Abstract EN
Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy microanalysis (EDX), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Archimedes’ Principle were used to determine the characteristics of inorganic filler particles in five dental alginates, including Cavex ColorChange (C), Hydrogum 5 (H5), Hydrogum (H), Orthoprint (O), and Jeltrate Plus (JP).
The different alginate powders (0.5 mg) were fixed on plastic stubs (n=5) and sputter coated with carbon for EDX analysis, then coated with gold, and observed using SEM.
Volume fractions were determined by weighing a sample of each material in water before and after calcining at 450°C for 3 h.
The alginate materials were mainly composed of silicon (Si) by weight (C—81.59%, H—79.89%, O—78.87%, H5—77.95%, JP—66.88%, wt).
The filler fractions in volume (vt) were as follows: H5—84.85%, JP—74.76%, H—70.03%, O—68.31%, and C—56.10%.
The tested materials demonstrated important differences in the inorganic elemental composition, filler fraction, and particle morphology.
