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] |
