Objectives: To evaluate and compare the major constituents and crystalline structures along with the surface morphology of different types of Calcium Silicate-based Cements (CSC) before and after hydration.
Methods: Six different types of CSC (white Portland cement, white ProRoot MTA, white MTA Angelus, Biodentine, and Endosequence root repair ma...

... XRD showed that anhydrous calcium hydroxide [Ca (OH) 2 ] was found in white PC, ERRM putty, and ERRM paste, while it was missing in the remaining uncured CSCs (Figure 4 and Table 9). However, calcium hydroxide [Ca (OH) 2 ] was found in all cured CSCs, including white PC ( Figure 5). After hydration, the main phases of tricalcium silicate, dicalcium silicate, and tricalcium aluminate were identified at the same locations as those for uncured CSC (see Figures 4 and 5). ...

Objectives:
Particle size and shape can influence the properties of materials. However, to improve the physicochemical and biological properties of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), silicate-based hydraulic cements were introduced. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the major constituents and crystalline structures along with the surface mor...
