Innovative biocomposite development based on the incorporation of Salvadora persica in acrylic resin for dental material

Abstract

A novel biocomposite with poly(methyl methacrylate) as resin containing Salvadora persica powders was elaborated. In this study, for the first time, S. persica was used to enhance the bioactive performance of dental restoration materials. Material characterization was carried out both on bare materials and on the elaborated biocomposite (30 wt% of S. persica). X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and high-performance liquid chromatography techniques were conducted to perform material characterization. The obtained results linked to dental material showed the presence of the organic chemical compounds of S. persica, which are responsible for biological activities, and the presence of mineral chemical compounds of S. persica, which are useful for dental applications and health. They also revealed the absence of toxic residual monomers. In addition, they proved the antioxidant activities proof of elaborated composite related to total polyphenol flavonoid content. Finally, they exhibited the antibacterial activity of S. persica and the composite.

Physical, Mechanical, and Thermal Properties and Characterization of Natural Fiber Composites Reinforced Poly(Lactic Acid): Miswak (Salvadora Persica L.) Fibers

“…Most researchers utilize the ASTM D638 standard to assess the tensile characteristics and the ASTM D790 standard to determine the stiffness for the material used for dental applications like toothbrushes or biomedical applications like implants [46,[83][84][85][86][87][88][89].…”

Mechanical Characterization and Impact Resistance of a Novel Hybrid Composite Based on Salvadora Persica Roots and Glass Fibers

“…Natural fiber-based polymer composites find extensive applications in advanced structural systems, owing to their performance and significant potential for reducing composite weight, cost, and enabling recycling [1][2][3][4][5]. Hybridization is a promising strategy for enhancing the mechanical properties of composite materials when used in conjunction with components [6].…”

“…A short time ago, some researchers started to investigate SP powder as reinforcement for composites [6][7][8]. Many extraction methods were followed [9][10][11] with several authors have attempted to define composites made from flax, Hemp, Palmyra, Cactus, Date Palm, Washingtonia filifera and Luffa Cylindrical [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28] , and hybrid composites using fiber glass with Coir, Bamboo, Kenaf, Sisal, Jute, Raffia, Stalk, banana, Coconut Coir, Sugar Palm and Talc .…”
