Oxyhalide-containing silicate glasses have been receiving increasing attention in recent years due to their extensive medical and dental applications. This manuscript reports the first detailed structural investigation ...

INTRODUCTION/OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effectiveness of bioactive glasses in promoting enamel remineralization. DATA: An electronic search with a complementary gray literature search for in vivo and in vitro research. ...

OBJECTIVES: Dental materials that can form apatite offer the potential to not only prevent demineralisation but enhance remineralisation of the enamel. The objective of this study was to investigate the ability of a novel ...

Adding fluoride into bioactive glasses leads to fluorapatite formation and a decrease in glass transition temperature. Recently, chloride has been introduced into glasses as an alternative to fluoride. The presence of the ...

OBJECTIVE: Dental materials that release calcium, phosphate and fluoride ions could prevent demineralisation and/or enhance remineralisation of enamel. The objective was to develop a novel bioactive glass (BAG) resin and ...

© 2017 Elsevier Ltd The commercially available, machinable, fluormica glass-ceramic, Macor ® , was remelted to produce a glass. This glass was then characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), combined ...

OBJECTIVES: To develop a novel, bioactive glass for removing residual orthodontic adhesive via air-abrasion, following bracket debonding, and to evaluate its effectiveness against a proprietary bioactive glass 45S5(Sylc™ ...
