NANOCARBON PLATELETS-ENHANCED PORTLAND CEMENT COMPOSITE

The demand for biocompatible dental materials has increased significantly, particularly in vital pulp therapy, due to the need for materials that promote tissue regeneration and long-term success. This invention introduces a novel Nanocarbon Platelets-Enhanced Portland Cement Composite that combines the well-established properties of Portland cement with the advanced mechanical and biological characteristics of graphene oxide nanocarbon platelets. This composite is designed to serve as both a restorative material and an agent for vital pulp therapy. The integration of graphene oxide nanocarbon platelets enhances the composite's mechanical properties while maintaining superior biocompatibility. This ensures the material supports cell viability and proliferation, crucial for successful tissue integration and regeneration. The unique formulation also improves the sealing ability of the cement, providing exceptional protection against bacterial infiltration and aiding in the preservation of dental structures. This invention aims to address the limitations of existing Portland cement-based materials, such as weak mechanical properties and potential cytotoxicity, by offering a more robust and biocompatible alternative. The composite is developed with a specific focus on dental applications, ensuring it meets the demands of modern restorative and endodontic procedures. The Nanocarbon Platelets-Enhanced Portland Cement Composite offers a cost-effective solution that can be easily integrated into existing clinical practices. Its development represents a significant advancement in materials science, with potential applications beyond dentistry, such as in orthopedic and craniofacial reconstruction. This composite sets a new standard for dental materials by combining mechanical strength, biocompatibility, and ease of use, promising improved outcomes for both patients and practitioners.
