Background: Chitosan is biomaterial improved for various dentistry applications because it is biocompatible. degradable. non¬toxic, and not carcinogenic. The main parameter affecting the characteristics of chitosan is deacetylation degree. Purpose: This study is aimed to determine the degree of deacetvlated of chitosan derivedfrom white shrimp shell waste used as dental biomaterial. Methods:…
Background: A Q-switched Nd:YAG laser was employed as a source of ablation. The fundamental wavelength of the laser is 1064 nm, with pulse duration of 8 nanosecond operates with uniphase mode of TEM00. In the following experiments, dentin samples (without caries and plaque) are exposed to pulse laser with Q-switching effect at various energy dose. Purpose: The aim of this study was to investiga…
A biomaterial used oral cavity should not become toxic, irritant, carcinogenic, and allergenic. Chitoson represents a new biomaterial in dentistry. To examine the toxicity of chitosan from tiger prawn shell waste on cell culture with MTT assay. Chitosan with concentration of 0.25%, 0,5%, 0.75% and 1% was used in this experiment Each sample was immersed on eppendor microtubes containing media c…
