Sol–gel based fabrication of novel glass-ceramics and composites for dental applications

Mechanochemically synthesized kalsilite based bioactive glass-ceramic composite for dental vaneering

“…Dental ceramic materials are bio-inert and unable to interacting with the surrounding tissues. Bioactive dental materials have been developed over the last decades (Chatzistavrou et al 2010). According to Hench, bioactive glass produces a specific biological response at the interface of the material which results in the formation of a bond between the tissues and the material (Chatzistavrou et al 2012;Hench and Paschall 1973).…”

“…Chatzistavrou et al described a successful synthesis of bioactive dental glass-ceramic composite using the sol-gel route. They have also reported the feasibility of developed material to be coated on the surface of dental ceramic substrates (Chatzistavrou et al 2010). Furthermore, no work has been reported on the synthesis of kalsilite glass-ceramic using mechanochemical route and its formulation with bioglass to form a bioactive composite.…”

Mechanochemically synthesized leucite based bioactive glass ceramic composite for dental veneering

“…Ceramic materials used in restorative dentistry have specific properties such as durability in the oral environment, similarity with natural tooth structure, high wear resistance and mechanical strength [1,2]. Problems which occur with the patient and dental care system is related to the failure of fixed prosthetic due to cement dissolution and secondary caries [3][4][5][6][7].…”

“…They have also established that developed material can be coated on the surface of dental ceramic substrates resulting in bioactive surface [2]. Further, no work has been reported on the synthesis of leucite glass ceramic using mechanochemical route and its formulation with bioglass to form a bioactive composite.…”

One-pot synthesis of novel crown ether polysiloxanes: Promising solid state ionophores

“…The sol-gel method for preparing hybrid silica-based polymers has gained scientific importance in the last decades, due to its extensive possible applications [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. This method is based on the hydrolysis and polycondensation reactions of silicon alkoxides and organosilanes.…”
