Introduction. Calcium silicate cements are most commonly used materials in
endodontics for many indications due to their exceptional biological and
physical properties. The aim of this study was to assess solubility and
porosity of new experimental nanostructured calcium silicate cement. Material
and Methods. A novel nanostructured calcium silicate cement (CS),
commercialized calcium silicate cement (Biodentin), traditional glass ionomer
cement (GIC) (Micron Superior) and resin-reinforced glass ionomer cement
(Fuji VIII) were used in this study. All materials were prepared as per
manufactuers’ instructions, placed in metal rings of 16Ч2 mm diameter and
kept in an incubator at 37°C for 24 hours. After that they were weighed and
put in plastic containers filled with 25 ml of water for additional 24 hours.
Then after all samples were weighed again and resorption and solubility were
calculated. Results. The highest solubility was found for new CS cement
(12.45) followed by conventional GIC Micron Superior (11.5) and Biodentin
(6.1) whereas the lowest solubility was for resin reinforced GIC Fuji VIII
(3.8). These differences were statistically significant (p<0.005). The
highest absorption was also observed in new CS cement (24.15), followed by
Biodentin (18.5) and Micron superior (17.95) while the lowest was for GIC
Fuji VIII (7.75). These differences were also statistically significant
except between Micron Superior and Biodentin. Conclusion. Solubility and
porosity of new nanostructured calcium silicate cement were significantly
higher than for traditional calcium silicate cement, traditional GIC and
resin-reinforced GIC.
