Abstract
Objective: The goal of the current study is to ascertain whether hydroxyapatite from cow bones could potentially be used as a filler to improve the compressive strength characteristics of composite fillings. Material and Methods: The composite filling material used in the test group was self-processed and comprised filler derived from hydroxyapatite of cow bones, which were synthesized via an alkaline hydrothermal method. A composite material manufactured at a factory with silica filler served as the control group. Each group was formed into 16 slabs, each measuring 2 mm thick and 6 mm in diameter. The slabs were polymerized using light curing for 20 seconds. A compression testing machine was used to conduct the compressive strength test, and statistical analysis was performed on the collected data. Results:The average compressive strength value of the test group was greater than the control group, with a statistically significant difference. Conclusion: When employed as a filler, hydroxyapatite from cow bones can enhance a composite filling's mechanical qualities, specifically its compressive strength.
