“…The setting of MTA and tricalcium silicate cement-based materials is impaired in the presence of synthetic tissue fluids (24)(25)(26). Synthetic tissue fluids contain phosphate ions and glucose, both of which are implicated in the retardation of setting of tricalcium silicate-based materials.…”

“…Moreover, bismuth oxide (the radiopacifier used in ProRoot MTA) is known to retard setting (Formosa et al 2012), negatively influence biocompatibility (Gomes Cornelio et al 2011) and cause discoloration (Camilleri 2014a, Shokouhinejad et al 2016, and so alternative radiopacifiers are being investigated. Zirconium oxide has been suggested as a potentially useful radiopacifier as it does not affect the hydration reaction of Portland cement and does not seem to cause tooth discoloration (Kang et al 2015).…”

Yamamoto S, Han L, Noiri Y, Okiji T. Evaluation of the Ca ion release, pH and surface apatite formation of a prototype tricalcium silicate cement. International Endodontic Journal, 50, e73-e82, 2017. Aim To evaluate the Ca 2+ -releasing, alkalizing and apatite-like surface precipitate-forming abilities of a prototype tricalcium silicate cement, which was mainly composed of synthetically prepared tricalcium silicate and zirconium oxide radiopacifier. Methodology The prototype tricalcium silicate cement, white ProRoot MTA (WMTA) and TheraCal LC (a light-cured resin-modified calcium silicate-filled material) were examined. The chemical compositions were analysed with a wavelength-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy electron probe microanalyser with an image observation function (SEM-EPMA). The pH and Ca 2+ concentrations of water in which the set materials had been immersed were measured, and the latter was assessed with the EDTA titration method. The surface precipitates formed on the materials immersed in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) were analysed with SEM-EPMA and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Kruskal-Wallis tests followed by Mann-Whitney U-test with Bonferroni correction were used for statistical analysis (a = 0.05).Results The prototype cement contained Ca, Si and Zr as major elemental constituents, whereas it did not contain some metal elements that were detected in the other materials. The Ca 2+ concentrations and pH of the immersion water samples exhibited the following order: WMTA = prototype cement > TheraCal LC (P < 0.05). All three materials produced Ca-and P-containing surface precipitates after PBS immersion, and the precipitates produced by TheraCal LC displayed lower Ca/P ratios than those formed by the other materials. XRD peaks corresponding to hydroxyapatite were detected in the precipitates produced by the prototype cement and WMTA. Conclusion The prototype tricalcium silicate cement exhibited similar Ca 2+ -releasing, alkalizing and apatite-like precipitate-forming abilities to WMTA. The Ca 2+-releasing, alkalizing and apatite-like precipitate-forming abilities of TheraCal LC were lower than those of the other materials.

“…To serve this purpose, new materials were produced that contain tricalcium silicate and that have the potential to release calcium hydroxide in solution, which, when in contact with tissue fluids, forms hydroxyapatite [8]. Tricalcium silicate cement has been indicated to have comparable physical and chemical properties to mineral trioxide aggregate [9, 10]. In addition, it has been stated that zirconium oxide is used as an alternative radiopacifier with some calcium silicate-based cements resulting in optimal properties [9, 11].…”

This study evaluated the radiopacity of 3 repair materials, Biodentine, MM-MTA, and MTA Angelus. Standardized cylindrical rings were prepared. Samples of Biodentine MM-MTA and MTA Angelus were prepared (n = 10 in each group), filled into the rings, and preserved at 37°C until setting. A 1 mm thick dentin slice was used as control. All set specimens were removed and radiographed along with the dentine slice and a graduated aluminium step wedge. Digital images were transferred to the computer using a software. The radiographic densities of the specimens were determined, and the values were converted into millimetres of aluminium (mm Al). One-way ANOVA was used for intergroup comparison, whereas Tukey HSD test was used for detecting the group with the difference. The mean radiopacities of Biodentine, MTA Angelus, and MM-MTA were 2.8 ± 0.48, 4.72 ± 0.45, and 5.18 ± 0.51 mm Al, respectively. The radiopacity of Biodentine was significantly lower compared to other materials (P = 0.001), whereas no significant difference was noted between MTA Angelus and MM-MTA (P = 0.109). All materials had significantly higher radiopacities compared to dentine. The relatively lower radiopacity of Biodentine can be improved to achieve more reliable results in procedures such as retrograde fillings.
