Table 1 Elastic modulus and nanohardness of different samples in evaluation of mechanical properties.
From: In vivo remineralization of dentin using an agarose hydrogel biomimetic mineralization system
Sample | Avg Modulus [500–1000 nm] GPa | Avg Hardness [500–1000 nm]GPa |
|---|---|---|
Dentin coated with regenerated tissue after 3 cycles | 19.5 ± 3.1 | 1.12 ± 0.09 |
Untreated natural dentin | 24.1 ± 1.6 | 0.72 ± 0.1 |
Etched dentin | 5.5 ± 2.7 | 0.22 ± 0.06 |
