Introduction: α-Calcium sulfate hemihydrate (α-CSH) is a widely used artificial bone graft material, but it suffers from rapid deterioration and limited osteoinductivity. This study aims to develop composite cements by combining treated dentin matrix (TDM) with α-CSH to enhance osteogenic properties for the healing of bone deformities.
Methods: The composite cements were prepared by mixing treated dentin matrix (TDM) with α-calcium sulfate hemihydrate (α-CSH) and characterized for their mechanical, morphological, and chemical properties using a universal mechanical testing machine, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The biological performance was assessed by measuring osteoblast proliferation using the CCK-8 test and evaluating new bone formation in a calvarial bone defect model in rats.
Results: The compressive strength of the TDM/α-CSH cements decreased with increasing TDM mass ratio, while SEM analysis revealed a distinct three-dimensional porous network structure and increased surface roughness upon thorough mixing. XRD and FTIR studies confirmed the physical mixture of the two materials without phase changes. The TDM/α-CSH composites significantly stimulated osteoblast proliferation, which was dependent on the TDM content, and demonstrated superior enhancement in new bone formation as confirmed by X-ray examination and micro-CT analysis.
Discussion: The findings suggest that TDM/α-CSH composite cements have promising potential as an alternative for repairing bone defects due to their improved mechanical properties, osteoblast proliferation, and enhanced new bone formation .
Conclusion: TDM/α-CSH composite cements show potential as a novel bone graft material, offering advantages in terms of mechanical strength, osteoconductivity, and osteoinductivity, making them a viable option for bone repair applications.

Background: Hydrophilic monomer 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA)-free adhesive systems are gaining increasing popularity nowadays. Although the addition of HEMA to dental adhesives improves dentin wettability and resin diffusion into demineralized collagen fibrils, HEMA's high hydrophilicity can lead to hydrolytic degradation of the adhesive interface. Thus, HEMA-free adhesive systems have been developed.

The migration and immobilization of heavy metals in soil and groundwater pose significant environmental challenges, particularly in the context of Cr(VI), a highly toxic and mobile contaminant. Self-hardening slurry materials, commonly used for trench cutoff walls, have gained great attention due to their potential for pollutant containment. However, the relationship between their adsorption properties and pollutant diffusion behaviors remains poorly understood.
