Nanomedicine 2017: Effect of colloidal nano-silica on setting time, radiopacity and physical properties of a nano cement based compound for endodontic applications
Author(s): Mohammad Reza Sanaee
Long setting time is one of the main disadvantages of cements in endodontics procedures. The main objective of this study is to decrease the setting time of a nano cement based compound (NCBC) (similar materials to white mineral trioxide aggregate). Accordingly, colloidal nano-silica instead of distilled water were added to NCBC and its effect on setting time, radiopacity, compressive strength, flexural strength was measured and analyzed. The initial and final setting times were measured using the Gilmore apparatus according to regulations of American Dental Association specification no. 57 and.. View More»
