Objectives: To investigate the tubule occlusion and remineralization potential of a novel toothpaste with active tetracalcium phosphate/monetite mixtures under de/remineralization cycling.

Methods: Dentin de/remineralization cycling protocol consisted of demineralization in 1% citric acid at pH 4.6 with following remineralization with toothpastes and soaking in artificial saliva. Effectiveness of toothpastes to promote remineralization was evaluated by measurement of microhardness recovery, analysis of surface roughness, thickness of coating and scanning electron microscopy.

Results: The novel tetracalcium phosphate/monetite dentifrice had comparable remineralization potential as commercial calcium silicate/phosphate (SENSODYNE) and magnesium aluminum silicate (Colgate) toothpastes and significantly higher than control saliva (p<0.02). Surface roughness was significantly lower after treatment with prepared and SENSODYNE dentifirice (p<0.05). The coatings on dentin surfaces was significantly thicker after applying toothpastes as compared to negative control (p<0.001).

Conclusions: The new fluoride toothpaste formulation with bioactive tetracalcium phosphate/monetite calcium phosphate mixture effectively occluded dentin tubules and showed good dentin remineralization potential under de/remineralization cycling. It could replace professional powder preparation based on this mixture. It was demonstrated that prepared dentifrice had comparable properties with commercial fluoride calcium silicate/phosphate or magnesium aluminum silicate dentifrices.

A tetracalcium phosphate/monetite/calcium sulfate hemihydrate powder cement mixture (CAS) in the form of a paste was used as a socket preservative to prevent alveolar ridge resorption after the extraction of the second premolar tooth in the mandible of a pig model. During the post-surgery period, the animals were monitored daily. No signs of inflammation, infection, or other complications were observed in the defect site for six months.

The effect of nanosilica on the microstructure setting process of tetracalcium phosphate/nanomonetite calcium phosphate cement mixture (CPC) with the addition of 5 wt% of magnesium pyrophosphate (assigned as CT5MP) and osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells cultured in cement extracts were studied. A more compact microstructure was observed in CT5MP cement with 0.5 wt% addition of nanosilica (CT5MP1Si) due to the synergistic effect of MgPO particles, which strengthened the cement matrix and nanosilica, which supported gradual growth and recrystallization of HAP particles to form compact agglomerates.

Article Synopsis
  • Magnesium pyrophosphate modified tetracalcium phosphate/monetite cement mixtures (MgTTCPM) were created using a simple ball milling method, chosen for their favorable setting properties compared to other additives.
  • These mixtures showed consistent dissolution of the MgPO phase and the formation of weakly bound HAP nanoparticles, leading to a compressive strength of 14 MPa and a setting time between 5-10 minutes, influenced by their composition.
  • The cements exhibited no cytotoxicity and promoted the growth of mesenchymal stem cells, with increased expression of bone-related genes, suggesting they could be effective biomaterials for treating bone defects.

Article Synopsis
  • The CFIB composite was created by mixing tetracalcium phosphate/monetite powder with silk fibroin, leading to a cement with adjustable properties based on the amount of silk fibroin added.
  • The addition of silk fibroin increased the setting time of the cement and resulted in a compressive strength similar to that of cancellous bone.
  • Tests showed that the CFIB10 cement promotes cell growth and enhances osteogenic gene expression, making it a promising option for treating bone defects.

A modified one-step process was used to prepare tetracalcium phosphate/monetite/calcium sulfate hemihydrate powder cement mixtures (CAS). The procedure allowed the formation of monetite and calcium sulfate hemihydrate (CSH) in the form of nanoparticles. It was hypothesized that the presence of nanoCSH in small amounts enhances the in vitro bioactivity of CAS cement in relation to osteogenic gene markers in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs).
