its chemical makeup to human bone. In this paper, HA powders were synthesized via the precipitation method where phosphoric acid (H3PO4) was titrated into calcium hydroxide solution [Ca(OH)2]. Two parameters such as temperature and stirring rate were identified as factors that influenced the amount and purity of HA powder. Phase identification of the synthesized powder was done using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). The results show that HA phase can be synthesized from this titration process of Ca(OH)2 and H3PO4 with yield amount of HA powder around 45 - 61 grams but with less than hundred percent purity. In order to study the effect of heat treatment to HA crystals structure, HA powder was calcined at 850 degrees C for 2 hours. It's found that the degree of crystallinity increases after calcination because of lattice expansion when the materials were heated at higher temperature
