Abstract
- This study aimed to assess the calcium (Ca2+) and hydroxyl (OH−) ion‐releasing ability, namely the biointeractivity of eggshell‐derived hydroxyapatite (ESDHA) in comparison with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and calcium hydroxide (CH). ESDHA, MTA and CH samples (n = 10; 8 × 1.6 mm) were immersed in 10 mL of deionised water (37°C, pH 6.8). Ca2+ and OH− ion releases were detected in 1, 7 and 21 days. Scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analyses were also conducted. IBM SPSS 20.0 was used for statistical analyses. The cumulative Ca2+ ions (56.22 ± 11.28 ppm) were detected as most significant in ESDHA (day 21; p < 0.05). The OH− ion values of the ESDHA group were statistically higher than MTA and CH (days 1 and 7; p < 0.05). ESDHA and CH showed a similar pattern with sharp peaks in Ca2+, oxygen and carbon elements. ESDHA being a sustainable material with a high ion‐releasing ability may be a preferable alternative to the commercial vital pulp therapy agents. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
