title = "Comparison of chemical composition between indonesian white portland cement and MTA as dental pulp capping material",
abstract = "Pulp capping has been suggested as a treatment of choice after pulp exposure. Calcium hydroxide [Ca(OH)2] recognized as gold standard of direct pulp capping matter for some decades. Throughout the time, a new cement known as mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) has developed into a prominent alternative. A recent study found that matter as the most effective pulp capping material. Despite the fact, MTA is an expensive material. Several studies in different country show that portland cement has highly similarity chemical composition with MTA. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the chemical composition of white portland cement that fabricated in Indonesia compared to MTA. White portland cement fabricated in Indonesia was used as a sample in this study and commercial MTA as a control. Samples and control were assessed using X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF) to figure out chemical compositions and concentrations. Investigating the wavelength of the functional group using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR). The results show that composition, concentrations, and functional groups either Indonesian white portland cement and MTA has highly similar. Hence, it has a chance to use Indonesian white portland cement for dental pulp capping material as MTA substitution.",
