X-ray diffraction and biocompatibility of glass ionomer cement reinforced by different ratios of synthetic hydroxyapatite
Abstract
Background: This study was done to assist X-ray diffraction and biocompatability of glass ionomer cement reinforcedby different ratios of Hydroxyapatite.Materials and Methods: The powder of glass ionomer cement reinforced by different ratios of Hydroxyapatite wereused to get X-ray diffraction pattern by X-ray diffraction machine, While for biocompatibility test, A polyethylenetubes containing glass ionomer cement reinforced by different ratios of Hydroxyapatite were implanted on thedorsal submucosal site of Rabbit's tissues and histological slide were prepared for histopathological study.Results: X-ray diffraction test showed that all elements of glass ionomer cement reinforced by different ratios ofHydroxyapatite were react with each other and all the final products none crystalline in nature with small amount ofHydroxyapatite present unreacted may be act as cores for final reacted elements. The histological test showed mildirritation to Rabbit's tissues by glass ionomer cement reinforced by different ratios of Hydroxyapatite, this irritationsubsided with time.Conclusions: there is chemical reaction of all elements of glass ionomer cement reinforced by different ratios ofHydroxyapatite and new final products were results .Also glass ionomer cements reinforced by different ratios ofHydroxyapatite were biocompatible with Rabbit’s tissues
