A novel injectable boron doped-mesoporous nano bioactive glass loaded-alginate composite hydrogel as a pulpotomy filling biomaterial for dentin regeneration.

Background: Different materials have been used as wound dressings after vital pulp therapies. Some of them have limitations such as delayed setting, difficult administration, slight degree of cytotoxicity, crown discoloration and high cost. Therefore, to overcome these disadvantages, composite scaffolds have been used in regenerative dentistry.

Evaluation of carbon nanotubes-hydroxyapatite nanocomposites as bioactive implant coats radiated by near infrared laser.

This study aimed to evaluate carbon nanotubes-hydroxyapatite nanocomposites as bioactive titanium implant coats and to assess the effect of near-infrared radiation on these nanocomposites. Carbon nanotubes were acid-functionalized, and hydroxyapatite was prepared by the wet-chemical precipitation method. Both precursors were used to prepare the carbon nanotubes-hydroxyapatite nanocomposites in two concentrations of hydroxyapatite (0.
