Abstract
Background This study investigated the physical properties and ion release of casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP)-modified calcium silicate-based cements (CSCs) and compared the properties of a trial mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) with two commercially available CSCs, Biodentine™ and Angelus® MTA. Methods The setting time, solubility, compressive strength and Vickers surface microhardness of the three CSCs incorporated with 0%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 2.0% and 3.0% (w/w) CPP-ACP were investigated. Release of calcium (Ca2+), phosphate ions (Pi) and pH of the test cements were measured after 24, 72, 168 and 336 h of storage. Results The addition of up to 1.0% CPP-ACP into Biodent..
