TL;DR: The study confirms the ability of ProRoot MTA to form a superficial layer of apatite within hours, which might provide a significant clinical advantage over the traditional cements used for root-end or root-perforation repair.

TL;DR: Non-aged cements showed higher cell proliferation than aged cements, probably favoured by the presence of Si-OH gel and the early formation of apatite nano-spherulites, while the alpha-TCP doped cement aged for 28 days displayed the highest bioactivity and cell proliferation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors highlight the recent applications of mid-infrared spectroscopy and in particular of diffuse reflectance spectrograms (DRIFT) and attenuated total reflectance (ATR) and processing methods (e.g., deconvolution, derivative and chemometrics) to rapidly provide valuable information on soil composition and organic geochemistry.

TL;DR: In this article, the efficiency of carbonate substitution in carbonated hydroxyapatites appropriately synthesized by a modified version of old hydrothermal methods, to obtain an increase of carbonates inside the lattice was determined by carbon elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy and thermal analysis and the results obtained were compared.

TL;DR: In this paper, the activating effect of chloride, perchlorate, and nitrate anions on different silver colloids used in surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy is studied.
