Abstract:
Improved compositions comprising a mixture of gutta-percha and a hydraulic material containing calcium silicate, calcium aluminate, calcium phosphate, and calcium sulfate compounds are provided. Preferably, the composition includes hydroxylapatite mineral. The composition is particularly suitable for obturating and sealing dental root canals. The composition should provide a stable barrier to bacterial and fluid leakage in the root canal system of a tooth. In addition, the composition should help promote the growth of new bone and tissue surrounding the root tip area.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a calcium aluminate based paste forming a chemically bonded biomaterial on hydration thereof for in vivo anchoring of new implants, or stabilizing of existing implants in situ to an adjacent bone tissue, which paste provides a controlled pH value and temperature as well as initial hardening time. By virtue of the pH value and temperature the paste exhibits antibacterial and/or bacteriostatic properties. The present invention also relates to a method of preparing implants to be implanted wherein the implant is coated with the paste, a method of implanting a coated implant, as well as methods of preventing and treating implant related conditions, such as periimplantitis, and a kit for preparing the paste. The invention is especially intended for re-stabilization of dental implants, and implantation into low quality bone tissue.
Abstract:
Improved compositions for treating dental pulp and root canals comprising a mixture of particulate materials with water-based liquids containing polyvinyl pyrrolidone are provided. Homopolymers and copolymers of polyvinyl pyrrolidone can be used. Optionally, the composition may contain surfactants, humecatants, stabilizers, and other additives. Examples of particulate powders include mixtures of calcium silicate, calcium aluminate, calcium sulfate, and hydroxyapatite. The compositions are particularly suitable for sealing and obturating dental root canals and root apices. The composition provides a stable barrier to bacterial and fluid leakage in the root canal system of a tooth.
Abstract:
Improved compositions comprising a mixture of particulate materials with water-based liquids containing water-soluble polymers and surfactants are provided. Examples of particulate powders include mixtures of calcium silicate, calcium aluminate, calcium sulfate, and hydroxyapatite. Examples of water-soluble polymers include polyvinyl alcohols, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, partially hydrolyzed polyvinyl acetates, polyacrylic acid, and polymethacrylic acid. Surfactants such as sodium dodecyl sulfate are added to the composition to interact with the polymeric materials. The compositions are particularly suitable for sealing and obturating dental root canals and root apices. The composition provides a stable barrier to bacterial' and fluid leakage in the root canal system of a tooth. In addition, the compositions help promote the growth of new bone and tissue surrounding the root-tip area or dentin tissue that covers an injured or amputated pulp.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to chemically bonded ceramic biomaterials, especially a dental material or an implant material. The main binder system forms a chemically bonded ceramic upon hydration thereof, and comprises powdered calcium aluminate and/or calcium silicate, and phase(s) to secure apatite formation at a pH close to neutrality. A second binder system -a cross-linking organic binder system which provides for initial crosslinking of the freshly mixed paste is advantageously added. The invention relates to a powdered composition for preparing the inventive chemically bonded ceramic biomaterial, and a paste from which the biomaterial is formed, as well as a kit comprising the powdered composition and hydration liquid, as well as methods and use of the biomaterial in dental and implant applications with the aim of remineralisation, integration and bone repair.
