Comparison of compressive strength of five hydraulic cements

ABSTRACT

Objectives: maintaining pulp vitality is a main goal in restorative dentistry. Introduction of pulp capping agents paved the way to eliminate the shortcomings of these materials and obtain successful restorations. On the other hand, nanotechnology is an emerging field of science with increasing use in dental materials. This study sought to assess the effect of addition of nano-TiO[2], nano-SiO[2] and nano-Al[2]O[3] on compressive strength of five hydraulic cements
