X-ray, FTIR, and Raman spectra were used to measure the spectral properties of three kinds of zinc phosphate hydrate. Spectral changes with crystalline water were analyzed. The thermal stability of zinc phosphate tetrahydrate was studied by TG-DTA to identify the existent temperature of zinc phosphate hydrate. The results show that the differences in crystalline water among these hydrates results in the variation in both 2theta characteristic values and peaks. The FTIR spectra reflect H--O--H strength information (1 600 cm(-1)) and O--H bond stretching vibrations (3 400-3 500 cm(-1)). Raman spectra show the difference in P--O bond stretching mode at 400-700 cm(-1) and the shape of O--H stretching peak. According to the mass-loss curves, the onset temperature of zinc phosphate tetrahydrate was 95 degrees C. Heating to 145 degrees C was accompanied by the removal of 2H2O and transform into Zn3 (PO4)2 x 2H2O, indicating that Zn3 (PO4)2 x 2H2O was established at this temperature. Zn3 (PO4)2 x H2O can be obtained by heating to 195 degrees C. The third stage of dehydration gave an anhydrous Zn3 (PO4)2 phase.

Purpose: To investigate how varying ferrule heights and the number of glass fiber posts affect fracture resistance and behavior of endodontically treated maxillary first premolars with substantial loss of tooth structure.
Materials And Methods: Twenty-four extracted endodontically treated human maxillary first premolars were divided into three groups (n = 8) based on ferrule height and post number. The groups were as follows: premolars of 2 mm ferrule height that were restored with single posts (control group), premolars of 0.

Various ingredients are utilized to inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria associated with cavities, gum disease, and bad breath. However, the precise mechanisms by which these ingredients affect the oral microbiome have not been fully understood at the molecular level. To elucidate the molecular mechanisms, a high-throughput bacterial transcriptomics study was conducted, and the gene expression profiles of six common oral bacteria, including two Gram-positive bacteria (, ) and four Gram-negative bacteria (, , , and ), were analyzed.

Blue light will be a promising alternative for photodynamic therapy in psoriasis, but the photosensitizer in vivo remains unexplored. Mesoporous zinc phosphate microparticle (MZP) was synthesized successfully in this study, as evidenced by XPS, XRD, and nitrogen adsorption experiments. Its psoriatic skin-sensitive property was corroborated by SEM and the higher cumulative release rate of that impregnated with curcumin (Cur) and glycyrrhizic acid (GA), namely Cur-GA-MZP, at pH 5.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of zinc phosphate (ZnP) cement, glass ionomer cement (GIC), and nano-integrated bio-ceramic (NIB) cement on mineralization when placed in contact with bone tissue-forming cells. ZnP cement, GIC, and NIB cement were divided into direct and indirect groups. A total of 72 cement pellets (24 pellets of each test sample) of 3 × 1 mm (width × height) were prepared using polytetrafluoroethylene molds.
