[Studies of calcium phosphate glass-ceramics--development of dental materials. (Part 2) Acid resistance--(author's transl)]. 1977

H Fukui, and Y Abe, and S Ai

It is well known that minerals of bone or tooth are essentially of CaO-P2O5 system. Glass and the crystallized product, i.e., so-called "glass-ceramics" of which chemical composition is 55 CaO . 45 P2O5 (in mole %) and have been developed for biomaterials were subjected to chemical durability test. Human enamel was also tested for the comparison of the data with them. All the specimens were ground to powders in size from 74 to 140 micrometer. A hundred milligram of the powders were immersed into 100 ml. of N/10 acetate buffer (1 mol acetic acid) solution (pH 4.1) at a constant temperature of 37 degrees C. Amount of Ca2+ and P5+ dissolved were determined by an atomic absorption method and Fiske-Subbarow method, respectively. The order of dissolution is human enamel greater than glass greater than glass-ceramics: the amount of Ca2+ (SCa) and P5+ (Sp) with soaking time (t) was expressed by the following equations, :formula: (see book). The glass and the glass-ceramics show good resistance against a weak acid.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D002130 Calcium Phosphates Calcium salts of phosphoric acid. These compounds are frequently used as calcium supplements. Phosphates, Calcium

D003747 Dental Enamel Solubility The susceptibility of the DENTAL ENAMEL to dissolution. Enamel Solubility, Dental,Solubility, Dental Enamel
D003776 Dental Porcelain A type of porcelain used in dental restorations, either jacket crowns or inlays, artificial teeth, or metal-ceramic crowns. It is essentially a mixture of particles of feldspar and quartz, the feldspar melting first and providing a glass matrix for the quartz. Dental porcelain is produced by mixing ceramic powder (a mixture of quartz, kaolin, pigments, opacifiers, a suitable flux, and other substances) with distilled water.

D000143 Acids Chemical compounds which yield hydrogen ions or protons when dissolved in water, whose hydrogen can be replaced by metals or basic radicals, or which react with bases to form salts and water (neutralization). An extension of the term includes substances dissolved in media other than water. (Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed) Acid
D012995 Solubility The ability of a substance to be dissolved, i.e. to form a solution with another substance. (From McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 6th ed) Solubilities
