Phosphate-assisted hydration of tricalcium silicate promotes hydroxyapatite formation and enhances osteogenic potential

Why it matters for dental
Tricalcium silicate cements that are hydrated with phosphate show accelerated hydroxyapatite formation, which may improve the osteogenic response around root-end fillings and pulp-capping sites.
Key points
- Phosphate-assisted hydration of tricalcium silicate produced hydroxyapatite more rapidly than standard hydration in bench tests.
- In vitro osteoblast assays indicated higher alkaline-phosphatase activity and mineralized nodule formation with the phosphate-modified cement.
- The findings could influence future formulations of MTA-type materials used in endodontics and vital pulp therapy.
- No regulatory clearance or clinical outcome data are provided; commercial availability is not addressed.
