Introduction: The objective of this study was to investigate the antibacterial, biocompatibility, and mechanical properties of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) set using a calcium lactate gluconate (CLG) solution.
Methods: ProRoot white MTA (WMTA) (Dentsply Tulsa Dental, Tulsa, OK) was used as the control group; MTA-like cement was prepared by mixing Portland cement/bismuth oxide/calcium sulfate (75/20/5) as the experiment group. A solution of 23.1 wt% CLG was used as a hydration accelerant and was compared with deionized water (DDW). Changes in pH values, antibacterial properties, in vitro cell viability, and diametral tensile strength (DTS) of the hydrated cements were assessed.
Results: Like WMTA, pH values for the MTA-like cement set using DDW and the CLG solution showed minor but statistically significant differences (P < .05). The antibacterial effects of hydrated specimens set by DDW and CLG against Streptococcus mutans assessed with an in vitro tube dilution test showed a significant difference in the early hydration time but no significant difference after 60 minutes (P > .05). A mouse osteoblastic cell (MC3T3-E1)-based MTT assay revealed that WMTA set using CLG had significantly higher cell viability than that set using DDW (P < .05). The DTS test for hydrated MTA-like cement with different liquids showed a significant difference on day 1 but no statistical difference on day 21.
Conclusions: The results suggest that using a CLG solution as the hydration accelerant may enhance the biocompatibility but not compromise WMTA's antibacterial and mechanical properties.

The need for a sustainable hydrogen supply has sparked significant efforts to develop effective liquid hydrogen carriers with high hydrogen content that can be safely stored and undergo controlled hydrogen release. However, a major challenge lies in the ultralow hydrogen evolution rate caused by the direct dehydrogenation of liquid hydrogen carriers. Conventionally, accelerant additives are employed to improve the dehydrogenation rate, but this strategy inevitably sacrifices the hydrogen storage density.

Chabazite (CHA type) zeolite is notoriously difficult to synthesize in the absence of organic structure-directing agents owing to long synthesis times and/or impurity formation. The ability to tailor organic-free syntheses of zeolites is additionally challenging due to the lack of molecular level understanding of zeolite nucleation and growth pathways, particularly the role of inorganic cations. In this study, we reveal that zeolite CHA can be synthesized using six different combinations of inorganic cations, including the first reported seed- and organic-free synthesis without the presence of potassium.

Materials And Method: Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) has many clinical applications in dentistry; the main drawback is the long setting. The main objective is to investigate and compare the chemical effect of using two commercially available hyaluronic acid hydrogels (HA) instead of distilled water for mixing MTA as an accelerant of setting time. Test materials were divided into three groups; Group 1: (control) mixing MTA with distilled water supplied by the manufacturer; Group 2: mixing MTA with a hybrid cooperative complex of high and low molecular weight HA (Profhilo®); Group 3: mixing MTA with High molecular weight / non-cross-linked HA (Jalupro®).

A new cement-based sealing material, which used Portland cement (PC) as a raw material and supplemented several gel components, such as accelerant, alkali activator, suspension agent, expansion agent, reinforcing agent, was prepared in this work. The effects of these components on the fluidity, setting time, and expansion rate of these sealing materials were investigated by an orthogonal test. The results show that the water-cement ratio and the reinforcing agent content, the accelerant content and the water-cement ratio, and the expansion agent content and the accelerant content are the most important influencing factors on fluidity, setting time, and expansion rate, respectively.
