One of the most used characterization techniques in the field of alkaline activated cements studies is infrared spectroscopy. Its prominence lies in that it allows characterizing mixtures during the alkaline activation by providing information about the vibrations of the chemical bonds in the molecular units, both of amorphous and crystalline products. This research paper is aimed at examining the influence of the concentration of calcium hydroxide (CH), sodium hydroxide (SH), temperature and curing time on the structure of alkaline activated cements, based on coal fly ash, from the deconvolution of the infrared spectrum between 4000 and 400 cm. 9 mixtures were analyzed by infrared spectroscopy at 3 and 28 days after curing, based on a surface's response experimental design by varying the amount of SH (5.17-10.83 M), CH (2.93-17.07% ash's wt.) and the curing temperature (25, 35 and 45 °C). The results show significant variations in the frequency and area of the deconvolved bands in the functional groups: O-H (2600-3800 cm), C-O (1580 and 1350 cm) and T-O (T: Si (Al), 1300-400 cm ). Such variations are due to the reorganization of the forming elements (present in the ash) network and modifiers (present in CH and SH) for the formation of cementing gels C-(A) -S-H (970 cm) and N-A-S-H (1009 cm).

Investigate the impact of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) using different photosensitizers (PSs) such as indocyanine green (IG), curcumin (CC), and methylene blue (MB), with or without intracanal application of calcium hydroxide (CH), on the push-out bond strength of glass-fiber posts (GFPs) to intraradicular dentin, the chemical composition of the root substrate, and the sealing of the adhesive interface across different thirds of intraradicular dentin. A total of 112 bovine teeth underwent biomechanical preparation and were divided into eight experimental groups (n = 14 each): Negative control with deionized water; positive control with deionized water + CH; IG group with indocyanine green and infrared laser; IG + CH group; CC group with curcumin and blue LED; CC + CH group; MB group with methylene blue and red laser; and MB + CH group. The push-out bond strength was measured using a universal testing machine (n = 8), and scanning electron microscopy characterized the fracture patterns.

Background/purpose: Heat stress is essential for improving the efficacy of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-based regeneration medicine. However, it is still unclear whether and how heat stress influences the differentiation of stem cells from apical papilla (SCAPs). This research aimed to explore the potential mechanism of glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78) in regulating differentiation under heat stress in SCAPs.

Background/purpose: Bone reconstruction in the maxillofacial region typically relies on autologous bone grafting, which presents challenges, including donor site complications and graft limitations. Recent advances in tissue engineering have identified highly pure and proliferative dedifferentiated fat cells (DFATs) as promising alternatives. Herein, we explored the capacity for osteoblast differentiation and the osteoinductive characteristics of extracellular vesicles derived from DFATs (DFAT-EVs).

Background/purpose: Early osseointegration of titanium (Ti) dental implants relies on the surface topography. Surface modification of Ti seeks to enhance bone regeneration around implants. Acid etching is the simple, less technique sensitive and cost-effective technique for surface treatment.

Background/purpose: studies are essential for understanding cellular responses, but traditional culture systems often neglect the three-dimensional (3D) structure of real implants, leading to limitations in cellular recruitment and behavior largely governed by gravity. The objective of this study was to pioneer a novel 3D dynamic osteoblastic culture system for assessing the biological capabilities of dental implants in a more clinically and physiologically relevant manner.
Materials And Methods: Rat bone marrow-derived osteoblasts were cultured in a 24-well dish with a vertically positioned dental implant.
