Distrontium Cerate as a Radiopaque Component of Hydraulic Endodontic Cement.

This study aimed to synthesize distrontium cerate (2SrO·CeO: SCe) and evaluate its properties as an alternative component of the endodontic cement. SCe cement was prepared through calcination of strontium hydroxide and cerium carbonate. Subsequently, the crystal phase was confirmed using X-ray diffraction.
