Chemical and biological integration of a mouldable bioactive ceramic material capable of forming apatite in vivo in teeth
Abstract
Chemically bonded ceramics have several advantages compared with conventional ceramics to be used as biomaterials. Especially the possibilities to harden the material at room temperature and to control the rheology are very beneficial. This paper investigates the interface formed in vivo between a calcium aluminate based dental filling material and teeth. Class 1 occlusal fillings were made in wisdom teeth and extracted after up to four weeks. …
