Comparing the release of growth factors when partially demineralized tooth matrix is mixed with platelet rich fibrin and injectable platelet rich fibrin: An observational study.

Context: Platelet concentrates are rich in growth factors that assist in regenerative medicine to promote healing and tissue regeneration. Similarly, partially demineralized tooth is a storehouse of many growth factors, assisting in bone regeneration. Hence, the present study aimed to quantify the release of growth factors from different platelet concentrates individually and when mixed with a partially demineralized tooth matrix.

Investigation of Spark Plasma Sintering on Microstructure-Properties of Zirconia Reinforced Fluormica Glass for Dental Restorations.

Background: Conventional sintering methods of dental ceramics have limitations of high temperature and slow cooling rates with requirements of additional heat treatment for crystallization. Spark plasma sintering (SPS) is an emerging technique that has the potential to process dental restorations with dense microstructures and tailor-made clinically relevant properties with optimized processing parameters. This study explored the potential of the SPS of zirconia-reinforced fluormica glass (FM) for dental restorative materials.

Structural, Magnetic, and Magnetostriction Properties of Flexible, Nanocrystalline CoFeO Films Made by Chemical Processing.

We report on the simple, single-step, and cost-effective fabrication, characterization, and performance evaluation of cobalt ferrite (CoFeO; CFO) nanocrystalline (NC) thin films on a flexible mica substrate. The chemical solution-based drop-casting method employed to fabricate crystalline CFO films and their characterization was performed by studying the phase formation, surface morphology, and magnetic parameters, while sensor applicability was evaluated using combined magnetic and magnetostrictive properties. X-ray diffraction (XRD) indicates the single-phase and nanocrystalline nature of CFO films, where the crystallite size is ∼60 nm.
