Abstract

This study investigates bactericidal activities of dental porcelain contained silver/cerium/titania against streptococcus mutans in different irradiations, then the effect of modified titanium dioxide on rheological behavior of dental porcelain slurries is studied for rapid prototyping applications. The results show that the silver/cerium/titania has much higher antibacterial efficiency than that of pure TiO2 either in the room light or under the dark. It is potential to apply this photocatalyst in the dental materials for preventing human teeth from caries because the oral cavity is mostly under dark, partly in the visible light. The modified titanium dioxide not only has a antibacterial effect, but also can improve the rheological behavior of dental porcelain slurries for rapid prototyping applications.
