Letter to the Editor LETTER TO THE EDITOR I was very surprised to read the paper ‘Push-out bond strength of a nano-modified mineral trioxide aggregate’ published on Dental Traumatology 2013; 29: 323–327. The paper mentioned the product ‘BioAggregate was made by Innovative BioCeramix, Inc’. However, we did not have the record to sale or to provide the products to Tehran, Iran for this research. The testing results are not truly to show the properties of products. Package of BioAggregate includes MSDS and IFU, which clearly state the main ingredient of BioAggregate products: 3CaOSiO2 Tricalcium silicate 2CaOSiO2 Dicalcium silicate Ta2O5 Tantalum pentoxide Ca(H2PO4)2 Calcium phosphate monobasic SiO2 Amorphous silicon oxide However, the ingredient of product in paper said: Tri-calcium silicate Ca3SiO5 Di-calcium silicate Ca2SiO4 Hydroxyapatite Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2 (Not gradient in Bioaggregate)
160
Calcium silicate oxide Ca3(SiO4)O (Not gradient in Bioaggregate) Tantalum oxide Ti2O5 Calcium silicate oxide Ca3(SiO4)O) (Not gradient in Bioaggregate) Calcium phosphate silicate (alpha=Ca2SiO40.05Ca3 (PO4)2) (Not gradient in Bioaggregate) These two products are absolutely not same products. I would like to know why authors mix-up these products and testing results. I would like to journal and authors to publish a statement to correct these errors. Best Regards!
