This work aims to conduct a study of development and characterization of a new endodontic biociment, the MTA/HAp. To this was used MTA Angelus ® and a HAp synthesized in the laboratory in the proportions by weight 99% MTA/1% HAp (BIOC 1) and 95% MTA/5% HAp (BIOC 5), where the hydroxyapatite was added in order to introduce MTA to the characteristic of osteoconduction. The tests for the characterization of new cement were: X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and radiographic appearance. The results showed that the new developed biociments were obtained efficiently, since they showed the same crystalline phases of its starting materials (mineral trioxide aggregate and hydroxyapatite), with a morphology consisting of agglomerates of homogeneous distribution of irregular size and shape particles pre-sintered spherical and radiopacity feasible to be used in endodontics.Keywords:biomaterial,sealer,mineraltrioxideaggregate,hydroxyapatite.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
