Conditioning factors such as time, size, location, inappropriate disinfection and sealing, are indispensable to achieve acceptable long-term outcomes. Calcium silicate cements are bioactive materials used for perforation repair. They can be set in moist environments such as blood, saliva and dentinal fluid making them a reliable material for clinical applications. This case report describes the treatment and repair after a 16-month follow-up of a lateral root perforation of the maxillary lateral incisor.展开更多

The clinkers sintered at 1350 °C mainly contain 12CaO·7Al2O3, CaO·Al2O3,β-2CaO·SiO2 and γ-2CaO·SiO2. The content of β-2CaO·SiO2 increases while the content of γ-2CaO·SiO2 decreases as the P addition increases. The self-pulverization property of clinkers deteriorates with increasing P addition. P distributes evenly in the clinkers, and inhibits the transformation of β-2CaO·SiO2 to γ-2CaO·SiO2. The cell volumes of 12CaO·7Al2O3 and CaO·Al2O3 decrease and increase respectively as the P addition increases, and P decreases their formation temperatures. The Al2O3 leaching rate of calcium aluminate clinkers decreases obviously with increasing P addition, which decreases form 95.01% to 83.84% as the P addition increases from 0 to 0.85%.展开更多

The result indicates that, continuously under the mechanical power, β-C2 S crystal size would decrease, the micro strain and the effective Beff parameter would increase, and the amorphous phases would be presented. Furthermore, the mechanical power would cause Si-O bond broken and reorganized, the specific surface area would increase, the energy of micro-powder agglomeration vibration would be enhanced and the crystal would be disordered. Finally, β- C2 S was caused to have the mechanochemical change and the activity enhancement.展开更多
