Evaluation of the remineralisation effect and biocompatibility of boron-doped bioactive glass material on artificial root surface caries.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Root surface caries, which frequently occur due to ageing and periodontal procedures, often require minimally invasive approaches, especially in molar teeth where access is limited. This study aimed to analyse the remineralisation effects and biocompatibility of experimental bioactive glass-containing materials modified through various boron concentrations on root surface caries.

Methods

For the synthesis of the experimental bioactive glass, a rapid alkali-mediated sol-gel was applied. H₃BO₃ was included in the composition for boron modification. Forty caries-free human molar teeth were used. Artificial root caries were formed after 15 days of incubation with a demineralisation solution. The teeth were randomly divided into four groups (n = 10) as GroupF: Fluoride
