Nanomaterials are an interesting class of materials that include a wide variety of samples
with at least one dimension between 1 and 100 nm. Nanomaterials are cornerstones of …

The limited durability of resin-dentin bonds severely compromises the lifetime of tooth-
colored restorations. Bond degradation occurs via hydrolysis of suboptimally polymerized …

Objectives Remineralization of demineralized dentin is important for improving dentin
bonding stability and controlling primary and secondary caries. Nevertheless, conventional …

Biomineralisation of collagen involves functional motifs incorporated in extracellular matrix
protein molecules to accomplish the objectives of stabilising amorphous calcium phosphate …

Nanotechnology is touted as the next logical sequence in technological evolution. This has
led to a substantial surge in research activities pertaining to the development and …

Dentin hypersensitivity (DH) is triggered by external stimuli irking fluid flow through exposed
dentinal tubules (DTs). Three commercially available desensitizing agents as control in this …

Biominerals exhibit complex hierarchical structures derived from bottom-up self-assembly
mechanisms. Type I collagen serves as the building block for mineralized tissues such as …

The complex morphologies of mineralised collagen fibrils are regulated through interactions
between the collagen matrix and non-collagenous extracellular proteins. In the present …

Self-assembly is an important strategy for constructing ordered structures and complex
functions in nature. Based on this, people can imitate nature and artificially construct …

The present study was concerned with the synthesis of thin films and nano samples from
heavy oil fly ash (HOFA) doped-calcium carbonate (CaCO 3) with different contents (x= 0, 1 …
