Published: April 2002

Quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS) has been used to investigate the single-particle dynamics of interfacial water in dicalcium silicate (C2S)/water paste. Our previous neutron-scattering studies on interfacial water have focused attention on the translational dynamics of the center of mass of water molecules. In this paper, we have collected QENS data on a wider range of wave-vector transfer so that both translational and rotational motions of water molecules are detected. The data have been analyzed by models for translation and rotation we recently proposed for supercooled water. The evolution of the parameters describing the relaxational dynamics of water embedded in the C2S matrix is given at temperature T=303 K as a function of the curing time.

Objectives: This study aimed to verify if composites containing dicalcium phosphate dihydrate particles (DCPD) are able to induce dentin remineralization in vitro. Additionally, the mechanical properties of the materials were tested.

Methods: Four composites with 50 vol% inorganic content and 1 BisGMA: 1 TEGDMA (mols) were prepared, with different DCPD:glass ratios (50:0, 40:10, 30:20 and 0:50).

Background: The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of 7 different desensitizing agents on the shear bond strength (SBS) of zirconia restorations to dentin with a self-adhesive resin cement and determine the failure modes.

Methods: Eighty molars' occlusal surfaces were ground to expose dentin and were randomly divided into 8 groups (n = 10): 1. Gluma (HEMA/Glutaraldehyde) 2.

Belitic cements are a greener alternative to Ordinary Portland Cement due to the lower CO associated with their production. However, their low reactivity with water is currently a drawback, resulting in longer setting times. In this study, we utilize a combination of evolutionary algorithms and machine learning atomic potentials (MLPs) to identify previously unreported belite polymorphs that may exhibit higher hydraulic reactivity than the known phases.

Objective: To evaluate experimental dimethacrylate-based materials containing calcium orthophosphates or calcium silicate particles in terms of their optical, mechanical and Ca release behaviour.

Methods: Dicalcium phosphate dihydrate (DCPD), hydroxyapatite (HAp), beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) or calcium silicate (CaSi) particles were added to a photocurable BisGMA/TEGDMA resin (1:1 in mols) at a 30 vol% fraction. Materials containing silanized or non-silanized barium glass particles were used as controls.

Objective: To investigate the effect of hydrophilic/permeable polymer matrices on water sorption/solubility (WS/SL), Ca release, mechanical properties and hydrolytic degradation of composites containing dicalcium phosphate dihydrate (DCPD) particles.

Methods: Six composites were tested, all with 10 vol% of glass particles and either 30 vol% or 40 vol% DCPD. Composites containing 1BisGMA:1TEGDMA in mols (at both inorganic levels) were considered controls.
