Review of research on titanium dioxide's use in endodontic.

Formulations NPs Applications Findings ref
Silver/Zinc oxide/and Titanium dioxide Test the fracture resistance of roots that have undergone endodontic treatment using three different nanoparticle solutions that are utilized as final irrigants in root canals. Endodontically treated roots were more resistant to breakage after final treatment with nanoparticles. [54]
Silver/Zinc oxide/Titanium oxide nanoparticles + resin cements Evaluate the push-out bond strength of fiber posts with silver/zinc oxide/titanium oxide nanoparticles Intraradicular dentin pretreatment with silver/zinc oxide/titanium oxide nanoparticles did not interfere with using fiber posts' push-out bond strength [63]
Titanium dioxide nanoparticles + composite resin with everX Flow and MultiCore Flow Evaluation of the mechanical properties of composite resins using nanoparticles of titanium dioxide The mechanical characteristics of composite resin were enhanced when 2.5 % titanium dioxide nanoparticles were added. [70]
Titanium dioxide nanoparticles + conventional glass-ionomer Evaluate the physical and antibacterial properties GI-containing 3 % (w/w) TiO2 nanoparticles improved mechanical and antibacterial properties [68]
Titanium dioxide nanoparticles + calcium silicate-based cement Test the impact of adding titanium dioxide nanoparticles to modified cement made of calcium silicate on its compressive strength. Incorporating titanium dioxide nanoparticles in a concentration range of 1 %–5 % does not affect the improved calcium silicate-based cement's compressive strength. [69]
Titanium dioxide nanoparticles +
mineral trioxide aggregate
Titanium dioxide nanoparticle biocompatibility testing with mineral trioxide aggregate The addition of TiO2 nanoparticles at a weight percentage of 1 wt% did not affect the biocompatibility of mineral trioxide aggregate. [71]
Titanium dioxide nanoparticles + mineral trioxide aggregate Analyze the titanium dioxide nanoparticle-aggregated mineral trioxide's physical characteristics. Setting time, working time, compressive strength, and push-out bond strength of mineral trioxide aggregate were all enhanced by adding titanium dioxide nanoparticles with a weight ratio of 1 %.
Silver and titanium dioxide nanoparticles + mineral trioxide aggregate Analyzing the cytotoxic effects of aggregates of mineral trioxide with nanoparticles of titanium dioxide and silver Mixing silver or titanium dioxide nanoparticles with mineral trioxide aggregate can improve antibacterial activity. [72]
Titanium dioxide nanoparticles + fiber-reinforced composite The strength of fiber micro-tensile bonds was assessed. Surface treated with nanoparticles of titanium dioxide Out of all the materials tested, the composite resin with 5 % titanium dioxide nanoparticles bonded the best to the fiber-reinforced composite post. [73]
Titanium dioxide nanoparticles Root canal walls treated with a 4 % titanium tetrafluoride solution were examined for their impact. walls Endodontics might benefit from this framework. [74]
