Research Abstract |
The strengthening effects of human dentin by soluble carbodiimide were investigated with an aim of preventing tooth fracture. We found that soluble carbodiimide was significantly effective to improve the mechanical strengths of dentin. The strengthening mechanism of dentin by heating was found to promote new collagen cross-linking with relation to water molecules.
